I think it's totally possible to be friends straight guy + straight girl (gay+gay, etc too), but that may be because I've seen it more than a few times.

No straight man can ever be best friends with a girl. Plain and simple. My best friend for the past 2 years is a woman. We get along swimmingly... (We're both straight too.) We're not each other's romantic type... we know each other well enough to discern that.

There is this bollywood movie that says--
"Men and Woman can't be friends because love always gets in the way (Hum Tum)"
I am finding that to be oddly true.

I think there is a need to distinguish between the types of friendships here: 1) acquaintance-based friendship 2) deep friendship I think guys and girls can easily be friends if it is 1), but very hard if it is 2) because when you enter this realm and they already have a bf/gf you are crossing into that gf/bf domain, as any sustainable long term relationship usually has an element of "depth" to it. My 2 cents

Did anyone mention the possibility that girls and guys can be friends and still be lovers? It's not exactly far-fetched, you know.

^ You have male friends because you're good-looking, that really is how it works. Ugly girls will not be surrounded by lots of men; sad, but true. As I've said in the past, I saw your picture and you're attractive.. deal with it! My friends have outright said to me that I am ugly.And they all have GORGEOUS (and very nice) girlfriends who have also become my friends. Most like me because I collect classic funk records and they trade and swap them with me. I have low self esteem for a reason. In school people used to come up to me and tell me(on a daily basis) that I made them want to barf.My mother tells me that I am ugly too... There are many things that don't come out in photographs.I have permanent scars on my face... how gross is that?

Sorry but this fishing for compliments you're doing is pretty obvious and doesnt wash with me. I agree with the previous poster.

Sorry but this fishing for compliments you're doing is pretty obvious and doesnt wash with me. I agree with the previous poster. I will not budge in how I feel about myself. I think that I am a bad person. If I type that down on a forum I do not expect people to say "honey, you're a good person". and if they do I know it means zip because they do not know me beyond what I present over the internet. Same goes for a photograph. What I am doing is complaining. Not fishing for compliments. I often use the internet as an outlet to complain and I understand that that is wrong. And for that, I am very sorry.I do not complain to my boyfriend or my friends in real life because I don't want to drive them away. But I could care less if I do so to strangers over the internet.I can say that I am sorry for my bitchin' and moaning but I cannot be sorry for "fishing for compliments" as you say I do because that is something I can honestly say I haven't done. But thanks for the wake up call. I now understand how bothersome my online behavior can be to people. and I will try my darndest to stop. Again, I really am very sorry. If I ever act like this again, feel free to cuss me out.

Some of the reasons you seem good to me: you loaned a considerable amount of money to someone that you didn't know well (kind, trusting), you're humble, you apologize (...even thought it's unnecessary). In your pictures you are attractive, and I think that's what krez is saying indirectly. You certainly shouldn't apologize for complaining on this site, almost everyone does and thekrez is definitely not an exception in that regard.

^Sooo true
You really have to force friendship upon them. You gotta punch them in the arm (hard) every time you see them, talk about how sexy other guys are, burp loudly, act like a retard...... anything to de-sexify yourself. It works wonders.

^That move could backfire. The chick may already be taken plus if you had gotten along well with one of the guys it would've opened up the potential to meet more (available) chicks. I know a lot of date-worthy guys that I could introduce to other girls if I decided they were OK to join my social circle. It's all about connections

What's the rule regarding foisting your rellos on your available friends?
