If a guys is being "just friendly" he will let you know very early on that he's not available, he'll either mention his girlfriend or wife. But if he's telling you that he's going to drive to the next state over and going to visit you...he's thinking about getting into your pants.

There's no reason to or for it.
Ditto!

Are women just objects for men to pursue for sexual reasons??'

Women can't be something to a man other than sexual release??

I don't know why so many men think this way?

Is the Johnson the only thing men can think with??

It's 2014 and some of the stuff I read here floors me.....

Why do people think that all men are the same and that one man's behavior represents the behavior of all men on this planet?

Platonic friends are people we have known for a very long time, and they usually become platonic friends because they we met them through friends or maybe at work. You don't randomly approach a person and then just become friends.
Sadly, I kind of agree with this.

I used to be more of the, "Let's be friends, men and women and if we really click, we'll date."

But that is bad news for men. So now, yea, more than likely I'm just trying to get into your pants. Which doesn't mean that's all I want.

It's kind of indirectly women's fault that men are like that.

The friends first method fails so often and is emotionally painful, so that guys don't want to experience that again. So, if they are attracted to a woman, they'll just make it known.

But in reality, once you get older, much older, men and women don't really get together as friends as often, or really adults in general for that matter.

Thank you Chow...I was kind of scratching my head at some of the responses.

I just met up with a bunch of old friends today that I haven't seen in a few months, mostly men. We all hugged hello and chatted...etc. And I can safely say they are not interested in anything other than friendship.

Based on your posting history, I can't really answer you without violating some of the TOS around here.

I agree with Chow. As soon as you call it "the friends-first method", you're saying you only think of women as a potential source of sexual release. You're admitting the "friends" part is only a means to another end. And blaming it on women is ridiculous. YOU choose whether you want to be friends with a woman/women or not. Just friends. It can be quite rewarding.

I don't know what age would have to do with adults getting together as friends. Sure people get busy, but those interested in making a commitment to keeping a good friendship going, do so. They find the time.
