Steve Harvey "Men and Women can't be just friends" rant

[PowerLude]

i agree with you he cant speak for us. we could build trust in those relationships. you cool !

[AlwayzBallin24]

he did say 99.9 and there is around 3 billion guys on this planet. 99.9 is quite a large number so imma have to lower it to 85% of guys can be just friends with girls, and those are mostly guys in a relationship.

[xatr0293]

yo yo cam dawn i dont where r u from but in reel life its true

if u r right then what ur definition for girlfriend then ?

woman as class mates as co-worker im fine with that but if i find a girl and that she gonna understand me to the point that she gonna be my best friend i will take her as a girlfriend

[zrebrutibreniti]

you'r the 0.01%

[zrebrutibreniti]

perfectly noticeable that you were raised by females, fuck, you'r gay

[stpclick]

yea, bullshit.. men and women cant be friends u gotta be homosexual

[huckster699]

Peoples standards for what they call a "friend" now a days is so low thanks to Facebook and Text messaging. I call a person a friend If i would feel comfortable calling them at 3 a.m. to come bail me out of jail.

[StraightOuttaDC]

A man is validated by knowing that women are attracted to him. It fulfills everything. He's got friends, whatever possessions he wants or is working toward, and women on the side. Why does he have women on the side? To form a relationship? No. To fuck. That's the whole point of relationships anyway. Think about it. You know it is.

Why would he waste time around a woman who wants to be his "friend" when she won't do what I guys do with their guy friends?

[Mokurentate]

@StraightOuttaDC

As a woman, I approve of this message.

[StraightOuttaDC]

Men are naturally the pursuers of women. That's how it is. Every male animal that has and will exist is the same way. The human male is no different. We want to spread our seed. Now granted women don't always want to bear kids and men don't always want to be fathers. We just like the sensual pleasure that comes with sex. That's why humanity is as diverse as it is. We are just smarter than the animals.

[DrShitandStank]

@StraightOuttaDC Yo bro....where did you learn this? Off of Stank Booty magazine?

[StraightOuttaDC]

A man will NEVER confide in a woman as he does his male friends because they know (and you and every other man who has, does, or will walk this Earth) that once the emotional security of friends and allies is in place, the only thing left to do is satisfy his sex drive, which is (and has always been) the biggest impulse in man. Why? Because we are in season all year and can fuck whenever we want, and want to quite often.

[StraightOuttaDC]

Men confide in their friends because 1) they're no threat to them, they're an ally, 2) their is trust between the two that one will always help out the other, 3) there is rapport between the two.

Women liked to be talked to, especially from men. It makes them feel beautiful. They want men to talk to them and share their emotions, just as the woman's female friends do, because it makes them feel good. Women feel validated by that sort of emotional shit.

[StraightOuttaDC]

Please.

Men don't hang out around women to "just friends". A man plays sports with his friends. A man plays video games with his friends. A man talks politics with his friends.

Men have male friends because they learn from them, and a human being will always pick up the mannerisms of those in their environment. Men look up to men, hang out with other men to learn what it's like to be a man. Why? To attract women.

Period.

[MrCHRISDOGGG]

PREACH ON BROTHA!!!!!! I AGREE 100%

[hazelsimone]

I agree that its hard for Men and Women to be friends but not because I think that Men cant control themselves.....I just think if two people of the opposite sex have such a good friendship someone will eventually catch feelings....why wouldn't you that's the perfect mate to me

[hackneybeast]

Let me just say, I am no fan of Steve Harvey at all but he was speaking the truth. Maybe you're in the 0.1%...

[thetimekeeper100]

No hetereosexual man is friends with an attractive heterosexual women because he is in love with the content of her conversation.

[georgethe09]

ctfu act like a lady think like a man, this nigga fell out and need some attention don't take it that personal dude, u got alot of potential.

[Deathstar931]

he did not generalize men like that, he didn't say all men, he said 99.9%. which YOU are that of the least percentage. calm down, this rule does apply to me, from my experiences, when I make female friends I DON"T do what u said trying to fuck them. It's like what ALOT of people say "your best friend should be your boyfriend or husband." so this whole all men are dogs thing is bs. A dog just wants to fuck you and leave, thats a man thats a dog

[psx2514]

To all of who who are saying that Steve Harvey isn't talking about ALL men, of course he isn't. There are exceptions to the rule, but that doesn't mean the rule doesn't apply. In fact, there's an exception to every rule. The fact there is an exception proves that the rule exists.

[TheLovesoul1]

i really don't like men well hmm FUCK IT!!

[LonerlovezL]

He has been married 3 TIMES!!! How can he even be allowed to write books about relationships!?

[Mokurentate]

@LonerlovezL

Hahahahahaha. Good point.

[TheBigBlakk]

Steve is speakin the truth !!!!!!!!! straight up . Men and Females cant befriends !!!!!!!! Like he said We are only your friends because u made it clear that its nothing more. If it was up to any dude STRaight DUDE to meet an attractive WOMAN there wouldnt be no friendship intended . Why this is so true is because we are either trying to get with that girl or Sex. SUper Unattractive females is a different story SO SHUT THE FUCK UP N SEE WHERE HE IS COMING FROM!!!1

[TheBigBlakk]

@TheBigBlakk Oh and when the so called friendship is obvious that the female has no interest what happend to that "friendship" it dies down and on to the next one. Would you call friends thats only your friends if you are rich or famous ? exactly . Everyone who is sayin im not like that aint getting the picture plain and simple and its sad how yall dnt see it .

[DrShitandStank]

@TheBigBlakk men and women are better off as friends

[lionheart301]

amen brother steve harvey is an asshole.

[Mcklegend1]

SHUT THE FUCK UP you fuckin Fagot...its trueee female and males cant be friendss....shut the fuck damn get a life

[LonerlovezL]

@Mcklegend1 Maybe you're like Steve Harvey. Its fine. All he was saying is that NOT ALL men are like you and Steve.

[Mcklegend1]

@LonerlovezL BUt womans are for sex Only NO friends No nothing! thats all their good at! even my wife agress

[LonerlovezL]

@Mcklegend1 Oh. My. Gosh. I'm sorry your wife is so lame. Maybe sex is all she is good at, but not all "womans" are challenged in that way. And most intelligent people will "agre" on that.

[Kokiolane]

LOL!! Daaaaamn you went off haha but i enjoyed it tho xd

[tom11zz884]

To the guy who did this video, It's not a "rant" by Steve harvey moron..he is telling the truth...Now I guess If you are a little non-threatening little wimp like yourself, then I can see how women would view you as just a friend.

[DrShitandStank]

@tom11zz884 you think Steve tells the truth because he is a goddamn celebrity with money. to average people......celebrities are always right

[rajarion]

i really your video but i feel that he said this because about 75% of men has wanted to lay with there home girl or already has. but at the same u are right he cant speak for all men because not all men are like that and he is mostly speaking from his point of view

[illjuan3]

YOU MIGHT NOT BE GAY BUT YOUR DEF NOT THAT MANLY LISTEN TO YOUR TONE YOU SOULD LIKE YOUR GAY EVEN THO YOUR NOT SO THATS PROBALY WHY YOU HAVE FEMALE FRIENDS

[DrShitandStank]

@illjuan3 and your only friend is a bottle of whiskey

[Dreaontv]

"what I DO know is that your marriages are shit" *fell OUT*

as far as the topic..I already have my take on this. we'll have a convo about this when I see you lol

[Gindima]

I'm not saying that gay love is different than homosexual love, I'm just saying how does he know the attractions between a man and a woman. It's like me sitting back and saying gay men can't have male friends, there is no friendship. Love is love to me, sorry just wanted to clear that up. Plus, I think mainly male chauvinist think this way, not real men, in regards to the quote.

[Gindima]

Thank you! I'm so tired of hearing that quote! And you know, from what I've read, this goes back to a particular man making this line. He's a famous gay man by the name of Oscar Wilde. "Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship." And from what I gathered, he seems like he dislikes women. Plus he's gay so I don't know how he knows what goes on between a man and a woman, unless he felt this way with the men he was with.

[msredwun]

WHOOOOOO-SAAAAHHHHHH!!! take a deep breathe homie!

Part of the problem is common sense is no longer common therefore, when ppl like steve harvey say such generalized things, the average person isnt able to think for themselves and see through the crap....... the few remaining beings, like us, who know better completely understand the truth.

[NaturalBeauty80]

You are 100% Right!

[ladyohio1976]

i happen to be one of your female friends and think your cool like dat i am married and i don't see nothing wrong wit having female friends/male friends...i have lost male friends because women think i want there man...

[bIGnmIZTEE2]

You are right man, but he is right partially. It is hard for some guys to be friends with women, personally I can be friends with women but I cannot be friends with "benefits" with a women.

[SilasCilice]

You are so spot on. And dissenters can step aside, step aside.

My relationship with my boys is like this: we can talk about anything (our relationships, sex, family issues) and it doesn't make a difference. We always have the other's back and help each other. My boy got gf problems? I will sit and listen and help. I got used by a guy? He and our boys will be paying some visits.

It's healthy to have platonic friendships with members of the opposite sex. Keeps you in check.

[datmiamikid]

no offense bro but your obviously a homosexual that's the only reason you can be friends with females. #kanye shrug this girlfriend you speak of is nonexistant.

[AmielKitrelle]

@datmiamikid I find this comment both funny and completely ignorant at the same time. The reason I have many female friends is because of my brother/sister relationship from serving in the NAVY with them and we respect one another, secondly the others are either from high school or college. It is obvious that YOU my friend are ignorant to who I am and that I am not homosexual. Then again, what does my bedroom business have anything to do with this conversation? Please stay on topic from now on.

[AmielKitrelle]

@datmiamikid And believe me dawg, no offense taken. Stay up though, 1.

[JRock005]

@datmiamikid Dude. I'm straight. And one of my best friends is a female. We've known each other since the 9th grade. That's 10 years now. And we still haven't slept with each other or anything. In fact, she helps me pick out good women from the bad. She can tell if a female is a hoe, or golddigger or both before I can. I hate how Steve Harvey uses himself to represent all men. Most men don't even like Steve Harvey anymore.

[viking9988]

I agree

[tgreene7739]

I agree!

[Oblivonkilll]

Hahahaahahahaha you cool xP

[Keirabug]

i agree with you. And if he's saying 99%? WHERE did he get that percentage? Has he done surveys? Has he conducted experiments on this issue? Did he pull this "information" from a reliable source who has? Probably not.

In my experience, men and women can definitely be just friends in many cases. This whole "generally speaking" thing is not cutting it for me. People focus on different things. You may experience a lot of one thing and think most ppl experience the same thing, but it may not be so

[MyLifesPromise]

"Men & Women can't be friends"...That usually equals...You can't be friends with the opposite sex when the attraction is there on one or both ends...and for some, its hard to be friends with the opposite sex for one reason or another...

But there are some men, no, I couldnt be just friends with b/c the attraction is there and I may want more...

Some, will only deal with women they're attracted to so thats why they say that..{from what I've seen anyway}

[josephd27]

i agree with you. i dont think about gettin with every girl i no

[laughsaremeds]

I didn't see the clip; but there are more 'dogs' than actually good men. The world has gone down the drain so far, that respect for one another is hard to find... From the sound of it, I also think, he's just speaking generally.. and not something to take so personally..

Your review was really hard to watch, for all the cursing.. Yucky...

[TahshaTPitsMe]

i like how you said that ur upbringing has made you conscious of the needs of women, and I was laughin when u said u wanted to pull him thru a black hole and punch him. I use to date guys that did take advantage of my sensitivity and I appreciate ur blunt comments. I haven't check out ur vids in a while , since u showed ur reaction to the lil boy smackin his mama. U da truth

[everclyde]

I don't believe it is a Black, White, or Blue man issue.  I'm sorry but the MAJORITY of the time. Men and women friends aren't that platonic. He didn't say "Amiel cannot be friends with women." He is speaking generally.

If you are able to separate the two. More power too you. But if you believe your girl friend's play brother thinks exactly like you. Then you are sadly mistaken. He is just speaking generally.

[AmielKitrelle]

@everclyde Steve Harvey or any other man can not generalize all men into one category. I understand not all men think like me, however, we do NOT all think the way he spoke of. He stated 99% of us think that way, that is the majority of men in this world and that is not true. Just because one's a dog, doesn't make me one. "Generally" doesn't apply to me so therefore I addressed it to correct just that.

[JAFin3st]

@everclyde Agreed

[midnightassassin13]

I've got a wonderful girlfriend. AND i have one of my bestfriends that are a girl.

Never thought about fuckin her, SHE talks to me about her boyfriend. She thought she was pregnant. I helped her. THAT'S it.. ONLY conversation about anything like that.

Thank you for this video. Steve is a cock sucker. It made so mad.

Zach

[AmielKitrelle]

@midnightassassin13 Thanks for the support Zach. I just hate being generalized into a close minded group as such stated by him. It's completely his opinion and besides the damn "Freedom of speech" right, he has no right to say "all men" think that way. It's completely ignorant.

[TheMarie116]

lol too funny, sorry u mad tho. this aint the first time he said some offensive shit. i agree wit you

[AmielKitrelle]

@TheMarie116 after I made the video I felt instant relief bwahahaha. I'm fine now, I just had to get that off of my chest.

[dagreatcapri82]

I AGREE, AMIEL! IT'S HIGHLY DEPENDABLE ON THE INDIVIDUAL TO WHETHER HE/SHE CAN BE FRIEND THE OPPOSING SEX. STEVE IS A COMEDIAN, SO FOR THAT FACT ALONE I WILL NOT TAKE MOST OF WHAT HE SAY AS SERIOUS MATTER. THOUGH, IF HE IS SERIOUS ON THIS, IT SHOWS HOW HIS MIND AND GUYS LIKE HIS WORK. I, PERSONALLY, CAN BE FRIENDS WITH A WOMEN AND NOT TRY TO SEX THEM. BUT THERE'S ALOT OF WEAK DUDES WHO PREY ON A WEAKER WOMAN TO HAVE RELATIONS WITH THEM. STEVE SHOULD BE MORE WISE AND EXPERIENCE ON THIS MATTER SMH

[Chloesarus]

I agree 100%
