| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 8/15/2005 3:10:29 PM | Hello! making friends is fun. Most straight guys shy away from a gay guys like me. I guess they are afraid of something happening......(their part) But, if the straight guy would give me a chance, they'd find very possibly i'd make one heck of a friend. Most of my best friends from my past-were straight and we had a ball! We'd drink, go camping, fishing, play poker, etc.
But, guys don't smoke or drink or do those other things any more. Most straight guys now a days, spend as much time in front of a mirror as women do. Most are vain and arrogant and most straight guys come across as MORE GAY than normal-boring gay guys like myself.
My best friend Daryl was a straight as they came. But, every night we'd drink and roam the neighborhood laughing, and talking and during the day, we'd go to parks and fish, rainy days we'd play games and poker. At parties we'd tease his wife, and all her friends, etc. All us guys just hung out and were ourselves. I miss those days. What the hell has happened to the people now-a-days? Where are the people who just want friendships? Why is everything about the Orgasm? Why Is it, with people-if they wouldn't consider having sex with you...then, why can't that at least talk to you and maybe possibly become a friend? Is sex, the only thing people are looking for?

continued mandatory time spent together creates a bond with those of a similiar mindset as yourself which is hard to dupilicate through forums and online interaction.
If more people would show up to the group POF get-togethers, I'm sure lasting friendships would be more prominent. I have made a lot of new friends by attending the POF outings. Check out the threads about future get togethers....one we're trying to plan is a Halloween party, posted by Babysis (she is now BabysisAgain, actually).  | |

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 9/22/2005 4:34:49 AM | I know that I am here specifically to make friends. I work from home and I'm single, so I don't get out much. I do have a close circle of very good friends, but because of my situation I don't have the opportunity to socialize much and meet new people. I figured this would be a good opportunity. I have chatted with a few folks on here and, though I haven't met anyone in person just yet, I welcome the opportunity. I'll be looking for get-togethers. As far as male/female friendships; they do exist. I have some very good female friends with whom I have no romantic history--a couple of them are married, but I am friends with their husbands, as well. | |

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 9/28/2005 12:11:39 AM | I am also. It would be nice to find local people to socialize with who aren't tied down in relationships. Most people I know are married or dating, so it limits available activities. Bars are atrocious environments to meet interesting people. Adding copious amounts of liquor reduces intellectual interaction to nil. Nothing's more unappealing than a boozed-up stranger hanging over you. I'm not one to approach strangers either. Shyness limits me.
Online profiles allow a protective layer, where one can screen for compatibilities through controlled interaction. | |

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 9/29/2005 1:04:42 AM | You can never have enough friends. I welcome it. I am straight, but I do have gay friends. It doesn't bother me when I recieve a email from a guy. It does bother me when they know I'm straight and want to try to convert me. Not gonna happen. As friendship goes. I enjoy meeting a wide variety of people.
Here I'll start: little about me Got screwed over by my exwife Just starting to date after a year alone Straight Pilot Golf Fishing Can't cook worth anything, but love paula dean. Enjoy a good drink

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 10/4/2005 4:16:09 PM | Id be glad to make friends of both sexes on here, and the forums are actually pretty cool for that. Thing is, if I met an online buddy from POF in real life he'd have to PROMISE me not to tell anyone we met on a dating site!!!*

*...cause people would assume I was bi or gay, wouldnt they? | |

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 10/4/2005 4:55:19 PM | | Could also be that the friendships we remember in our past have changed drastically today. A handshake to most people (especially around here) doesn't mean much more than them trying to find out if you're holding something so they can scam it away. Oh, and don't even get me started on what love means anymore. Maybe we're all becoming our parents with the "back in my day" attitude. Personally, I have few friends because like love, I don't go throwing it around to just anybody. As for the becoming like my parents, hang on, I have to go yell at the chicks upstairs to turn down that damn music, then I'll be back. | |

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 7/6/2006 1:31:21 PM | | Friends, you can never have to many. It is always nice to have friends. I am up for making male and female friends even though I have always had more male friends than females. Could be because of the tomboy side in me. I always find it nice to have a friend, one you can talk to, do things with or just go different places with and you dont have to worry about one being jealous or nothing like that as if you were in an actual relationship. After all, most relationships start out as friends. | |

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 8/12/2006 8:39:21 AM | | I HAD THE SAME QUESTION. IT SEEMS LIKE NOW A DAYS EVEN TO BE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE YOU HAVE TO PASS SOME KIND OF "ARE YOU FINE OR GOOD LOOKING ENOUGH TEST". PEOPLE ARE VERY SHALLOW. AND IF THEY SAY THEY WANT TO BE FRIENDS THEY WANT TO SLEEP WITH YOU. WHAT HAPPENED TO TRUE FRIENDSHIPS? | |

| anyone looking for a friend, male female, just friendship? Posted: 11/23/2006 3:43:08 PM | | I've made many new friends through the POF get togethers. I've even become an organizer of sorts for some of these events. With me, it's not all about relationships and/or sex although either would be nice. *S* But, yes, I love making friends through this site. | |
