<p>to cherrybarry:</p>
<p>you serious man? i dont know any hs girls that hot, i'll stick with the classics ty</p>
<p>to post #80.
exactly. the bottom line is that guys are whores who will IDEALIZE any girl he is with on a consistent basis</p>
<p>sounds like someone was pinched on the ass by a friend.^</p>
<p>Ha! None of my guy friends were that dumb, ozym. I'd have kicked their asses for pulling that kind of crap, and they knew it! </p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>meh i like variety...i've exhausted the classics already</p>
<p>And I wasn't aware that a girl had to be extremely attractive for guys to want to fool around with them. It seems to me that a lot of guys will take whoever's available at the time.</p>
<p>i more wonder if a girl and guy can be best friends without a boyfriend/girlfriend getting jealous.</p>
<p>I have a boyfriend and my three best friends are guys.</p>
<p>Admittedly, one is gay, one just got dumped by his girlfriend for liking me, and one got so frustrated with having liked me for a year while I was taken that he stopped talking to me.</p>
<p>But I still think it's possible!!! :-D</p>
<p>Even if one likes the other, I think they can still be friends if everyone understands that no hookups are allowed unless they actually start dating, and that they probably won't (in my case).</p>
<p>(And my boyfriend still isn't jealous, somehow.)</p>
<p>not really...u'd have to be a masochist to like someone and remain just friends</p>
<p>wow, as a guy i feel so unjustly shallow reading these posts. kinda like when the therapist keeps saying "your angry" until you may very well be angry.</p>
<p>Well, one of my best friends is a guy, and I do not have a boyfriend. At least not yet. But maybe he actually is my boyfriend and I am in denial. Or I could be utterly confused.</p>
<p>Yes, I have a guy friend but not a boyfriend. :-)</p>
<p>I get close to my female friends, only to learn their weaknesses. And then exploit them.</p>
<p>Before long they are chopped and stored in niftly locations spread around my house and under my porch.</p>
<p>It's possible. I'm best friends with a guy and we never start a "relationship" or even think about really "liking" each other that way. We simply ignored a bunch of rumors spread by nosy people in school about us going out.</p>
<p>the only time this really works is if the girl is ugly.</p>
<p>I think most guys make friends with girls with the intention of there being possibly something more to come out of it. If you end up spending a lot of time with the person you fall for them and then the girl usually doesnt want to be more than friends so you're screwed. There's that 72 hour rule I think.</p>
<p>72 hours to make an impression and make it so you're either in the girl's eyes a friend or you have potential to be more than a friend. After these 72 hours you're pretty screwed. Some people have been able to break this 72 hour rule but its extremely difficult.</p>
<p>The case Dragon Reborn is talking about is generally female denial. Unless the girl in the friendship is pretty ugly or has something horrible about her (drug habits, likes to play around with different guys) then the guy most likely has a crush on the girl but he doesnt have the balls to admit it.</p>
<p>NO.</p>
<p>See: When Harry Met Sally</p>
<p>And we could also use Freud theory to prove that girls and guys can't be "best friends" in the way guys and guys or girls and girls can be. That is everything we do is determined by sex. When your guy friend comes to see you, and you're all dirty and smelly; do you try to clean up fast to receive him, or do you just don't care? Is your reaction different when your visiting friend is a girl? Vice versa. That will give you a pretty good indication whether s/he is just your "best friend".</p>
<p>I think that if a guy is friends with a girl, but they hook up from time to time, they are not friends. The guy does not hang out with the girl because he enjoys her conversation and witty outlook on life. He hangs out with her with the hope of getting it again, soon. That is, unfortunately, the way the world works.</p>
<p>It really depends from situation to situation. I think it is possible to be "just" friends.</p>
<p>I was telling some of my friends about this thread last night. One of them (a 20 year-old guy) commented that the true test of whether a guy considers a girl a real friend or whether he just wants to bang her, is whether he still treats her with the same level of friendship when he's getting laid regularly with someone else.</p>
<p>It depends on the situation.</p>
<p>yeah i think a guy and a girl can be best friends i have a guyb est friend for 3 years and we have not wanted to have sex yet i have ahad a crush on him and i told him and we worked it out and we talk about everything and we are both attractive and mature people yet he helped me through a rough time in my life and i helped him and we have a great connection maybe it just my luck that ican keep a realtionship with a guy onto a only friends bases</p>
