Yes they can be friends but ........ come on if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend and you are going out with only one friend of the oppisite sex then your bf/gf might have a good reason to call it a conflict of interest in that relationship. I think its time for people to think about something besides sex, we already have enough STD's going around.

I agree many people getting married have no business doing so - but a lot of it has to do with bad choices, and having a little 'package' on the way. Again - its all about choices, control and knowing who you are with. Alot of people jump into marriage for the thrill of being married, and other non thought out reasons.

AGAIN - (this is the last friggin time i am saying this) - if men friends are like my brothers, and i am like their sister - isn't wanting to jump in the sac together sick? AND AGAIN most of my male friends I have had since we were children, the others for 15 - 20 years - if thats all they were interested in - I think they would have given up by now.

And when I am dating someone - I bring my male friends and boyfriend together, for I have nothing to hide (and neither do they). And I get a good perspective of it all. I have been warned by my 'brothers' in the past as to what the guy was really like, I ignored, and voila - heart broken - because they saw something that I couldn't see - and it wasn't because they wanted to break us up - its because they are VERY PROTECTIVE of me, and want to see me truly happy. The reverse side of the coin, I have met some of their girlfriends, and I have gotten along with most of them. And I was able to give this one friend of mine the scoop on this one girl - who was all over other men at the club, and even disappeard in the parking lot with one of them. I told him to watch out, and he did end the relationship. I didn't tell him because I wanted to jump him - I told him because i care for him, respect him and I didn't want to see him full into this and get his heart ripped out.

YOu can care about someone of the opposite gender, and not have sex on the mind 24 hours a day. Especially in 15 years, you grow out of that 'club set' mind.

Its hard to say whats normal, personally, I wouldnt mind having sex with my sister even if she wasnt hot since her bedroom is right next to mine More people need to have an open mind and stop being so narrow minded about relationships. Who thinks up these restrictive rules?

Its not even worth wasting our words anymore - if thats what you think - then you will never have the ability to have a real friendship with a woman.

I have my male friends, who I respect and care for - as they do me
Thats all that matters, peoples opinions who dont have a clue - doesn't.

I found it near impossible. I am such a highly sexed out person that if I promise myself that I won't lust after an individual and keep it clean, I inevitably get all crazy on their ass for some. I must say though, last night I changed all that with someone I was ummm seeing by telling them that I didn't want to ummmm date them anymore and not even wanting to do the nasty once more for old times sake.
Damn, age changes a man methinks. lol

Fernicus, just because you and millions of other people have intimate desires for their friends, doesnt mean a few rare cases shouldnt negate the rule. Theres always a few who dont think they need rules. Its the millions of others we could try to help, the normal people.

oh here we go again - we are not normal...
If the status for having a closed, negative mind with a biased view of the world is normal...
I am proud to be a freak then
besides - normal is boring!

but from what a couple of posters on this thread are saying - for us to have relationships like that with men that are more like our brothers - because we don't want to jump eachothers bones and have respect for eachother...
we are freaks...

Absolutely, I do it every day. My best friend is a beautiful woman. She knocks people out with her looks, however we are not "into" each other. We would never void out our relationship like that.

It is possible. I have many very close friends who are male and we have never so much as kissed. Now ask me how many of those male friends have thought of me being more to them at some point and the number drops. A truly platonic friendship between both sexes is rare but it does exist and it can be done. In the few friendships that I have like this, we also have an unspoken agreement that when one of us is in a relationship, we kind of back off to give the other's relationship a chance. Most people can't accept this kind of friendship with their partner and understandably so. Any sane person would find themselves less confident if another woman or man were a bigger part of their partner's life then they were.It's just human nature.
