Opposite Sex Friends

[Cowboyslife]

Can't say I've ever found another man attractive.

See, this is where we disagree. Admitting someone is attractive looking doesn't necessarily have to mean that you are attracted to them. Sometimes it could just be used to make a point, which I believe Dallas here is trying to do.

 

[Dallas]

tl;dr.

If you find them attractive, by definition that means you're attracted to them. End of conversation.

You are truly completely wrong. Saying someone is attractive has NOTHING and I mean NOTHING to do w/ WANTING to "get" w/ them, which is clearly what you meant earlier.

I find many things attractive in life. It's all in ones definition, I suppose.

+5 pts for you for nailing what I meant.

See my edit. A car can be beautiful, but you're not going to take it on a date.

I don't think you "get" this. It's not up for debate. That is the definition of "attractive." If you find someone "attractive" it means that you're attracted to them. This isn't an opinion. It's just a description of what is.

True, so if your friend bought a Bentley and said to you, "man, aint that one sexy car?!!" You're not going to think he's going to get busy with the fuel nozzle would you?

Absolutely not. But if I say, "hey that car is beautiful!" you're going to think that if I had the opportunity and the means, I would own that car.

 

[Cowboyslife]

Absolutely not. But if I say, "hey that car is beautiful!" you're going to think that if I had the opportunity and the means, I would own that car.

But I don't see that in the definition of attractive. Attractive is anything that is pleasing to the eyes and mind, not anything that you want to do it with.

So if I say that girl is beautiful, that means I want to free graze on her open range or I want to purchase her like my last Audi?


If I say Brad Pitt is an attractive dude. I can see why girls like him. That means I WANT to be w/ him?

I guess when you break it down like that theo, I must be gay?

Huh....I never thought myself as gay before.

39 years and I never knew.

Common interests is a cop out, in my opinion. If your interests are generally typical for a man or woman, then one could reasonably expect your friends that share those interests to be of the same sex. I'd be rather upset if my fiancee was going over to some guy's place to watch Jersey Shore at 9PM at night because it was a "common interest" rather than hanging with some girlfriends. Plus, like I said before, I would rather sit and watch some nonsense on Bravo that I don't care about with her because she IS my best friend.

I'd MUCH MUCH MUCH Prefer my girlfriend go to some guy's place to watch crappy TV shows than force me to watch them. It's not even close.

We have shows we both like. We watch them together, it's fun. She doesn't watch shows I love that she hates, and I don't expect her to. I don't watch shows that she loves and I hate, and I don't expect to. So if some straight guy just LOVES Project Runway, then by all means baby, go watch it with him and get it off my TV.

We must be cruel in order to be kind. That's what the poet said. Don't take it too badly .

It means if you had the means and the opportunity, you would want to be more than just friends.

See the car analogy.

Don't be stupid.

You're wired differently from me. There are no circumstances in which I would advocate my fiancee spending time with another man that wasn't a relative. Never.

 

[Cowboyslife]

It means if you had the means and the opportunity, you would want to be more.

Aren't we forgetting about a little thing called self-control? Are you suggesting that all males are natural born cheaters if they're just simply waved on in?

Wow, this conversation has gone way off the mark, but enjoyable nonetheless, truly.

Isn't there someplace where I can cash in on those 5 points you gave me just a moment ago?

 

[theogt]

No, we're not. No one is forgetting about it.

Nope.

I can see how you would think this. But that's only because you've completely misunderstood just about every thing I've said.

This, I can totally understand. That would be just weird.

 

[Cowboyslife]

No, we're not. No one is forgetting about it.

Nope.

I can see how you would think this. But that's only because you've completely misunderstood just about every thing I've said.

If someone had self-control, why then would they want more if the opportunity presented itself and why would they go about seeking it? That's the very definition of lacking self-control.

Considering some of the crap I've seen at Argus parties, I would say so!
