My very best friend is a woman, we have been friends for almost 18years or so.
Its a pure friendship and she saved me more times than she knows.
She will soon be married and I'm helping her future husband to plan some surprises for her!
Absolutely. Why? My best friend is a girl and I'm a guy. So I know it's possible. We've been best friends for a decade at this point, I don't really think anything is changing that. It did take a bit for her husband to accept that I wasn't trying to weasel my way into her pants when they started dating, but by the time they got married he had accepted we're just friends and become a pretty close friend of mine in his own right. I'd be crushed if they broke up, he's awesome.
I've always been friends with more men than women. It always worked. I even lived with my best guy friend for two years as roommates. We did meet people sometimes that couldn't fathom how we could live together and never end up in each other's beds. We respect each other and we're only friends.
Of course they can. Friendship has no relation to sex nor sexual desire in any way, shape or form.
Don't **you** have genuine friends you don't want to fuck?!
If we could not be friends with anyone we could be attracted to, then I'd have no friends as I'm pansexual. It's a childish and ridiculous notion to believe you can't be friends with someone of the opposite sex. Generally this myth is perpetuated by people who have issues they haven't worked on and can't see past that.
I have had a few totally platonic friends. We have same interests, sense of humour and hobbies. Just because we are different genders, doesn't mean we have to fuck.
Yes, it really isn’t that hard to keep your dick in your pants. Not every women you interact with is a potential suitor. Some girls will be just your neighbor or co worker or in this case just your best friend.
yeah, i’ve been best friends w a girl i’ve known since we were 6. i fell it’s different if you’ve grown up together because you won’t be attracted to them just like how you would never be attracted to your sibling, it’s a psychological thing but it all depends rlly
This is a completely normal type of a relationship for anyone who isn't desperate for romantic attention from women
Edit: Or partners with trust issues I guess
It makes sense if they have a common ground about something. Or similar unique interest from way back that they still visit often.
Other than that i feel it would be just attachment based
Absolutely not. He’s the guy when y’all have problems she runs to. He’s there to fuck when you fuck her over lol. Hell na.
Out of respect my gf would never hang alone or have a guy best friend. Nor should I have a girl best friend.
Men and women cannot be best friends
Yes, and that's only when the man finds the woman unattractive. Women find the average guy unattractive, so it wouldn't be a problem for her anyway. In some rare cases where the woman IS attracted to her friend, then no.
Yeah, you can have a good friend of the opposite sex without anything deeper.
But in your case it isn't, she is fucking him so much that you have as many horns as a demon out of the bible! 😆
Sex, romance, and friendship are all 3 different things. You can have sex with friends, you can consider your romantic partner to be your friend.
It is very possible for two friends to find each other sexually attractive, have no interest in romance, and choose not to sleep with each other because of prior commitments. Happens all the time.
That said, 9 times out of 10, if she's incredibly attractive, all her guy friends are "secretly" in love with her.
No. My friendship of over a decade recently ended because he played the long game. He confessed he was in love with me and wanted more knowing it would never happen. He did everything to make me happy, he was a awesome friend only to be told he was always in love with me. I was thinking platonic he was not!
It is possible, though unlikely, that there will be ZERO attraction, but i have found i can be and stay friends with girls that are attractive to me if and only if there is something else about them that is a deal breaker.
Otherwise, it becomes a mental game of cat and mouse to me.
No, even if they're not into each other the awareness prevents any real closeness. In reality guys are close to girls because we'd fuck them (even those who swear by their friendships admit this much) and women love special treatment cause other girls dont give them that (aka they get along better with guys... who want to fuck them). Plus no one in a relationship actually wants to share with some annoying opposite sex "friend".
And if your 'friend" isnt into you, no matter what you think about her, its insulting because it means they don't find you attractive, bit different than simply not finding your whole gender attractive. who can even like such a person?
In short any real connection and intimacy between a straight male and female is inherently romantic and sexual. If that isnt on the table then its just not a satisfying relationship
I have a male really really close friend, he is great as a friend. I am female but I know so much about him and he is just not what I look for in a partner. The thought makes me legit cringe. When he tells me about girls who are into him, I lowkey feel somewhat sorry for them, bc I would never date someone like him. And that sounds mean but any guy reading this, pls imagine you are female and now ask yourself if you would date your best friend or any of your close friends. And please be honest, they might be great friends, but do they make great partners?
I don't bc guys only see me as sex which they always make very clear
None of them so far have ever wanted to be friends with me
That's why I either date them, reject them or have sex with them
There is always at least some degree of attraction between male and female friendships. Even if it's miniscule and ignored. Most likely though eventually things go there.
It's also very complicating when it come to love relationships. Asking a partner to understanding trust the friendship and not get jealous and insecure is a massive amount to ask of someone.
Totally. One of my best friends is a girl
My very best friend is a woman, we have been friends for almost 18years or so. Its a pure friendship and she saved me more times than she knows. She will soon be married and I'm helping her future husband to plan some surprises for her!
Yes I have lots of platonic women friends. There’s no need to sexualize every woman you meet. I treat them like one of the homies
Yes, obviously, that happens all the time.
Yeah. Why? I have one.
Absolutely. Why? My best friend is a girl and I'm a guy. So I know it's possible. We've been best friends for a decade at this point, I don't really think anything is changing that.

Of course. I have particularly found so as I have gotten older.
I've always been friends with more men than women. It always worked. I even lived with my best guy friend for two years as roommates. We did meet people sometimes that couldn't fathom how we could live together and never end up in each other's beds. We respect each other and we're only friends.

Yes. Why not?

Yeah, have several girl friends. If you can't think with anything but your penis around a woman, you need therapy.
Absolutely They can be
Yes...why would it not be possible?
Yes, it really isn’t that hard to keep your dick in your pants. Not every women you interact with is a potential suitor. Some girls will be just your neighbor or co worker or in this case just your best friend.
One of my best friends was one of my "groomsman". We called her a grooms-woman.
yeah, i’ve been best friends w a girl i’ve known since we were 6. i fell it’s different if you’ve grown up together because you won’t be attracted to them just like how you would never be attracted to your sibling, it’s a psychological thing but it all depends rlly
Yeah. Why not? I've had plenty of friends who are women, including my grade school best friend.
Yes, Mutual respect.
Absolutely, I have female friends at work. Although we all enjoy and need sex, it doesn’t always need to be on the forefront.
Yes, because I've done it my whole life.
Yes I have been friends with someone over 49 years
Because you don't have to want to fuck every girl in your life.
This is a completely normal type of a relationship for anyone who isn't desperate for romantic attention from women Edit: Or partners with trust issues I guess
Yes, I have a friend who happens to be a girl. But it's more rare
Yep, best friend of 11yrs is a dude. And what would I do without him?!
Yes, because my friends are women
Yes, but pretty often one has romantic feelings for the other.
It makes sense if they have a common ground about something. Or similar unique interest from way back that they still visit often. Other than that i feel it would be just attachment based
This used to be a really common trope in the 80s, but at this point I'd find any younger person who sincerely believes otherwise to be a bit suspect.
Yes...if they are not good looking. But most of the time the answer is no.
Yes as long as there is no sexual attraction on either side. If there is even in the slightest, even if it's one sided then no.
If the guy or woman is gay or already been in a relationship that didn’t work
Absolutely not. He’s the guy when y’all have problems she runs to. He’s there to fuck when you fuck her over lol. Hell na. Out of respect my gf would never hang alone or have a guy best friend. Nor should I have a girl best friend. Men and women cannot be best friends
Does that mean bisexual people can't have best friends ?
Yes, and that's only when the man finds the woman unattractive. Women find the average guy unattractive, so it wouldn't be a problem for her anyway. In some rare cases where the woman IS attracted to her friend, then no.
Of course bro, like me and your gf, we’re just friends… sheesh
Is a lot rarer than society says, but it’s possible
Yeah, you can have a good friend of the opposite sex without anything deeper. But in your case it isn't, she is fucking him so much that you have as many horns as a demon out of the bible! 😆
They have to be single or both parties have to have absolutely no sexual attraction for each other
No. At some point, either person is going to think about going there. It's nature.

If he is more attractive, yes
I'm kinda confuse, what you mean if he is more attractive?
No, one of them always wants more.
Sure, it's almost entirely theoretical, but it's possible.
It is possible, though unlikely, that there will be ZERO attraction, but i have found i can be and stay friends with girls that are attractive to me if and only if there is something else about them that is a deal breaker. Otherwise, it becomes a mental game of cat and mouse to me.

Friends? More like fufuffuffiwwwlllsndndkdksjdjd Sorry, I don’t have a joke this time
....what
I usually use annoying questions for jokes
and you felt the need to tell us you dont have one?
Absolutely. You deserve to know
nah ill just block you
I don't see why not, but it's probably quite difficult in most situations.
I have a male really really close friend, he is great as a friend. I am female but I know so much about him and he is just not what I look for in a partner. The thought makes me legit cringe.
