Can man & woman ever be friends?

well, wat triggered tis thot was an old posting i saw on bm's blog abt fuck buddy.

of course such a controversial topic set off a series of comments. general gist of it tat i got was :

• tis term has been in existent for some time
• as gers get more independent ( marie terms it as "women have evolved" ) , they are able to treat the act of sex without love & purely as fulfilment of physical needs
• even though it lays claim to be "without investment of feelings", one party is bound to be hurt so dun play if u can't afford to

coincidentally, the results of a recent survey abt pre-marital sex was shown on TV tonite. a higher percentage of gers den boys were for it. surprising? hardly,

i oso read an article in a chinese magazine abt one nite stands & women hoo get addicted to it.

i guess my point is, beyond the glossy surface of our "conservative" society, lies decadence & debauchery.

someone commented tat having fuck buddy is like including sex as one of the things tat u do wif ur best friend of the opposite sex, in addition to shopping & dining. which brings us back to the question of : can man & woman ever be just friends?

i am oso tinking along the line of when harry met sally. frankly, i tink man & woman can only be good friends but they can't be best friends unless he's gay or she's lesbian. in my case, i treat my close guy friends as jie-mei which strikes them off the love interest list forever.

how do u draw the line bet buddies & friends tat may develop into romantic interests? i dun tink gers can help falling in love wif a constant guy friend hoo's always there for her.

but fuck buddy should nbr be ur good friend coz it'll onli ruin the friendship. tat's my 2 cents worth on the matter. will oso comment on the book Slightly Sinful tat i read on tis trip which proves tis point. unless u r a character in a trashy novel, such reckless acts of succumbing to physical wants will onli destroy watever friendship or positive feelings 2 ppl had.

ok, i need a distraction after spending the entire day on bintan postings & i haven't finished! anyway, it's late now & i need to sleep if i am to get up in time tomolo so tat's all folks, for yest, sun 20th nov.
