    There will always be things better left unsaid between a man and a woman.

    But then again some things are already been "said" even if they weren't.

    In the end it's all about how good both sides are in hiding their motives/intentions, Whether it leads to something or not.

    why.. what's wrong with having a friend because you have things in common? and not because you think they are attractive

    Ew, half of those Jazz fan girls had some seriously large round foreheads... and pointy knees.

    I hadn't really thought of it before, but perhaps the "can't be friends without sexy intent" thing is true. Of my 5-6 close female friends, I have either wanted them or they wanted me at some point. The ones that like me, I'm able to keep them at arm's length and sustain our friendships -- it also helps when they get married and get over you. As for the ones that I liked, I've typically fought my way out of the friend-zone and into a relationship... which then ends badly and results in some sorta rocky awkward obligatory friendship. Yaay.

    One of my gay friends was adamant about not sharing a bed with me at a hotel once. Now I get it!

    If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
    Man, find an ugly woman, and make her your wife
    I mean ugly, so bad you can't look in her face
    So fat she can't go down and tie her shoe lace
    Now the reason that I say this, is simple and plain
    All the pretty girls, man, they just play games
    With your mind and your time, they're not with it
    Cause if you ain't got no money, then you might as well (hit it!)

    "Wouldn't WANT to" and "IS friend material" to me is 2 different things. Time and resources are valuable like money, so yes it des make sense to only surround yourself with Would-Tap potential.

    Though sometimes you don't want to be around a bunch of chicks talking about their "Twilight Teams" and added gibberish you care NOTHING about and have to put up with.

    In the pop culture world we live in, anyone who shares similar interests in music and sports and that kind of thing are what counts as "cool". Sometimes you just want to hear something CONSTRUCTIVE in that regard, even if you have no intention of ever boning the person.

    Everyone is talking about being just friends with unattractive girls, but there's a better idea. Being just friends with really hot girls that are out of your league. Because most of those girls have friends that are really hot, but aren't out of your league, and the out-of-your-league friend will be willing to hook you up with them. I always try to have a couple of those friends. You'll always be sexually attracted to her, but if you're smart, you can keep that under wraps, and it can mean good things for you.

    It is possible but several things must happen or be in place.
