Unpopular opinion:
Men and women can’t just be friends; the sex part always gets in the way.
If you’re married, you don’t need opposite sex friends.

I know that whenever I interact with a member of the opposite sex for more than ten minutes, I have a sudden and irresistible urge to fuck them. That’s why, if I every get married, I’ll wall myself off from all contact with anyone of the opposite sex. My partner will presumably love that.
And yet, men and women manage to be friends, every single day, around the world. Denying your own eyesight is no way to find the truth, dearie.
If you think every man you talk to will inevitably want to have sex with you then I might suggest, ma’am, you get over yourself and maybe stop projecting your own libido and implicit lack of restraint or fidelity onto others. Or conversely your partner’s fears and insecurity. Either way cutting contact with half the human race for such a ludicrous reason is not exactly the act of someone of sound mind or stable emotional health.
Your alleged children are not going to have a very happy childhood, and it will be especially weird for them when you make assumptions about what they’re doing with any of their friends.
“Unpopular opinion:”
A few years ago i’d have been sure it was unpopular because it was so horribly wrong. after this election cycle, wrongness turns out to be plenty popular.
“Men and women can’t just be friends; the sex part always gets in the way.”
This is only true between two people when only one is attracted to the other. The ‘friend zone,’ which means involuntarily denied sex.
If, however, you’re not expecting the relationship to blossom into heavy petting, you’re not friend-zoned, you’re just friends.
“If you’re married, you don’t need opposite sex friends.” I am married. I’m far too lazy to have an affair. All the lying and hiding? Spare me. I also could not do my job if i had to maintain a wall between me and any coworker i need to work with.
My wife taught high school for 17 years. She found it quite easy to be friendly with students-she’d-never-fuck, and fellow-teachers she’d-never-fuck. I can’t imagine how difficult it must be to have to depend only on the straight males at a job, in fear that the females, or gays, might be open to advances I’M NOT GOING TO MAKE.
And there are three transgenders in my group at work, or in a group adjacent to mine. How do you deal with that? Break off a friendship when they change? Avoid all contact UNTIL they change?
Again, too lazy to keep a rolodex. I’d rather make friends with th ecooperative people, and refuse to talk to to the idiots. Because…idiot.
Not gonna fuck them, either.
Confused?
