“We’re just going to be friends, ok?”“Great! Friends, best thing.”
“You realize of course that we could never be friends.”“Why not?”
“What I’m saying is – and this is not a come-on in an way, shape, or form – is that men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.”
“That’s not true.  I have a number of men friends and there is no sex involved.”“No you don’t.”“Yes I do.”“No you don’t.”“Yes I do.”“You only think you do.”
“You’re saying I’m having sex with these men without my knowledge?”“No, what I’m saying is they all want to have sex with you.”“They do not.”“Do too.”“They do not.”“Do too.”“How do you know?”
“Because no man can be friends with a woman he finds attractive.  He always wants to have sex with her.”
“So you’re saying  that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive.”
“No, you pretty much want to nail’em too.”
“Well what if they don’t want to have sex with you?”
“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.”
“Well, I guess we’re not going to be friends then.”“Guess not.”“That’s too bad.  You were the only person that I knew in Strangetown.”
