    I recently offered a man my friendship. He totally turned me down and said he couldn't. So in my experience, no it can't be done.

    Yes and no. Depends on the guy and his maturity level.

    Had guy friends in college and nothing serious came of it. We all just studied and met after classes to hang out. After college, guys tried to get serious. I ended up being stalked by a dude so I no longer look for guy friends.

    I'm going to make the assumption that it has something to do with life being too short and female "friends" is not seen by some as realistic (or a mature thing to do) when people get older.

    Right??? One of my best friends is a guy. We hang out a lot because our kids are friends, and neither of us work, so we pretty much see each other every day, most of the time without our spouses. His wife is one of my best friends too and she was commenting the other day about how alike he and I are. I just feel happier after hanging out with him because he's just good fun, and I do have more in common interests-wise with him as well. It's totally different than with the girls.

    Also I haven't met many women who are geeks like I am.


    When I was younger, I had mostly guy friends too, but yeah, it turns out that most of them wanted more, so it didn't last. I think it does have something to do with maturity level, where you are in your life, and if you're attracted to the person or not.. probably much easier when neither of you are. I wasn't attracted to my guy friends at all.

    I feel no attraction to 1s and 0s

    What about a solid 6 on good days?

    I'm more interested in how he feels about a weak 3.

    1s and 0s are just fancy talk for anything you see on an electronic device

    but i will admit I'm weak for 3's and 7's

    You should start a thread where you honestly rate your friends list

    If anyone is going to try to rate me on the same scale as you they should just delete me right now :lol:

    LOL. Strongly disagree, Sweet-D. You're one of my extra most bestest friends on here. You'd definitely get a high score.

    I know lots of girls, that are friends, that I want nothing more from. I have a pretty girl that I love and want to spend my life with, the others are friends, so yes you can meet guys that just want to be friends.

    Exactly! I honestly think I'd cry if I didn't have guy friends. Which is probably why I have more guy friends than girl friends lol
