I think men and women can easily be friends!

I have male friends that I have known since high school. Never been a sexual spark, nothing like that, just good friends (and only 2 of them are gay!). I think it is totally possible.

Yes I have had male friends at all ages in my life. I think some males and females can't handle it, but most can.LOL

I'd agree there can be problems it just all depends on situations and what you let yourself do.

I definately think it's do-able. I can appreciate a male/female relationship where there was no prior sex.

It's doable to have male friends. Some will even change the oil in your car...or help be truthful with you when you need it and not all the female drama stuff! Those male friends are special......rare too! But needed when we get too nuts on ourselves. At least that's what my male friends do.

I have had Male Friends my entire Life-no Nothing. Maybe it depends on if you grew up with brothers??? Or the guys grew up with sisters???

Who knows.

Guys who have made passes were never those that were never my Friends. Usually they were stbx's friends.

Yes, I believe that male & female can be friends & have NO "benefits" other than platonic relationship. I too, have a best friend & he is gay. Even if he wasn't gay, we would still be best friends. he is like a baby brother to me that I never had. I also call his Mom & Dad, Mom & Dad. If I call them by their first name, I get a dirty look LOL. SO, YES, males & females can be best friends, even if the male is NOT gay!

It most definitely helps to have friends of the opposite sex, I believe that we are created differently and can have different points of view on the same subjects and how to work through them together. We can always learn from each other as long as it is kept on a positive note.

I think it's possible to have friends of the opposite sex. I find that the closer I am to someone, the less I think of them in a gender related way and the more I think of them as a true friend. I also find that I can share more with my female friends than my male ones simply because I don't have the same concern about sharing my emotions with them as I do with guys.

i have had several female friends, with nothing going on beyond that. in some ways i miss hanging out with those girls more than my wife! :)

Growing up - I always had more male friends than female friends. (none with benefits)

WRONG!!

Men and Woman can be friends, but one note, if you sleep with them then it can ruin it.

I have had many friends that are woman, more than men. Just Friends. Having fun hanging out, sports. No sex.

But hey who would not want to see them naked! LOL But I hate to lose friends that way!

But that is just me.

My friends have been primarily female. very few male friends.

I currently have 2 male friends. One that I work with and the Ho's ex husband. We have become great friends.

I think man and woman can be friends.since when gender has any thing to do with friendship?
