Can Men and Women Just Be Friends?

  1. It’s cool if you think it’s normal. I just don’t see why you would go tit for tat with me if you think there’s nothing wrong with it.

    This question gets thrown around and the answer is, of course, yes! If the answer is no for you, then there's something interesting going on psychologically because we should be able to rein in our sexuality enough to just see a person rather than what genitalia they have.

    As a bisexual male, can I not have any friends whatsoever because there might be an attraction there?

    PMO'ing teaches us to objectify women (and/or men) and treat them like sexual objects. Women are people just like us males, and we can actually hang out with them without boning... shock! You can have friends of any sex/gender and not be sexual with them. If you're in a relationship that shouldn't mean you cut yourself off from friends because you worry you might be unfaithful - again, if I'm in a relationship, as a bisexual male would my partner never want me to interact with anyone ever again incase I get romantically involved? Partners and people need to work on their control so that they can ensure that they wouldn't be unfaithful even if it was presented to them on a plate.
     
  3. You sadly have never had the awesome experience of having a lesbian as one of your best friends. I have one and she’s definitely considered “bro” status in my book, or as I like to call her brosette.

  5. Wanting to fuck your friends has no correlation to a substance abuse chemical addiction. One is excersising self control, the other is a hardcore heavy addiction. Nice comparison.

    Just wanted to clarify this by saying, usually when a guy asks a question like this they feel an inclination or pull to their female friend.

    I think I'm going to call my "friend" now and see if she wants to hang out later. Yes, just hang out.

    Some people here act like friends don't fuck. They can and do. Apparently, often.

    Yes, but you are failing to recognize that some men(like myself) have desires to have sex with a lot of women... You can say "you could easily control that" because you don't understand it, just like I don't understand a cocaine addiction so I won't cast a judgement. I literally mentioned how I dealt with it in earlier comments and I was told I had a personal problem. I literally said "I stay loyal to my GF by not having other women around to tempt me" just like a porn addict would erase triggering material. I try to improve things all the time and take the measures that I need to... however drastic and asinine they sound to some people. That's my experience and my course of action... Some people say coming to a site like this is drastic and or silly(people have said it before to me) but whatever idc.

    It is an interesting question....I think YES
     
  12. The problem is you “alpha males” think it’s pussy to talk to a female for any other reason besides getting in their pants. You believe it’s what your “programmed to do” and it’s “normal”. And to that I say you are a bunch of animals.

    It’s like being a human being talking to a fellow human being is “lame” or “not man enough”.

    What is it about women that is so alien that you can’t have enough common ground to be FRIENDS or ACQUAINTANCES.

    5/10 or more the girl you’re drooling over has no interest in you and you’re just being a creep by secretly wanting to bang her. You can never just let it be and develop a mutual non interest in someone. You HAVE to want to fuck them. Gtfo

    Is it really that out of the blue just to treat one woman in your life like a normal person or any other Joe Shmoe

    You guys are obsessed with fucking. Just admit lol
    Stop running around in circles saying “well some people think it’s normal” “I’m not the only one”
    Lmao this is pathetic
    Yeah bro chasing pussy your whole life wondering why you’re miserable is so cool and alpha

    Having a compulsive porn addiction is animal behavior. Wanting to screw anything that walks is also animal behavior.

    You guys sound like the type of guys to go on dates with some one you have no interest in their personality just cause they have a big ass. Then after it’s done you regret it and feel like shit.

  14. I'm not "failing to recognize" anything. I have no issue with you, an individual, saying that for the sake of avoiding temptation, you find it healthier to not have female friends. If that's what you need to do, cool, do it. I dont think it's the mark of a very healthy individual, though, for that to be necessary. Just like avoiding all sexual triggers is not the mark of a healthy individual. It's the mark of someone who has some serious issues with addiction and a messed up mindset, which most all of us have here.

    Heres the problem here. You keep bringing up things that are wrong about me, regarding porn addiction, as if I'm being hypocritical. But I'm not, at all, because I fully recognize that I'm messed up and not healthy in the sexuality department, and I'm trying to fix that problem. The difference is that you dont seem to see your mindset about women and wanting to have sex with anything that walks and has a vagina as a problem.

    If you were saying to me that due to your problematic view of women as sex objects, you find it best to temporarily guard yourself by not having female friends as temptations, until you can work on yourself and better yourself and become healthier in that department, then I would have zero issue with that. But that's not what you're saying, so it's not comparable to my porn addiction. I'm not over here saying "well I love porn and people watch porn all the time. Stop denying reality. Everybody watches porn, it's how we are wired and its totally natural and healthy." If I were saying all if that, then that would be an equal comparison. But then again, if that was my mindset, I wouldnt be here.

    LOL, c'mon bro seriously?
     
  16. “Normal”
     
  17. It's exactly the same justification most people use for porn. It seems odd to me that someone can recognize that one of those is wrong and be completely blind to the other.

    Again here we go with more judgement... Everyone has their own issues. I could say the same thing for you "I can't stop watching porn" LOL really? Seriously? That's really a problem for you?.... Would I say that? Nah, everyone has problems of their own and they deal with it in their own ways.

  20. It’s not that people can’t have their own issues. It’s that people don’t even think their issue is an issue and deny it when others point it out.
