Joking aside, there is - I don't play any games unless the rules are agreed upon before hand.

After that, watch out. Wink Being a sub doesn't mean I don't like watching someone practically whine like a dog in lust.

Actually, yes, there is.

There are some stories I can tell on that subject, comical in retrospect.

I have female friends. But they are all friends by association. For example, wives of male friends. Or my wife's female friends.

I can be friends with them because there is a moral boundary in the way that I will not cross, and so I never allow myself to even view them as a possible partner. However I couldn't imagine being friends with some random female, nature is nature.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

Out of curiosity: do you have any sisters?

Kind of ironic that you start out by saying that your position is weird, and then that any man who has female friends is either a liar or gay. I think this is insulting to women and even more insulting to men to say that they are all so immature they can't get over their attraction to women to see the person underneath and be friends with them.

Moreover, there are some cases when you're friends with someone from the beginning, with no sexual attraction whatsoever. Just because you are a man it doesn't mean you are sexually attracted to every woman you see.

I can't be "just friends" with women, because I usually end up sleeping with them. I have lesbian friends, and I'm pretty sure I've tried it on with all of them too. I have also fallen victim to misreading the signals and thinking a female friend is interested, only to find that she is not. Sad Typically, they were always the ones that I wanted to sleep with the most. Damn my luck!
