I had the same prob when I was a young’in – tell ’em you’d rather sleep with an alcoholic dolphin.
omfg how timely a bitch; my 28 yr old platonic girlfriend who is a very solid 8 innocently(i think) flirts with me all the time and for a guy it takes every frickn’ ounce of control not to go there; she is forever pouring coffee for me inches away and rack in my face; i even say sometimes ;”aren’t you scared i’ll cop a feel” she’s all nope i trust you; dooh!
I hate it when that happens! Even worse: when they fall in love with you, ruining a perfectly good friendship.
I hear you there Martym !!! Jesus man I have a couple nice cute female friends I’ve known for years !! Yea – they can trust me – but like you – it take all my effort to NOT cope that feel !!!
dang i gotta get a life here now i’m all worked up like mf:)
Men never have a “platonic” relationship, especially when you get to be close and the guy doesn’t have a girlfriend/wife/Significant Other in his life.
Although Martym – taking your platonic chick friend out and having her play girlfriend – will get you more girls on the prowl !! I use my buddy like that – but I tell her the score before I plan on using her for that purpose and she’s cool with it . It sounds bad – but with friends – especially a couple of these girls I’ve known forever ( I have two from NS up here in Calgary ) , it really isn’t . Sometimes I just think of them as one of the guys and that keeps my attention off they’re racks and ginnies , and work male type plans at how to score a chick . Always known chick bait works haha !!!
yea that’s an idea for sure; but now that i’ve gone a year clean and sober i’m looking pretty good and before i fell into the tar pits i did pretty good with females of the opposite sex; now i just have to get a little grounding and a life and things will fall into place i’m sure:)
ps; and i gotta gig at the olympics; euro babes yea baby!
well shit baby, if you’re a good looking honey, can you blame a dude for trying?
UGH.
Good deal with the olympic gig Martym !!! Good on ya to for cleaning up !!! Man , all them chicks there – your bound to get some !!!!
well yea i hope to nail umm i mean engage females from different countries in stimulating conversations and perhaps parlour games and such:)
I’ve had platonic relationships with females before. One was my roommate although we don’t speak anymore. But for years we were the new version of Will & Grace except I liked girls and she wasn’t Jewish or a designer. I’m just as handsome as Eric MacCormack though.
HAHA FAt I’ve had them . Its fun to have a awesome chick roomie !!! Plus having a girl in your house that you don’t fuck makes for less arguments ! And they smell nice !!! Martym – LOL – Way to go man !!!! You have the male bitchers blessings on that one !!!
Yeah, roomie did smell nice. Hardly argued except for when she said she was exempt from cleaning b/c “she’s hardly there”. Bitch still used shit when she was but still didn’t think she had to clean it.
She had a bed full of dishes once that I refused to wash. Think I resorted to paper plates/cups then to “exempt” myself from doing dishes.
I had a male roomie back when that was a total pig like that Fat . I had to argue to get him clean shit all the time . Ended up kicking him out and got a female roomie . I’ve never had that problem with a female roomie . I share my house with a chick that works 3 weeks in fort mac and comes here to Calgary on her “Out time ” . Shes clean and even borrows my car and brings it back filled with gas and a good wash !!! Shes a nice girl – cute and a rig pig – gotta love them ones !!!And she puts the nice female touch in my house and smells nice !!
I think the roommates expected me to do the dishes because I was the oldest and most of the dishes belonged to me. You know, they use them but I own them so they’re obviously my responsibility.
It was amusing watching them run out of dishes (their own) after one meal while I had a packed box sitting on the kitchen floor. Oh, and I was being a dickhead for packing up my belongings too. And for not sharing my paper plates/cups/plastic-ware. lol
Real guy friends don’t go there. Pretender friends scheme to get you naked. Stop hanging with guys who only pretend to be interested in being your friend.
well then i want to be a pretender friend to her. come on baby, you know you want to.
All things being equal, better a nice rack in the face than a couple of rolls or chins…
Unless both “platonic” friends think the other is butt ugly, it truly will never be strictly platonic. One of my closest friends is a guy and we’ve expressed no interest in each other until we both got drunk a few months ago and hooked up proving the subconscious is a wonderful thing.
babygirl…ugh. dont make me ashamed of my own gender. I’ve had guy friends for years, and gotten drunk with them, and never taken off my clothes.
I have way more guy friends. I’ve never had a problem explaining that I’m off limits and to this day, they’ve all shown me nothing but respect. They become brothers of sorts with gossip and great conversation. Travelling with a best male friend is also a riot and benefits, both parties.
An added bonus to these relationships is that they don’t ask to borrow your clothes…but they sure like it when I go shopping with them…
Interestingly, a couple of my platonic friends developed out of failed attempts at a relationship/dating. We had the hots for each other initially (that’s how we met), but circumstances prevented dating and now we’re just good friends. In fact, I’m attending the wedding of one of them next summer.
I think whomever said that someone being friends with you just because they want to fuck you is a fake friendship is bang [heh] on. I’ll even admit to getting involved with a “friend” and then not wanting to be their friend after the involvement stopped. The feeling was pretty much mutual so I don’t lose too much sleep over being a bad friend in that situation given the fact that the entire friendship was based on sex.
Guys and girls can still be just friends AND fuck at the same time. Sex is just sex, don’t think too much into it and just enjoy the physical pleasure that it brings. Don’t let silly emotions get involved and fuck things up with the friendship. Although they tend to do that, don’t they? Stupid emotions.
That’ll teach you to hace nice parts. Mmmm… lady parts… Can I be your friend?
A guy started this Bitch.
lisababe, It sounds like babygirl was indicating that with lower inhabitions they acted on their true feelings and she seems to have been happy with this. Why would this insult your sex? You sound like one of those catty haters whom seek faults in any woman acting on their sexual desires… prude…
ah… the plague of being attractive…
how sad for you. must suck to get stuff for free, head of the line, everyone smiling all the time….. how utterly tragic. I mean, I just wouldn’t be able to STAND having my pic of friends and mates…. getting free drinks…. world on a fucking platter.
FUCK YOU.
Personally, from a guys (well, more sane that some of the other douches on here) perspective, single guys are looking for a mate before a female friend to chill with.
once we have the ring on our finger and the balls on the shelf at home, then you can deal with the platonic thing.
I have one woman to deal with every day… I sure as shit don’t need to commit ANYTHING to any more…
LIKE I ALWAYS SAY TO MALE AND FEMALES: DON’T HATE ME BECAUSE I’M BEAUTIFUL:)
which is a clear indication that your are not…
