Can Men and Women Be Truly Just Friends?

And like I was brought up to believe, "pretty is as pretty does"...

For instance, you may find some supermodel extremely attractive, but is a mindless brain fart tard.

But a girl you would fail to give the time of day is extremely intelligent, with some clean up, she could be an extremely attractive catch...

I find that many ladies would discount themselves from relationships may have negative attitudes about relational approaches. They blow it with unattractive conversation or aggressiveness in other ways.

So, it really depends on what are you attracted to...

Is your physical attraction purely a body one? Or a stereotypical male image of what a woman ought to look like?

Just asking.

AKA_Monet you make some great points. I see you have a clean mind, I can have an intelligent conversation with you, unlike some of the ladies on GC...if you know what I mean. "The whole kane thing. " But anyway, I agree with you when you say there are some attractive women that are very shallow, and there are some that are very intelligent that are not so attractive, but could use a little fixing up, but I wouldn't want to be with either one of them. I would rather be by myself, though I would never throw away a friend, no matter what she looked like.

I'm attracted to a lot of things in women. My ideal mate is very difficult to find, though I'm sure there are some out there. I'm interested in women that are not only attractive to me, but have different hobbies, can talk about world events and current world issues. Not saying she has to know everything that goes on in the world, b/c I don't know everything, but I have to be able to have a conversation with her about some of the issues. The whole body thing? I have my preferences, just like any other man, but for the most part my ideal mate is very, very different from what I've been exposed to. Times have changed, but some women have not, they're just really hard to find, not that I'm looking, I just haven't run into the woman that I would be compatible with.
