my ex boyfriend 18-8...says women and men can be friends with out any sex.. at times he would go out with anywhere from two to six women. An when I had a problem with it he made me feel like a fool...what do you think?
Only if one of them is unattractive and the other has no interest. Never in the history of man have two people been sexually atracted to each other and been able to remain friends. I will never believe it has happened. | |

Posted: 12/31/2006 8:33:11 AM | | @salamander. Yes a secure person needs to make friends with people in a different country..people they will never likely meet in person..come on that makes no sense! A secure person who actually wants real friends or something more will want to meet local people and actually go out not sit in front of a computer chatting with a pen pal. I'd say the repressed people full of regret and fear are the ones chatting it up with people who don't even live in the same country. Sounds like a good excuse to stay home and never have to meet someone. I think having a restriction on who can email you really cuts down on wasting time on the net. If all you want are meaningless penpals then by all means chat to everyone and anyone you can. | |

Posted: 12/31/2006 8:43:40 AM | I have many friends that I talk to by email that are men and have male friends that I have had for years.
I don't see why people think just because you are female and they are male that it can't happen.
Also so you live in another country, why not talk and become friends? If nothing else you should would have alot to talk about just because you don't live in the same country | |

Posted: 12/31/2006 11:48:39 AM | @woman on fire...shall I list how many plane trips I have taken to meet people? Or how many times I have been to the airport to pick up a new friend? If someone can't afford, or find a way to meet, then they don't have the "umph' that it takes to be my friend. Why limit yourself?  cheers! and I say lighten up!
(I even flew to Scotland to meet someone that I met HERE on POF, of course I took a chaperone, my mother, and we had a great time)
I have dozens of stories and friends worldwide. | |

Posted: 12/31/2006 12:28:07 PM | You have a good point. My ex would always go out with his friends, and they were women, and although it was innocent on his part, they were constantly trying to talk him out of being married. They wanted a boy-toy friend, even though many of them were married. Well, now they have him. I hope he is happy! LOL! And it had nothing to do with him going out with them.
The thing is when you are with someone and you go out together, everyone knows you are together. When you are in a relationship, but you continue to hang out with your friends, by yourself, you are leaving yourself open to advances from others. And, advances lead to other things. My ex got in a relationship with a 21 year old while he was "out with the boys." So, I'd say most men and women can be friends without sex only if they are truly "just friends."
I'm pretty certain my ex had a sexual relationship with a few of his friends, although he would never admit it. That is why they were so jealous of me and wanted us apart. | |

Posted: 12/31/2006 12:45:02 PM | | I think it's possible to be friends with a guy, as long as you don't break that friends barrier by having sex with him.. that's when it changes.. I have a couple of guy friends that are just that.. friends, and we have a great relationship.. give and take advice on dates that we've been on.. it all depends I guess on the person | |

Yes a secure person needs to make friends with people in a different country..people they will never likely meet in person..come on that makes no sense!
If people from different countries talked and became friends, they would be less likely to go to war, more likely to help one another, more likely to reach mutual understandings of different cultures etc, and what better medium than the internet to do it in?
A secure person who actually wants real friends or something more will want to meet local people and actually go out
I live in a very small town, pop 300, there are no suitable single women, and I am currently friends with women, and men, without having sex with them.
There is always an exception to any one's rules, or one's mind sets. | |

Posted: 12/31/2006 5:26:11 PM | Hi there...
As a woman who has mostly men for friends... I would have to say yes we can be friends and not have sex... I don't think its any different that a female friend... and nor should it be looked at differently... There might be a thought at some point... but most people wouldn't act on it cause it will change the friendship maybe... I wouldn't worry hun if he is hanging with the ladies... remember he is coming home to you.... Happy New Year.... | |

Posted: 1/1/2007 5:36:31 PM | | Absolutely it can happen and it does happen all the time. I have a number of female friends that I hang out with and there has never been nor ever will be sex involved due to (a) they're married (and I'm not a homewrecker), (b) they're in a serious relationship (again, who am I to screw up two lives), or (c) not interested in me in that fashion. Doesn't mean we can't hang out and have a good time, but with friendships the lines are drawn and it's easy to respect those lines. | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 11:24:18 AM | yes i think they can and this bit is for mari jane i was married for 13 years and get on with my ex-wife better now than when we were married, i also get on with her new partner and shes met a few girls ive been out with so if after having sex means you cant be friend then you or he or both arnt very mature in my humble opinion  | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 12:07:30 PM | | yes men and women can be friends without sex. sex doesnt make a friendship. if sex made a friendship than every guy would be screwing each other in mens room and every lady would be doing each other while they're boyfriends were out. the world would just be one big messy orgfest but thats just my opinion. | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 12:55:10 PM | I totally believe that men and women can be friends without having sex. Alot of my friends are men and I look upto them like brothers. I have boundaries that I set with every person in mylife, doesn't matter who they are.
I hope that your man is truely setting boundaries with these women and that he is not pulling your leg hon????

Posted: 1/6/2007 3:38:27 PM | | Not the right thing to do if your'e in a serious relationship. Why create the situation where your partner ask themselves the Q is he or isn't he? Not Good | |

Posted: 1/6/2007 4:21:45 PM | Of course they can ! I have many female friends and have been their friend for many years.
These ladies are more of a sister to me and I would never dream of sleeping with them or any other romantic type relationship.
If one's partner can't deal with you having friends of the oppisite sex, it's a sure sign of immaturity and that the relationship is doomed. | |
