Ah the age old question.

I would say with guys, even when you "friend-zone" them immediately, it just make them work that much harder. Sucks when you try to expand a circle of friends.

yes but if there is attraction, the hookup option never leaves the table

Most definitely yes. I have a few close girl friends that are attractive and I would never bone.

I think it's definitely possible in any situation. However, if you do have sex and then try to go back to just being friends, I have never witnessed that being successful without the relationship escalating again. I see a lot of people buying into it, but very few examples of it actually remaining platonic after sex.

even if you were single, you wouldn't? (if they made a move or said they wanted you inside of them)

^^^ I'm good friends with one of my exes. It's not like we suddenly stopped finding each other attractive or anything, but we are mature enough to accept the sex part is behind us. Even when we were both single and saw each other nothing happened.

In the beginning ... when president Dwight D. Eisenhower started the ARPA to gain a technological edge to spite those damn Soviets who sent a satellite to space first, they created the internet. A vast web of scientists that could therefore use collaborative efforts to accomplish larger scientific goals. this was the question he was hoping researchers could answer, that was 1958. It is 2012, and bitches are still tripping on this question.


if Dwight D. Eisenhower couldn't get it answered, no one will.


Also doesn't that make Dwight the ultimate internet troll?

of course men and women can be just friends.

Unless the woman is fat and/or ugly, or the man is gay, the man will always want to bone the woman.

I was successfully able to hold a relationship for 3 months without ever boning her or using the L word.

I wanted to just be friends.

She left me.


It's my understanding that girls just want to bone the guys they are in relationship with, too.

This is not uncommon. Is it?

I mean based on the fact 75% of the population is immature, I guess it is uncommon.

^^^ I wasn't in the picture until a long time after they stopped dating neither was anyone else and nothing happened between them. So, your argument isn't really valid.

Right, I'm friends with plenty of exes that I'm no longer attracted to. But she admitted that they both still find each other attractive. All I'm saying is I don't think its as mutual as she perceives it to be. Most guys would take advantage of the opportunity to have sex with someone they are attracted to if given the chance.

She obviously didn't call him and say "hey lets bang" then. So it's not invalid.

We have spent the night in the same house/tent plenty of times, alone, since we stopped dating. Nothing has ever happened, nor has it been awkward.

So I guess I just suddenly turned ugly.

There are only a couple of females that I've spend a significant amount of time with that I haven't done something with. Notable exceptions being girlfriends/wives of friends.

The biggest drivers in attraction are proximity and amount of time spent together. Hang out with somebody enough and something is going to happen unless one of you is a hideous chud.

It's not always a great idea, but shit happens.

Men and women can be friends, but the man will want to hump the woman, unless she is ugly, in which case the odds of them being friends is far lesser to begin with, because he probably didn't pay her any attention unless he at least potentially wanted to sleep with her, at least at some point.

Duke, I don't even think the 'ugly' factor is a concern to most guys. I've had guy friends (who are pretty attractive) tell me something along the lines of " I fucked this girl but she is nothing to brag about.."ps- tge
