who here suffers the same affliction

yea, but not in the same way you mean

or maybe, who knows

either way, it sucks

like....your third grade concept of chivalry keeps you from having a physical relationship with women who are actually worth being with.

Not me, that's for sure. It's understood from day 1, eight o'clock that I won't tolerate chick friends and only befriend them for purposes of girlfriend and beyond. I settle for nothing less!

i guess i'm just a pussy.

becoming anti social does have its benefits

explain.

Maybe you should try to be direct and take a chance

Sadly this was a serious post btw.

im not advocating this lifestyle, though

the word you're looking for is not 'antisocial'. it's asexual.

synonymous with "not getting laid".

i'm pretty satisfied with this role

did you get my email?

edit: dumb questions email never fails, people do! what did you think?

they arent mutually exclusive terms.

i havent been laid in like, 5 months.

sadly im not truly asexual

I mean I never tell this to a girl, but I never put "us" in the situation where it's possible I just want to be a friend. Of course it's hit or miss, but by operating in terms of absolutes it enables me to make swift decisions regarding perceived profitability. Like I won't really bother with a girl aside from going on what are clearly dates with her. Hanging out with girls comes down to whether or not I have to deal with them regularly, like in a class, that's it. So like I'll only talk to her in class because she is in that class with me, but I don't hang out with her otherwise unless it's clearly on a date. That way by like the second date she makes it clear that she's interested or isn't and we're on the same page. It just removes the stupid-ass games that people play, it's like informally saying "Look, I'm interested, are you?" without beating around the bush (heh). I dunno, doesn't work for everyone and some guys think it's dumb, but I just don't want to be in the stupid friend zone ever. Plus chicks make bad friends, even they know that!

I was perpetually in the family zone once.

i have this trouble, but it only happens with girls im interested in. what an irritating paradox.

I think it stems from me taking too long to really fall for someone, and by that point, before i can turn my awesome lasers on them, im in the "friend zone" (stupid girls)

Why is it a genetic or behavioural pre-requisite to be less good in front of people who actually make you catch your breath rather than just random bits of skirt.

Duo, that seems to me to be a little false. Maybe i skim read it but it seems to me that you are giving the message of basically tits or gtfo

Last time I advanced from the friend zone, I lost my best friend in the end. :(

I liked ****** better when he wasn't constantly talking about getting laid and bragging about his sexual conquests.

so wait, what's the problem here? you always just want to stay friends with them, they always just want to stay friends with you, or you can't bring yourself to make a move on them because you don't know where such an offer would stand?

what in this thread could be construed as bragging about my sexual conquests. there's nothing to brag about.

There's nothing about sexual conquests in this thread, but there has been in other threads. You just had more edge when you were asexual.

"nothing ventured, nothing gained" is the sort of cliched proverb that you're looking for?

sometimes i guess you just have to ask said person if they've ever thought about you two ("us") as more than friends. i suppose the moment presents itself, and you ask as nonchalant as possible.

if they have, then you've got your foot in the door. if they haven't, it's a case of carry on as you were before, try to minimise any awkwardness.

but it's all about the moment, and your instincts. if it's worth asking, and the timing is good, then you're silly not to.

as a general rule: i don't date my friends.

Every time I see see this thread I imagine the title being sung to the tune of "Right Into the Danger Zone."

YES

i like having girls as friends. i didn't really had very many in the past.

there's a pattern of bad choices. learning you're out of their league before you get into it, despite how nice they are to you is pretty key. pretty girls get a lot of attention and a lot of them don't know that they're flirting with you (and when confronted they often will deny it). the sooner you learn from it ******, the better off you'll be.

That's some pretty goo reverse-psychology type advice right there ^

The Ladder Theory (http://www.laddertheory.com/)

I fell in love with my best friend, and now have to put up with all the praise she constantly gives her new boyfriend, and the constant reminder that I can not compete.

I hate phrases like "I can tell you anything! You're so nice to me, you're like a brother to me..."

The Ladder Theory (http://www.laddertheory.com/)

Interesting.

I disagree with the 50% money and power (for me). When I met my ex he was not in college, or a graduate, had a small bank account, and was thousands of dollars in debt with credit cards, and was working at a job that paid min wage. Money has never been a factor for me. I don't know....maybe because I grew up poor, and learned to base people on who they are instead of what they have. And I don't know how well the 50% would apply to other women either.

i dont have any guy friends.

women only really like me because of my giant cock

yes. but at least we sleep together sometimes.

women only really like me because of my giant cock

do you wave it at them as a greeting

i like having guy friends too. i don't have very many. i think i like hanging out w/ guys because i have 3 older brothers.
