Can a man and a woman just be friends?
I’m bisexual, can I even have friends?
Stop bringing this one up. Seriously, just fucking stop it.
Because I’m demisexual and bi, I primarily get attracted to people by personality rather than looks, so I’m definitely not allowed have friends.
Be honest, Lorcan. There’s also a court order in effect in your case.
I’m fighting to get that overturned!

Interestingly, fwiw, some guys think that if they become friends with a bisexual woman, they might get “lucky” someday and get a 3some out of it. Apparently, they watched to much Cinemax back in the day…

Actually, I was watching some show years ago where a few women of different orientations were interviewed about their experiences. The bisexual woman said that guys think of her as a “treat” and try to befriend her for the reason I said above.
So the answer to where you get your information from is, one woman said this some years ago on some TV show.
You know, I think this might not be the most reliable of sources.

It was an interesting late night show on cable TV from the woman’s perspective of how “slick” some guys think they are, befriending a bisexual, befriending a lesbian to possibly “convert” her someday as well as to pick up “tips” or advice on oral matters for their girlfriend… or trying to “trick”/seduce a virgin who wants to “save” herself for a “special” someone.
You want to question it all, be my guest but it now falls on you to present articles and other info to contribute to this thread.
Anyone can refute another poster, but it takes someone real to back up what they post.

The reality is, Al, that I have been and am friends with quite a lot of bisexual people (including Anders) and have never speculated on having a threesome with them. And that goes for the vast majority of people, I am sure. I also have queer and transsexual friends, and in spite of being a heterosexual male I am friends with a lot of women of different sexual orientations. That is the banal reality for most of us in the 21st century, but it’s not what drives late night talkshows.

Relationships are complex animals and dissecting where one went wrong is both complex and difficult and when it comes to the specifics also rather private. I will say this: I think one of the things that isn’t so broadly discussed is that none of us go into this knowing how to deal with relationships, and that figuring it out can be bloody difficult. I think with many, many, many couples the true problem isn’t the kind of imbalance you mention – I mean, that is a problem, and there are other typical problems of course, but the deeper problem behind that is that we are not very well equipped to deal with these surface problems when they arise. A lot of the time people just try to ignore the troubles and carry on and hope the problems will go away. Actually actually talking to your partner about the things that are maybe going wrong in a relationship and coming to terms with them is really rather difficult.

We don’t want to hurt the one we love but acts of omission do damage. It’s not always easy to have certain talks but they are absolutely worth it.
Trust is key. You have to trust each other. That takes time and energy to build, strengthen, and maintain. All that work is worth it, though. To know someone completely has your back and you can be vulnerable with brings not only immeasurable strength to each individual but to the relationship itself.

Ok…
In this thread, we mostly keep things light. Even when I say some of my “al-xisms” like “dating shape”, “happening kind of guy”, etc… it is just small talk on meeting someone, socializing, and going out. But there is so much more to a relationship than just scoring on a hot date or a one night stand. We can all keep the thread light or get into deeper subject matter of a relationship. It is totally up to you.
On a side note, I sort of miss the old days, when posters like Stephanie and Sabrina would challenge me all the time. They had great input, I will admit.

I asked this before but :Would you sacrifice your pursuits and “take a back seat” to let your partner succeed in their career?
If it made sense financially and in terms of the relationship, yes.
If you were in a “white collar” profession (corporate office, doctor, lawyer), would you mind being in a relationship with someone who is, say, a “blue collar” worker?
If it made sense financially and in terms of the relationship, yes.
Can a man and a woman just be friends?
For most men and most women, absolutely.

Personally, I am mostly a “live and let live” person, yet there are some things I am somewhat conservative on. Spring started already and the weather is getting warmer. I have to say that a woman can wear whatever she wants in public within reason. I feel however, that some (not all) need to rethink things over and possibly put on some more clothes before going outside.
How do other peoples’ choices of clothing affect you in any way whatsoever?

I guess the difference here in these recent postings is that some here are arguing for the right for women to do what ever they want and I feel that I am going a little further in saying to also be cautious.
You’re right, it’s the responsibility of women to stop men abusing them. If they just dressed more modestly that would never happen again.
-
Can a man and a woman just be friends?
Yes, absolutely. I don’t know why you keep asking this.
Look “When Harry Met Sally’ was a great movie and all that but this literally happens all the time, in relationships that last for decades.
I have a good friend, a Swedish guy called Stefan, and his wife is really into sci-fi books and movies. He worked in the oil business so was often away, so me and his wife Sandra went to the movies together all the time, both partners fully aware. I don’t fancy her and as far as I know she’s never fancied me, zero flirting or anything else happened, we just shared a common interest and liked watching and talking about the movies.
That is a man and a woman just being friends and it’s one example of dozens in my life and millions in the world.
So your question is answered Al.

Are you saying that a woman shouldn’t be careful in certain situations?
The point is they shouldn’t have to be. I don’t know if this made the news Stateside, but recently a young woman went missing in London (it was later discovered she’d been murdered… by a police officer) and the advice before an arrest was made was that women shouldn’t go out alone. As one female politician said at the time, why should the women stay home? Why not the men?
So instead of worrying about what women should or shouldn’t do, how about you just do your bit so they don’t have to be careful.
-
I heard about what happened to the woman and the big demonstration over there.
It is tragic what happened and it shouldn’t be that way. But it is.Originally, in my post, it was just a side note saying that, while I don’t consider myself a prude, I still have some conservative ways. I still have my limits.
For the record, the handkerchief top is like this:
Now, would I impose and forbid some young woman to walk in NYC like this? No. It is her right.
Do I worry about what they should or shouldn’t do? No
Do I do my part so they don’t have to be careful? Yes.
I know women who have been raped and heard what they went through. Different experiences, different perspectives, and so on lead to difference of outlook and opinions.

Those are interesting questions, if I spent every day with Sandra as my best friend, totally platonically, would it be accepted by our spouses? Probably not, it’d be a little strange. (As to your question I met them both at the same time so it would probably be ‘their’ or ‘her’ friend rather than ‘his’).
However at this stage of life, as you hinted at, I don’t know many people who do have that kind of relationship, regardless of gender. It changes really as you or they get partners, I haven’t had a ‘best friend’ in that way for maybe 23 years.
They are essentially interesting extensions though from Al’s main question which I think is obviously wrong.

Yes, I’m fairly doubtful that biology actually plays as strong a role in relationships as is popularly spouted in many pop science articles or videos. I’m not a big proponent of using biology as an explanation since, obviously, we are all basically doing things we were not biologically designed to do every day. Culture seems a far better explanation. Someone could argue that culture emerged from biology, but I’d say it’s just as likely – or even more likely – culture emerged in contrast to biology or to directly counter biological urges.
As mentioned, many cultures overtly prevent friendships between men and women who are not married and only encourage marital relationships, but even in the most traditional cultures, adultery is still common. I think there might be less adultery if there was greater cultural support for platonic friendships. In a culture that keeps the genders separate, when a man and woman are attracted to each other, they won’t have much to talk about so sex is about the only thing they can do together.
So, I do feel that close friendships between individual men and women are possible, but they are discouraged and more difficult than close friendships between the same gender which are already quite difficult to form in any case.
-
Al’s main question which I think is obviously wrong.
I think I am basically asexual. Most interaction I have with women is conversational. I have rarely pursued women for sex. I have a female friend who I have known for over 20 years. She has a husband and 3 kids. Early on, there was some people who thought there was something between us but I have developed a resistance to peer pressure so I ignored them. My main attraction is wit and personality. I don’t hesitate in talking to good looking women because there are no stakes on the line and my opening line is not a pickup line. If I get rejected its no big deal and if they have trouble grasping the concept that I am not after them sexually then they failed the wit checkbox and I am better off not knowing them.
My main philosophy is treat people like human beings. We are all human beings despite our differences in plumbing so treat everyone the same. You’d be surprised how successful you can be if you do.

I did start that post by saying I am probably asexual. I am not looking for a mate or sex. I agree it does NOT work for everyone. I have not gone on dates with any of the women I have met. But I have gone to bars, concerts, sporting events, and movies with them. I am or have been friends with them and some times they have said it was fun not worrying what will happen at the end of the night. Most likely my no.1 sin according to Christianity is I am not looking to multiply.
there is a big difference between being relaxed and confident and being passive.
I agree completely. I am not passive at all. If I enjoy their company I say so. That is how I have gone out with them to concerts, movies, and sporting events. if you want to know about the financial aspects, it is mixed: I’ve paid, they have paid, and we have split the cost. Maybe I am a vary rare individual but I really do prefer conversation over sexual tension.

I get that. I don’t criticize the position, but I do wonder if it is considerate in some situations.
For example you mention the part about checking girls off the list if they don’t grasp that you’re not into them sexually. I think that probably implies that they are there with the intent of finding a partner and not just good conversation. If you weren’t being clear from the outset that you’re not interested in that, then it’s not fair to them especially in a setting where that expectation is implied. If you are being clear at the outset, then there is nothing wrong with them breaking off and moving on to someone else. It’s essentially a waste of their time if they are looking for some sexual or emotional relationship.
That’s more in the obvious settings though like clubs or bars where people go to hook up – or, of course, an actual date where the intent is right out in the open.
That’s what I mean by the failure of culture to really prepare people today anyway for starting relationships. To have one person thinking that this is just a pleasant social interaction and the other intending this to be a prelude to sex or emotional commitment should not be happening.

I wouldn’t call myself asexual but I agree being natural and feeling comfortable is more valuable to me than the intricacies and rules of courtship and sexual tension. I am not actively looking for relationships or sex and it make me much more relaxed than when I was.

You know… normally I would object to this but then something occurred to me…
Over the years, I would post in the thread and so many would disagree with me on points I make. Not just the posters now but here are a few names from the past: RussellH, Parker McCombe, Henry Blanco, Will, T Masters, Johnny California, Craggy, and so many more. Even women like Stephanie (who called me a douche once and gave me the finger) and Sabrina. I figure that they can’t all be wrong. They all apparently see something in my comments I don’t. It is a blind spot for me.
What can I say now? I guess you can say I am being introspective, realizing things now with all this quarantine time. So, I will do better to see other views and perspectives. It is an open forum after all.

You’re free to express your opinions, and others are free to agree or disagree. I think people like and respect you, but sometimes your opinions in this thread, are a bit old fashioned, in the sense that you think people need to behave in certain ways, “be ladylike” etc, and people point that out to you. You don’t have to take their criticism to heart, if you don’t agree.
Many people these days think that they are OK with everybody dressing how they like, however that isn’t absolute. Public nudity for instance is still condemned in most places. And there are lots of little rules and taboos on what to wear in certain cricumstances, for instance men often have to dress in certain formal ways in an office environment etc.

It’s generally not seen as acceptable anymore these days to tell women how to behave in ways that are “ladylike” and might avoid unwanted attention from horny guys, because women have the right to be as promiscuous as they want, and they should be able to trust men not to behave in sexually abusive ways just because they dress a certain way.
It’s a problem. In the UK after that recent murder police told women in London not to go out alone at night which caused an uproar I think. Imagine being told to stay home because there might be perverts out there trying to rape you. It’s infuriating.

To Arjan and everyone else reading this:
I remember it all very well…
There was a book that came out titled Undateable that listed all the turnoffs to women that men do. I posted a small listing in the MW Pub and the thread was popular and got a lot of traffic.
Later on, in the Thought Provoking Thread days, the Relationship Thread was started in the Pub.
In the MW Pub, the thread was getting a little graphic and I said something that women who suck c*ck are undignified and unladylike.
Everyone railed against me: Russell H was livid, Stephanie then called me a douche and gave me the finger, and even the quiet Henry Blanco said I was dead wrong to say it. Will was a mod at the time reprimanded me and I had to back off. Jim O’Hara, who ran MW, then warned me not to get graphic again.
Needless to say, I put my foot in my mouth.So, I kept it all light from then on and used more al-xisms like dating shape, happening guy etc. Of course I would still have my run ins. I said something about women being moody, and Sabrina seemed to come out of nowhere and said: “Who are you calling moody?”
Then there were guys like Parker McCombe, T Masters, Craggy, even Lorcan, and so on. I had no idea what I started and got myself into.So now, this forum is Gareth’s now, and what he says goes. I feel that the Relationship thread is not a one man show. I have no hard feelings about changing the title to The Carrier Relationship Thread, The Happening Relationship Thread, or whatever.
At the end of the day, I have no animosity towards anyone here. I wish everyone well. I realize what I have to work on and recognize my blind spots.
Go in peace.

So now, this forum is Gareth’s now, and what he says goes.
Not entirely, Jim paid for MW and therefore had the final say. This board is run by me but paid for by a group of some of the members (thank for your recent donation by the way Al) so I’ve no real interest in dictating to people what should and shouldn’t be discussed. He was also concerned about Millar’s brand which is nothing we have to care about here.
We just have a certain level of light moderation to maintain some standards and stick to the old rule of not getting into personal attacks and that’s about it.
In fact now we have the infrastructure I’m open for members to use it how they want, if they have a group of friends into photography or stamp collecting and whatever I may not be interested in and want a sub forum for that I’ll set one up.

In this also comes the fact that a lot of what is sexually arousing is also considered taboo. Sorta like the way churches inadvertently teach people what is fun and enjoyable.
This is true, it’s really weird. I sometimes wonder about that. What if all sexual taboos were removed, would sex still be fun? A lot of the fun is in the naughtiness. Remove that and it’s just another bodily function.
I mean, it is physically enjoyable as well if you do it right.

That’s true but I think the whole kink community exists in a kind of synergistic relationship with the taboos we have in society. And I think a lot of people have some kind of kinky element in their sexual psychology.
See, I don’t know if kink is intrinsically linked to taboo. There’s definitely an element of exploring desires that society deems “bad”, but I don’t think that would necessarily go away if the taboo did. Is there any correlation between a decline in people enjoying sex and the general liberalisation of sexual mores over the last 70-odd years, for instance?
1 user thanked author for this post.
-
That’s a good question. I have seen studies that sexual activity among young people has been in decline for the past 20 years, but for a variety of factors. However, at the same time, there hasn’t been a real liberalization of sexual mores for the past 70 years. The majority of people even in nations that are more liberal like the US and many across Europe are no more sexually liberal than they were in the 50’s. Even during the 60’s and 70’s Free Love or Summer of Love periods only reflected the participation of a few young people, and in the 80’s most of those same people were back to Ozzie and Harriet (or “Al and Peggy”) in traditional (a.k.a. unhappy) marriages having no more or more free sex than their parents had in the 40’s (or less even considering how many kids my grandparents had compared to my parents, aunts and uncles
).We talk about sex more openly and tolerate non-traditional arrangements a little better in mostly cosmopolitan areas, but we don’t have sex or pursue it much differently than the past few generations have. I live in the City of Sin (Los Angeles as opposed to Sin City Law Vegas) and in my circle of friends and colleagues and up and down the neighborhoods here, it’s almost entirely traditional relationship. Even same sex couples are fairly traditional in their relationships. As a result, I don’t think the taboos and kinks have really changed especially considering that many cultures in our multicultural society are actually still very conservative when it comes to sex.

There’s something magical about sex, like in a sacred ritual. It is a break from everyday reality. The bedroom is like a holy temple where you share what is intimate and hidden and mysterious. I think if sex becomes too “normal” that does take something vital away from it.
1 user thanked author for this post.

Well, even without getting too spiritual about it, it’s about the most intimate thing two people can do together. Weirdly enough, it is also something you sometimes particularly want to do with a stranger, or even with someone you don’t particularly like. While it is also something very important to people who love each other.
Sex can be many things is what I’m saying, I suppose.

I think the internet must have changed things considerably. With the easy access to any kind of pornography nowadays and the ability to easily connect with like-minded people, I think there’s probably been a considerable change in what is and isn’t considered acceptable.
I’m not saying those things didn’t exist before the internet, but it’s become so much easier to indulge your kinks nowadays that there has to have been a pretty big societal shift. Some of the most popular porn terms searched for on places like Pornhub for instance are related to taboo subjects like incest, and hentai (which regularly features underage or at least young-looking characters.)
If there really has been a reduction in sexual activity in recent years, I’d be willing to bet that doesn’t include masturbation.

That’s probably on the rise.
Yeah, like in the study earlier about declining fertility, there is general scientific consensus that sexual activity between young adults has been on a decline for a while.
The frequency with which young adults have sexual intercourse has declined over recent decades, but the sources of this trend are not well understood. Trends in economic insecurity, relationship formation, parental coresidence, use of electronic media, psychological distress, and alcohol consumption have all been suggested as possible causes.
—
Of the possible explanations considered, the decline in the formation of romantic relationships and decreasing alcohol consumption are the most important, but declining earnings and increasing use of computer games also play important roles. Overall, the measured explanations explain three‐quarters of the decline in young adult sexual activity. Within individuals, forming a romantic relationship, going to college, and alcohol consumption likely have causal effects on the probability of engaging in sexual intercourse.
Why Young Adults, Especially Men, Are Having Sex Less Frequently (healthline.com)
About 1 in 3 men ages 18 to 24 years reported no sexual activity in the past year, according to a new study published in JAMA Network Open.
Between 2000-2002 and 2016-2018, past-year sexual inactivity rose from almost 19 percent to almost 31 percent among men ages 18 to 24, according to researchers led by Dr. Peter Ueda, a postdoctoral researcher at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.
Sexual inactivity among women of the same age remained relatively constant, rising from 15 percent to 19 percent over the same time period.
The study also found that sexual activity declined significantly among men and women ages 25 to 34 years old (7 percent versus 14 percent among men, 7 percent versus 12 percent among women).
Sexual activity did not decline among adults ages 35 to 44 years old. [hard to go below zero
]I’m not saying those things didn’t exist before the internet, but it’s become so much easier to indulge your kinks nowadays that there has to have been a pretty big societal shift. Some of the most popular porn terms searched for on places like Pornhub for instance are related to taboo subjects like incest, and hentai (which regularly features underage or at least young-looking characters.)
However, I think the effect has not changed the nature of the content as much. If you go back and look at the pornography available from the 20’s to the 80’s before the Internet, it has the same (or often better) material. The same kinks were being indulged back then in print and on VHS that people consume today. The context for the material hasn’t changed much from what publishers were selling under the table well before any of us were born. The access is significantly different and absolutely more legal, but what turns people on is not much different for the majority of the population from what it was for our grandparents when they were young.

I tend to think kinks are kinks.
If you are into them or not isn’t hugely reliant on attitudes or accessibility. In the early 90s they used to send a catalogue out in the UK called ‘Transformation’ (despite the title it wasn’t particularly about transgender ideas although they may have included some). They had adult men wearing nappies/diapers, a lot of domination and BDSM stuff. It never floated my boat then and doesn’t now when I could call up that material on a free porn site.
I don’t really get that stuff, I have no desire for candles to be melted on me or stilettos walking over my body, but whether I do or not people have been doing it forever, the very earliest 20th century porn has a lot of spanking and things like that. I’m sure they didn’t invent it but were the first to have a method to record it.
I think that the reduction in actual sex is partly due to the availability of porn. Along with the addition of more distractions. For most people your physical desires are sated at least temporarily by masturbation, porn allows men to do that with women of physical beauty most could never attract in real life. Probably for women too but I can’t say with authority there.

Less alcohol consumption and more time playing computer games – Red Dead Redemption is more attractive than hooking up at a club. Young people these day!
Ironically, people thought videogames would lead to greater sex and violence in society. Both are in decline.

For a moment, I thought Chris Rock and his wife divorced.
A running joke headed by @todd and @njerry
Regarding Chris Rock: Early in his standup career, he used to joke about this scenario of dating and making out with a woman. Things start to get hot and heavy when all of a sudden, she puts on the breaks, says it doesn’t feel right, and asks the guy to stop. Rock would say about how the man is ready but not to stop so sudden. Needless to say, a few women groups complained, the media also gave him flack for it and Chris, reading the room, stopped the routine and changed his material.

While we are on the subject of celebrities:
In the early 2000s Leonardo Dicaprio used to go with a few friends to clubs “Entourage” style. They called themselves The pu**y posse. (You can Google the term and get all these articles about it.)
Now in recent years, he goes out with these young lingerie and swimsuit models and dumps them when they turn 25 or so for another model who is younger, even though he is in his early forties and has a “dad bod”. The models apparently go with him for the press and notoriety, and he… well… I guess they deserve each other.

In contrast, this is Keanu Reeves in recent years:
Granted, she isn’t Victoria Secret material or Instragram hot, but Keanu gets credit and big thumbs up from others.

If you are googling:
Google Tyrese
I have no comment… or words.
