Rockula… I’m not sure on that. Plants are always an option, preferably cacti.

Cacti are pricks.

I have a couple of long term female friends. I’ve never had a an issue confusing friend with something else. Not being able to do that seems kind of silly.

fucking lol~

I have a few female acquaintances but that’s it since I have been in a relationship for 8 years.

But there’s no way I’d hang around with a woman, or girl I should say, under the age of about 25.

Getting stuck in the friend zone is bullshit. You just be mean/flirty/alpha to the girl and she’ll want you usually. The guys who complain to me about this are always fat and will refuse to properly flirt with the friend they’re obsessed with.

and I used to have a lot of female friends but I didn’t enjoy being their boyfriend without benefits. Now I leave them at acquaintance and am much happier

If the person you’re sleeping with is hot who cares what your female friends look like. If you are already getting a lot fo ass you don’t have to look for it under every rock.

I’ve put my weiner in literally every female “friend” I’ve had since I was probably 20. If a woman has a (straight) male friend, it’s strictly for attention and possibly as a backup. So, this dude who’s been hanging around pretending to be a “friend” finally gets his shot, but is too stupid to realize he’s being used.

The girl doesn’t really want to be with him, but she’s lonely and insecure and would rather waste time by using someone she never really cared about than be alone, 'cause being alone means focusing on yourself and coming to the realization that you need major internal work, and most women would rather blame everyone for their shit. And, they’re never really pressed to come to this realization 'cause there’s always some sucker that’ll take 'em in their current (perpetual) state, hoping he’ll get his dick wet.

She gets tired of him, dumps him, a real man comes around, she’s attracted, they do their thing, he realizes what a selfish crazy bitch she is,.dumps her, she gets lonely, jumps immediately into new relationship with male “friend”, and the cycle continues.

I was thinking of how to describe situations I’ve been in before and this sums it up.

Sure, I suppose. But having hot friends (that you flirt with) can play a pretty important role. Provided the girl your sleeping with isn’t completely insecure, the fact that you have hot friends taps into her own feminine competitiveness, which ultimately makes things better for you, since she’ll try to woo you from their attention.

I’m talking about hot friends; not hot friends with benefits. You flirt with her, you want to sleep with her, but you ride that line very closely and don’t actually do it.

(Plus, you know, down the road, you CAN sleep with her if you ever get into a rough spot.)

All right I can get behind that. If you are going to be looking at someone they might as well be hot.

The phrase you want is “emotional tampon”. That said, you don’t have to be that for a female friend just like you don’t have to have needy male friends either.

In the past I’ve had platonic friendships with men but usually I would end up explaining that I don’t like them in that way. Now that I’m married, I would not entertain a true male friendship other than that of with my husband because I believe that it’s playing with temptation on somebody’s part. If I were to look back and think about all of the male/female platonic relationships that I’ve seen, I would have to say that there was an element of flirting on one of their behalf’s.

I don’t have a male that I would “hang out with”, no. Couples, yes. I’m polite to friends or acquaintances of my husbands or say a co-worker but to actually build a friendship with that person, I would not. If I were single I might entertain the idea but would have my guard up so as to not give the wrong impression or to falsely give someone the idea that I was interested in anything other than friendship.

How friendships between men differ from those among women. I remember reading this article a couple of years ago and thought it pretty much exactly sums up how my friendships with women are different from the way my husband is around his guy friends.

Example, he would never just invite a friend over to sit in the kitchen and chat. They are out doing stuff. Mt. Biking friends, surfing friends, whatever. I doubt he would call any of them to tell them if he lost his job.

Curious if other people agree.
