CAN MEN AND WOMEN JUST BE "FRIENDS"? (page 8)

Carol

I think they can be friends. I have male friends I've had for over 35 years. We've been friends through each others marriages, having children, divorces, deaths in the family, etc. I think a lot of it has to do with where you are in life when you meet, your age and self-control. As a teenager in the 60's, you know the "Free Love" and "Pill" generation......I didn't and still don't believe in just sleeping around...so I don't look at each male I come into contact with as a possible partner and I'm careful to make sure that I don't send out the wrong signals!

So, in the ideal situation, if we hadn't had 2000 yrs of sexually repressive cultural history, what would be the solution when a situation gets hot? Be like the bonobos monkeys? Acknowledge our animalness and have the occasional shag? Run away? Just hypothetical thoughts.

mmmmm, be like human, and just do what comes naturally. Although if in a committed (sp?) relationship, 'doing' ends the relationship and all trust(or at least approach it that way). So, my motto is, think first, then enjoy or walk away.

"That would be the beotch on her knees." Hopefully that means you are sitting and not standing! ;)

I think its like those questions we ask on cross examinations, isn't it possible that it happened this way blah, blah, blah. I think its possible, just that it doesn't happen very often. Most of the time one or both want to be intimate, it is the unusual case where neither are sexually attracted to the other.

You seem little cranky tonight! I would imagine you would be in a better mood if she wasn't inflatable.

I think elsewhere's problem is he's not getting it from anybody so he's in a bad temper! Try a cold shower young man! Your language and chauvenistic attitude is getting old!

Mary....run away!

It's the best and "right" thing to do...

It will escalate if you don't do something...

On the contrary, I *used* to not get any... then I stopped being a pussy who let selfish women cry on my shoulder.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not mean or cruel… I’m actually a very sensitive, tender and caring lover; I just will not tolerate being used.

** sensitive, tender and caring lover **: I also know that sometimes a woman likes it rough.
