What if a girl doesn't get her nails done? Like me.
Does that mean I can't have a BFF?
Heaven forbid you don't get mani/pedis and shop for shoes and gossip!!!

So stereotypical.

Eh, I think she got it all wrong. Chris Rock was the one that had the right idea:

"MEN do not have women friends...just friends they haven't f**** yet! Ahh, I'm stuck inside the friend zone!"

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?

i honestly believe, and this is my feeling only- but-


when a straight man wants to befriend a straight woman

or

when a straight woman wants to befrend a straight guy

SOMEONE has feelings...

i can guarantee you that one of those in the friendship would be willing to sleep with the other

whether that feeling is out in the open or not, one person has/had feelings

She's a "comedian." I say comedian in quotation marks because I find her to be entirely not funny.

I've always related better to male friends, but after high school and college I found it became too difficult to have really close platonic friendships with men. One of 4 things always happened:

- the guy ended up having feelings for me that I didn't return
- I ended up having feelings for the guy that he didn't return
- someone I was dating felt jealous/threatened by my friendship with the guy
- someone the guy was dating felt threatened/jealous by his friendship with me

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?

My BF is my best friend! I can't see myself having ever having any other male best friend..someone that I was not dating. I think it would work if I were single but obviously things would change when you start dating someone.
That's how I feel anyway..

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?

My husband is my # 1 best friend.


My mom is my # 2 best friend


My (gay) male friend is my # 3 best friend.


They are all different and have all come with me to get my nails done.......



So even though I LOVE LOVE LOVE Chelsea, she is kinda wrong on this one.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?

agree and disagree

I've been best friends with a guy since 5th grade. We've dated here and there but have always remained the best of friends. If I ever needed a thing, he'd drop anything he was doing to be there. He gets along great with DH, I LOVE his wife. SO in this sense, I disagree with her

but. . .

My best guy friend in college. . .OYE!! Oye! Oye! We stopped speaking for a bit b/c of feelings we had for each other at one time or another. He was a huge part of my life being just friends was hard for us.

SO I think in the end it just depends on who it is, who you are.

IMO guy relationships and girl relationships will always be different. You can't compare them.

Personally, I can't picture myself having a male BFF - BUT I think different people have different definitions of what being a "best friend" means. Your BFF doesn't HAVE to be someone who goes and does girly stuff with you... not all women are into that. So I disagree.



Ditto... thats HER definition of a BFF...




could not agree more

My DH is my best friend -- no one understands me like he does, no one makes me laugh like he does... I can talk to him about anything and everything. So yes, I think a man can be your best friend.



Same for me. Before DH & I even started dated, many moons ago, we where BFF first. Have I had female best friends in the past? Yes. Have they all turned on me? Yes. The only person until this day that I can tell everything & anything to is my DH & not because he is my husband but because he is my best friend.

IMO Chelsea Handler is not all she is cracked up to be. Her "My Horizontal Life" book was a lite read book once in my book club & I personally found it to be an absolute disgrace. After that I can not take anything that she says seriously.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?

I totally disagree. For ME - I personally have 2 very close friends who are guys. One is married and I'm also close with the wife and consider her to be a good friend - I was so happy when he told me he found the one. The other is single. To me they are like my brothers (I'm an only child) and they are both also close with my DH. I don't think I could if I tried - see either one as anything other than a brother.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?

My BFF was a guy. We had been friends since sophomore year in HS. I knew he originally befriended me because he liked me but I only liked him as a friend. Over the years, we became very close. He was my "man of honor" at my wedding, we'd give each other relationship advice, etc. A few years ago he met a really nice girl, I was a BM in their wedding. Once the wedding rings were exchanged, though, he dropped off the face of the earth. I don't know if its because she was jealous and made him stop talking to me or if the role of friend/confidante I played in his life was now being filled by his wife.

I Agree.

When a man meets a new woman he will only pursue a friendship if he wants to get her in bed OR genuinely likes her.

If the woman is not interested in any sort of relationship then the male has to decide if he wants or does not want an actual friendship.

IMO.
