I was going to write on this, but Steve Harvey sums it up exactly how I would have written it, from a MAN'S point of view. Ladies, unless your male friend happens to be GAY, this observation is a fact about 99% of the time. It is another one of those things that make men and women different. ENJOY!
Women are soooo naive when it comes to this subject. "oh don't be silly, he don't like me like that". Yeah right! He would jump your bones in a heartbeat, given the chance.
Just like you said, if given the chance.I believe men aren't as secure with their women having male friends, but they don't see it the same way, when it comes to them having female friends. Girlfriends, see it the same way as you men do, but when we see a problem we're just jealous. Get outta here with that. If you can entertain an old female friend, why can't we? Especially, men who've talk to past girlfriends, saying they were just calling for a reason that's not pertaining to them, but just wanting to talk about someone else, who you both know.Are you men that naive?? You the only person, that they can get in touch with that knows that other person? But you become mad when your woman, does it.

Is this why they are so nice to me at work....I thought they just thought I was a nice person...SMH!! I have mixed emotions now....but I wouldn't dare hang out with dudes like that. I am sure my boo would not approve...:) It's funny because us women certainly are leery of women that claim to be our man's BFF's (Brown Sugar...nuff said)!!!
Ladies not only is this true for us, but its also true for men. Im single and I have males friends, so today I put the question out there to a few of them. I received the response exactly as the blog and Steve said. The few that I asked, they all said that they would date me given the opportunity. Men and woman alike if you are in a relationship, your friends should not be of the opposite sex. I put it to the test today and the answers were unanimous. Dont bring the unecessary stress or drama into your lives, it is not worth it!
I'm a female and did not need Steve Harvey or anyone else to sum this up. It's a very true fact that your non-gay male friends, if given the opportunity, would date, swing with, get down with, lay with, smooch with, sleep with, YOU and cross that "just friend" boundary. But it is up to the woman to control/orchestrate these boundaries. A man cannot cross those boundaries unless you/the woman allows him to. But suppose he does so without your authorized consent? Well then he's the one to cut off all communication with. It doesn't mean you can't have male friends, just know that you hold the key/reigns/doorknobs to whether or not they remain just your friend or whether or not they have enough respect for you to stay in their place.
No comment; and, I wouldn't dare poll my male "friends" for fear of the answer. SMDH
ReplyDeleteI try to tell my "lady" this all the time.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking from a man's point of view, I know this to be 100% true!

ReplyDelete@Dee, I agree
ReplyDeleteThis is why my girl won't let me have female friends.
