I was always the “awkward jacked guy” in college.
But for essentially what amount to two arranged marriages, I would have probably never have gotten a date.
The only women who I managed to pick up at bars or the like in school/army were crazy Lebanese/Syrian/arab/Turk women who got back at their families by screwing Jewish men.
Oh, and the occassional assigned asian lab partner who would suddenly confess love/lust about 3/4 through a semester.[/quote]
Aww. It’s okay, buddy. We’re all friends here (or, maybe not). hug
Don’t see the point in just being friends with a woman. I mean what do they have to offer? I don’t understand why women want to be friends with men. I would think it’s the same with women not wanting to be friends with guys they’re not attracted to. Maybe some of the women here can explain it to me. The only guess I can come up with is it somehow boosting their self esteem and ego to be just friends with a guy that’s probably attracted to them.

I can answer this based on my female friendships over the years. This doesn’t apply to everyone though so keep in mind. You either compliment/flirt with her and boost her ego. You buy her things or take her places she might not normally get to go. She might get a kick out of trying to make you SO jealous if that applies. She finds it amusing to see how much you will put up with. It’s also conversation with her gf’s about how she can make you do anything and follow her around. That would cover the not so nice women. There are also women to do enjoy the company of either sex and I think it’s easier for them to not cross a line, generally speaking; there are no absolutes. When I was younger, I had many male friends and I am struggling to think of one that didn’t come forth and admit there was an attraction or that they wanted a relationship or sex at some point.
It’s difficult to find female friends with my interests: lifting, shooting, hockey, etc. especially if you don’t look like people imagine a girl would look like that was into those things. I still have managed though and I find a good female relationship much more rewarding. Much the same as the men have said they find friendships with men more satisfying.

I don’t do friends stuff with men because for me the lines are very clear (and male friends in my experience ALWAYS tried to cross over) but as far as work friends go, I get the same thing out of men as I do women. I have one male friend with whom I rant about the stupid stuff in our workplace and another with whom I laugh my ass off. They have different personalities and draw out different aspects of mine. My best work - and otherwise - friend, however, is female. I hang out/do drinks/whatever only with other women unless as a couples thing. It’s just easier, and at the end of the day I can relax more easily with other women than I can with men, with the exception of the man I’m involved with. Probably because I don’t have to worry about whether he’s trying to sleep with me. i know (and am happy) that he is.

Ill join in on this, oh wait I sold my N64 years ago…FML!
Also, some women will keep a guy friend around as a back-up, in the event that shit falls out with her man. Not saying she will bone the guy friend, but it prevents her from being lonely.
“Males were significantly more likely than females to list romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, and this discrepancy increased as men aged - males on the younger end of the spectrum were four times more likely than females to report romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, whereas those on the older end of the spectrum were ten times more likely to do the same.”[/quote]
I’m in my 20s and I have MANY male friends… only one of them acts like he wants me (he’s been grabbing my boobs when he’s really drunk). another offered me his “services” when he found out i haven’t gotten laid for about half a year (but he’ll fuck anything: women, men, any hole pretty much). others never hit on me. some of them just really love dancing and we’ll dance together (not touching each other/freak dancing). i’ve been so drunk i was barely able to walk while with them and none of them (even the one that grabs my boobs) ever tried anything. honestly, we’re just all “party animals” and we just party/have fun together. Maybe it’s because we’re in our 20s…
yeah, they’re not “pussies” and some are very much alpha with other girls. that’s just the way our relationship has always been, lines were drawn early on and they’re just being respectful of that.
P.S. I’m not ugly. I’m cute, I do lots of squats and I’m a D-cup.
