Too many responses on this thread mention the fact that sex is the first thought on a guys mind when he approaches a girl. Yet this thread is about friends. A friend is not some one she picks up at a bar the night before. If a girl chooses to keep a male friend while she is in a relationship it is because she has a history with him. Let’s keep this discussion relative shall we; don’t mix responces to random men and acquaintances in with friends.
Male-Female friendships 101.
So many guys seem to believe that sex is the only thing on a guy’s mind when they befriend a girl. This could not be further from the truth. The more involved a friendship becomes the more there is to risk with an attempt to engage a sexual relationship. If two people go though enough together they begin to feel like siblings. A different kind of love develops and sex becomes the very last thing on their minds. This does happen. There is more to people then their sex drives.
It should also be noted that most friendships between men and women develop though professional circumstances. As they work together a friendship develops. Eventually a bid to get closer is made by one of them. This is either turned down or they give it a try and it doesn’t work. Whatever their path; their already developed relationship and the fact that they must continue to work together gives them a chance to develop a genuine friendship after sex goes off the menu.
In most genuine friendships between a guy and a girl sex has already been dealt with. If it hasn’t then chances are that the guy is what is referred too as an intellectual whore. These men really don’t offer that much of a threat. As I mentioned before, keeping your relationship healthy will prevent any problems from such men.
