The converse? "Can girls be "just ****-buddies" with guys"?

Still, it's interesting that you grown-ups have such stereotypical and limiting relationship ranges, with other people.

again- "supposed to have" ???

I don't think I've ever actually had this conversation with other women irl.
I *do* remember talking about it with my ex-husband's mother once though.
I feel that men and women can be ~just friends~ for certain. I have a lot of feelings on the subject, though.

Well not many women study mathematics in university, and to be honest I never really made the effort to meet the ones that do (aside from a few unattractive ones). The ones I got to know were interesting, but I'm mostly speaking of the impression I get from "the rest".

Any dude that doesn't have some girls who are just friends is doing it wrong.

I just don't see myself asking a girl to come over and do "friend stuff"

So you guys that are friends with girls do this? I mean, acquaintance is one thing. Or like "surface level" friendship. But if I want a friend to come over I'm calling a guy every single time.

the most reasonable answer, given the tenor of the discussion thus far, is comparing dick length

Re: Can guys be "just friends" with girls?

of course not, wtf. As we all know, men walk around all day with constant erections and think about sex every time they see a female. It's biologically impossible for a guy to not want to bang every girl on earth. If it weren't for laws and social conventions, guys would be compulsively humping and ejaculating everywhere 24/7.

Sure you can. There's even a term for that: "friends with benefits." As opposed to, say, "just friends."

So bisexual guys can never have friends?

Have you never been in a relationship? Or are you really constantly thinking about ****ing your girlfriend every time you're doing anything together?
