If only Women were Men.

When a guy has a buddy, they go see each other at each others’ place, go down the pub together, shoot the breeze, have a meal together, watch the box together and generally enjoy being in each others’ company.
Nobody bats an eyelid, raises an eyebrow, asks any questions, offers any advice or makes any innuendos.

SO

Why is it never the same situation when a guy has a friend who is a woman?

Maybe that woman has a trust issue.
But there are women who ARE men. In fact here are 2 of them who post here on a regular basis.professor
I think because there are a lot of people with "small minds". I have female buddies that I do things with. No big deal!
I have a couple of male friends who I can and do all these things with...without a problem. Why does it have to be complicated?
Ver....

You have proof.... of course!laugh
Unl....

Thats why I am asking the question.
Can't speak for your friend but I do have a man friend who ASKS for advice rolling on the floor laughing

Fair do's, I ask his advice too. And sometimes we even follow each other's advice. Not very often though. laugh
Jim...
I'm with you on that.
Un because some people make things complicated when they weren't that way in the beginning.laugh

"Not very often though"

rolling on the floor laughing Funny!
I'd post the Henry Higgins rant on 'why can't a woman be more like a man' but I did that fairly recently. This must be a common blog complaint. roll eyes
Ah well I have regular bloke friends where we are regular friends.
Lord, we'd be terribly boring if we were like men!!grin
Ver....

Ah! you're the puppet master!
Elegs....

Regular is good............ I think confused

I dont women to be like men.
Cake......

Oh come now... if it wasnt for men, women would be boring..... They would have nothing to complain about. rolling on the floor laughing
Ver....

I dont want any poofs on my blog. laugh

(For those of you that remember what a poof was!)
For those of you who are wondering about what a poof is. Well (not that there's anything wrong with it) but it's a man who would rather be a.....cheering ......heart wings
Now Sol you say you want to hang out with a bloke, go to the pub, watch TV together, enjoy each other's company - and then you say no poofs?

Make up your mind. rolling on the floor laughing


(Ticks off on fingers - batted an eyelid, raised an eyebrow, asked a question, made an innuendo) grin
Couldn't resist. I hate myself. rolling on the floor laughing
Elegs...
Hahahahahaha
I can see you are having good fun deliberately teasing me by mixing my words to suit yourself.dancing
Elegs...

"I hate myself!"

I can tell! rolling on the floor laughing
I have some men friends who do all those things you mention.banana
I guess it depends on the level of the friendship , all my friends know of each other, so, if I were to make arrangements to go to the pub with joe blogs, and another friend rang and said, I was thinking of popping over, are you at home, I would easily be able to say, sorry pal, im out with joe blogs tonight, but can do tomorrow if your around.
Yep Cc, you're absolutely right. It's not complicated. Friendship is friendship, no matter the gender
I have male friends that I do all of the above with.

Friends are friends.

People are people.
Friend who is a woman?? it is impossible!!kiss
ST6. It has worked for me for 16 years. (My best friend_
Music the other one never said anything to me at all. He said a derogatory thing to a friend of mine, and that comment was a big no no. I had no issue with him what so ever.
Others however did not enjoy his blog, and I believe that, and that comment is what led to his downfall.

If he is allowed to return then I'll wish him luck. But he will need to be a bit careful when using his off the path brand of humor.

Sorry Sol for straying a bit off topic.beer
@Veri doh Oops, sorry, I forgot it was your friend he said something to and not you.
I think men and women can be just friends, but the problem arises when people find out about it and start spreading gossip, because those people can't understand that men and women can become very good friends without feeling attracted to each other.

I recently had a female friend and enjoyed her company, but even after we agreed that we were just friends, she started flirting with and because I did not respond to her, she stopped having anything to do with me.

The thing is she told me that she valued friendship and good friends are hard to come by, so why did she retract everything she said to me and gave me signs she wanted me?

I have no problem with being just friends with women and why could she not be honest about her intentions from the start?

I understand the feeling of rejection is not nice, but she felt that feeling anyway, because she was not honest about her feelings for me.
