I am no different jason_stl: ... than any other guy out there. In fact, I think I am much worse.
So, I find out this very good colleague of mine just got out of a long-term relationship. She knows I am divorced, about the same age as her, etc., etc.
Knowing all this, and the great body she has, do I do any of the nice guy things? Like tell her she is coping well, offering an ear to listen to her complaints? Nope. I start thinking of how to position myself in her current situation to get a few dates.
Because if my plan comes to fruition then I don't want to be perceived as the "friend". Screw that. I want in as the unobtainable boy toy she has been looking for to help her through her trying time. Nothing serious, just a few nights of sex and then let her move on to her next bf.
Pathetic, I know. But real.
This is a public service announcement for our broadcasting area (plus I wanted to post this for the last few days, but lacked the time/energy to do so).
Also, this serves as notice that most men are scum.

Re:I am no different marfanoidus: Rats, Jason.
Now you've gone and made me have to act.
There have been times that I have rallyhooed things which Jason has said, but I'm forced here to declare my differences from him.
I would never think of treating a woman that way.
Some men are not scum. Some men are good men. Like Jason - you're an awesome fellow, right?? And all this is just a big joke!!
RIGHT!?!?!?!?!
;D

How do you know this is what she has been looking for? How do you know this is what she needs? To me, it's the last thing she needs and you know it.

And what if she doesn't want to move on? What if you end up not wanting her to.
You'll meet your match some day Jason and then you'll be in real trouble ;)

Re:I am no different Shanna: Christy totally covered my thoughts....someday you will get yours. :P
Someone tried to do me like you are thinking of doing her....ended at many year friendship. He thought I needed a F***buddy to help me get over STBX. That wasn't what I needed at all.
Re:I am no different Beren: Whoa, Cristy and Shanna! I think it was all tongue-in-cheek. What Jason's saying, I think, is that he noticed his natural, instinctive tendency, and is now sort of laughing at himself at how stupid and selfish his natural instincts are. At least that's how I read it, because I do the same thing all the time.
Part of the problem is that guys figure out that once you become a friend with a woman, it's d@mn near impossible to switch over to romantic involvement. If we, as men, didn't have that problem, we would have no problems being as supportive and as sensitive as possible because we'd know it wouldn't preclude something else later.
So when a guy's really nice to a woman, it's either that (1) he doesn't have and doesn't foresee having a sexual interest in her, (2) his conscience tells him to "do the right thing," even if it means sacrificing the future, or (3) he just doesn't understand that his new role as Captain Free Therapist is forever.
I'm sure this is a dilemma that women don't understand. They typically don't want to convert friendships to romantic relationships; they like the concept, but in practice, they find Captain Free Therapist unattractive, and in the rare cases where they actually want to, they don't find massive resistance from the men the same way men do from women.
