The only friends I talk to lately are guys.

[iheartmusic043]

Majority of my friends are guys simply because we share an inappropriate sense of humor and love of good music.

Zero. The only time I "hang out" with people is at work, and they're all dudes.

Harry - "Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her."
Sally - "So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?"
Harry - "No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too."
Sally - "What if THEY don't want to have sex with YOU?"
Harry - "Doesn't matter because the sex thing is already out there so the friendship is ultimately doomed and that is the end of the story."

Way too many. Which leads to too many friend zones. Which significantly decreases my chances of getting laid.

I'm gay and I love having lots of guy friends but almost all of them have told me they like me and would date me if I wasn't gay. I don't find it awkward, though, cause none of them cross the line.

And before I get some comment about leading them on, no. I make great efforts to make sure they know exactly their role in my life.

I always wonder what this is like. I have one group of friends which is almost completely male apart from like 2 girls. I know that a lot of the guys want to do unspeakable things to these 2 girls, and they must know about it. Must be so awkward.

I was in this situation in high school - our core group of friends was me, one other girl, and six guys. One of those guys was dating the other girl, so I was the only available girl in the group. I ended up dating three of the guys throughout high school, but they all admitted they had crushes on me no matter who I was dating at the time. I knew it, which is why I decided to give them a shot. Turns out it didn't work out with any of them.

I stayed friends with the guy who was dating the other girl. We actually live together, now. He and I were best friends for the past 2-3 years, we'd do everything together. A lot of people assumed we were dating, but we didn't. Friends, and my mom, always told me he was in love with me but I always brushed it off. Turns out, he was. It made for a really awkward few months of him trying to be with me, and I just wasn't attracted to him.

It really sucks. Now he's stopped hanging out with me as much (yeah, even though we live together.) We're still best friends, but we used to go to local bars to watch sports games or go see a movie the two of us both wanted to see, but we don't do that any more and it's a little disheartening to realize he only did those things because he wanted a relationship and once he realized he wasn't going to get it, he stopped hanging out as much.

This was long. Sorry.

Regular season hockey is alright, but playoff hockey is fucking awesome. Flyers/Penguins game yesterday was insane. I'd gladly share a beer with you.

It's real easy for me to be friends with girls that are in committed relationships. We establish our intentions and boundaries right off the bat so neither person has to worry about "possibilities." I just put them in sister zone and it's all good. Single one's, not so much so I generally don't go there or at least keep a lot of distance. I did it one time and I developed feelings and it was a bad experience to say the least.

Girls and guys can be friends but the nature of the relationship has to be communicated directly. If your a girl and act cutesy just for attention, your being an asshole and if your a guy and your pursuing a girl even though she says she doesn't want to date you, your being an asshole.

[MyFriendsOver]

Not counting friends' girlfriends / wives and friends of my fiancee, zero.

[disasterjazz]

I get along better with girls than I do guys, or at least it's easier for me to relate to them. The whole gay thing might have something to do with it, but then, there are lots of straight guys who are the same way.

[JoshSalas]

Looks like the majority of the people in here, including myself, have mostly friends of the opposite gender. A lot of the guys at my school try to be 'bros' and are just annoying. I have some quality guy friends from home, but most of the friends I've made throughout university are girls.

I wouldn't say I want to bang any of my close friends at all. I mean, some of them are very attractive, but once a friendship develops that sort of attraction usually fizzles out for me. Now they're just my friends, that happen to be pretty.

[rushour144]

Yea my closest friends are girls. Not to say I don't have guy friends, but my major in school and a lot of the honor societies I am in are comprised of mainly chicks haha...and smart chicks are a lot easier to talk to than smart dudes! You can actually have a good conversation rather than having to defend yourself for hours on end haha! Plus it's fun to hang with smokin hot chicks haha!

[Xuut]

I have one super close male friend and give or take about four other male friends. This works because we're bunch of awkward teens who even if we had a crush on each other, clearly don't have the balls (ironic, because I'm the only one who doesn't and the only one who would) ask each other out.

I'd have more, but half the time most of them treat me like a dude and tell me about how hot girls are so in their eyes, I'm not even a girl. I don't think the fact that I threaten to kill them all frequently (often we talk about fights to the death, I always win those arguments) helps the girl bit.
