Oh fun! We’re doing this question again?

Yep, good friends, no lust, no weird friends with benefit questions needed …
and… I’m off to play with one of the guys right now ‘cause he’s just damn cool and my life’s better for having good friends like him in it.

I cannot believe ppl still think you're weird if you're friends with the opposite sex.
How many gal pals do you think I have that enjoy dismantling an engine?

queenr I'm going crazy with this thread!

I know what you mean!

And actually my father taught me about cars, I probly know more than a lot of men out there, but I suppose that makes me a closet lesbian now lol...
Just chalk it up to people that have closed minds, that dont have enough life experiences, or are just have too many hang ups!
And like I said - if having male friends that our relationships are purely brother/sister and no sex involved makes me a freak

viva la freaks!

I've learnt from my mistakes and now I'm a big follower of the "never mix sex and friends" saying. I've lost a few good friends after having sex and both of us feeling somewhat weirded out by it, the sexual tension beforehand was good and kept things to a level but we both agreed it shouldn't have happened.

I think that it is true... However, I have had friendships with the opposite sex end because they couldn't handle only being friends with me... Your ex shouldn't have made you feel bad about it... If anything he could have reassured you and that would have been the end of it... Good thing he's your ex ;)

sam Thanks for that post, it really made me feel good to see someone admit they made a mistake and learned from it. The fact that you're a man has no bearing on it. It's a shame that you lost a friendship over it, but what a guy to be able to say I wished it wouldn't have happened and move on. Hey, we're all human, we have needs and sometimes we do make mistakes, I know I make plenty and I own my own behavior. that's what adults do. You're a good honest man, I hope you find someone who appreciates that.

I'm all for having friends of the opposite sex. If you folks wanna start a separate thread on this please feel free. But the OP was upset that her BF was "hanging out" with a bunch of other women, when he was dating her. I see a distinction.

Thank you STILLONMYOWN, not just for your answer, but for understanding the question to begin with!

I've been friends with a guy for over 10 years, and we do not have sex, and we talk on the phone almost daily, and hangout quite often.

I have several females who are good friends. Several of their boyfriends are extreamly jealous about it, but OH well. That just shows them what kind of guy they are with.

@aquarium:

"hanging out" carries a broad definition. She's originally didn't define what she meant
by it, suggesting to us it her boyfriend was "hanging out" w/ strange girls he met at a strip club (that would have been unacceptable). She's watered down the significance of his friends, initially.

but later she states:


but are you in a relationship with a man and hanging out with your male friends?
Is he suppose to be okay with it?

...in response to a female. In my perspective she seem's very insecure.

OP said:

at times he would go out with anywhere from two to six women. An when I had a problem with it he made me feel like a fool...what do you think?

I think its a good thing you dumped him OP.

6 WOMEN????!?? OMG!!...Even in my wildest day's I could only handle 1. Was his
name Hugh Hefner??...or did she just forget to mention that it was a party
he was at that had like....20 guys and 6 women? Sorry, she's not giving us
enough info, so this thread developed a life of it's own. And she doesn't want to
come back to clarify for some reason - I just can't imagine why.

Any guy here date more than 1 woman at one time? LOL

aquarium, if it makes no sense to me, it didn't happen.

Ok cajunsweetie....you're a little hottie and you're wrong. There is a great way to prove it too. get a couple of your "brothers" who could never think of you that way together and drink a bunch of beer with them. Then put on some porn. Then pull out a camcorder and tell them you want them to make a porno with you. It's your fantasy and you want them to take turns.

If you tried this at home on Christmas with your actual brothers they would probably have you medicated and put you into therapy.

If you try this with your "brothers" they will not hesitate to oblige you!
