Don't feel bad, I have the same problem. I think it's because we as woman feel that being a friend is one of the most important steps that lead to a successful relationship. The thing is, men feel that once they establish a good meaningful relationship with a woman, it's something that they do not want to jeopardize losing, especially if they value friendship. So, to avoid getting shot down or possibly losing a good friend, they play it safe, i.e. keep you as a good friend especially when they need someone to talk to about their problems.

Why can't you allow your boyfriend to have female friends?  Why are you so insecure?  I have female friends and I have been happily married for several years.  I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with someone so insecure that they would force me to choose my friends based solely on if they have a penis or not.  What's up with you?  Do you sleep with every guy you know?  If not, cut some slack.  On the other hand if you can't trust your boyfriend based on his behavior that is a different story.  Remember you don't have to trust everyone who enters his life, you just have to trust him.  Now here is a heads up for how guys think.  If my wife is even slightly jealous of a female, I love it.  It's just another way for her to say "I love you".  Of course she trusts me and I have never given her reason not to.  Stop nagging and start bragging.  Tell me I'm a saint and a king and I might believe you and act like one.  Tell me I'm a dog and a snake, and who knows?

Men have fantacy not only about friend's wife, but about every (beautiful?) woman. It is not that females do not have any fantacy about other men. Both are the same in this respect, but men show it outwardly, whereas women do it quietly! Given a chance, everyone would like to have group sex, but the question is "Who will bell the cat?".

For the same reason us men get jealous when our girls talk with other men very openly.\n\nEveryone knows affection doesn't start out with the looks, it's with the small talk and the experiences we share and all that. Getting *very openly* with someone is an invitation for one of the two to grow affectionate - if not in love - with the other. That's how many friends hook up in the long run.

Absolutely! Here's the simplest answer : Men and women can be friends without any kind of sexual tension if neither is physically attracted to the other. Make sense? I mean, there's going to be sexual tension if one (or both) is attracted to the other.\n\nAt worst, it's being an acquantaince. At best, Platonic love.

Women are like drugs in some cases. However, it's not always the sex. Its the feeling of being with that particular person. Then you have whores who are shallow, dont care about women, and just think they are cool to have sex. It's so they can go around and tell all their buddys that they banged the local hot chick that lives next door.

Wow!  I think there are easier ways to keep girl friends other than changing your sex.  Perhaps the only thing you need to cut off is your current emasculating friends!

As a man once told me: NO!  If you are an attractive woman it is hard for a man to see you as just a friend.

i do not belive in frendships after knowing the person underneah his or her clothes. there is no friendship possible if there is attraction from one side.friendships between a man and a woman are extra rare. do not have sex with the guy because you feel bad about him being in Iraq. after surviving such hard life experiance he will be changed and use all his charm to get you where he wants. find out if he still has feelings for you. if he is the only one he has to accept your decision just to be friends. i have met an american solider from North Carolina who had also been to Iraq. i do not know a lot of man who have charm like his. he said talking to me is like being in heaven.

To be honest, the more you sleep with friends of the opposite sex and have thoughts of lust and a thirst for having sex, chances are that either you're gonna go mental or you're gonna show your sexual desires little by little. Eventually when you sleep with women, your curiousity grows. Maybe first you might  start resting your hand on her hips, or just having your whole body touching hers and so on. So by that time, you're gonna be touching her and/or she's gonna be touching you. Before you know it, those sexual thoughts turns into action. Of course we all want friendship to be the base of a relationship but with all due respect sleeping with your female friend is just jumping the gun too soon. But I can be wrong because I don't know if you have a rock solid friendship going or not. But it's not possible to actually sleep with a female friend "forever" without having sexual desires and or having sex.

You can have a friendship between a male and a female without it turning romantic.\nI have a lot more male friends than female ones. It just turned out that way because I grew up with 5 brothers and their friends. I feel more comfortable around guys than girls because there were no snide or catty remarks.

Because they aren't interested in you in that way.  If you tell them you like them, "more than friends" it makes them uncomfortable around you because you clearly want more than they do.  Shutting you out at that point, is actually the morally correct thing to do.  Allowing you to still hang out with them, after you tell them your want more, is just wrong, and is leading you on.  So, look at it this way, you pick decent women, its just they aren't interested in you in the same way your are.  Tip: don't ever have female friends, unless you are not attracted to them, or you "know" that is all it will ever be. ...and as a guy, you do know.

If there is no sex involved, why does it have to be gay?  Why can't you be friends with any gender/orientation?

It could be that it's the only way they can get laid. Those sick jerks will screw a snake if you hold the mouth open. You don't need friends like that !!!

It is possible, but not very...  Most men and women that become friends usually end up sleeping together or developing feelings for one another in the long run.  I would recommend against it...
