Shocking study suggests men want to sleep with their female friends

A groundbreaking study indicates that men are more likely to find their female friends sexually attractive than vice versa. Additionally, it demonstrates that they have more faith in how their female friends see them.
Researchers asked 88 pairs of male/female friends to rate how sexually attractive they found each other *bow chicka ow ow*. They also asked them to hypothesize how their friends would rate them. The results are astounding.
Men - whether they were attached or single - were more likely to harbour an attraction to their female friends and want to go out with them than the other way around.
The men also assumed that the women were more sexually interested in them than they actually were - and the women tended not to realise this.
Basically, the ladder theory is real. If Nora Ephron were here, she'd say, "I told you so." [Telegraph]

Yea, what a shock.— ToxicLogik- Right...this is common sense. The only part that is shocking is how clueless women are about it.
It is in our DNA to mask our emotions. The only time we don't are around family, and women.
As long as we are physically attracted to a woman, we are game. Add any type of emotions in there and of course that is going to increase.
Women can separate their emotions from attraction, but we will even lower our physical expectations when we bond with a woman, because that bond is attractive to us, because it's a much more particular and rare thing when compared to women. Women can embrace those emotions with anyone at any given time.
That's my two cents, any way...— MFPhils - Why is Macaulay Culkin's picture here? Does he have a crush on Meg Ryan?— everydayguy

- Groundbreaking...? This brought to you by the guys from Big Bang Theory... no practical experience with women.— CA Scum
- As a man I can honestly say that I couldn't disagree more with this study's findings, and my boyfriend would disagree too if his mouth wasn't full wink wink, the big silly goose...— King of the Terds
- The Culkin pic is there to emphasize that grown men who have sleepovers with little boys what to do more than sleep.— towman
- Although the result of the study is pretty predictable, it should be said that 88 pairs of people proves absolutely jack squat.— cloudkitt
- This is shocking to who?— votelibertarian
- truly "ground breaking"...— Some Dude
- And in other breaking new discoveries... THE SKY IS BLUE!— chopperdaddy
- Harry Burns: Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her.
>
Sally Albright: So, you're saying that a man can be friends with a woman he finds unattractive?
>
Harry Burns: No. You pretty much want to nail 'em too.
This is not news. When I was single, I slept with almost every one of my female friends. They could have paid me $50.00 and I would have told them everything that was in this ridiculous report. Jeez....- fact: straight men want female friends because they are either interested in that female or a friend of that female.— palmyra21
- I hope my female friends don't read this article.— Phillies2008WSChamps

— nuggett - CORRECTION: we want to sleep with our female enemies too.— EmanuelP
- I know, for me, that when I meet a woman for the 1st time, there's a binary reaction: 0- I don't want to have sex w/her 1- I want to have sex with her. That's it...And that reaction determines how I interact with her, whether at work, social gatherings, neighborhood functions,etc. When I was single, I acted upon those first impressions. Now married, I don't , but it's always there on my mind.
I do find as I age, I'm less selective and there are fewer 0's and more 1's, but it doesn't really matter anyway.— Polecat_39 - And why is the shocking? This has been true ever since women entered the workforce. That's why it's a really bad idea to have women on the front lines of combat. Our soldiers would have other things on their minds besides trying to take out the enemies. I can imagine a male and female soldier humping in a foxhole with bullets whizzing by and bombings going off.— drjk888

- straight men don't have female friends on purpose. it always starts out as a girl you're trying to smash and then you accidentally get stuck in the "friend zone". but that doesn't mean you still don't have those urges. you just lost the chance.— Ryan

...WATER IS WET...Details at 11.— Cuddles- They took down Macauly's picture and replaced him with someone who lookms like he's eating out at the Y.— towman

- My wife doesn't allow me to have any female friends under 200 lbs.— Niko
- depends on what the friend looks like in my book. and i must say that i've been in the reverse situation, where the woman wanted to give me some and i had no clue. oh those were the days.— black dog
- I hope taxpayers paid millions for this study because it's important and no one knew this information before. In other news...recent study shows the sun is very bright.— warrentheape
- Why is this a top story. IS THIS A JOKE?— Yohanna
- MIKE BERTHA. Please tell us the headline for this "piece" is a joke, please. And the first sentence -- who wrote that? Who labeled this a groundbreaking? Please tell us it's joke. If not, this is one of THE WORST bits of "journalism", ever.— Yohanna
- Did you steal this article from The Onion?— Joe152

- While this very likely does not belong in top stories, some of you people REALLY need to have your sarcasm-detectors checked.— cloudkitt
- They could have saved money and time on this study if they had asked me what I thought.— Sportyrider71
- I'm currently applying to the government for a research grant to determine where bears poop.— Moe_Syzlak
- this is truly shocking. not only are alleged 'researchers' astounded by the obvious; but we also have the media bothering to publish it.
— raoool - I knew this when I was 17. I didn't need a study to figure it out.— faxm1
- what a wasted article! you actually think nobody knew that? do you think every person is so uninformed that they have to be told that this happens? or is it just the liberal idiots that have to be told? and how many tax payers dollars were used for this no brainer?
maybe you should do some actual investigative reporting about the 4 dead americans in bengazi that our president let die.— Ryne Duren - I don't believe there are many of you who would do a 500-pound woman. There's nothing macho about bad taste.— orange rhino
- Moe - Save the money. As many times as I have been in the woods I have never seen bear poop. I think they go in the water upstream of Philly's water supply. That way they don't have to wipe.— towman
