If they were my friend, then I would enjoy their company. If they're not my friend, I would be using them for shows and I wouldn't feel right about it.
This is very superficial, shallow and ... putting looks over feelings. Not good.
If this story is true, I'm guessing this guy has excess tickets and no one to go with him.
So yeah, I'd go. Just make it clear it is a "friend" thing from the get-go. I've "gone out" with guys I wasn't physically attracted to, just to see if there was something else there.
Agree, but what I don't do is spend anymore time with someone I would consider "toxic"(and people who are mean and treat people poorly are toxic), than I have to. And that would only be in a situation where you had to put up with them. As in work or you're related to them.
My friend and I are having a bet and I'm curious to hear your answers.
Let's say you have an extremely unattractive friend who is always offering free tickets to shows. While this person doesn't smell, he has bright red skin, pock-marks, is 15 years older, overweight and spits on you when he talks. However, he's nice, helpful, lonely and loquacious. Seating is prime and he's always hooked-up for sold out shows. Could you comfortably go out with said person just as a friend?
If you're way hotter than him than everyone is going to know the deal anyway. It's not like anyone with a brain is going to think you're hanging out with an ugly guy unless you're getting something. Just don't take it too far bc he's eventually going to try to bone you and then get all wah wah you owe me drama.

For some reason, when I read, "Seating is prime" right after your description of your friend, I pictured you sitting on his lap. "Wow, this is prime seating. But please don't spit in my hair, if you can help it." You gotta admit... kind of a funny visual.
I would not have any problem hanging out with anyone if I genuinely liked them. Physical appearance has never factored into any of my friendships. If someone was stinky AND wouldn't let me sit on their lap, then no dice, man. But otherwise, yeah. All good.
why waste time with someone who obviously embarrasses you? You have a right to your opinion. This person sounds like someone that a lot of people wouldn't feel comfortable being seen with.
If it were me I wouldn't...personally he sounds a whole lot like my husband. :} Seriously, it isn't fair to him. He obviously doesn't know that he may not be a perfect love match for someone but his heart seems to be in the right place. You didn't say that he forces his tongue down your throat or bombards you with calls. He obviously has class in women and entertainment.
Now, now Gretchen...I never said it was me or what the bet was about. But I agree, that isn't a friendship. Point of the question was, could you be friends, talking on the phone, e-mailing, hanging out with said person?
How can you ask the question? I guess you know it is wrong.
