It is possible to have friends and just be friends, don't get me wrong. But...
Guys often subconsciously choose friends based on attraction.
Do you have any actual female "friends" (who you think are even remotely attractive), that you go out of your way to be friends with, that you would not sleep with if given the chance?
Subconciously, guys often pick a significant number of their female friends (almost 65%) based on how attracted they are to them. Now they won't be equally attracted to all of them. Some may be their type, some not. Guys like variety.
Some friends will also be platonic friends. But a lot of the females in their life will in some way be a mental harem of theirs, a line up of varied women who he subconsciously may find desirable in different ways.
Think about it. Do you have any actual female "friends":
- You find remotely attractive
- You make an active effort to stay in contact with
- You go out of your way to be friends with
that you would not sleep with if given the chance?
Almost all studies on the subject show that it is almost always a no.
I have never been active "friends" with a female I didn't want to have sex with. You know the ones you make the effort to call or text or ask to hang out.
Some guys often get nervous to text female friends - they want to impress them, they want to make sure the text is all right, maybe not too suggestive, not too flirty, but flirty enough to keep the girl's mind thinking in that way.
Fantasies about or getting turned on by a female friend (or hey maybe two or three female friends at the same time) is quite common - e.g. if they happen to pose in a bikini, or come to work in tights/stockings. A female friend who slowly eats a banana or hot dog is likely to have her friend imagining her licking his hot dog in his dreams that night!
Women and men can always be friends only of course, but there is definitely that middle ground between friendship and relationship, the flirtationship. It's a fun place to be.
If a female friend, looking particularly hot one night happened to be flirty with her friend, he really is hoping for more (if he find her attractive and if you're one of the 65%, yep he will fantasize about it tonight!).
Would you sleep with even one of your female friends if you had the chance and have you fantasized about it?
And for girls who have a boyfriend, guys do want you, that's why they're with you. It's possible they have fantasized about female friends, or them joining the two of you in the bedroom..or even one of your attractive friends joining both of you..
So what does everyone think?
What Girls & Guys Said
0 2"If you are 'friends' with a female, then one of these conditions is undoubtedly true:
You want to fuck her.
You already have fucked her.
She is below a 5"

That article is just spot on.
Well said!! Damn what you say is true!!
Very good article as well!
I think the part about gauging a female at first meeting is true
Well thanks for giving me four notification for one comment... O. o And also I posted what's in quotes on Yik Yak it got so many downvotes it got removed.
It's spot on tbh. To the point as well. Yeah, I guess guys do think about how 'bangable' they are, when they befriend a girl. @MrOracle, what do you think?
What does it mean if you fantasize about them? I mean, I'm sure lots of us have right?
Fantasizing is probably normal too.
And erm.. fantasizing about two of them together with you? =) Is it possible to induce a situation where girl initiates so you can say fine... ok, i'll bang you!
In dreamland maybe. I'm not a love guru so I don't know.
Lol. Wish these girls would initiate. That article is SPOT ON.
I would first have to get female friends before I would consider doing that.
It'll happen! Part of it is situational, you have to be in an environment where you meet girls regularly and interact and thus befriend them - or choose which you befriend!
That I know. But I would have to be in such an environment first.
Tbh the girls you actively stay in touch with and thus friends will be the attractive ones
Probably.
I don't know if I could call any of my female friends actual friends. More like acquaintances, cause I pretty much only interact with them in class (which is why I assume I'm gonna be screwed once I graduate college if I'm still single).
Yeah tbh a lot of people in life are acquaintainces, esp fb friend!
