Being Single but enjoy female companyI agree with both of you. It is the same in the States. Whether it's online or in a Meetup group. The men that seem more decent just hang around with each other, apparently not knowing how to approach a women for conversation. It reminds me of Jr. High. Others, come up with some offensive line, which I never even understand is their way of trying to talk to me, until later when some other woman tells me it is. But, honestly, I wouldn't want to talk with those men anyway. That's why I only seek friendship, but, that doesn't seem possible.ViewDate:

Being Single but enjoy female companyI think that is a pleasant thing. Personally, I think we all need and benefit from friendships with the opposite sex, though it never works for me. I think it's good to just be natural and take things slow to get to really know a person in different environments. Even for friendship, it helps you know whether or not you would want a particular person as a friend.ViewDate:

Friendship between the sexesThanks Treehugger1. I think that counts. It sure doesn't seem possible for me. It makes sense to me, because we each can benefit from the other's perspective, and we each can have skills that can complement. But I joined a Meetup group here in the Midwest U.S. called friendship network, and after four and a half years I still have no male friends. I want some buddies that I can hang out with occasionally, and get advice from, and give advice to. It would have been really nice if one of them would have gone with me when I bought my car. That was very stressful for me. But none offered. The same thing happened to another female friend in the group who actually asked some of the men for help. One sent her some websites, but I was the only one that drove an hour in a snow storm to go with her. They only seem concerned with getting dates, but then none of them can maintain a relationship. Maybe it's not me after all, now that I think about it. Maybe they just don't know how to connect in a meaningful way. One guy I thought was going to be a good friend. He offered to be my wing man, but I would have to find someone I was attracted to for that to be useful, and actually have the desire to be married again. I would prefer a few solid friendships over a second marriage I thinkViewDate:

Friendship between the sexesArchieUK, I would like to think you are right about the possibility of friendship between men and women. But, it hasn't been my experience so far. I fear Yodama's post might be closer to reality. It's interesting to see that you feel men are afraid of gold-diggers. I'm sure it happens, but I have had many men target me as a widow for scamming purposes, because apparently they believe widow equates to desperate and stupid. I was hoping for legitimate friendship.ViewDate:

Friendship between the sexesThat's sad to hear. I'm widowed, not sure that I want to start over with another marriage. I value a male perspective and companionship at times. I'm not looking for a relationship, but a friendship. I'm slow to learn I guess, but I'm getting the impression that you might be right. So, it's be devoid of any male interaction if I don't meet someone I want to marry?ViewDate:

Finding the right senior chat room for youWhat's a fly a flight? I have a I have a Tortoise Shell cat. I don't know, somehow that just strikes me as funny. You have a cat and a tortoise. Does your cat like to knock things off surfaces? The one I just got does it all the time. It drives me nuts. I never had one like this before.ViewDate:

Finding the right senior chat room for youHi, I'm a 63 year old widow who has been widowed for 10 years. I live in the Midwest U.S. For four and a half years, I have been a member of three single Christian Meetup groups. I would love to have made some male friends. I would like to hear opinions on the possibility of this. I have not made one trustworthy male friend. Is this really not possible? I enjoy male friendships. I suppose if I had met anyone the right age who appealed to me, I would have been open to getting to know them on a deeper level, but I didn't. I just value male companionship and perspective from time-to-time. I've had a couple of almost friends, but they never lasted. I think of a friend as someone I can depend on, and they me. Am I just being really stupid here? Thoughts on this would be appreciated, especially helpful, would be the male perspective. Thanks.
