Can Men and Women Be Truly Just Friends?

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.

I have found that when men say that they are unable to find what they are looking for in a woman- they have been the first ones to knock over good women to get to sleezy gold diggers. I hope that doesnt describe you.

Back on topic, i think that men and women can be friends- but it is very rare.

Same applies to women who claim there aren't any good men.

There are plenty of good men out here but unless you're a good woman the two of you will keep evading each other.

I agree with you all the way.

I'm not sure. It could. I have had nice women approach me, but I wasn't physically attracted to them. The women that I have been in serious relationships with were a little too fast for me. My X was a gold digger. I learned the hard way with that one. Now I look at family background. That's priority number one. If her family background is similar to mine, and I find her physically attractive with a good head on her shoulders, then I could see getting involved with a woman like that. The women that I've been involved with and the ones that I keep running into have family backgrounds that are opposite of mine. With that I know I'm not compatible with women like that.
