First off, men and women cannot be friends, or at least not in the way that most people perceive same sex friendship to be.
lol, I read your post, you've been married for many years so its clear that your whole lifestyle, views, etc is different from mines.
I'll give an insight on my life just to give an general idea
Male Friends
We joke around, have fun, hangout, and talk about the regular guy stuff. Anyone who has access to certain things we sometimes use to help the whole group out. I was an important figure because at the time I was the guy who had to meet the chicks and bring them to the group because before this it used to be 30 MEN walking together with no girls. When we went to parties sometimes we couldn't get in because it was too many men and no girls with us. EVEN IF WE KNEW THE DJS TO GET IN FREE.
Female Friends
This is different than my guy friends and actually better in many ways. ONE THING FOR SURE WITH me and my FEMALE Friends its always "ON". There is always that sexual tension. I'm always talking to my guy friends and girl friends equally sometimes more my guy friends. My female friends take care of me as if they were my gf. They cook for me, they buy me things, and overall love me as a person. My female friends sit on my lap, we flirt, we tease each other, we sometimes talk about serious things...but most of all
"WE PUT EACH OTHER IN STATE"
When I pickup chicks I usually introduce them to the females first so they know I have other women that hang with me and it also makes it more comfortable because I'm not some weird kid who will take her in the wierds and rape her. My female friends are always popping out of no where giving me a hug, screaming, giving me kisses, etc. It's just normal, they also introduce me to there friends who they already have told alot about me. Whether these girls have a BF or NOT they act like this. I actually chat up the BF to see if he is cool, if he is I'll let him roll with us.
My Social circle & Lifestyle
I like living my life to the fullest and just having great experiences. Everything revolves around my passions and picking up chicks is something that was added into my lifestyle. But I kind of started neglecting my friends because I'd have too many day2s, I'd be spending more time picking up than hanging with my friends which was BAD. So what I started doing is bring them to parties with all my friends. I also told them to bring there friends just so we have more girls.
As a result my GUY friends have chicks they could talk too, and if you've ever hungout with a group of women you'll know all the other guys want to know you so they can meet some chicks lol.
Hanging with chicks is SO much fun and the stuff you hear you can use as stories which will show your pretty comfortable with women. For a good while I used to hangout with many lesbians and bi-sexual women, who altogether pulled more ass than all the men in my school combined. One bi chick pointed out to me that my old school should've just been a all girls school because alot of girls hook up with each other. The stories about young chicks using strap-ons, the older chicks going to gay parade, dressing up at halloween parades, all there funny stories of when they were converting chicks and how they escalated lol. (A guy friend can't really tell you about those things from another prespective)
Eventually I came to realize that if I put some of these chicks in the friend zone I can have pivots and have alot of girls in my social circle, which will then cause my friends to get some too. Then I realized as a bonus, these chicks were able to bring HOT friends, and worked at places that could hook me up. It was so much more fun hanging with both guys and girls.
So what do I have planned now? I'm about to go to acting school in a month, which I'm surely not going to try and fuk any chicks in my school. I think long-term and lifestyle wise now, it would be far better to have those chicks as friends. (KEEP IN MIND MY FEMALE FRIENDS ARE ALL HIGHLY ATTRACTED TO ME, not the AFC TAMPON MAN)
Meanwhile after school I can sarge random women on the street because there tend to be alot of foriegn models in that area and a good amount of attractive women.
When I get out of school, I plan on meeting chicks in certain industries because I have a passion for those things...such as Culinary Arts (I love eating food) Extreme Sports (I basically want to spend my life doing this) Traveling, Fashion industry, partying, and anything else I start to become interested in.
Now it's impossible for me to lay all these chicks at the same time and I surely don't want them to just leave my life. Imagine if a 5 star chef hottie left my life? I'd be devesated to know I won't be getting that type of food. Heck I was abit pissed that I had stopped contacting a pastry chef lol.
Basically, I have a lifestyle that I have pictured in my head and if I was to just go around having sex with EVERY chick that I thought was hot, I'd be losing alot of chicks who I should've made a friend even though my longest open relationship was 2 years, not every girl that I have sex with I stick with for 2 years.
I'd want a 5 star chef friend for life who loves me to death, always parading me to her other friends (Who may also be chefs) and that way I get alot of connections in those areas and get access to even more food. Because one of my things that I want to do in life is travel around the world tasting different types of foods, and having a 5 star chef in my social circle is surely a great thing.
Note: ONCE AGAIN I'M NOT SAYING MAKE ALL FEMALES YOUR FRIENDS. NOR AM I SAYING GO OUT AND JUST MAKE FRIENDS IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET WOMEN. IF YOU STILL HAVEN'T IMPROVED YOURSELF INTO SOMEONE WHO IS WOMEN JUST HAPPEN TO BE ATTRACTED TO THEN DON'T EVEN BOTHER TRYING THIS YET. EVEN THOUGH LAYING CHICKS IN YOUR SOCIAL CIRCLE IS 10X EASIER THAN COLD APPROACHING. I THINK OF SOCIAL CIRCLE AS A SIDE THING, THE REAL GAME IS PLAYED DOING COLD APPROACHING.
