Take a moment to read this...

Now, tell me, is that just the ramblings of a broken-hearted guy - or is it true?

Depends on how you read it, it could be both. I for one think it makes a lot of sense. There are many men who have ended up in that dreaded Friend Zone!

True
This is the theory you are refering to..
Sally: We are just going to be friends, OK?
Harry: Great, friends. It's the best thing...You realize, of course, that we can never be friends.
Sally: Why not?
Harry: What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape, or form - is that men and women can't be friends, because the sex part always gets in the way.
Sally: That's not true. I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.
Harry: No, you don't.
Sally: Yes, I do.
Harry: No, you don't.
Sally: Yes, I do.
Harry: You only think you do.
Sally: You're saying I'm having sex with these men without my knowledge?
Harry: No, what I'm saying is they all want to have sex with you.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: They do not.
Harry: Do too.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
Sally: So you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive.
Harry: No, you pretty much want to nail them, too.
Sally: What if they don't want to have sex with you?
Harry: Doesn't matter, because the sex thing is already out there, so the friendship is ultimately doomed, and that is the end of the story.

If there was no such thing as sex, guys would only hang out with guys.
For the most part, men don't have a lot in common with women, we either pretend we do or we adapt to keep the relationship going. I don't know many men who go to tupperware parties (willingly) and I know fewer women who rush home from work to catch a basketball game. Sure there are exceptions to the rule, but we must generalize.

LMAO....I didn't read all of it but I did get through quite a bit of it....I though it was hillarious....I would say to a point it's probably true, but I also think that you have to take anyone else's opinion with a grain of salt and trust your instincts....I work with mostly men and I'm pretty sure most of them don't want to be my best friend:O)

Basically correct, although it makes it sound a lot more complicated than it actually is.
Women will decide within about 3 seconds of meeting a guy whether or not they want to have sex with him.
If yes, he's in the 'I want him' category.
If no, he may become a 'friend' or whatever but will NEVER be in the 1st category.
Only maybe 1% of women will ever actually admit to this, but virtually all of them do it.
Men have a similar 'ladder' system, but (some, at least) are more likley to 'fudge' the lines if they become VERY desperate.

Very true, but don't forget that even the ones who decide that you ARE a candidate for sex, have a demerit system. From the time you meet until you actually go to bed, everything you say that she disagrees with or that upsets her in some way will be a black mark against your chances. Collect enough demerits and you get tossed in the other group. So the more you smile, listen intently, nod your head, and shut up, the better your shot is. She's made up her mind, don't screw it up.

I totally believe that you can be just friends and no sex, I have quite a few guy pals and no we don't have sex and we don't want to have sex with each other, we are friends. Is it always that SEX is the main issue? Are we not capable of thinking with our heads and perhaps finding something about someone that we like and RESPECT and have no desire to get physical? I think that we are much more developed than that. At least I can hope.
