[QUOTE=kawaiitentaclebeast] Hey, I’m completely non-judgemental and I like to try new things, any of you needy recluse psycho babes want to fool around, PM me. 🙂 [/QUOTE] I’ll bite. My biggest sexual fantasy is for a woman to come to my apartment and take out my trash, cook dinner and clean everything. Oh man, I’d be all in the closet jacking off while you were doing all that. If you ever travel to Bloomington look me up. ---

[QUOTE=BlackKnight] I really don’t think you understood my post. [/QUOTE] I get it. You’ve never had a girlfriend and you’d rather hang out with your two-three friends and not even pursue girls. It’s weird. Most people by their mid-20s have had at least a couple of relationships, even if it was for just a short time. I mean unless you’re out getting mad one-night stand ass but I’m guessing that’s not the case if you’re constantly hitting the porn. ---

[QUOTE=Rigamarole] I don’t know. I don’t think anyone really forms friendships with the opposite sex if they don’t, at least on some subconscious level, want to have sex with them. [/QUOTE] I have numerous friends that, on any level, I have no interest in having sex with. Especially the elderly ones. ---

> [@Rigarmarole](#): > > I don’t think anyone really forms friendships with the opposite sex if they don’t, at least on some subconscious level, want to have sex with them. I think that’s a ridiculously immature and narrow minded assertion. I have many male friends, and if I wanted to have sex with them, I would. If they wanted to have sex with me, I’m pretty sure I’d know that. Do you feel that gay people only pursue friendships with people of their own gender because they want to have sex with them, or is this purely a heterosexual phenomenon, in your opinion? ---

By the way, where are with the squabbling between the genders? Has anything even been solved? It seems to be a lot of venting thus far. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ladies-whats-up-with-the-he-has-no-friends-criticism/357979.md?page=5)
