That's exactly what I think myself when those women make comments like that.

Guy with all girl friends typically says, "Guys are assholes" and the end of that sentence he leaves off is "And no one taught me how to choose the time and place to be an asshole and stick up for myself so I sit around and pout around women all day".

Yeah, Wilbury. I think of that as a classic NG in denial.

Really? Really? Come on now. WTF!

You know, the closest I've come to this is having a woman as a friend who I was attracted to but who was unavailable by marriage or something and we talked about stuff going on in BOTH our lives. And I benefited greatly. And now that I think about it it happened only once.

Well, there is that, but I think I see another red flag: she hasn't cleaned out her phone in 25 years.

I think a male/female relationship is possible though somewhat rare and probably more so if the male is a NG - that whole scarcity thing. So I like the comment up top of this thread, that an IM can be friends with whom ever he chooses.

I have a female friend that I shared many conversation during outings when we were dating years, more than twenty years ago. While I am sure I could have had her sexually, I truly had no interest in her sexual. She ended up marrying my best bud, though the story goes that he expressed his interest in her to me, and I told him not to unless he was serious. He was not in a good place at the time. A year later they connected. Today me and his wife are not anywhere near as close. I attribute this to keeping my best bud as a friend and not having that dynamic of their marriage at play. She does every now and again reminisce or suggest we get a drink sometime. My bud would be cool with it. And it would be enjoyable. But I just do not really have the desire.

This is perhaps the only instance I can think of in my life.

I had something like that once as well. In my case she wasn't married, but I thought we could remain friends b/c I wasn't really attracted to her + I was dating other girls at time. I enjoyed our conversations, and her perspective on things. Then...we had a few beers one night, and I ended up on top of her. That killed the "friendship."

See, that sh1t just hangs out in your subconscious and when the opportunity presents itself, human nature takes over.

Exactly why there is no such thing as a man and woman being truely platonic...

[reborn]

Oh my god.... I remember a few years back, before I found this site, I used to boast, BOAST goddamit, about having female friends.

Would it have been better if YOU had been on your back and her on on top?

Ditto here, man. I even proudly said how I'd rather be a girl's friend than her boyfriend. It was "deeper."

I'm going to go slam my head in the car door.

Actually Dr. Glover talks about this. He calls these women "sniffers" because they always have other men sniffing around. He said if you are into a woman that stays in touch with her old boyfriends, and has lots of guy friends, and few girlfriends that you should watch out.

He says it is kind of sick.

I have been the sniffer, and it is not a good thing. Amazing how unconscious I was.

Yeah. When I heard this, I thought it was kinda backward. I mean, these women aren't the "sniffers." They're the "snifees."

Right?

Yeah I was thinking "sniffer magnet". The guys sniffin' around for what they can get are sniffers, IMO.
