Like if they find a girl fairly attractive and fun to hang out but he doesn't like her in a romantic way, he still going to have an ulterior motive. He's still a guy and would still try to sleep with her if the opportunity came. Us guys will rate a woman as either smoking hot, fairly attractive/decent looking/ or ugly. If she smoking hot then of course his first priority is to sleep with her. if she ugly, obviously he not going to want to touch her or even be friends with her. But if she's in the middle of the scale it means, she not the greatest looking but oh well she's still fuqable. So decent yet fuqable women are asked to be friends so the guy doesn't seem like hes after one thing but he's able to hide it better by pretending to be just a friend. and as soon as she breaks up with her bf or appears vulnerable and weak asking to come over for a movie, that's when the guy makes his move.

so obvious.

then your thinking short sighted , having women who are hot make you attractive to other hot women , so think long term and the quote from the movie colors is appropriate " the young bull says to the old , hey look at all the cows down there , "lets run down a fk one" and the older bull says " lets walk down and fk them all " so being friends w/ one hot chick allows you to meet other hot chicks ,

girls with guys as "just friends" are lying to themselves at a minimum. hehe.

Translation: You've never been with a woman, and only create threads like this to over-compensate for your impotency.

Sure, you might for a second think about an attractive woman sexually... but if you do that all the time you are either younger than 25 or an oversexualized person. I know many attractive women I work with and do not think about them "in a romantic way".

And women who just want to be friends are lesbians.

Yeah I tell my hot sister I just wanna be siblings but one of these days man.
