Do women want straight male friends?

Oh God, yes, women want straight male friends!! I've got more male friends than female ones - like a family of protective 'brothers' and I don't know what I'd do without them. \n\nIf you want to take a relationship further, though, you could always say, look, I like being your friend, but is there any chance you might come out with me for dineer/coffee/cinema/a drink sometime on our own?  Cos I'm guessing that you usually see females in company at work or socially.  If she's a friend to you already, she won't want to hurt your feelings and hopefully will turn you down gracefully, if that's the way it goes.  Then you haven't lost a friend, you've made her feel flattered (unless you are utterly repulsive - which you're not, are you!), and you never know, she might say to you some day after she's thought about it for a while, is that offer still open?  Then you can take it from there....

Absolutely not!  My female friends give me a perspective of life I cannot get from guys.  I am attracted to intelligent women who are interested in more than who's the current hot celeb, or who's with who - who's dumped who.  Getting fresh views of the war, the economy, ethics ... it's very refreshing getting a women's view of the world.

Yes, some gay men are willing to be with straight men. Others aren't, preferring to look for a future relationship which is almost discounted out of hand with a self-identified straight man.\n\nYour first time is dependent on what you want to do and how far you want to go. If you are looking just to hook up, try CraigsList in your area, Men looking for Men.

That my friend is the question that men have been trying to answer since the beginning of time. There is no one answer. In my experence, I have learned to be considerate, thoughtful, funny, and to show respect. I would imagine it is the same traits that you would and should expect from her. Oh ! and a little advice to help you through life. "The Woman ALWAYS Picks".

Some women flirt with gay guys because they know it's "safe" and they think nothing will ever come of it.  It is unfair to mess with your head.  But a true friendship can balance on the edge of a physical relationship, no matter the claimed sexual preferences.  There could be some truth to the fact you feel some "soul" connection to her...I believe strongly in these things.  A  relationship from a former life, if you believe in reincarnation this can be possible (soul mates).  Keep it casual, because it can be fun.  If it gets serious to the point of a possible sexual encounter, she will back away or not.  If you are open, let it happen....it could be the beginning of a wonderful relationship of just friends.  I believe, if she thinks she will get hurt, she will back out.  Do remember hearts are on the line, yours and hers, and many times sex can ruin a good relationship.  Communicate with her all your feelings and you can seldom go wrong.  Good luck.

No.  As long as they weren't being offensive in what they said when gossiping to others about what they believed my sexuality to be.  Most of my Friends are pretty straight shooters.  We try to not gossip over much about things concerning the group.  We tend to circle the wagons.  if she or he WERE malicious in their commentary, I would be offended by the way they talked.  Not by what they said.  And no...I'm not gay.  I'm Italian and Irish.  Very passionate people.  We do alot of hugging.  Way touchy feely races of people I come from.  Could be mis-construed.  I've had a number of gay woman come on to me.  lol   I take it as compliment, but don't take them up on the offer.  :)

It was never meant to be that way. You will never find a "normal" guy who says he wants to just be friends with a woman by way of a platonic relationship. However I have heard women say that. Whether they are lying or not, I don't know. If a man says it, he is lying! When a woman starts revealing her personal feelings about things in her  life to her supposed platonic male friend, he either wants to do one of three things. He wants to either protect her, take advantage of her while she is in her weakness, or tell her to shut the hell up with her constant whining! Too much hormonal interference going on!\n    As a man, I am telling you the truth. That is why I avoid platonic relationships with women. I know my own limitations.  Besides that, I am married and my wife doesn't go for that stuff! By the way ladies, are women lying when they say that?

Absolutely.  I'm male and straight, and all my best friends are female.

Hell yes.. I've have been friends with 2 guys from the time we were 6 years old.. and it's always been just that a good friendship. \n\n(they are not gay or anything.. they are great guys)

Not always. I think the reason alot of gay guys hang around women because they are generally more accepted by women. Men tend to be more homophobic.

If you've not really been out on the scene then you are probably unaware that there are many feminine gay and bi-sexual women around (I am one of them). It's perfectly normal to only find fems attractive and so I wouldn't worry about this at all it's just personal preference. Don't listen to those having a go on here, it doesn't sound to me like you are preying on these girls but merely that you find them more attractive than what you see as obviously gay girls...and that's fine. Try to get out to gay pubs and clubs more and you will see that gay women come in all descriptions and not just your stereotypical "butch". Straight girls are often experimental with one another and from my own experience this is not a route that a gay or bi girl should follow. They may flirt with you or even snog you but they will never want a relationship with you and so if that's what you want I suggest you go and find it (with a feminine gay girl). Good luck.

What a ridiculous theory with gaping holes.\nSome straight women like gay men\nSome straight men like lesbians\nSome gay men like straight men\nSome lesbians like straight women\n\nOpposites should attract? Magnets do but we are humans and the year is 2006.

Well I'm one of those fags (bundle of sticks)!!  The girl sounds awesome by the way, and I just want to ask you (since your obviously an expert when it comes to woman...so not!) do you know the real reason why straight girls associate with gay men?  They know that a real man is secure in his manhood to not get hung up on the whole "who she hangs out with" concept.  That may however be to hard for your pea size intelect to wrap around so looks like there is just no hope for you.  This girl is just way to much of a woman for you to handle so I would just leave her to the professionals, and step aside cause your a being a road block.

No. not at all. I sometimes see some women in the street  who are attractive and I'm thinking "oh she's cute, if I was a guy I would definitely try talk to her," and I'm not gay. To me, in order for a person to be categorize as being "Gay" he/she would have to be sleeping with the same sex. so again chica, you're straight.
