not in my experience. sex isn't driven by love it's driven by lust. I think you're talking long term friends having sex then sure they could be in love, but they could also just be drunk.

or maybe I'm just cynical

i do agree though- if you have a close friendship and are regularly sleeping together there are probably feelings there

Lust is a big part of it..a bit of chicken and egg..which came first?
If love be the end result?

aha- I was talking more about when you're a club and a guy is spinning lines and in your mind you're thinking "'I know what you're doing but hell I feel like kissing someone so I'm just gonna let you think you're 'working your magic'"

man this convo is making me sound like a massive tramp Shocked

I like your style gayb..its legitimate..some guys have really adolescent pick up lines..and their quite funny in the way they go about it..they think they are fooling you..

Like men who cheat on wives and girlfriends ..spin the most lame and stupid bullshit and they think the gf/wife is non the wiser. Wink

A woman can smell a cheat.

That's what I was talking about. You're obviously 20 something Gabriel. It's a Gen X versus Gen Y thing. Gen X are generally more conservative, and most baby boomers used to be more like Gen Y than Gen X when they were younger, but most won't admit to it.

The only thing they smell is their ass cause their head is stuckup it.

My ex always thought I was cheating and I never did. Yes, I had a reputation for being pretty ambivalant and just dating whoever, whenever, on a whim. But then again no woman ever actually appealed to me enough to remain loyal.

That's the thanks I get. Never do a good deed.

Also none of this liberal vs conservative crap. I have female friends, but only cause I'm not sexually attracted to them. I see no reason to pain myself with enduring what I can never have simply to appear nice and non-reactionary.

Women exist for me to sleep with them. There, I said it. If you're not going to sleep with me then you need to get to the bugger away from me. I don't want to be your God-damn friend. I got enough friends, and they suck. I just hangout with them to kill time.

But I still believe there's something left for you and me.

There was a senior executive I knew that had 5 daughters. He said to me, about women 'We think we pick them. We don't son. They pick us.'

NO

Yes but they have to be the ones you friendzone on first sight, which means pretty much I wouldn't touch that, it's not breedable... If there is a hint of sexual interest from the outset, it becomes much harder.

Not quite, there are many that could "pick" me that would not get their wish. It's a two way thing.

Very true also but in terms of the position stated all it means is they they would then pick someone else. The male option is secondary.
