    Loftus I think its time to let the wind up merchants go, they'll be loving the storm they're causing on here, don't play their game as tempting as it is.

    Yep you're probably right. Signing off.
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    In a relationship no you're right, I probably wouldn't go away just with my friend because it wouldn't be fair to my girlfriend but that still doesn't mean that I want to sleep with my friend. It's just out of respect for my relationship. My girlfriend is also friends with my friend, we socialise in the same circle, there's no insecurity there.
    And before you come back with the argument that if there's nothing to worry about why wouldn't I do it, it's simple - people behave differently inside and out of relationships - nothing more sinister than that.

    Yes. And this behaviour is absolutely because women have known, that historically, men put in positions of closeness with a female, 9 times out of 10 the female will have her ankles behind her head.

    We've even seen females writing earlier in the thread that they had a group of friends, used to all do stuff together, hang out, sleep overs, etc etc. Guess what? She said they were "friends with benefits". Basically, the guys spit-roasted her. Geez, great friends. I bet even though she's still in contact with them, their friendship is nothing like it used to be.

    You even said yourself that you have some female friends with which you "would like to get more acquanited". Even you think with your d*ck from time to time. You just won't admit it.

    Yes, we know you're different. But even your partner sees sense in what I'm saying - hence she would be uncomfortable with it.

    Nothing wrong with it. This thread is just about men, in general, and their feelings towards women.

    Erm, I started it, and it was supposed to be about friendships between people of different genders and the impact these friendships may or may not have on romantic relationships.

    Very little I do or say is exclusively 'about men'.

    Of course not. He's a gay sap who is only a relationship with me to fool the world into thinking he's a real man.

    See When Harry met Sally. Yes men and women can be just friends, without either of them wanting more, but only if they are both in committed relationships.


    :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Have we both seen the same film? I am sure it proves that they cant as they tried very hard but could not stop themselves??
    You have the right to remain silent.Anything you do say will be misquoted and then used against you ;)

    Real men can be gay, as long as they don't try and pretend they don't want to sh*g anything with a pulse. I have many gay friends, none of whom spout the rubbish some straight men have done on this thread in fact they are the most honest about male sexuality. Mainly because when you are trying to get a man into bed you dont have to sugar coat the truth.

    How many times have you men seen one of your mates hanging around with a new woman? When you then get a chance to speak to him without her there the conversation goes something like this;

    "Who's that new piece you're banging?"

    "Who?"

    "You know, that little brunette thing I saw you with on the weekend. The one with the titties".

    "Oh her. Nah we're just friends. She's really cool..."

    "Oh, I bet you'd have a rip on her though wouldn't you?"

    "Nooooo we just hang out together. We get on really well."

    Anyway, after a bit of banter, he still fails to convince you that he doesn't want a ride. Sure enough, 2 weeks later you see them holding hands in the pub.
