If its not possible for a male and a female to be friends then how come girls always tell me that they "just want to be friends"?

Just kidding.

They don't even want to be my friend.

Actually, though, I finally met a girl in this ****ty town that I really like, and for some reason she seems to like me too. However, I don't know if she just likes me as a friend or as something more. I wouldn't have to worry about that if guys and girls couldn't be friends, now would I?

It is. One of my great friends here is a female.

Of course she's also a negro so that may be why.

Why does that change anything?

I said negro. Didn't you read that part?

This thread strikes me as bizarre. From my perspective, it's very easy to be friends with women and for it to be nothing more than that. I have lots of female friends, and I think that my friendships with most of them would be not much different if I (and they in some cases) were single. By which I mean there is no sexual aspect. Well, not from my point of view. Of course when people look at me they just think 'sexsexsex' but that's not my fault.

If you think girls are bitches to guys you should see how bitchy they are to each other.

And if you've been screwed over by a girl I'm sorry. Just don't get too caught up on ranting about how evil those girls were and make sweeping generalizations and we'll be friends.

The question is a little offensive. I realize I speak from a slightly different perspective, but the reason why I thought Kevorkian's (and not only hers) post was ridiculous is because saying male-female friendships are "unnatural" (in any circumstance, whether your married or not) implies humans are not much better than animals. So two people have a vagina and a penis and suddenly they're unable to control their impulses? They simply can't help but to feel attracted to one another?? What kind of bullshit is that?

Yeah...I did read that part...but I don't understand why it would have anything to do with the fact that you are friends with this person.

Screwed more than once. I wasn't ranting I was bitching, though I'm sure there are some decent pieces of crumpet to be found p.s your friendship means alot.

thanks babe, that's really sweet.

And sorry again you got screwed, I've only gotten screwed once in my life and it was like 4 years ago and i'm still bitter about it. So you have my full sympathy if you've had it happen more than once.
