Are guys only friends with girls they find attractive? The question everyone, mostly girls, is dying to know. If you really think about it, it depends on the boy, right? Some may just become friends with a girl because they genuinely enjoy their company, or maybe they only become friends with a girl so that they can later become something more serious. So is it all a strategic plan, or is it a genuine connection?
It’s a known fact that most relationships start out as a friendship first. Friends-to-lovers is the most common trope in the real world if we are being honest. Most of the time, when you find someone and become good friends with them, it’s mostly based on a good connection and shared interests. Maybe they’re really funny or just bring a good vibe or connection that goes really well with you. Whatever the case may be, it’s proven that friendship is based on personality rather than looks. In some other cases, some friendships are planned in a way to get to know someone you have a physical attraction to. For example, imagine you see a girl in your class that you think is beautiful. You want to go up to her and maybe get to know her, but you’re really nervous. What if she’s not feeling you and you embarrass yourself? So instead, you figure out a way to get to talk to her, like asking for help with an assignment or homework. When you talk to her, then maybe you can casually ask for her number or start a conversation to get to know her. When all this happens, it creates a friendship between the two. So now every class you guys talk and laugh. While all this is great, the original plan was to get to know her so you can eventually become something more. Would a guy do all of this if he didn’t find the girl attractive or good-looking? Like I said before, it really does depend on the guy. Some may want to just make a heartfelt friend, while others may want to make a connection with a girl so they can become more than friends later.
To hear personal experiences, we asked 15-year-old Eli Avni, who said, “ Honestly, yeah, I am friends with girls who I’ve found attractive at least some point in time. My current talking stage was with my friend before we became something, but the reason we became friends was because I found her good-looking. After that I got in a relationship so we remained only friends but now I want something more with her so yeah I like to become friends with girls I maybe see something with” On the other hand, 14 year old Makai Ho-Sang says “ Absolutely not, I have so many homegirls that I don’t even think are good looking I just vibed with them and we became good friends.” So, boys, are you only friends with girls you find attractive?
