He could have saved quite a bit of time if he'd just watched that one scene from When Harry Met Sally.

You can be friends with somebody you want to bang. I mean, inevitably the guy will think it's a good chance to make his move and get shot down, but no reason that should ruin the friendship.

You're female, aren't you? By this definition, every man is politely stalking.

Nothing earth shattering here. Women want to be friends with men because it's part of their best evolutionary strategy: keep a lot of guys around to move furniture and protect them and then pick only the best one to mate with. Men want to spread their seed, so they absolutely want to bang 100% of their female friends.

It's genetic... men are hunters by nature, so yes, it's polite stalking.

Remove the sexual attraction, completely, and there can be platonic friendship. That **CAN** be accomplished in several ways, but depends greatly on both parties. Women have an easier time "turning it off" than men, or at least putting those feelings aside.

It doesn't help that many women toy with men, either... keeping a man as a "best friend" knowing he is interested sexually (and probably a bit frustrated) isn't exactly honest, either.

And you know that you're the only one to say okay
Where you goin', what you looking for
You know those boys don't want to play no more with you

Women want to be friends because they would rather not have conflict, Many men seem to have difficulty overcoming the cultural programming that tells them they can only fark something, control it, or kill it. Sad thing is, they weren't like this until extraterrestrial interference installed Patriarchy in 6000BCE.
This would be interesting and probably a lot more entertaining interview with seniors, given the delightful shift that happens to the human body where each gender gets to experience more than a taste of each others hormones.

As a male, I used to believe I couldn't have female friends who I wasn't attracted to. Then my best friend married and divorced a mutual friend, and I have totally friend zoned her, whereas in a different situation I totally would have banged her.

Who am I kidding? I'd still bang her if there was no chance he'd find out. I'd feel icky before, during, and after, but I'd still do it.

chopit: Who am I kidding? I'd still bang her if there was no chance he'd find out. I'd feel icky before, during, and after, but I'd still do it.

I could do it for you, if you'd like. That way you wouldn't have to feel all icky about it.

That's some horrible logic right there chief. If we are genetically hunters by nature, we are therefore hunting everything, all the time, in everything we do? If you aren't saying that, then connect the dots in this instance. I'd argue that if the primary intent of the friendship isn't secretly becoming a friend to get past the security and sneakily wet your dick, then it isn't stalking.

I've had friendships with women I definitely wouldn't have turned down if it went physical. I also knew they weren't interested in me in that way, so I kept it in my pants. They were also enough fun to be friends with that I would have still been friends had they been ugly.

Your post makes you sound like a cave-man with emotional baggage. :P

Ask yourself this; how many "friendships" have you had with women you'd never, ever sleep with in a million years?

And I don't mean "yeah, I'll hang out with her among a bunch of other friends and make conversation"; that's an acquaintance. I mean an actual friend, who you confide in, who you deliberately try and spend time with specifically, etc.

How many women are you THAT close to whom you WOULD turn down? Because I absolutely guarantee that most semi-attractive women can name at least one guy they'd fit in that category.

You proved the point about "polite stalking" in your own case.

I'm merely saying that most men do have the self control not to push the issue, but we are always thinking about the opportunity... even if circumstances make the situation impossible. Women do not normally think that way.

It's just a key difference between men and women.

As for the cave-man thing...

"Really?"
 
2011-12-08 12:04:31 PM
Yeah, my best friend is a guy. He would bang the majority of young women who gave him the opportunity. I would not bang the majority of young men who gave me the opportunity. That's just the nature of the beast, it doesn't negate anything.

You think gay guys don't have any male friends either?
 
2011-12-08 12:23:40 PM
I think this might be a matter of definitions. I like to think I'm pretty good friends with my wife, but I'd still totally nail her.

How many Fark males would want BiE?

How many Fark females would want WiE?

I'd hazard the guess that the difference would be rather significant.

I have a wing-women I often hit the bars with on the weekends.
She gets me girls, and usually hands me the free shots that guys buy her .... and I offer her drunk-ass some protection when she's going home (if she didn't pick up a guy). I find it a very win-win scenario and am happy.

However, for the most part, this guy is correct.

was that Mac's douchey little brother? I have a female friend I'm just not attracted to. Used to spend the night at her house in my twenties and get drunk and sleep on her couch.

We're all missing something vital here. There are lots of hot chicks at Utah state that would totally hook up.

Men don't have female platonic friends. They have women they haven't farked yet (for one reason or another).

This video made girls look oblivious, which sometimes they are. Some of my guy friends I've known for more than eight years, and while even those guys would probably bang if I wanted to, we would still never get any further than friendship (and the sex would be weird, shameful and eventually become a running joke). I also have close male friend I set up with one of my female friends and they've been together now for years; we are so far in the friend zone but people still raise an eyebrow.

So because there's sexual tension between two people (or for one person) it means they can't be REAL friends? Hunh. I guess I'll start deleting people from my Friends list, then.

I have one less woman in that category than I have men.

As to your last question, I bolded my earlier statement for your reading comprehension. That fact doesn't change my ability to be friends with anyone, it just means that I have a functioning penis and if they have a nice face and boobs, I'd hit it. It doesn't mean I'd stop being friends with them if they got ugly (though I might stop wanting to have sex with them :P ).

To sum up my relationship with other people:

If we click as friends, we will be friends.
If they are someone I'd like to stick my dick it, I won't rule it out.

Coincidentally, those could be placed on a venn diagramm, and there would be obnoxious hot chicks in one area, friendly hot chicks in the middle, and friendly guys and girls in the third. That doesn't mean that I'm stalking anyone. I'm not in the relationship for the hunt, I'm in it for the relationship.

There is no reason to make things mutually exclusive.

LesserEvil: You proved the point about "polite stalking" in your own case.

See, here is the question. I'm good friends with a fat chick, who would probably be hot if she dropped 70 pounds. Am I "polite-stalking" her? I wouldn't hit it today if she called me up, but if she became hot, then I would. That's my point; it is all about intent. If you are only friends with a woman in order to fark her, then ya, you are doing the polite-stalking thing. If not, then whether or not you WOULD fark her doesn't determine whether you are a stalker.

ymmv though. Maybe some of you CAN'T be friends with a woman that you wouldn't fark, and that's why you are so intent on telling me I can't. I dunno, I can't make that determination for you, and I won't tell you who you are or why you act the way you do, I can only tell you why I do, and thus say that the things I do are possible.

The video is retarded, anyway. It equates "like" with "want to fark." Also, guys have nondiscriminating dicks (new window, NSFW but hilarious!).

I find this very interesting.
When guys complain that their girlfriends don't understand that they are "just friends" with other girls, then they are saying that guys and girls CAN be "just friends."
But when actually questioned about if girls and guys can be "just friends" the answer seems to be a resounding "no."

It is one or the other. They can't have it both ways.

My ability to be sexually attracted to a girl who is my friend does not mean I would cheat in a relationship.

There are several women that I secretly lust after, but I also think they are just awesome people and I greatly value our friendship. Being that I'm married, and they are frequently married, I'd not even let it get physical anyway or even get flirtatious. I take the long view. I figure that at some point I will outgrow my hormones, but never those friendships. Also, it helps to be married to someone who is not automatically jealous of every female with whom one wishes to be friends.
 
2011-12-08 04:21:14 PM
My roomate got put into the Friend Zone just recently, so I'm laughing my ass off. This girl is just manipulating him over and over into dealing with and listening to her self-centric, cry-on-my-shoulder girl bullshiat as much as any partner would have to deal with, except he can't even get a kiss on the cheek. And these are the types of guys alot of girls surround themselves with. Guys tripping over themselves for a table scrap that doesn't exist. And these biatches are all more than happy to lap it up. And these men are "pigs" to hope or suggest it leads an actual relationship where they are rewarded for giving their all to a person and their problems. I know my friend really likes her, and is trying to do the right thing by her and not treat her like a piece of shiat, but she's just stringing him along taking full advantage and seems fully fine with it.

files.sharenator.com

Although, notice I said "girls" and not "women". Women, which are rare, actually know and understand the value of the time we have on Earth and don't expect it to revolve around their princess problems. Unfortunately, girls can take years or even multiple decades to develop into real, self-respecting women, if at all.
 
2011-12-08 04:22:09 PM
Oh come on. Sure men and woman can be *just* friends. The men just tend to be gay in those cases. Or, as subby says, there's an overriding level of ugly.

If you describe yourself as a "filmmaker" at least take as much pride in your craft to be as effective as a news crew. At least the camera operator pointed the camera in the general direction of the subjects most of the time.

My best friend of 15 years is a girl.
We met when I was 12 and she was 11. We did try the romance thing a couple times, we were even each others first, but we've been much better off friends, not lovers.

She is beautiful and I'm average enough not to stand out.

There have been rough spots. We've both figured out there are certain lines the other will not touch often. I'm not gonna listen to her biatch about a horrible boyfriend she will not dump. She's not gonna force herself to like a girl I'm dating (though my girlfriend of a year and her get along great).
 
2011-12-08 05:44:40 PM
I've never been friends with a woman and been able to honestly say that I didn't want to bang them.

I don't know... I'm really good friends with a decently attractive woman and I've no desire to boink her, but that's largely because I'm afraid my penis might melt off afterwards.

This video seems to ring true as a general rule. Though, my pseudo-asexual-ass seems to be able to befriend good looking females without any thoughts of or desire to stick it in 'em... But I'm weird.
 
2011-12-08 09:31:11 PM
Because the video is edited, we can't see a continuous scene (a la news report style) so we don't know if there were differing responses than the outcomes shown.

I do expect that the majority would say as they did, but there would be a statistically significant amount of answers contrary to what is shown.

/Funny video though

Wow... novel! Someone should make a movie about this!

A guy and a girl could meet and, for an extended period of time, talk about this exact question: Can men and women "just" be friends. They can argue either side based on each others' biased definition of "just friends". They can then split and evolve into completely different people, reconnecting throughout their growth as humans until eventually, they just end up together. And at the end of the movie, after great strife, can decide that the question doesn't matter because, so long as the guys don't rape the girls, people just end up together BECAUSE of friendship, not despite the question of sexuality.

I'm telling you... if we set this in some sort of metropolitan area with seasons, this could be the next big blockbuster!
