Sally: We are just going to be friends, OK?
Harry: Great, friends. It's the best thing...You realize, of course, that we can never be friends.
Sally: Why not?
Harry: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape, or form - is that men and women can't be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry: No, you don't.
Sally: Yes, I do.
Harry: No, you don't.
Sally: Yes, I do.
Harry: You only think you do.

and I know several of them not so secretly want to, or at least would be quite open to banging me.

but ultimately, is for the most part true.

That sounds like a wager!

Most people probably won't read the whole theory and the rebuttals to it. I look at it this way. Any attractive woman can turn a man into a sex partner but men will have great difficulty unless on her ladder.

I put guys in the friend zone but I have no control over what they are thinking or their motives. So they might be thinking....yet, however if I have friend zoned then there is no chance in hell I would let them touch me. There is a reason they are friend zoned.

that all interactions between a man and a woman are sexual, and over the course of years I have found this to be true.

....and despite sharing our love of fine pussy, it doesnt stop the offers for 3somes and meet ups that I get, which I always gently turn down. Can't blame some guys for trying, eh? :

(The pie chart allots a  10 % value and then the author proceeds to dismiss even that paltry amount as 'mostly rubbish') Einstein seemed to get an awful lot of tang.  He was neither wealthy nor what anyone would call a looker.  Lol

I bet he had that memorized and just quoted it to me lol. I of course didn't mind, because I had sex with him. And I wanted to. So it worked out for me. But he would always talk about how he would meet his other friends (women) and they'd fuck to get it out of their system, then move on to friend things.

of wealth and power -- most idiots don't attend Wharton, Harvard, or the like, and this helps to contribute to a pretty good lifestyle.

(Lucky bastard!)

Which is the way things should be.

Definitely a curiosity....I imagine most women wondered plenty.

I mean, in any half-baked belief, there are things that ring true, like:

In my younger days I used to have a couple of girls who are friends also. I suspected that they wanted to be more than friend and if they had just wanted sex with NSA I wouldn't have minded. However I wasn't that attracted to them to want to have sex with them.  

as there's some women who are just friends for me. It's a lot easier for me to be just friends now that I'm older, and more mature (some would argue that). Also it became easier when I got into committed relationships years ago, and when the woman is also in a committed relationship. Then the little voice says, "well, looks like it's just gonna be friends."  One woman has been a friend for 35 years, and she was already married when I met her. Had she not been married or attached, who knows...

Also the fact that I'm a hobbyist makes it real EASY to be friend with women without wanting to have sex with them.

Dear Hbyist+truth:
I am just wondering when you are in the platonic relationship with your friend a what point would you know that there are sexual connotations or tension within the relationship? Also how are you with dealing with that as long as it doesn't become overbearing within the interaction of you two as friends?  Also at what point would you head it off at the pass?  Finally would you say that you get along better with women or men and why?  Also what would be the gender that most of your friends would be?

Dear Hbyist+truth,
How are you with dealing with the sexual tension within a platonic relationship? Also at what point would you say that it certainly become unbearable within the relationship?  Also are you comfortable with married men being friends more so than single men?  Finally would you male friends be more curious to have conjugal relations with you because of your "occupation" or would they have any idea?

but you also know I would never hit you up for a 3 some, A five some? well maybe, but I am way too selfish to share just one woman with you.

Wooosh

although I was single and unattached, and my friend was married. She didn't come out of a shower but was nearly naked and came on to me at her home. I resisted. We'd both had some drinks and she was going through a rough time in her life. And she was married. We're still friends. Nothing more was ever said about it, by either of us.

But this all sounds like men getting all "intellectual" and "educated" about it, as if it's a new found concept - part of the mating process. Pretend you're smart LOL

I would turn her down. I have turned down free poon before.

And I saw my soon to be ex's thinking!

...if not academic. Lol!

I read enough in the OP's post, and I thought the premise sounded stupid.

So now you say "I fuck as much as I want to and only with women I am attracted to." Suppose however that you were isolated with one of those "platonic" gals. I would be willing to wager that within a short time, you'd be banging her on a regular basis. Let's face it- it's in our DNA! Ciao!

Smart?  Hell no... you would have had me at "Long Island Iced Tea".  

In that case the crack of dawn would not be safe

Fair enough. What if both parties were single and free? Do you think the *average* man would turn it down?

As a single man I only pasted up sex once and that was because the lady wasn't coming from a place of strength and it would have been wrong to take her up on her offer at the time. So if I was single, sure I would take up the offer. Now what would the average man do? I could not say as I am not them, but I expect most the single non dating men to go for it. I bet about half of the men with SO would as well. Problem is we aren't dealing with the "average" man, but individual man and as such responses will run a gambit of reactions. I as a married man in love with his wife would turn down free pussy as that is not in our arrangement for open play. I have not and will not betray her that way. The next guy who really knows. Most likely most would jump at the chance, but most if far from all. And that was my point. I only can speak for my self and that is all you can do as well.

Nobody can speak for any one single person but sociologists and others have studied the nature of man. In other words, how would the *average* man react to the scenario. I would believe that the average guy would give in to an attractive naked girl if presented with the opportunity. It would not matter if they had agreed to be "just friends." This assumes that the possibility of getting caught (if one or both were married) is nil.

to which no system of logic can be tied.

We agree. I would just say that logic and sense are not overrated. Rather, they are simply inapplicable to male/female relations.
