Author	Thread: Do guys want female friends?
lynneb423 View Profile History	Do guys want female friends? Posted : 26 Apr, 2011 07:29 PM I've had this conversation with my brother: why don't guys seem to want female friends? His response was that guys don't seek out female friends. He couldn't really give me an answer as to why not. I think he's right because I've seen personal ads on other sites where men will basically say 'not looking for friends' or 'don't respond if you only want a pen pal.' But, I'm wondering ... WHY? If neither person is seeing anyone and you could do social things with a female that you enjoy the company of but have no interest in- why wouldn't you? Also, I guess my question would be directed more toward older guys ... as younger guys in their teens and 20's still seem to have friends that are women, but single men in their 40-50's don't. Thanks, guys for any responses. :) Post Reply

From her profile I think lynn is a great gal and in my age range, even looking younger than she is! The first time I answered hypothetically The second time I answered specifically I tried my best to answer informatively, however I did not realize at the time this was one those "Do these pants make my butt look big?" questions! :ROFL: Post Reply

hubbarddebra99 View Profile History	Do guys want female friends? Posted : 27 Apr, 2011 01:09 PM I was being a smarty-butt before. I would like more friends of both sexes. In my little, rural town, the woman my age are already settled down, and have been married for years. I can feel that sometimes they look at a divorced woman like me as a threat. I like men--period! I am NOT looking for either sex or "a furniture mover" I like the honesty of men, and how most men keep it real, and "shoot straght from the hip" This is NOT to put down any woman, exspecially the ones on CDFF, but sometimes women are so catty, competive, and mean with each other. Also it seems to me, "and this is just my opinion of my church" the real "meaty" bible studies are for the men, what they've offered woman is a little lighter and fluffyer! Post Reply

Posted : 27 Apr, 2011 04:55 PM you know i understand not wanting to be friends with somebody if they have a bad attitude or something like that but this girl sure doesn't seem that way and i think it's wrong the way she is being treated right now Post Reply
View Profile History	Do guys want female friends? Posted : 27 Apr, 2011 05:34 PM Don't be sad, ladies! We DO want to be friends:hearts: - with everyone if it were possible. But we misunderstand one another in face-to-face conversations even, and some things only your own sex can ever understand (male sex drive, giving birth, etc.) It just boils down to being easier to understand your own kind. That and the fact that hobbies are often gender biased in real life if not on paper so in your free time you'll probably end up with your own gender. As an examplem women generally like to shop and they'll meet other women there doing the same, guys might enrol on a mechanic course and make friends with the other guys on that. Generally you won't find as many men shopping and there'll be few ladies learning engines and stuff! All of the above is in general; for dating sites, I'm here for a purpose (and it's not actually the forums but they are an addictive distraction!) and being "penpals" for want of a better description would take time away from that purpose. Having said that, taking part in these forums has given me a lot of respect for several people - and I include several women in that - so if that counts as friendship then I'm glad! :waving: Darren Post Reply
lynneb423 View Profile History	Do guys want female friends? Posted : 27 Apr, 2011 06:01 PM I can see where the intent of my question was a bit unclear! In keeping it brief, I was trying for "minimal wordiness" but I only managed to accomplish "maximum vagueness". :goofball: So therefore: Do guys want female friends?- the revised edition. :winksmile: Among my circle of friends, I've wished for there to be a few male friends that I could do things with that my female friends aren't interested in doing. I love to play pool, ping pong (and you won't believe this one) go down to the local field and throw a football around! (right now would be a good time to wedge-in the fact I'm in no way, shape, or form a tomboy. Just grew up really close to my brother and did "guy" stuff. Okay, moving on now) but I didn't mean to imply that that's what I'm looking for on this site. My "looking for" was originally "a long term relationship", and I've since been corresponding with a lot of guys. Recently after a guy viewed my profile again, I realized that he and I had been emailing and I couldn't remember: what was his name? what did he tell me about his life? who wrote back last? I realized that I'm writing to too many men, and I changed my "looking for" to lessen my opportunities. Also, it saddens me to read that some have responded to say that they've had female friends who've used them repeatedly. If those women were Christians ... then that's especially sad. Thanks for all the responses. :glow: Post Reply
View Profile History	Do guys want female friends? Posted : 28 Apr, 2011 08:23 AM Actually yeah, I suppose I am. I'm looking for somebody who I can be myself around and enjoys being with me being myself and is interested in what I think say and do, and vice versa. Most importantly, is genuinely like that, and doesn't demand so much effort from her because she's trying to make it work just because her biological clock is ticking, or is otherwise needy or desperate. It's not where you are, it's where you're going. And I'd rather have a friendship that turns into more and keeps progressing so over time, than the other way around. Post Reply

View Profile History	Do guys want female friends? Posted : 28 Apr, 2011 11:41 AM Hi, I would suppose that the younger guys have female friends mainly because of the school/college "scene". Younger guys are more apt to be involved in social situations involving females and are more likely to have more female friends. Myself, I do welcome female friends because i believe that the Lord uses people to heal people. I have in the past had many painful experiences with the opposite gender to include my mother. CDFF has been a blessing to me in many ways but mostly in the social skills development area. Not having been taught or having developed social skills with the opposite gender, it is difficult for men to be just friends. Not to mention that the world and our culture programs us in a negitive manner and promotes pysical promiscuity. There are some men who think that friendships with the opposite gender are invaluable..... Post Reply
