Can a man and woman be friends? - Page 2

Baraka · 10-02-2023, 05:30 PM

Sure, they can be. It's easier if both are not attracted to the another. If not, then it makes it a little harder.

That’s what she said.

This is certainly a thread.

Just saw the Snicker's swinger commercial and thought of this thread.

Even if the man and woman are totally platonic, if they are seen in public together the rumor mill spins. Not worth the headache.

Moldy takes a deep dive into his own version of the Secret Life of Walter Mitty - guess the tree pics got boring? Remember how Jimmy Carter said he had "looked on a lot of women with lust" committed "adultery in his heart" many times?

Someone is upset there’s a debatable poll out there

coltsnsox07 · 10-02-2023, 09:20 PM

The farmer and the cowman should be friends.

DiamondDonovan · 10-03-2023, 11:05 AM

I don't know why but this thread made me think of Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson. "Platonic Work Relationship"

Can they be friends? Yes...but at some point there was/is some sort of attraction. The question if it works or not would come down to how your partner would feel about about it.

asujbl · 10-03-2023, 11:31 AM

I love that the premise is that good looking people are always friends so they can’t possibly not be attracted to each other

Benson is a smoke show. Stabler ain’t bad himself

What if Benson was pushing 250? Stabler still can’t help himself or vice versa? Shocking the two beautiful people were attracted to each other as friends

Not everyone is good looking. I mean I am but not all of you

I feel like this is a pitch meeting on YouTube where it’s “they are now love interests because they are both hot even though they just met”

What happens when two average looking people are friends?

They are the same gender.

letsgocapitals · 10-03-2023, 11:53 AM

If they're in the same ballpark on looks, doubtful. Like, I'm a 9.5 personally... if my friend girl is a 7.5 or above, you're gonna be thinking about hitting the skins even though it isn't happening (I'm married and am faithful).

Also, I'm thinking GOOD friends. As in you can have dinner, just the two of you. I have plenty of wife friends that I hang with when they're husbands are around or they're hanging with my wife. I don't think that's what we're talking about here though.

asujbl · 10-03-2023, 12:00 PM

So many sexual dynamos in this thread. Why are you collecting cards? Go get laid nerds

ksemmel · 10-03-2023, 12:03 PM

I have two close female friends, one much closer to the other. Have known both of them for over 10 years. The latter is married and her husband has become one of my closest friends. I was in their wedding and the husband will be in mine. The other has been one of my best friends for the last 10 years. She is engaged, and I have been out golfing with her fiancé. There has never been anything there other than friends, and we have hung out many times one on one when we were both single and it was never a thought.

I don't even know how this is a discussion.

It’s not

Us normal folks can be normal

These other dudes are so good looking apparently that they have to bang everything

They can’t just grab a beer or go to a concert without it ending up in the sheets

While reading this thread, I heard softly in the background, over and over.

“All I want is bang, bang, bang”

Some cheaply animated song from early YouTube, if I remember correctly.

maybe?

mike1498 · 10-03-2023, 12:43 PM

I actually had this discussion recently.

The answer is absolutely not if you are a man.

The answer is possibly as a female.

Personally I've never seen a man friendzone a woman. And I truthfully think there is a reason for this.

Group X - Bang Bang Bang.

Back when flash videos were the hotness. Still on YouTube and Nick nailed it perfectly with that reference.
