| Can men and women be 'just friends'?
Posted: 2/9/2006 1:39:49 PM | I'm a psych minor and I have to do a paper on this topic. I'd love to know everyone's opinions about it.
Mine is: I think they can. :) | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 2:57:53 PM | I think that men and women can be "just friends". I've been friends with lots of guys that nothing ever happened.
I also think people can be friends when a relationship ends...provided neither did anything awful to the other person. I am in touch with 3 guys I dated over the last several yrs. 2 of them helped me with this move from the Toronto end. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:13:48 PM | | Most definitely they can be friends. I've got more male friends than female. It's all in the mindset. If both people truly want to be friends, and neither is harbouring any secret wish to be more. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:19:51 PM | some men and women can be friends
some men cant be friends with women cause they still have no real respect for women and usually want one thing so even friendships they have with them fall apart.
and theres some women treat male friends like a bf and demand and expect and drive most men away.
then you get men and women who arent like that.
and gay men are said to be a womens best friend lol
so it just depends on the kinda person you are | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:28:47 PM | Sure they can thats easy one. Now give us a hard one like can goats and chickens be friends or worse sheep and newfoundlanders be friends? Woops, ya forget that one bad choice of players.

Posted: 2/9/2006 4:30:05 PM | | I agree with the person above, eventualy (or right from the start) one usually likes the other more and settles for friends hoping for the chance to make the other realize how a great a guy/gal he/she is and decide to be more then friends. | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 7:29:41 PM | | it can be done but there is a fine line....and it depends on which the circumstances arise..for instance if they start out as friends...if they meet up and one likes the other and the that person says lets just be friends...if they try something and both split it off and would like to be friends as a mutual thing....many factors...can it be done....sure..does it always work/last...hard to say. emotions play way to much of a role | |

Posted: 2/9/2006 9:24:28 PM | | Yes I believe men and women can be just friends. As long as the friendship is mutual, there is trust between the two , and having a good communication and being there for each other there shouldnt be a problem. If one person likes the other more well it should be discussed further in detail that the relationship is based on friendship only and nothing more and hopefully it will remain as it was or ending the friendship. | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 4:48:00 AM | What is all this about good communication and fine lines needed to be friends with the opposite sex?? I have a ton of guy friends and aquaintances and that stuff has never been an issue...like meeting a friend's bf who becomes my friend....I don't think attraction or questions of someone liking someone more comes into play ever..
Sometimes I just meet people I click with on those friendship levels, male or female, who cares....the fact he has a penis...doesn't need to be an issue | |

Posted: 2/10/2006 7:26:25 AM | | Yes Dimples I definitely agree with you there 100%. I am a people person, enjoy conversations with both male and female. Just bitter right now. Meeting the wrong male friends lately. Just been awhile getting back into the swing of things. Once you get to know me more which you will I will be making some comments in here. It would be nice to meet new friends. Nice to meet you. | |

I don't need to even consider jumping on my female friends because they have some pretty hot single friends, sisters and cousins popping more out of the woodwork every day. | |

Posted: 2/12/2006 12:33:08 PM | | Sure, but what is friendship by your definition? Some people might consider intimacy to be maybe sorting their socks together, and some having sex. Sure most of society might consider sexual contact to be the line between friendship and not friendship, but a swinging couple might draw the line at emotional support and intimacy, and their sexual needs being satisfied by a outside party a few hours a week trivial. | |
