Bam Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Found this on another forum...pretty funny. There's a girl who broke up with a guy and she told him she wanted to “still be friends.” He said, “No thanks.” She wondered why he couldn’t fall back to being just friends after they had a romantic relationship. In comes the “McDonalds Analogy” to try and explain it in a simple way that would help all women understand this tough question. Imagine if you went to McDonalds a lot and ordered a Big Mac Combo meal. A Big Mac, Large Fries and a Coke. You really like this meal. One day, you pull up to the drive through and order the Big Mac Combo meal and the girl tells you, “I’m sorry – you can have the Big Mac and the Coke, but you can’t get fries with that anymore.” You think about this for a moment, and sure – the Big Mac is the centerpiece of the meal, but McDonalds has some really good fries and you like their fries with your meal. So you say, “I’ve been able to get fries with that before, why can’t I have fries with my Big Mac combo anymore?” The girls says, “Well, I just think it is better if you only have the Big Mac and the Coke from here on out.” At this point, a lot of guys are going to go to Wendy’s or BK and see if they can get fries with their combo at that drivethrough window. But there are some guys who REALLY like McDonalds Big Macs and they might think, “If I keep coming here and ordering the Big Mac and Coke, maybe she’ll change her mind and give me some fries with that later.” So they will keep on getting the combo without the fries until the deal breaker happens: One day that guy is going to order the Big Mac and Coke and then he’s going to pull up a little bit to pay, and someone else is going to pull up to the drive through speaker and order the “Big Mac Combo” and he is going to hear the girl say, “Would you like fries with that?” That’s why guys don’t like to be friends with a girl who breaks up with them.

HotCarl Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Funny but true. Sad to say I use to be "that guy", never again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Lee Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Explained this analogy to the guys at work. They asked, "What if all you want is fries? No Big Mac, no drink." I told them to order off the "dollar" menu then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco-REX Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm remembering this one. Same.. It's amazing how oblivious girls are to how much of a smack in the face "I just want to be friends" is. A kick in the nuts is better.

A kick in the nuts is better. What even more amazing is the guys who actually accept this sort of arrangment. Fucking pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 What even more amazing is the guys who actually accept this sort of arrangment. Fucking pathetic. In their defense, it's understandably difficult to sever a friendship that has so much emotional investment in it. But really, it's pretty obvious when a guy is looking for more in a relationship. It should never get to the "let's just be friends" speech. That's just cruel on her part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me, i was that guy my whole high school career I know what its like. Sometimes I think how pathetic I use to be sitting around waiting, ugh what a waste of time. In my defense I was "friends" with some pretty fucked up bitch's who had severe emotional problems that I didnt realize until i grew up and found out that, "hey not every girl is an emotional nutjob, there are some good ones... few and far between but they're there."
