  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There should be a visible difference between how you act around your boyfriend and how you act around guy friends. If you've got that going on, misconceptions shouldn't be your fault.

I completely agree with this. I had a girlfriend back in the day who purposefully went out of her way to avoid all physical affection with me but bestowed all sorts of physical affection on her other guy friends. It was insanely weird. Like she would scratch their backs, joke around friend touching. But she avoided all that with me like the plague because I was her boyfriend so I guess she wanted to look pious to everyone. Anyway, it was weird.

Most men are generally Pigs. I know, I am generally one. God forgive me. Oink! And your boyfriend is interested in the physical, or else he wouldn't date you. But that doesn't mean he isn't trying to get in your pants. Just know that, yeah--he thinks about sex. Most guys do, if not all.

I disagree with this. Just because men are generally more interested sexually in women it doesn't mean we are pigs. God made men to be visually interested in woman and gave us more testosterone which contributes to a higher sex drive. It doesn't mean we should be labelled pigs.

Just like all people, men are sinners. So really, men are no more or less pigs than women are. So the pig label as only applied to men is unfair.

I'm a guy and frankly I tell lots of women that most guys are pigs. I hate to say it but they tend to always have a motive in what they are doing, biggest one being obviously sex.

Its why a true good hearted godly man is a little bit harder to find. Most women I talked to made assumptions about me based on what most men do. They expect me to cheat, lie, want sex...etc.

This is just my advice but since we tend to look for love its often hard to tell the diffrence in whether your a friend or something more. Often friendships lead to romance. You just have to take it one step at a time.

My sister (well friend technically) told me that when it came to dating, she would test the man. She would sit next to him and sort of leave her self open to him to see what he would do. If he touched her wrong and made some sexy remark she knew what his motives were.

Its hard as a man because we do think diffrently. We do think about sex and often times even when trying hard we end up looking at a womans body and not her eyes. You want a man that has good self control. Most women loved it that I was a virgin until 27. That to them signaled I did not let peer pressure bug me! If a guy tells you hes had a bunch of partners or he lost his virginty early...may want to find someone else.
:thumbsup:very True, thanks for being honest. :)

Okay, I am kind of new to this world. As even as far as friendships go. Any advice? What is different about having a friend that is a guy? Much difference?


1. They aren't all the same (remember as I go with this list, lol)

2. They really don't have their brain in their male part.

3. They not only can't read minds, they hate having to do that.

4. When it comes to relationships, they can be .... primitive.

5. Guys CAN live without sex (although most won't admit that; it is the most common guy lie).

6. We don't all have the same "love language" - same for guys, too.

7. Guys CAN be very selfish; if they can have the goodies without the commitments - many will shout "yippie!" But they aren't afraid of marriage. Honest.

8. Guys are teachable. Especially if it's done without seeming like a teacher, and if the girl is teachable, too. If a girl tells me something, I listen - and usually not only appreciate it but respond.

9. Guys panic easily.

10. Guys are much more "soft hearted" than they let on. Some don't know how to show it, some are just uncomfortable showing it. It's not a guy thing.



I hope that helps.


- Josiah

Naa...I enjoy it !
I really love analyzing what they say and do and cross check with their body language and predict in my mind whats next. The problem is that I forgets their 'profiles' I deduct to make it *useful* in the long run :sorry:
May be I should write it down somewhere safe :idea:

I hope that helps.

I guess it would, nice one mate !:thumbsup:

Can I add one more thing to your list ??

I really don't like girls who behaves differently around me !
I want them to be behave (almost) exactly like they used to with the other guys !

There was this beautiful girl I had a crush on at our church who practically stalks me :doh: She's very beautiful, I know her family (they are very good) but she....is bit too much for me.

One day I was returning home in a bus and I got a seat @rear most seat. Then I saw somebody staring at me... and there she was ! (In my state, in public buses, the ladies are seated in the front and the gents @the back, all facing forward). She turned around, facing me for the rest of the journey, smiling at me all the time ! The bus conductor was like :o:o:o:o ^_^

So, what I want from a girl is "Just Be Yourself" !
