Weird? I don't think that.

I know many men don't. I was being factious. I refer you to this post on yet another 'why can't women and men be friends' thread. This is actual banter that usually ensues on these threads. If you don't believe me then just click on the thread title in the upper right hand top of the post and read the whole thing. This was post #2...watch what happens.

Idk, Why do woman always assume guys are trying to have sex with them? Like is sex a bad thing? I never understood that. Maybe instead of being concerned that guys just want to have sex with uou ladies. Maybe the real issue is you ladies don't want to be taken for grantted? Am i correct.

My experience has been sex is good. When I was younger and wasnt old and out of shape. I had alot of one night stands. Those nights were about sex, but it wasn't always about sex. I was still friends with the ladies, remembered there names in the morning, and was still respectful and treatted them with kindness. Maybe if players learned the difference then life wouldn't be so hard. Just my opinion, what do you say ladies?

Sex is good, using and selfishness is not.

Here is another post on the subject which pretty much sums it up.

//www.city-data.com/forum/32924838-post31.html

The same goes for this thread. Look at the way you structured your title, "Why do women always assume..." You set yourself up for disaster like she did making a blanket statement about ALL women and that they ALWAYS assume.

I think it's great the OP often interacts with women simply as "people" and not as potential sex partners.
When I was in college, I assumed guys chatting me up, inviting me to lunch, etc, just wanted to be buddies. Well, I assumed wrong. I learned in time that generally, a guy doesn't seek you out or do anything out of his way for you unless he's interested in you romantically/sexually.

Guys complain way more about being friend-zoned than women not wanting to JUST be buddies. It seems the confusion is usually the other way around - the woman thinks they are just friends hanging out & the guy has other ideas. A few bad experiences like that, and women may become wary.

So it's not vanity, but experience. And you can blame some of your fellow males for not being clear in their intentions and acting like victims of friend-zoning for this.

As a guy, I sure wish I could assume that all women were trying to have sex with me when they spark a conversation. It would definitely make things interesting and fun.

What bugs me about this is we seem to forget that guys and gals are different chemically and wired different. So different needs.

I had alot of female friends in the recent past, but kind of cut them off lately. Its not like I don't mind talking etc, but Im kinda sick of ladies getting their emotional needs by just being friends and calling and talking to me for hrs on end. Getting there emotional intimacy needs met. I enjoying talking but the truth is it really doesn't do that much for me as a guy, now for my lady friends its another story, they feel emotionally secure and content from talking.

Do any other guys feel this way? This is why I think the reason we have so many problems between the sexes is we don't understand how different we are like what I said in my last post.
