Yeah. More routinely.




I can see that. lol And I think there's a great deal of truth to what you said.

But I also see guys who only become friends/bother getting to know women they find attractive (i.e. want to bone) more often than not...



That's happening here on the org too lol




Guys do it to feed their egos. Not because they're seeking genuine friendship. That's not to say that we don't like genuine friendships--but it's not the primary factor when making friends with good looking women.

Where women mistaken charm for sincerity, guys mistaken beauty for all manner of things, to include charm and sincerity.

i think you break out of it to a larger extend in your late 20s though. At least I did. Though I prefer my male friends to be hot.




I hate it when I hear girls say, I feel he really understands me, or he really knows how I feel, etc. etc. I always think, Bitch please--if you looked like me in drag, he wouldn't even talk to you.

Yes.


But the problem is that women always mistaken charm for sincerity. I don't meant that men don't genuinely care for their female friends, but men have this incredible urge to be charming. I think women have this equal urge to be "charmed" and view it at least subconsciously as a courtship ritual.


This of course, allows the most charming guys to be complete assholes and still get away with it.



shhh one more word out of you and you're out of the Man Fraternity.....


tease

lol


I've said it once, and I'll say it again. If we had been friends in the military at the same time, we'd get into a mess of trouble. lol

So the guys just want to bone and the girls fall in love.

Some times it turns out that the girl wants to bone the guy she falls in love with and the guys falls in love with the girl he wants to bone so it is mutual.

Well, I won't get into all the scenarios, but I will say I'm glad that Carrie's threads always so readily gets girls to talk about "boning" in such terms.


She has the Midas touch when it comes to these threads you know.

Yeah, I've seen it happen as well. But I think it probably does go the other way around more often...
