Not true, or at least not strategically wise.

Because if the man really is stupid, the woman would indeed end up with a "friend" she'd hate.

That's how it arrived in the email; I didn't make it up. And in any case, to my mind, you only use the "let's be friends" line to guys you wish would magically teleport out of the solar system. XD It's a way of letting them down gently so that you don't appear to be a nasty meanie bitch from hell.

Too true and from one person I like I'd gotten numbers, 10, 8, 4, 2 and 1, how lucky am I?

I know, I know.

But anyway, I got the "Let's just be friends" line more than I could care to count, and I think it always was genuine, because I did remain friends with the girls who said it.

Then again, maybe I'm just a lucky bastard. Or they are incredibly good at lying.
