You're different, Jennie. You act like a guy. Most guys would rather not guys. |
Pretty much. I actually make it a point to turn up my guy factor when I'm with my guy friends, just in case they start remembering I have a vagina. |

| She is lying to you guys about the vagina part. |

It can only work if you bang them early, or you arent attracted to them but enjoy their company regardless.
Or if they smell. |

Calling it impossible is a definite overstatement, but I can see why some people might think it a useful one. The world is so full of oblivious people; everyone wants to think they are the exception to the general rule. Most aren't--that's why it's the general rule. But try telling them that and see how far it gets you (or don't, if you value your time.)
Of course, trying to take away that wiggle room will probably help dispel such delusions only rarely, since those in denial can just reject your claim, citing themselves as the exception which proves it false. What's really great is that these same people, if and when they finally realize their friendships weren't what they thought, will be the very people who then believe it is entirely impossible. To them, if they're not among the exceptions, then there must be no exceptions. This process of masturbatory rationalization is both extremely transparent and highly amusing once you develop an eye for it. That's why I prefer to sit back and enjoy the show rather than trying to dispel anyone's misconceptions. |

yea it's impossible because of the fact that men have penises.
i have several guy friends and you definitely won't catch me saying something stupid like, "oh he would NEVER me, we're like brother and sister!" lol i know how you guys are. it's just a matter of whether or not the male friend respects the boundaries and doesn't ever make me feel uncomfortable or make a move on me.
i think guys are capable of having a friendship with a girl they'd bang if given the chance. meaning, i don't think they are only "friends" with the girl because their only motive is to bang her one day. |

It depends. If you're one of those guys who is happy being friends with ugly chicks, then yes, it is certainly possible.
However, if you're like me and (sub)consciously shy away from friendships with ugly girls, you are pretty much always going to have a desire to shag your friends, because they are good looking and you will always be attracted to them in some way. |

I've known most of my guy friends longer than I've been with my bf, and I've not always been in a relationship. When my bf and I split for 2 years, only 1 of my buddies tried anything. Believe me, I can pretty much guarantee the majority of my guy friends think of me as a dude. The ones who would me have never hesitated to verbalize it. |
i don't doubt your relationships with others being that i'm not you, or one of your close guy friends, but i'm sure the thought has passed by their heads on more than one occasion. whether they act upon it or mention it is a whole other ball of wax.

fascinating thoughts on that, i see what you mean- and i had the same experience when talking to a person about the topic earlier in class, that of being the exception to the rule. people are egoists, what can i say.
again, is it possible for males and females to be "just friends"? sure, it happens all the time. however, is it possible for males and females to be friends without the obstacle of sexual attraction/tension? severely doubtful. unless that bitch is nasty. |

This friendship is different though- we live in different towns and there's no reason why we have to get on with each other. I'm pretty convinced it's compelling evidence against the COR logic on relationships and friendships.
COR version: Man and woman are friends without wanting to bang each other. Impossible? |
You make sex sound as something obscene or prohibited :p While sex is a very important and an intimate stage in any relationship; it shouldn't be restricted to remain within boundaries of 'serious' or 'other'. If you don't have any sexual desires for another woman, then you could have a platonic relationship, but I agree that at least for most men, sex is a recurring idea; at least, from my experience. |
