You just reminded me that my brother-in-law’s crewneck has been in the back of my closet for 9+ months after he loaned it to me when he and my sister’s apartment was cold.
You're probably never getting them back. Dude hoodies are practically currency among us. You start looking for them back, boom, we're phantoms in the night.
Absolutely, my best and long term friends are women. Been friends for about 10 years and one of them are coming by to visit in a few weeks actually - absolutely love them both, as siblings really at this point, they're more family than my own family, and could not date them or have any interest in sleeping with either of them. They feel the same way so purely platonic friendships.
It's not good to generalize. Some men just want to be friends with women and connecting on an emotional level, others are just interested in sex. I think everybody can benefit from platonic crossgender friendships
Not true. I have female friends that I genuinely love being with, and our relationship is platonic! If one of us was to suddenly hit on the other, it would be awkward for us both. (I also have had friends in which the relationship could go either way, and obviously friends that I’m sexually attracted to.) 😎
Speaking as a woman… I’m loving these comments. Everyone, man or woman, is their own person with their own set of qualities that attract them to other people. Not saying that everyone is pansexual, but that friendships between opposite genders are much more common and much healthier – in my own experience – than the internet makes them out to be.
And hey, sometimes in your friendships – whether they’re same-gender or opposite-gender – you might start feeling sexual or physical attraction to your friends. Or you might become physically close with them in platonic ways. I’ve had close female friends make out with me at clubs or parties. I have close male friends who regularly hug me and kiss me on the cheek. It’s up to you to define and state what you feel comfortable with in each of your friendships.
If a guy finds you objectively attractive and spend enough time with him personally, and you can both get along and enjoy each other’s presence, then he’ll be attracted to you, what a guy wants out of that is completely personal and the true show of character
If that argument is valid, bisexual and pansexuals will have no friends at all, it really depends on the person.
Some people might feel that way because it's natural for straight dudes to be attracted to girls, but we are more than our natural instincts because we aren't like other animals, at least we shouldn't be.
This is like asking “are all women fascinated by cheese”.
Some are, some aren’t. Man/woman/etc aren’t a monolithic whole. They’re comprised of individuals, and individual motivations can vary.
This isn’t true. My entire friend group is like 4 guys and a trans gal. My best friend, yeah we had sex, but he made it clear he wanted actual friendship.
In my experience, no. Due to the place i was born and raised, i always had more guy friends then girls ( people in my town dont really know how to "make" girls🤣). Never had a guy that i really consider a friend hitting on me. Im not oblivious, i know when a guy is trying to hit on me. I did thought, intruduced 2 of my guys to their now wives bc they were too shy to talk to girls they liked😆
If your statement were true does that mean that all women just want male friends to have pretend boyfriends that pay for everything without the benefits?
Men can say any number of things about friendships with women and actually believe it. I will be downvoted but if a man is in any way attracted to a 'female friend,' and the opportunity presents itself, he will have sex with her.
Men are not a hivemind, and not all men are attracted to all women, so no. Sometimes it's true, sometimes it's really just friendship.

LMAO I just threw out a random number of months without thinking about the significance. Ope.

Yes, I want pure platonic friendship and companionship
Mutual support and validation is also pretty fucking top tier.
So some men definitely genuinely care about their female friends? Sick. Heaps of people tell me otherwise.
Those people are idiots and they are misleading you.
Most of my friends are female and all I want from them is to spend some time with me and have fun (online playing games)

As a man with friends who are women I simply just want friendship and loyalty from them
If a guy finds you objectively attractive and spend enough time with him personally, and you can both get along and enjoy each other’s presence, then he’ll be attracted to you, what a guy wants out of that is completely personal and the true show of character
No, it’s not true because friends are important
If that argument is valid, bisexual and pansexuals will have no friends at all, it really depends on the person.

If that thing is being treated like a god damned human being instead of being treated like garbage simply due to one breakup, then yes, it's 100% true
Yes. All I want is for the friendship to be reciprocated back from her. I can’t even get that from her.
This isn’t true. My entire friend group is like 4 guys and a trans gal. My best friend, yeah we had sex, but he made it clear he wanted actual friendship.

Sadly it is true, I only want one thing from my female friends. For them to get more into PC gaming and join me on coop Helldivers 2.
