Former Army Officer turned consultant. Firmly believes that the best ideas are conceived in the shower, twizzlers are way better than red vines, and that he should be allowed to have a $#%&ing beer at lunch. Can't understand why you always think of something better to say after hitting send, how the worst people are always the ones being promoted, or why balding guys don't just shave their heads. Constanly on the verge of starting a quest to work out and eat right. Trying to find love in the DMV.
What I mean is that you can respect someone without being attracted to them and vice versa. People respect plenty of other people they aren’t attracted and are attracted to people they don’t respect. Why do you think people will cheat on each other or hate fuck someone? Additionally, this isn’t a conscious thing. Both men and women immediately judge one another’s physical appearance within seconds of seeing them. If you judged someone to be attractive, it is more likely you will be willing to engage in conversation with that person and thus pursue a friendship.
First, I’d like to expound on what ICF and Guntherfelt said: I once told a female friend of mine, “It’s certainly possible for men and women to be friends. Just don’t kid yourself, given the chance, we will totally bang you.” I’ll caveat that with we must find you attractive. And typically, guys don’t continue to hang out with girls we don’t find at least a bit attractive. This is not to say that we have feelings for you. Again, don’t kid yourself, just because we’ll sleep with you and we value you as a friend doesn’t mean we see ourselves with you. The only reason we are platonic with our friends girlfriends is this: We either find you unattractive, or, more likely, place more value on our male friendship than we place on sleeping with you.
Also, you’re right. We wouldn’t want to be friends with you if we knew that sex was off the table. For one simple reason: if we want to be men and just hang out, we’ll do that with our male friends. We dial it down around you girls, even if you want us to “be ourselves” and it’s exhausting.
As for you being attracted to the womanizer… of course you were. Saw it coming before I even read it. In general, women aren’t interested in having sex with men with whom other women aren’t interested in having sex. In other words: You find your platonic guy friends to be Betas, the womanizer is an Alpha, and women always want to fuck the Alpha.
Two reasons I sit down to pee: 1) I’m so wasted/hungover I can barely stand. 2) Morning wood won’t quit and I don’t feel like leaning over at a 45 degree angle and uncomfortably bending it downward.
You’re not missing anything. I’ve been because I needed a cup of actual coffee (not a diabetic coma in a cup) or just to get out of the office. Never really seen why there’s such a craze. It’s just a coffee shop.
Working out twice a day is good and everything, but in the immortal words of Sir Mix-a-lot, “You can do side bends or situps but please don’t lose that butt.”
I think I deserve a little quality “me time” on the XBone between the 9-5, four weekly workouts, three or so social events a week, and crushing brunch on the weekend.
And in the style of every basic bitch out there, I “just literally can’t right now” waiting for Fallout 4 to release.
Yea, I hate it when hugely successful hot girls want to monopolize my time too. It’s like, “come on, ladies, I’m too much of a catch to be tied down to one smokin hot megastar.”
I’m guessing this is one of two this: 1) He lost a bet with some buddies and had to do this to the next girl he made eye contact with on the train. 2) He randomly decided to see how many people he could freak the hell out for fun.

I’m usually able to contain my laughter at work when reading this site… not after the hairy asshole and ham comments.

Bingo. Respect and attraction are mutually exclusive.
You opened up a giant can of worms here.

It’s gonna be biblical…
My draft is set for 9pm Monday… first night back to grad school. Looks like it’s autodraft for me this season 🙁

It’s only a matter of time til the “Move in Together” article.

Damn straight. Had he been a “no” in her “Would I have sex with him/her?” game, that note would have gone from “Awww, how cute” to “Ewww, creeper”.
Dude, how are you so consistent and on point?
Or you can just boil a pot of water and swish that sucker around in there for a few seconds. Nice and sterile, just like my milk man trusting father.

I’m pretty sure the Batman Band-Aids cover everything you need in a first aid kit.
