Uh, Mr. Panty Dropper? Who is that?! Since I'm single, I have a lot of male friends. Many of my closest friends are men.... they take care of me and care for me in ways a lot of my women friends don't, which is sad. I just read that and it sounded a little... suspicious... but I think you know what I mean. I've never asked any of them if they had.... thoughts... and I never will. And they know that there isn't a snowball's chance in hell for *that*. I guess I'm saying, I don't care if they want nookie. "That ain't NEVER gonna happen." It's like tdallasw was talking about, too.... I am a college football fan, so we do a lot of that together. I like Bruce Lee movies. ;D But I'm not a mannish woman. HEE So what was my point?  Well, I guess I'm saying as a single mom, I need my male friends and they watch my back. I agree.....a friendship first is the best way to start anything. But I've been friends with many of these men for so long (10 years + for most of them) that we all know it's not going anywhere else. But I'm not going to say that's never crossed their minds, because I still don't know how a man's mind works. (And I don't want to even guess!) But new friends...... ;D ;D ;D I won't say no to new friends.  Wait a minute.... *that* sounded wrong, too..... I'm shutting up now.  Peach Women have the same things on their mind,they just don't admit it !  |

Women have the same things on their mind,they just don't admit it ! Ah yes...but the difference is the percentage of time we *have* these things on our minds, vs. the amount of time men have it on their minds. Peach |

Well Peachy, I don't want to sound like your mama, but it sounds like you've got some guy friends who are pretty decent dudes. Maybe you should entertain the idea of getting closer to them. ............ But then again, if you're happy being single, go ahead, do your thing!  Well, I'm not sure if I'm willing to *not* be single, if ya get my drift. But they are a great bunch of guys. Yesterday, I had two nice men putting in my air conditioner for me.... I rewarded them with beer. ;D (That worked since both are fans of this stuff.) We help each other out.... they lift heavy things, I make them a peanut butter pie. (Don't assault me for old-fashioned sexism here.)  Peach |

Rich.......Although he doesn't have any money, he pretends to be a millionare so he can meet a rich girl and use her for HER money.

I think it's possible for male-female relationships to remain friendships. A lot of men and women are afraid to take friendships to the next level because they don't want to complicate the friendship. One party may be attracted to the other, but they still may be able to subsume their libido in the name of friendship.

As usual........very well said Nish. It works both ways. As long as it is made perfectly clear to both parties where this relationship is then you shouldn't have a problem. But if you leave the door open an man is coming through for sure! And it's so much easier when he doesn't have to knock first! ;D
But in reality it is easier to maintain that kind of relationship as you get older and understand what life is really about as opposed to what you think it is about. I had trouble with it when I was younger because i felt like i had something to prove. AAAAAAAAAand I didn't have time to be being freinds with women when there was so much work to do! ;D. We as men don't want to leave any stone unturned when we are young. I can't speak for all men but I would have felt like I missed out on something if I didn't do all the things I wanted to do when I was in a position to do them. And you would hope he learned all those lessons before you choose him as the ONE.

Let me expound upon my point a little more. I think women are perfectly capable of being friends with a man without EVER having any sexual feelings toward him. Men on the other hand, no. If a single man is around a single woman and he's NOT having feelings for her ........... well, it means he's not into women. |

I would guess there are thoughts, however fleeting they may be. I think because I'm so adamant about the "friendship status," I don't hear about any other thoughts. My guy friends know I would kick their butts. ;D Peach |

Oh, you better not let them know you can kick their butt. They'd never come out and admit that, but that drives men wild. I mean look at Laura Croft, Trinity from the Matrix, that whole "GLOW" ladies' wresteling organization. Men are weird.  |

Well..... uh..... to be honest, figuratively speaking I would kick their butts. But not literally. Peach ;D |
