I have some who are just friends and will always be that way even though I may want more. You are ugly to them

I have some who are just friends who used to be GF's or that I have dated before.One of you has moved up the ladder. Probably her.

I have some who are just friends right now but who knows about the future.Already friends?...... future not so bright

1 - No they are not ugly.
2 - No. Things are much more complex than that.
3 - Uhm...no again.
4 - You have no idea what you are talking about.

the first three i can't judge...the fourth, he may be close...how many times have you gone from friend zone to relationship...sure you may fool around a bit at some point in time, but relationship? not likely from my personal experience

They can provided one of them is really ugly (relatively). If it happens to be the girl though the answer is probably still no........

That is not true. Several of my friends are quite attractive physically.
All that means is that you are the ugly one.


or you lack money/ power.

You are a fool. Some may not find me attractive, true. But there are some who while physically attractive, I am not attracted to them in a relationship sense due to personality or other factors which are more important than phsyical appearance.

Several times. Most recently the relationship lasted about 2 years.

I have experience and from that experience I have concluded that all this ladder bullcrap is just that.

You are the exception to the rule. :roll:

Why were you "just friends" to begin with?

No, not a fool. I've just been playing this game for ~20 years and I'm honest with myself/ others.

Sometimes I prefer to get to know someone first. Or other times I meet someone while I am already in a relationship.

Well then don't assume you know about me then. If you have to put up with the whole ladder crap I feel sorry for you.

I've run into some of it, true enough. But it is not so prevalent...maybe due to my area but I dunno..I haven't had trouble with it.

It is not possible.

I've had many close female friends, but now that I think of it, only one had been totally platonic - and that's because I'm married. If I wasn't I'd be all over her like a cheap suit.😱 As it is, we just flirt a little and enjoy each other's company on that level. Sometimes just having a crush is enough.
 
The three female friends I have right now all women I would sleep with in a heartbeat if given the chance but circumstance won't allow it for now.

If you're straight and there's a girl in your life that you consistantly talk to as a friend there is SOME point where you've wanted to bang her. If not, you are gay. Not a slight on gay people, it's just the truth.
 
oh yes definitely. i get along with women great.

i have several good buddies that are chicks. my wife is cool with it. she has friends that are guys, it's all good.

this is beside the point but last week in the lunch room one of the tables was missing, so all the women were sitting at the "guy's table". only, i was the only guy at work that day. so there were four of them and me, chatting the lunch away. after about five minutes i said, "wow i feel like i'm a guest on The View" and everyone LOLed. good times.

true even if they are ugly, there had to be a party here or there where you just "needed some" and stuff happens. hehe......ofcourse you regret it later.
 
I have more girl-friends than I do guy-friends...

My fiance doesn't care, and there has never been the slightest suggestion of a problem...

Oh man, don't even get me started there. I was at a friends place once and pretty tore up. We were playing video games all night when this chick came over that he met on the internet. Well, he didn't like her, so I tried to put the moves on her. My friend kept saying that I should leave it alone, that I'd regret it in the morning, but I wouldn't listen.


Luckily, she was a "good girl" and wasn't drunk enough herself to give it up, because the next day I saw her with sober eyes and I swear she looked like Marylin Manson.

I just remmeber saying "Oh my God, please tell me I didn't" and my friends started crying they laughed so hard.

Poor lighting and alcohol are not a man's best friends!

Lesson here: "Good friends don't let friends bang ugly chicks!"
 
Yes, there is this lady I dated years ago but things did not work out. Now we meet about once every two week for coffee, chat on the phone often.
