And also why do women try to "try it on" with a guy who is a friend (even bf) of their friend?
But jokes apart, why do women pay more attention to some guy who is with another woman than if the same guy was to walk down the road alone?
Bleh, bunch of baloney.
Taken men are more attractive because they're more real, relaxed and are not on the prowl while at the same time they've proven themselves to be unafraid of (if perhaps not so good at) commitment. This is very tempting for a gal who is looking to settle down.
On the flip side though, since those taken men ARE more relaxed and real and NOT on the prowl, they are a lot easier to talk to, somehow seen as a "safe" choice... if the gal is merely looking for a flirtation.
The tough part is that members of both sexes often mistake the messages that are flying around where flirtation is concerned... often in those cases it is quite likely that the flirter is merely interested in flirting while the flirtee may interpret it as indication for something more.
This would be why some gals love their gay male friends so much... flirt all you want and there generally is minimal (if any) confusion regarding intent.
Thats slightly silly, if I may say so..
If a Taken Man is gonna leave his previous relationship to start a new one, I dont think thats a good thing, it only shows you are Berlusconi
Flirting with gay male friends is like drinking Grape juice and calling it wine that doesnt get you drunk
No, you get drunk but you just don't have a hangover. And there are never any "omg, what did I do last nights.".
Whats the fun in drinking then?
Alcohol is just an excuse to do things that you really want to do, deep down, but can never bring yourself to do it otherwise
'Cause.
Alcohol is not an excuse, it is the means.
Some women are competitive they try to prove that they can get any man, married, single, gay, whatever get means. Others like married or committed men because they are easier to dump. Like Peg A says sometimes men relax after marraige, they are less threatening sexually which allows you fall for them personally.
I guess it's the same for men with married women, plus they won't be expected to pay for the woman's upkeep.
In my experience men and women are equally good at respecting the union of a committed couple- married or not. they might think about it , but not act on it.
Am I missing something ?- how can you flirt with a gay guy of you are not gay? I onely know someone to do it a s a joke. If you are not joking then you are gay.
But seriously guys, think of a Sada strutting around the office in high heels with extra testosterone, although she of course likes to keep it more down-to-earth.
why do you consider a woman flirting with a gay guy to be gay?
...the ultimate effect of which is no more noble than that of a "typical male" womanizer, IMHO.
So, I was missing something I thought that the post was about straight men flirting with gay men, which is not a good idea!
Would it be better for a woman to marry a ladysitter and occasionally during ovulation time call up a bad boy?
I actually know a person (or ten) for whom this would be an ideal situation.
Once upon a time I may have wanted this myself even... well, except for the fact that I'd thought for a loooong time that having a baby for me was pretty much out of the question.
I am hijacking my own thread here bit the talk of Barbie dolls reminded me of this, kind of sick, American Girl has a new homeless doll her history is that dad left and mum and child are sleeping in the car cost is approx $95, they seem to be selling very well! it would be nice if American Girl at least donated the profit to a homeless children charity
Man, I always miss the best fun when I am gone...
I think it is ultimately possible. Though, can be complicated, especially, if one of the "just friends" have issues, feelings of low self-worth or whatever and the whole friend relationship gets messy, one is more tempted to infect the platonic status.
Then the concepts of maturity, dignity, appropriacy and trust or emotional infidelity of "taken" partner (since there is more than just sex to worry about) come to mind, but that is a whole another complex area.
It's very possible, I have a number of close female friends and our relationships are great. An added barrier is the fact that I'm married so I make this clear from the onset so there're no misunderstanding our position. Before being committed to my partner, I had a friendship where it wasn't clear where we were heading so there was some physical attraction on my part. As we got closer I began to genuinely care for her as I would a sister and whilst I appreciate she's an attractive woman I don't think of her sexually and believe the feeling is mutual (very important for it to work!!). That said I wouldn't go so far as testing myself by doing something like have a sleepover at her place - with matters of the heart anything can happen and you won't even know what hit you, or what you hit!!
Here's a nasty question for women. Have you ever felt sorry for your male best friend and slept with him just to keep because you felt he needed a bit of loving even though you weren't sexually attracted to him? Or even just because you thought you might be get turned on if you gave it a try.
Wow! You've gone from an already personal, probing type of question, to a downright intimate one, I'll be very surprised if you get a real (as in, honest) response to this.
Personally, I shall only read them with my eyes shut. Good luck with your quest here Hoppy.
P.S. "Only the river knows, and it will never tell".
Uhm...Haha. Don't do it! It might be just your hormons speaking, afterall .
I can imagine that it might be easier for a guy to relieve his female friend's itch, rather than vice versa? And it might not be a question of extreme sympathy, either. It could be only a stupid stereotype, though. It probably happens, irrespective of gender.
Good God... you've really done that? Eek...
I tried to be close "platonic" friends with some females.. got kicked out 4 in the morning on a cold december morning, other thought there was something wrong with me, one even asked if I was gay?!
So that was it for me... never again!
