I've been thinking about this. I really don't have any
close male friends. Never really did.
Before marriage, If I met a guy outside of work or class project, I either dated him or never got to know him to the point that I would call him a 'friend'. Never kept in touch with any past boyfreinds either. I didn't date anyone I worked with. Definately flirted with lots though !!
Since being married the only men I have regular contact with are those I see daily thru work, or in my social circle.
Work: I am friendly (occasionally flirtatious) with men at work, but don't do anything outside of it wiht them, so I wouldn't call them a
friend.
Socially: Either they are the husband/SO of someone I or my husband know, thus they are a friend by association, but not primarily MY friend. I don't know any single guys well enough to call them a friend. I definately flirt with several of my husbands friends, and they back.
I'll probably get grilled about this when DH reads this post, but at any given time I have had sexual thoughts at least once, if not multiple times about pretty much any guy I meet. (Unless of course they are really ugly or creepy.) It just may be a quick "Damn, nice calves...yum" to a full blown "Wonder what he'd be like in bed (or on the bar, or )" complete with visualiztion.
You'se guys here are the closest thing I've got to male friends, and frankly I've flirted with most of you at one time or another. And, yes, definately been attracted to lots of you at one time or another.
Sexual tension and flirting is fun, even when two parties know they wouldn't act on the exchanges.
My husband had lots of female friends when we met, and none of them were ugly...I know he'd of gladly messed around with any of them. Anytime I introduce him to a new female aquaintence, I can see him checking her out, and the little wheels in his head turning. I know that he has sexual thoughts about pretty much anyone with two X chromosomes. Pure male he is
