Is it possible for a man and woman to just be friends?
Yes in my book it is…. have to say though that its men who think because you are naturally a friendly person it means you fancy them…. errrm nooo all it means is you are naturally friendly. I warm to some people more than others both in real life and online… we all do dont we?
I share bits and pieces about my personal life here with people because I like their online persona (who knows if its them in real life) not because I want to get into their pants. In real life I have platonic male friends… yes sometimes there is sexual tension and innocent flirting….. thats all it is though…. it is possible for me anyway to just to be friends with the opposite sex…… how about you?
The answer is ‘yes’.
I like having women as just good friends. It’s cool.
Of course. I’m still friends with my ex boyfriend from 10 years ago. I have more male friends than I do female.

Panda, I read some research that said it was only possible to be truly friends with the opposite sex if they were an ex or a person you had already had sex with…. interesting?

Lol, well out of all my male friends I’ve only ever slept with the ex boyfriend.
Im 50/50 on this one.
Yes I have male friends whom ive never had any sort of sexual or intimite incounters with.
Two whom I am friends with since school. The friendship is strong, we socialize together and in general feel comfortable enought to just chill out together.
Loik, we can go to the cinima together and not feel awkward or have any expectaions as to what might/could happen.Then threw work and general socialising I have met some male friends. It started out as just being friends, but one or two of them had expectaions of the friendship becoming somthing of a sexual nature.
When I turned them down, There responce was… But we could be good together because we were friends first?
So I think some guys have other motives when they say they just “want to be friends”@jenndudess1 wrote:

I’m sure the same applies to some women too.

True.
But in my opinion guys are more likely to build a “friendship” with the agenda of the relationship becoming sexual.
Girls are more likely to want to “stay friends” after a relationship in the hopes that one day they can pick up were they left off.
(or in some cases, so they can stalk the hell out of the bloke :lol: )depends on the person..
a lot of men – esp Brits – are men’s men. They are hetero, but prefer male company, don’t really like women. “Women! pah! can’t live wiht them, can’t live without them!”
Some men, how many? are househusbands, just like to have a home, don’t like other men and women.
I love female company. I have several female friends. Not a question of their being ex-g/f. I just like female company more than men. I find them more interesting.
I would think many women and many men are capable of just having plutonic friendships…..I aslo think there are many men and many women who can’t…and it would lead to sexual “liasons” :lol:
I also feel that there is probably a higher percentage of men who maybe start off with a plutonic friendship but can’t concentrate on it as just that and would instigate the next step or maybe take banter to the next level and flirt a bit more…..that is just my opinion
As for me…I have male friends but I much prefer female company for strong friendships than male
