So I suppose if you are shy, socially awkward, physically unappealing, eccentric, or you make someone anxious or scared just by being in their presence, you are officially a creep. Oh, and stalker is in there as well.

You weren't attacked for saying that, so cut the drama. What some of us didn't understand was that you complain about not having friends, and not having a girlfriend, yet you don't want friends who are girls. Or that you "had enough of those."

I don't know, not targeting you now about it, because it means diddley-squat to me, but things like that... I don't know, man. An open mind could get a person far in life.

Actually, I believe that I was misquoted, because I said that I have lots of female friends, and I don't need any more friends. Not that it's bad to have another friend, but when I look at you with googley eyes (as in, I want to date you), it's pretty terrible to hear over and over that you just want to be friends with me.

That's all I said.

I hear that. I roll solo these days. Have had girlfriends, a few short flings. I can be as open-minded as the next guy & had a close female friend for years (who was married), but let's face it: Most straight men do not like being stuck in the "friend zone" on a regular basis. To us it means that while we might be nice to talk to, it means that there is something lacking about us. I would imagine it works the same way with some women, though certainly not all.

Every time I see this thread, I have flashbacks to Beavis and Butthead.
