I ONLY seem to be friends with women.

... Makoto cant just be friends with women. It'd be interesting to hear his thoughts on this.

Watch this video.


What is your opinion? Are the women in the video above simply being naive, or does it show more about the kind of attitude that some men tend to have?

Discuss!


I like how the girls said yes and the guys said no.

I like how the girls said yes, and when questioned about it all thought the guys actually wanted to be more than friends.
I don't think I could be friends with someone if I knew they wanted something else from me. It would feel so fake. They don't actually want to be friends with me, they just want something from me.

So stupid.

Yeah, it's possible. Everyone just thinks it's impossible by thinking that everyone, often the opposite gender of their own, just wants a relationship or sex. If you are bisexual do you not have any friends at all because you wanna bang 'em all? Most likely this is not the case.

I'm with the rest (most) of the guys, I wouldn't be ''just'' friend with a girl unless we're only classmates or working partners that basically only hangs out at those places, but to be friends on a more ''intimate'' level would just be awkward.

I have to asked Harem MC.

>Harem Male: Yes, I think both men and women can be love as a friend!
>Women #4456565: *heart broken*

I notice how the male says "No." and female says "Yes."

Yes, since real humans are not harem main characters who grow sexual tension out of every encounter.

Yes. There might be some sexual tension now and then, but if you don't try to ignore it, it'll work just fine.

Man and woman can be "best friends" only if one of the two is ugly like fuck.

A lower standard friendship is acceptable as well, it helps if one of the two is already engaged to someone else.

Yes, but this is coming from someone who views the process of getting intimate with someone, as a waste of both time and energy, and the end result is therefore not worth it.

Yes, a man and woman can be just friends. Admittedly, I didn't watch those videos at the beginning, but I do have friends that are girls that I don't have a sexual attraction to.

Of course men and women can be friends. Baring for the obvious "not interested because of reasons", there's also the possibility of simply being able to tell apart friendship from lust.

In other words, I don't consider friendship and fucking mutually exclusive (there's your NSFW word of the day); just like I don't consider fucking and relationship necessarily connected.

Nope. Not the actual friends.

I have a plenty of female friends with whom I don't want to hook up, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't fuck the crap out of them if I had the chance. Trust me, it's just the matter of time before it happens.

I meant "hook up" as a phrase of somewhat dating, not as in "hook up" having sex. Bad wording from my side ^^

As a girl is say yes, absolutely...But since i'm not a guy i'm not sure. All the guys in that video said no lol
But i still think yes. I have really close males friends who have gfs who they love and would leave them and i am not interested in them or they in me and i am really good friends with them. So i still stick with yes.
I guess its just a lot of guys who dont think so.

Yes.

It's natural to have romantic/sexual feelings cross your mind once in a while.

As long as the guy/girl doesn't complain about being friendzoned like a little bitch, friendships between two people go pretty well, regardless of gender.

The few people I talk to are female, and I'm not sexually attracted to them at all. If any of them came up to me naked, I'd probably start crying.

Hmm.. I'd say, yes, but only to a certain degree. I believe men and women can be friends superficially, I don't really think a profound or deep friendship can be formed.

My experience is that girls dont have a problem with being just friends with boys, but boys will always be open to have sex with their female friends. I have done it and many of my male friends have done the same. I do have female "friends" but they arent friends in the same way as some of my male friends. If that makes any sense.
