    Question men and women as friends?

    do you think men and women can be just friends?

    Personally i haven't ever really experience a true friendship with a guy.. One always want more than the other - discuss

    nope.....i've had this convo before too. guys and girls can't be friend without wanting more than just a friendship. At least guys can't be friends. Well...unless its a fat chick then i just want to be friends. lol

    I have often debated this point with girlfriends. I think its possible to have a male female friendship but i believe one always ends up with sexual feelings towards the other. I don't have any friends that are girls but If I did i would probably want to get in there pants!!

    IMO it's very possible I have several female friends and that's how it stays but sometime's things happen and someone crosses the friend ship line But in all you have to choose your friends very carefull..... as to who are friends and just some you run into and hang out with

    yeah no way you can be friends with your ex right after you break up. It's impossible. I mean i have a really good female friend. She means the world to me but i know she doesn't have the same feeling as i do.

    Only if the friendship is very casual. I mean I have a ton of girl friends, but mainly I dont talk to them too often. A phone call once a week or something like that and see eachother once a month maybe. But if you mean a close friend of the opposite sex that you hang out with all the time etc it isnt possible imo. Someone will always want something more of it, I have been on both ends of this.

    Exactly. Me too. My female friends I see or meet up with when I go out every other weekend or so. They don't come over to watch a movie or to watch Desperate Housewive DVD's...I do that alone...jk

    I have a girl friend that I use to talk to everyday...We have been friends for about 10 years and both slept in the same bed many of times and nothing has ever happened...We respect each other and know that were great friends and don't want to mess that up...So yes it is possible..

    I say it's possible. But 9 out of 10 times a guy will more than likely want more than a friendship. This shit happened to me not to long ago. The end result was him getting with my ex.

    No. Because the fur gets in the way. I mean you could have male friends but with the stipulation that any time he gets aroused you have to take care of it, then go on as friends as usual. Dont talk about feelings either... guys hate that shyt. Well, strait guys.

    I have several friends that are girls with no tension between any of us and it's been this way for years. They are very athletic and attractive as well so that has nothing to do with it. Some people just click as friends regardless if they're a girl or guy. I enjoy my friendships with the girls just as much as I do my boys. Plus a lot of the girls can keep up with us shot for shot haha.

    I have alot of girl friends (that's about all I see is girls) and love each one of them to death, but I would fuk everyone of them and they know it. I just don't see being in a relationship with any of them. Besides their are enough other girls to hook up with.

    It is very rare to have just a friendship with a girl because at one point or another someone wants more ,and in most cases it is the guy, unless the girl is unattractive than she wants more. There are some exceptions though, like a very close friends girlfriend. In that case you can be good friends and no feelings ever come up.

    Me and my X of 3 years just broke up. I love that @#$% . She says she still wants to be friends which I agreed. Now I am waiting for the booty-call rule to set it. I believe it's still 1 month before attempting.

    I think it almost always leads to one person wanting more, especially if you spend a lot of time together. Casual friends, maybe. . .

    I have / had alot of girls as friends. We used to hang out alone. Dinner movies , whatever. If you didnt know us you would think we were a couple. In the end i slept with everyone of them. If it was because we were drunk. Finally admitted we like each other. Or she broke up with her bf.

    If your 2 attractive people its a matter of time before it happens. One girl it was after 7 years. We dated for 5 months and broke up. She is still a good friend. I talk to her about my gf's.

    i agree with a lot of the responses that you can have a friend of the opposite sex and be kinda close, but not usually as a best friend. cept when i was a little kid in elementary school, then i had a girl as one of my best friends but tht's diff cause we were so young.
    I think there are only certain situations in which you can have a friend of the opposite sex w/o any other intentions, for example if you are both in a committed relationship already (i have a friend like tht), or if there is zero physical attraction which is rare because when you start to hang out w/ someone more and more of the opposite sex and u like them as a person more and more often u start to feel attracted to them.
    It makes a lot of sense tho as to why it wouldnt work if u think about it. b/c most ppl want a gf/bf who has certain qualities, and atleast for me I often look for these same qualities in a friend (loyalty, honesty, similar interests, funny). so If you start to become friends w/ someone of the opposite sex often they have all these good qualities (or else you wouldnt be friends). Now as soon as you add in the fact that they are attractive you realize they are your ideal gf/bf.

    to complicated. u cant help it, if you have a fairly attractive girl you get along with great, enjoy her company, and hang out all the time , and you both are single, chances are you are gong to hook up or somebody is going to fall for the other one. but if you ae both single, than what is wrong if it leads to this? sounds like a good idead to me. hell believe it or not, i have had 2 girls i was strictly friends with, we used to have sex,and had no strings attached,and were ok with the deal. i think at a few points in both instances, at times i fell fo the girl, or the girl fell for me, but we made a pack to not let it happen, and in both cases we would work it out and wouldnt let it become a relationship. it can be done, if both parties want the same thing

    I think men and women can be casual friends, but being really good friends with a member of the opposite sex usually doesnt work. Too many intimate details of one another's lives are shared, and so much time is spent together that the relationship will undoubtedly grow into something more.

    I have a much easier time becoming friends with women. Some of my best friends are girls.

    But lets put it like this. With those girl, we can be great friends without any feelings except friendship. But if one of them came over to my place naked and Im single I would not say "ohh no put some clothes on I dont want to ruin a perfect friendship".

    I've had this debate with a girl I'm dating now because she's got two "really good guy friends" that she's been friends with forever and things have never been wierd.

    I explained to her that she is really hot and the two guys are nice, but dorks, basically, and that if they had the chance, they would jump all over it! they've never mustered the courage to make a move, so now at this point, they just like the company of a hot girl now and then.

    there's also the friend of a friend theory.

    I may be friends with a girl b/c as long as I leave that friend channel open, it might lead to a hook up with one or more of her friends. There's nothing better than meeting a girl after one of her girlfriends has already vouched for you.
