Posted: 3/16/2008 11:27:16 AM | | In my 20s, this was an issue with a long-term bf of mine. He insisted that all the guys I considered "just friends" were just waiting for him to exit the scene so they could make their move. I'll be damned if he wasn't right. One by one over the course of time, they made their move . If the guy has a steady, healthy relationship and is physically repulsed by the woman, then yes, he can have a truly platonic relationship with her. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 9:03:08 AM | | He should make u feel secure in your relationship. And he should make sure that girl knows u r number one too and it doesn't sound like he is doing that. It is the girls that I don't trust. Girls are manipulative BI's and men will just never see that. The female friend get jealous of a GF that cuts into their time and attention. Mostly those friendships arise from the guy liking the girl and she likes the attention but is not interested so she keeps him just as friends. The BF goes to the bathroom and the bimbo lays down something to make u jealous and wonder and then the BF comes back and the bimbo is back on good behavior and when u say something about it, u come across looking like the tart. I know your pain and I myself won't even deal with that nonsense. I am more than enough for one man and he won't be out with another girl when he could be with me. Any man in a sucsessful relationship that u know of does not go out with female friends, period. I do have male friends myself but they do arrive from them wanting me. And if I am in a serious relationship I do not hang with the guy friend if that bothers my man. IF MOMMA ISN'T HAPPY, NOONE IS HAPPY | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 9:05:46 AM | | Yes, absolutely! But you have to both be on the same page about what kind of "friendship" you have and maybe set some boundaries. If one of you has the feeling that it may develop into something more, well, that can certainly complicate the friendship. And if either of you are involved in a romantic relationship, you need to be careful about your partner's feelings about this friendship you have with another person. Since a good romantic relationship should have a solid foundation of friendship, your partner might not understand why you need to have friends outside the relationship. But in answer to your question, yes, I believe that men and women can be friends without sex. | |

Posted: 3/30/2008 9:19:18 AM | yes, men can be friends without having sex, most of my friends are female. having sex with them will hinder your freindship, thoughts about them are different. I work for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief program, I travel to all countries giving during Diasters. There is about 10 women to one man on these rescues. So how do you think i feel wheni covered up with women. I just dont think, i just do whatIm supposed to do. nothing...lol..

Posted: 3/30/2008 9:54:27 AM | | sure men an women can be good friend without sex ever happening between them, however this only seems possiable if 1 or both of the people who are friends are gay.. an gay men do make very good friends an you always get the inside dirt of how things really are with other guys, especially the ones claimin to be "straight" an just in general about relationships an love,,not sayin that being just strictly friends with a "straight" man wouldnt workout but theres too many complications an headaches an eventually they would try an have sex with you or get all caught up on another level,,,when all you wanna do is just be friends an hangout.. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 7:37:12 PM | | If your in a relationship then his friends should be yours also, no matter what sex they are. Has he asked you to go out with them? I feel men and women can be friends without anything going on. People need to take the time to get to know each others friends before they jump to conclusions. Assumptions are the mother of all f**k ups. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 10:31:49 PM | | Yes, I beleive men and women can be just platonic friends without sex. Almost all my friends that I chat with alot are men and I don't have sex with any of these men. Any guy I ever dated or been involved with never had a problem or worry, with me being friends with men and the girlfriends of these men don't have any worry or problem with me being just platonic friends, with their men. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 11:12:23 PM | I have always worked with men, there are not many women in my field, so my best friends are men. There have been times when I've had to "clear up" some misunderstandings, but that never affected our friendship. I find men have a diferent point of view, and it is enlightning when I share my problems with them and hear their opinion. I ALWAYS ask my husband to join me when I go out with them so that he knows I have nothing to hide.
I would be suspicious if my husband did not let me join him when he is with his girl friends. | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 11:19:45 PM | I think he was blowing sunshine up your skirt...hes a hopeless flirt that needs constant womens attention...did he take you with him? I think men and women can be friends but on better circumstances..above board...not under the table. Not one guy and six women..what an a$$hat! I work in a firehouse full of guys, but would never cast my partner aside to to just go hang out without him..that would be cruel and disrespectful to him. This guy sounded like he was trying to be a"smoothie chuck".  | |

Posted: 3/31/2008 11:28:22 PM | No, men and women can't be friends.
Most men secretly want to sleep with those women.
Those women secretly keep those men around for attention and to help them move their couch one day. | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 4:14:53 AM | OH COME ON ~
Give me a break ~ those of you who say it's 'impossible'!! Most of my life ~ from my early teens to now (and I'm almost 51!) I've had male friends who were strictly platonic. Probably 1/3 of them have flirted along the line, but always said good naturedly "you know I'm just messin' with ya Cinders!" I look at all people pretty much the same, not as 'men' or as 'women' ~ just as people who caught my attention with something that interested me in some way. I'm a pretty approachable person, and I think people sense that. I will admit, there were some over the last 36-37 years that I 'fantasized' about, or entertained the idea of what it might be like with one sexually ~ but then seems I just end up laughing about the absurdity of it.
Currently, I have SEVERAL online male friends who aren't local, who are simply friends, many married and happily so ~ even introducing the wives to me online ~ and I have about 6 or 7 I can think of off the top of my head LOCALLY who are simply great people to talk to or do things (non-sexual things) with! They all range in ages from about 30 to early 60's. Those are my FRIENDS ~ not just acquaintances ~ big difference.
If those of you who think it's not possible for men/women to be platonic friends, I pity you! You're missing out on a whole different realm of human contact that can be pleasureable without being sexual. Or maybe y'all just haven't learned what it's all about ???? Whatever it is, someday you will get to that place of wisdom that tells your soul it's ok to be 'her' friend or 'his' friend and not let your hormones confuse ya. THEN you will have some REAL life pleasures!! | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 5:22:24 AM | For those that say no, you are your own worst enemy, is it comfortable living in a world of deceit, lack of dignity and respect for others. It so easy to live an honest life ,try it you might like it. To have friends of the opposite sex and to falsify your true intentions is not only misleading but you are really not a friend at all.
Friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent basis:the tendency to desire what is best for the other, sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart mutual understanding.
Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism (The golden rule of Ethics). Their tastes will usually be similar and may converge, and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 6:01:18 AM | | Sure, I believe you can. I'm married, and I still have female friends that I go out with for a beer and to catch up on things. Some are single, some are married as well...it's really no big deal. Some of them have been friends to me longer than I have been married. | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 6:47:29 AM | i dont think i would want to spend any time with any man (unless maybe if he was gay).. men are just so ****ing boring... so on those rare occasions that i am sociable i would only seek women... trust is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship for me...
when i was with my Ex... she sometimes slept in the same bed with other men... i sometimes had sex with an other woman once... The Deal was Honesty... we never lied to each other.. I would now only want to **** one woman... but if you trust each other ... you trust each other.. full stop | |

Posted: 4/1/2008 3:33:54 PM | Men and women cannot be friends without sex. While there is always the ODD exception - 99.9% of the time - no. Women seem to have no problem deluding themselves into thinking this is possible - and even the odd whack-job guy will think so - but the answer is absolutely not. Just ask the guys who are the FRIENDS of the girls to be honest - you'll see. Read some of the posts from girls who had male friends - see what happenned - and they're just the honest ones. ALL the guys want to sleep with these girls. ALL OF THEM.. Feel free to disagree, but please preface your comments with - "I'm sure I'm completely delussional, but . . . " | |

Posted: 4/2/2008 9:44:47 PM | Oops, I mean, I do have some platonic friendships with some men and I wish to continue being friends with others who want more from me but I just can't be more than friends.
It is unfortunate that for some people, it's either you have sex or goodbye, because you are wasting their time. But there are wonderful guys who want to have you in their lives just for the positive effect you have on them, and so it is possible to be real friends with a few. But believe me, they are rare finds and real treasures! When you find them, you hold on tight or you many never find another one. | |

Posted: 4/7/2008 10:55:54 AM | Wow.... you put that so well. I was about to move in with this girl I work with, she is 21 and hot. So I started to have these weird feelings for her before we about to sign the lease and had to back out. We are still friends which kinda suprissed me. Guess she might need me for something in the future. LOL
I am sure all the men out there know what those weird feelings were. LOL | |
