I dont think there is anything wrong with it.

Most of my friends are woman. I dont' have any feelings for them except the love of their friendship. I will admit there have been times in my life when I had a female friend that I wish wasn't my friend. But those are very few.

I think its possible to have friends of the opposite sex. If you get along with someone on a person to person basis, then, I don't think it should matter if its male or female.

Of course it is. I have several male friends and absolutely no love interest in them. I was never allowed to have male friends before as I was constantly accused of sleeping with everyone of them. Only because the Ex wasn't able to have a friendship with a female without it turning into something sexual. What a pig!!

Watch When Harry Met Sally? LOL

Considering I haven't been with anyone else, all my male or female interactions, however light or deep, were all just 'friendships'

I never worried about lines though, females always know where they need be. Maybe if I Looked like Brad Pitt or had the desire, but I've never had to worry about those lines, I never set them.

Most of my friends are male-Men are less complicated-they are not competitive or petty.

I see nothing wrong with that at all. I think, personally, it is more important to have friends than a "mate".

YES. I believe you can be a friend to a person of opposite sex, but you both need to be extremely upfront and clear that is all it would be. I have a few female friends I would never cross the line with. However, at one point in time, it could have happened, but we desired to remain friends and have no instances where we'd even be uncomfortable around each other nude. no big deal. Anyway, most men, don't want to be friends with a woman. It's when the rejection comes that he says, "let's be friedns" or, hopes one day she'll lighten up. Me on the one hand, knows the boundaries not to cross although there's plenty of women that "say" they want to be friends, then are not interested in anything more than potential benefits. it's insane

uh if a lady has ALL male friends, that is a little bit of a red flag.

same with a dude having ALL female friends (which i havent come across yet).

it's like DS here. Im a little leery of ladies who have all dudes in their friend network. and guys who have mostly or all female friends(which i have seen here)

i think the PC answer is sure...guys and gals can be friends. very easily.

i think the correct answer is certain guys and gals can be true friends. but its rarer than you'd think.

I've had more friends that were male than female all my life. I was that girl in high school that was "one of the guys" and I'm still that girl where I work. I just don't get along very well with other women... unless they're the loner, low-maintenance type like me and can pick up a friendship where it left off after 3 or 4 months of neglect ;).

Guys are a lot less complicated...

He won't always want to talk about his feelings.

He don't cry if you say the wrong thing.

He won't gossip about you to your other friends and get them to turn against you if you make him mad.

He'll never ask to borrow your clothes (hopefully).

You'll never have to put up with his PMS.

You won't have to worry about which one of you looks prettier when you are out together.

He can do "man" stuff for you... fix the car, lift heavy stuff, etc.

What more could a woman want?

I don't know that I have an answer to the question, more or less just want to add my perspective -- I am at a point in my life where I would greatly welcome male friends into my life -- primarily to help restore my faith in men as quality people. I used to have men friends, but that's awhile ago. I halfway agree with the comment about "WHen Harry Met Sally" that somebody posted. I've heard alot, from men, that men never not want to sleep with the women they're around, even if they're "just friends." That's not to say they want to sleep with EVERY woman...

But I'm willing to have faith in the guys...maybe that makes me naive --even at my age...

I don't think you should have a friend of the opposite sex unless you include the spouse in on the fun. It could always be taken the wrong way.
