You're mad. Friendship higher on the scale of intimacy than sex? How is that even remotely possible? I'm a guy, and it makes absolutely no sense to me at all.
I was making a somewhat facetious remark with a real underlying basis.
How many guys go to hookers. Do you think they are friends with the hookers they are porking?
How many guys pick up one night stands when they are young, before they get married. Do you think they are friends with those never to be seen again one night stands?
Do you get the point I was trying to make?
