But so what? We also see attractive women walk past us on the street every day. We don't feel compelled to pursue them. Why should we feel compelled to pursue out female friends?

Guys just need to grow up. If you think your female friend is hot, but she's not interested, that settles it. Leave it alone. Just be her friend.

It really hurts when you lose someone you thought was a friend because he gets harsh and cold when you can't think of him as anything more.



I do wonder how much this has to do with the experiences people have with the opposite sex growing up, ect.

Does a man have a sister or mother he loves and can talk to?

Did the woman have an opportunity to make friends with males as a teen?
