A person whom one knows, likes, and trusts.
dictionary.com
thats the definition of a friend.
I guess with that defintion yeah, its possible. I just think that people are assuming its
Platonic : Pure, passionless; nonsexual; philosophical
which is a false false false false assumption.
Thats my beef with your guys' arguments. It smacks of an unnatural limp-dick-ed-ness of men that I find offensive somehow. |

Ladder Theory has some steeper guidelines, meant to be more of a joke. Thought similar, it follows a more manly guideline, which I will follow more closely now, due to the fact I hate wasting time trying to get with a girl, to have them put the friend sign up...no offence, but if im interested and your not, im not gonna torment myself just to please your close friendship and comfort relationship with me. The Ladder Theory does state alot of obvious feelings one gets from situations that arise from girl and guy friends, while most girls hate to believe it, alot of Ladder Theory can be seen in everyday life. |
85% of my friendships are guys. I don't recall brainwashing them, giving them falsehope, or forcing them to stick around. I couldn't be anymore direct of a person...you have no idea. Everyone knows where they stand with me.
I have drawn a conclusion from all of this...I should be thankful for the friends that I have because if they thought like all of you then we wouldn't be friends. :rolleyes:
I'm done posting in this thread. You guys have a good night. |

| Well, why cant I be friends with someone I want to have sex with? pfft. Its just sexual attraction, I dont have to live by it. I just like to embrace its fun! Sex is good kiddies! |

Guys are awesome. They make better friends than women. I think its awesome you have realized this. But if it wasnt gay to wrestle with another guy and get our asses grabbed we would. We are sensory creatures a lot of time. Adrenaline rushes and so forth. We like video games, pizza, and beer. We like to jump naked into frozen waters.
Guys rock.
So yeah, just expect they want some sensation that is barred from them from the majority of their friends (them being male because males are better friends)
You are a door to a more complete them. and its fun! weeee! i love hanging out with girls and get drunk and doing some shameless flirting. |

Those guys are called "meatheads."
I'm not like that at all. I'm more of a meterosexual myself. Maybe that's why I have way more female than male friends. |

well, then im a meathead who was a network admin for the fastest growing high tech consulting firm in WestCoast history when I was 17. You can be a sensitive, caring, passionate man with a high intellect and still enjoy that beautiful drug your NUTS give you and live on the edge a little some times.
and get drunk. thats cool too. |

I am not saying your brainwashing anyone, or giving anyone falsehope, or forcing someone to stick around. I was just refering to several relationships that came from girl/guy friendships ive seen and happen to me. Just to clarify, I am very direct too, but Im only human and sometimes even long time friends can turn to be something more than I ever thought. I've heard of people who had friends for 15 years+, and see something they never saw and made a connection. All I'm trying to say is that there has to be some sort of natural attraction to that person to have them there and make them part of your everyday life, meaning just because you dont want the sex now, its not impossible that it couldnt happen, people think different over time and want different things, the natural attaction that comes with being friends, means theres something you accept about them to allow them close to you, just like a boyfriend/girlfriend. But I dont count people I just see in class, or say whats up to like once a week, im talking about close friends, bestfriends who see each other alot and spend alot of time together.
As for your conclusion, get your head outta your ass, unless your God, and know exactly what everyone of your friends are thinking at all times. I'm sure they could have had thoughts at one point or another about you, but there just thoughts, it doesnt mean they have to go on their every urge and want to bang you. Some of these guys are taking the joke of the Ladder Theory too seriously for the depth of where this conversation is going. |

If you think about it the other way. think about the people you REALLLLLLLLLY hate. Like me. Youve probably had flashes where you want to kill me. And if there were no laws and youd not be caught...hey you might.
its like that. but stronger. and there ARENT any laws, and you WANT to get caught.
I am so awesome at analogies it hurts. |
