do you mean to meet friends or to meet women to boink for free? Originally Posted by Mya MichelleWell, there *are* benefits besides boinking, but boinking is one of them, right? But don't women enjoy or want to just go do something, watch a movie, or just spend time together without getting paid $200-300/hour?
Sad to think that there are no authentic man-woman friendships in this world. Originally Posted by jceemanMale to female friends do exist, just one of the pairs wants more than friends at some point and causes the friendship to strain.
Doesn't anyone else know couples that are both best friends and lovers and not in it only to use the other person as a means to their own ends?

Originally Posted by bored@homeWell, of course if someone HAS an SO then male-female friendships can be problematic. But, if not, a male-female friendship would, i should think, be open to the "more than friends" possibility at any time if that is what both want to do. Or do we live in a society that is so messed-up with regards to sex that this is some kind of big "red line?"

I'm recently going through that right now (again). Fell in love with a good friend, she doesn't feel the same, we both agreed that nothing will happen to our friendship yet our friendship is fading fast. Doesn't help that she lives out of state, even if it is just a 9 hour drive. I've come to the conclusion, since this very scenario has happened quite a bit, that if you develop feelings for a friend never let them know and move on from it otherwise that friendship IS going to end. I've lost some good friends because of honesty.

I mean, what kind of relationship is it when, if you're honest about your feelings, it causes her to drop you like a butt. Makes you wonder what the hell she was doing hanging out with you in the first place - and what the hell did she expect? or, it did me. I was "friends" with the woman I'm referring to for three years; the last year, we became really close and did freakin everything together - like shopped for a Christmas tree together kind-of-together; she even told all of her girlfriends I was her best friend; hell, strangers thought we were married; but we never had sex. Then when I unloaded my feelings on her one day, she started drifting away and "poof" - she was gone. We don't even call or text anymore. Did I miss something, or is that just Fucked Up?!
