    I honestly don't believe men and women can be friends without sex entering into it. I'm sure a lot of women believe that, but trust me at one point that male friend has thought about having sex with you.

    Depends how attractive the woman is though.

    Why would you be friends with ugly chicks?!

    Then I feel really sorry for you. If you can't get the idea of shagging all your mates out of your head, then it must really hamper your ability to have fulfilling mature relationships with anyone.

    :think: So you don't believe that, for example, your parents can be friends with another couple without them all secretly wanting to be part of some swingers set?

    That's what girlfriends are for. As a guy, no matter what woman you're "friends" with, the thought of shagging her is going to enter your head!

    No, my parents are human beings, so they will think of shagging the other couple - it's human nature to think things, even want things, but not to ACT on things.

    Well, there's a topic of conversation for next time they have you round for Sunday lunch. Watch out for your dad's wandering eye though...he's thinking about shagging your girlfriend as he pours the gravy.

    If he were alive I'm sure it would have crossed his mind.

    I really don't think this is the case. I was actually propositioned by a female friend in my younger days and turned her down. I wasn't interested. Not all mixed sex relationships are because the guy wants sex with the girl.
    Me too (sort of - long story!).

    This whole "men can't be friends with attractive women without wanting to sh*g them" is the sort of bullsh*t put about by idiot men who have their brains in their trousers and assume that just because they think like that, all other men must think the same way. Err... no we don't. And idiot women who believe them, or know men like that and reckon "they're all the same".

    I have plenty of female friends. Most of them i've met through dance where we've had intimate contact from dancing with eachother and its never crossed my mind to have sex with them!

    The only 1 i have had sex with is my dance partner and that is because she was an ex girlfriend. Men can be friends with women without having sex. Some men, like me, just get on better with women :D
