Carolyn (Masterpiece),
Don't get it twisted....I don't CRAVE new female friends. All I was asking is if it's possible for men and women to just be friends, and then went into my experiences.
I am perfectly happy where I am now with the friends that I have. But since this is a discussion board, I brought the topic of friendship between a man and woman up for discussion. My bad if I gave the impression that I was on the hunt for a woman; that wasn't my intention.
CrimsonTide,
You are absolutely right. Some wives can't handle her husband having female friends. But my wife isn't one of those. I have kicked it with females before that I knew from my college days (watched the last Tyson fight with one) and there were no problems at all.
Personally I think it is healthy for men and women to be friends, just as it it healthy for men to have their boys (and me, my bruhs) as it is for women to have their girls.
The word friend itself is derived from some Old English words (I think) freo and freon. The former meaning free, and the latter meaning love.
How many folks in here can actually say they have a person of the opposite sex (heterosexual), not related to or married to or involved with, that they are free to be themselves with and really love???? No sex or nothing ... just chillin'.
As a man of Omega, I know ALL about friendship (FIETTS). More about it than most people ever care to contribute thought to.....
So why is it so easy to apply the principle to folks of the same sex, but not of the opposite?
ROOOOOO
