Why it is so hard for a man to just be friends with a woman?

[StopTheMorans]

why are they always trying to take advantage of me when what I so desperately need is strictly platonic companionship? why?!?! WHY?!?!?! :cry:

1. Because

most men are selfish assholes who think only of their own needs.

Here's a :hug: girlfriend...seems like you need one!

[StopTheMorans]

3. did you even read my post? women will never stop trying things with me

when what I really want is a friendship :cry:

[Zuni]

19. man, the friend zone is hard to get into

most girls just want sex, sex, sex. They have one track minds

[StopTheMorans]

23. i hear you Zuni; it's not fair

6. Ouch

That doesn't leave much room for us men that aren't selfish assholes.

22. Matter of perspective.

Men are under pressure both from biology and society to be in non-platonic relationships with women. Men feel like they are not really men if they do not have sexual relations with women. It is hard to ignore millions of years of evolution just because we now have the veneer of civilization.

7. Because

which gender in your post is THEY? It's one of those ambiguous antecedent problems unhelped by the information in your profile.

[StopTheMorans]

[HereSince1628]

[StopTheMorans]

:silly:

[SarahB]

16. Because...

Sometimes when a woman grows to like a man, it's difficult to not want to sleep with him. If he's as good looking as you, it's even worse.
