Men and Women can’t be “just friends!”

If you believe that men and women can be friends, then
you are telling me that you are ready for an overpopulation crisis. Watch out!

The idea behind this statement is gigantic. Having taken a solitude moment to think about this elephant in the house of friendships and relationships, it hit me that both are “ships.” Whichever you choose to travel in, comes with a package of its own challenges and consequences.

They can lead to good and/or bad friendships and relationships or unbearable hardships. For starters, it begins with “just friends,” but the end result entirely depends on you.

Anyway, what is perceived of you when you say, “we are just friends?” Certainly, some will believe you and some will not. This depends on which sex you are-male or female. Between men and women is a discrepancy in perception when it comes to matters friendships and relationships.

Men will want to enter into friendships - yes, but their weakness is that, one thing will lead to another as opposed to women. Women might try and hold onto this theoretic practice by holding back their emotional feelings for men, contrary to what men can do.

Men will want to bang all women except for the family members, who with time will be endangered species. They are sexually attracted to these women thus the prime reason why they approach them in the first place. If they become friends then, he either wants to bang her or she is under age or she has already been banged or she turned down his proposal. Period! 

My hypothesis states that, No man will want to be “just friends” with an ugly-looking woman. This justifies the reason why there are no friendships between men and women. A man will want to enter into a friendship with an attractive woman, and the reason being?

This indicates that men have relatively a hard time to run friendships with their opposite sex counterparts compared to women. Women, believe “just friends” friendships can work, but the unbearable pressure from men who yearn for more lucrative goodies from women, can’t let them have their way. They give in into their demands with the aim of “not wanting to hurt them.”  

When people are good friends, they become fond of each other and in turn become emotionally attached. Then, what happens to this “just friends?” The same. It’s a matter of time before it erupts into a grotesque friendship - a relationship. Men are always quick to express what they feel, be it short lived, or long enough to stay put. This is what I like about being a man.

Women in my closet confessed that, when they were single and felt like they would subscribe to a relationship, they would go for close male friends. This would in turn satisfy their needs because, men are their most appropriate and easy to convince accessories.  

With all said and done, we can all agree that, If we all think like men, there is certainly no “just friends” theory, but if we think like women, probably there is hope to try one!
