Have any of you guys heard of ladder theory?
Part of it is that guys have one "ladder" for female friends (girls they'd like to fuck) while girls have two (guys they'd like to fuck and the dreaded "friend" category). So, basically, a guy will never actively engage in friendship with a girl without also wanting to fuck her.
This is a little bleak and depressing, but I think it's true. Personally, I know I try harder to spend with girls that I find attractive (vs girls I don't find attractive), and I see other guys acting in the same way. I don't think any straight guy anywhere has a friendship with a girl with no sexual undertones (this makes me wonder about a few of my friends that happen to be gay... hmmmm).
We also manipulate/maneuver social situations to get closer to the ladies... that's pretty obvious, though.
For example, I ended up with the friends I have now partly (not entirely, but it helped) because I was chasing a girl (who I never got, but I'm still friends with her...). I really feel like a complete asshole for writing that last sentence, but it's true.
So I think you guys should go out there and speak your minds. It might mean drama down the line, but who cares? If you break up and "stay friends," a) it was probably her idea and b) you'll still want to fuck her, so things never really changed, did they? And if you end up being the one to break it off, you'll probably wonder why you liked that bitch in the first place. Geez.
