    the 1st paragraph-I didn't know that. Interesting.

    2nd paragraph, like I said, we've been friends nearly 20 yrs. And one of them is married.

    Ok fair enough, 20 years and no bump'n uglies can be a safe bet that sex isn't part of it.

    The only reason MOST girls have guy friends is to keep some on the back burner just incase....and the attention.

    not true for me. my guy friends are my friends b/c, well b/c they are. They've been good friends and helped me in really tough times. Not just b/c I needed 'attention' :)


    you know what though, I think girls and guys can't be 'friends' if one or both are attracted to each other. Then that tension gets in the way and causes problems.

    I'm friends with several girls. I don't think it's that hard. I've always had a large group of friends (girls & guys) so I guess I don't find it that hard, or strange at all.

    i have female friends i have been friends with for over 20 years.
    they are like my little sisters.
    we love each other as just that, bestest of friends, period.
    we can tell each other anything at anytime.
    best thing about havin these chics as my friends is they don't judge like guys do.
    it's very simple, open and honest.

    I have a *friend* who is a girl and my lady has no problem with that. I've even slept in the same hotel room with her and everything was cool. Now grant you she's half my age, beautiful, single mother and I still find a way to keep my cool around.

    When go out to concerts everybody thinks we're together.

    Peace
    That right there tells me that you would sleep with her.
    Which I bet you're happy to let them think
    wow

    Not even after you wake up and have morning wood..maybe just a brush to the booty area ?

    agWell hell yes before I met my lady but that's now changed. I believe she would also because when i told her I had a girlfriend she was disappointed without ever telling me. She respects what I have and I respect what she wants in her young life. Her daughter loves me and how attentive I'm at concerts and at protest marches we attend.

    SFPeople think that way mainly because of her daughter who is interracial and she looks like me. We just look like a couple. We've travel all over the east coast to concerts both with eyes of approval and disdain of being interracial friends.

    PPI'm a man and yes in the morning the thought runs through my mind with her in the shower I have found an inner strength to restrain myself. I just think of my lady and thought is over.

    Because being friends with Girls is pointless. Listen, you have the equipment, they have the locker, it's just natural that you'd want to store it for the offseason.


    Like I'd rather hang out with guy friends that girls. It's more fun with them anyway.



    And don't call online people friends. Those aren't real friends. Real friends are people you actually see in the flesh and hang out with. I can't stress this enough.

    This is why I'd rather be friends with women. They never say such stupid shit.

    Well, that and the boobs, of course.

    about sums it up. :)

    i dont have many female friends because they talk too much. it's exhausting. i like friends because i can get away from a girlfriend or nagging parents or pissed off boss and just sit and watch a football game and not have to think of anything or maybe grunt occasionally. girls are exhausting. always talking about what this chick did to that chick and how they are such a whore, right? it's annoying. it's like having all the baggage of a relationship without any of the good stuff. i'm still listening to her whine all the time, still having to tell her every other woman on the planet is a whore and she's an angel, still having to cope with her emotional roller coaster, so is it really so wrong to want at least a little head after all that effort? because really, what is she bringing to the table of this friendship other than the prospect that maybe if i'm lucky one day she'll have a hot friend she'll try to hook me up with?

    Ha, I was kidding :) I mean, they provide me with endless strife but I love female company. I enjoy conversation with women more than men, for the most part but excluding the kind of bitchy chat you mentioned. I generally feel uncomfortable in large groups of guys with the kind of crap they talk about. It's funny for a while and then just becomes grating. I have a few really good male friends but I generally find it easier to get on with women. Of course, this means I always seem to find myself in the friendship zone with them which can make anything else difficult :p

    i used to be that way. and to be honest, i do have several girl friends. i think they like having me around because my bullshit is amusing and makes them appreciate whatever guy they're hooking up with more. but i dig guy time. you just can't be honest with a woman like you can with your boys.

    i find it odd that large groups of girls seem way more "filthy" than men. guys in big groups just like to be stupid. it's competition. sports stories, shot competitions, swapping stories about hot chicks. girls in large groups talk about nothing but the boys in the room. for all the shit guys take for objectifying men, i've never seen objectification like a group of women decked out at the club or bar and on the prowl. their flirtation is worse than a politician trying to convince you he cares.

    Ah yes, the guy time. When my bandmates and I are drinking, smoking, and hanging out, we are the crassest motherfuckers on the planet. No subject is taboo and are jokes are as cruel as they are smart and high-larious. Our women usually just look at us with horrified expressions (and they aren't dainty flowers) and finally leave the room.

    Outside of my bandmates though, I prefer the company and conversation of women.

    Now see, I prefer the company of my gf's any day of the week. In terms of friendship. We drink, swear and occasionally smoke cigarettes. :eek: I know, bad, bad. But we have so much fun together, are not catty and have an awesome time.
    Sure guys are great and all, but I would rather hang with my girls. Maybe I have just been lucky enough to surround myself with good friends that are cool and let me cut loose. I question those that only have "catty" relationships with women. Often it seems they are the ones with the problems towards other women. Me? I celebrate women and all that we are.

    I had a friend with benefits a few years back....that was cool for a while, but we fought like married folks.

    My two closest friends are actually female.....one I've known since elementary school and am now the godfather of her child and was her 'Man of Honor' at her wedding.....and the other I've known for around four years....she's the one that might have been "THE ONE" but nothing ever came of it because I held back....for a variety of reasons, but she is very special to me and as silly as it sounds to the dudes I wouldn't trade her friendship for anything in the world now.....but I still do wonder what the hell I was thinking sometimes
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    I have only two good friends that are girls and one of them is my sister. Women tend to stab you in the back. I hate that shit, that is why guys are much easier and much better to hang with! They are very cool. :cool:


    I have made lots of female friends lately and it's really cool as well. :p;)

    Honestly, I love women, but if I'm not getting some, or if hanging out with them isn't at least helping me get some, I'd rather just be hanging out with my boys talking shit, busting each others balls, watching football, etc..
