Utter bravo sierra. As I said in the previous thread, I have friendships with many women, including a regular riding (bicycle) partner. Even if you’re single, just because you find a woman attractive doesn’t necessarily mean that you’d ruin a friendship by bringing sex into it. Men and women can most certainly be friends. Hell, I’m very close friends with a woman that I’ve known for 32 years, that started out as a teenage crush. Neither the closeness nor the beginning as an adolescent crush has ever impaired our friendship.

Then all I can say is that I tip my hat to the both of you. I guess you are able to compartmentalize your emotions in a way I simply can not. You see, the more I like a woman the more I want to have sex with her. Because I like her so much. And I've been married for 20 years. I guess I know my limits and stay within them.

Exactly. I got one female friend I’ve had for 15 years. She’s hot. Smokin’ hot and I tell her so alot. But I don’t want her. For some reason it stops at friends and I really don’t want to go there.

Got alot of females friends and have had so all my life. It does get tougher as you get older and they’re all married. I’ve just learned I got to be a bit cold these days and keep an extreme distance.
