Do "all men" secretly have a thing for their "female friend"

I was just wondering about this... I know some people might know how to keep it platonic but then some people are just stupid.

I once knew this guy who would have "female friends" and obviously cross the line and to him they were always "just friends" :laugh: He would comment on their pictures (all of them :huh: ) and act as if he was pretty much begging to get a response from them. He was also was the type that when he was single... he would be talking/flirting with them as if he were dating them... It didn't matter what the friend was about... no morals or anything but he would always be like this towards them. And he wondered why he was single... any decent girl could easily sense all of this and not take him serious.
People choose the company they keep but sometimes this makes me upset. When guys say "she's just a friend" it just seems like such bullsh!t.
Given not all men are like this... some are respectful :indifferent:

I was reading the misc forums on bodybuilding.com lol and there were alot of forums dedicated to guys who would "smash" their female friend. 99% of them didn't care if she had 3 kids-3 different dads or if she did crack lol

I find it really uncomfortable. I don't keep male friends like that around why would I even considering being with a man who had female friends like that...
your thoughts? lol

    I have several female friends who are nothing more than just friends. When I was single, I would still "smash" a few of them if the opportunity presented itself but in the end we were just friends.

    Online - I think that they can be just friends, though obviously it isn't always the case.

    Offline - I notice most guy friends stop talking to me once they get a girlfriend, then start up again once they're broken up. =/

    It's all gentetic predsiposition. We can ahve femal friends without "smashing" them, but if the opportunity arises, we will jump on it. We are just cavemen with better wheels.

    my bff of life is male. he has been there thru thick n thin with me, since i was 13 and im now 28. BUT...there was a big huge love confession about 8 yrs into our freindship. we stopped talking for a long time after that. apparently everyone was privy to this info, but i was completly blind to it. we started talking again after almost one year...we know we're only friends...we kissed once when we were 15, lol, its neve gone any further than that, and we've even slept in the same bed together 100x. im sure if i handed it out to him he would take it, but that aint gonna happen, lol. we're just besties for life :D

    It is pretty much a fact that men do not have true female friends unless they are somewhat attracted to them or intrigued by them. Guys often deny it, but they inevitably develop feelings.

    No...if you showed up naked, he'd close the door on your face.

    It isn't. He is masking it, making light of it.

    I - umm mostly just have friends, don't really care about age or gender... just whether I like them and we can have a conversation. My partners are in a different category. I've had sexual hassle from both men and women and dislike it of course but it's been a question of where to draw a line. My male friends (gay and straight) and my female friends (gay and straight) are all fantastic - that's why I'm friends with them.

    I also like having seriously good real life friends aged between 22 and 84.

    I am friends with all the females at the crossfit box I go to, we joke, we hang out, we do the hug hello and goodbye, and I am always a gentleman about it, but if one of them gave me the green light, it would be on like donkey kong.. you know, if I wasn't married.

    He saw me naked once, it was bad timing. Nothing happened.
