Lunch with the opposite sex

The question arises though why do you need the company of a female when you are married? What is wrong with the company of your wife? Isn't it strange to leave your wife at home and go for lunch with another woman? You are basically saying you prefer her company.
What a ludicrous thing to say. Do you mean to say that a man can have as many male friends as he wants but only one female friend? What absolute nonsense.
 
Nothing at all but say your wife was at home and you were together and you said you were going out to see a female friend for some dinner enjoy your chilli con carne. It wouldn't be odd?

Oddness depends on context.

"I'm going to dinner with Debbie from accounts just because" is odd.

"I'm going to dinner with Sally that i've been friends with since we were at school to catchup" is not odd at all.

I was never saying you couldn't just that I prefer the company of men socially.

Thank you someone understands what I was saying!
 
Wait what, that contradicts what you've been saying Adam. If I've got this right, you would call the second statement made by Kenai odd wouldn't you?

Seems to suggest any meeting at all with another woman without your wife is strange in your book

What that says is going out for dinner with a woman while your wife is sat at home is odd.

It would most certainly be odd, it wouldn't happen, or if it did, I'd be going out wearing the chili con carne!
I've been know to take some outrageous liberties in my life, but I wouldn't be dumb enough to try that one!

From your perspective given your assumption that sex=identity your questions make sense and your conclusions are obvious. Without that assumption, your conclusions and resulting questions don't make sense. It's not the case that everyone makes that assumption.

I don't assume that sex=identity, so from my point of view I'm having lunch with a person. What makes it strange or not is the motive. If I was having leaving my hypothetical wife at home and going for lunch with a stranger for no reason other than having lunch with someone else, that would probably be strange. If I was going for lunch with a friend or someone I might do business with or someone who might offer me a better job or some other reason that wasn't strange, then it wouldn't be strange.
 
Having lunch during work tea break no problem or even socialising in a group but never one on one. I never said I saw women as potential mating partners I just do not see the point in having women friends that require one to one attention.

Is it draconic and wrong for a man to prefer socialising with other men and not women?

Not necessarily, but it is at least a bit strange. Why is a person's sex so extremely important to you if you're not having sex with them?
 
Question for anyone who thinks it is inappropriate:

If you're bisexual but happen to be married to a woman does this mean you can't have lunch or drinks with men too? I mean essentially you can't then have drinks or lunch with another human being as you could potentially sleep with anyone.

Mind blown!

:D

Let's have dinner some time?????
 
Just to add to the oddness.
Been "throwing" the wife out the last couple of weekends, so i can study in peace.
She's going to the beach this saturday with a bloke :eek: :cool:
 
I had lunch with the opposite sex today, she's got a long term boyfriend, 26yo, pretty attractive girl. We sat out on the grass by the cathedral and ate our baguettes. We get on well and chat about loads of random stuff. She was "presenting" herself to me, she knew we were doing lunch so she had a pushup bra on (she needs it) and had gone to Debenhams levels of perfume spraying, so I made sure I had some tighter than normal trousers on.

Anyway, ended up banging away on the grass outside the cathedral and got cranberry sauce everywhere.

I guarantee nobody chooses to go to lunch with a fat unattractive woman.
