(Montreal-Gazette) – It’s long been established that men and women can be friends. But a new study suggests the more compelling question is: Should they? Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire plumbed the opposite-sex relationships of more than 400 adults, ranging in age from 18 to 52, and found attraction was both common and potentially costly. “Attraction in friendship is happening, and it’s persistent,” says lead author April Bleske-Rechek, associate professor of psychology. “I’d venture to say, based on all our data, that in the majority of (opposite-sex) friendships there’s at least a low level of attraction. And if it’s coming more from one friend than the other, it’s probably the guy.” In that study, men reported more attraction to their female friends than women did to their male friends; men overestimated their friend’s level of attraction to them, while women underestimated attraction; and men reported a stronger desire to date their friend than did women.
I will never understand where schools get funding to do this. Colleges across the country are cutting programs and sports teams like they’re a fingernail. But they have no problem handing out God knows how much money to the psych department, to figure out if guys want to fuck the chicks they hang out with? It’s asinine. Yes, guys want to fuck the girls they hang out with. They want to fuck their female teachers. They want to fuck that chick they just walked by on the street. I don’t want to pull the “it’s in our DNA” card, but it’s in our DNA. Guys don’t hang out with chicks just to hang out with chicks. We have literally nothing in common. It’s almost impossible to pretend to be interested in what a girl is saying for 10 minutes to at the bar to try and fuck her, let alone for an entire “friendship.” Bottomline is that if any guy ever says something like “ugh no I would never do that, she’s like my sister” when you ask him about fucking a friend, then he’s probably gay. No other reason to watch the Notebook and talk about her guy trouble while you hold in farts all night unless you’re looking to get your dick sucked
