    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.

    9/10 women can't get their ankles behind their heads.

    Some questions: Has anyone ever told you that your innuendos make you sound like a 12 year old? Is Nuts your idea of a quality newspaper? Do women like you when they're not drunk?

    To the OP - since meeting my OH some of our friendships with the opposite sex have stayed, others have fallen by the wayside as they haven't clicked with our partner. Same is true of same-sex friends. OH and I agreed that if ever one of us was concerned by a friendship that the other is in, we'd put our relationship before it, no matter how close that friend, or how irrational the fears. It helps that neither of us is prone to jealousy though.

    Unfortunately, ALL of the male friends (straight ones anyway) I've had in the past have either tried it on or expressed "feelings" for me at some point... :o

    They soon gave up when they found out I wasn't single any more.

    Took them a while, but they got the hint eventually (after I changed my number). :rolleyes: :D

    My mate has recently had a few experiences as well...she was 'friends' with a couple of blokes recently but once they were put straight that she only wanted friendship they did one!!
