Yes as long as they sleep together.0

Men and women can ABSOLUTELY be "just friends." It's all a matter of willpower.
At some point throughout any real friendship there will be some form of attraction. You are FRIENDS after all - there's a REASON you like each other. The question is whether or not that attraction is so sexual in nature that you can't turn deny your instinctual desires.
Another important point is whether or not both of the people in question are already in relationships. If they're single, we call that "meeting somebody and falling for them." If they're committed elsewhere we call that "cheating."
I get along better with women than I do men. I'm not sure why, I just think it has something to do with a lot of guys' huge egos. Because of this, I've had a lot of friendly relationships with women. I have/had feelings for most of those friends, but I don't act on it. It's a matter of respect and logic. If they're in a relationship, they're off-limits. If I'm in a relationship, I'm off-limits. If there are no signs that there's mutual attraction, it's not worth destroying a great friendship. Simply put, it's not my place to say or do anything in most scenarios. I'd rather have a bunch of great friends than a bunch of awkward acquaintances!
Anybody who says they don't have feelings towards their friends is a liar. Whether those feelings are just simply liking them for being great, adoration, lust, love or just plain kindness doesn't matter - they're still feelings. It's how you act on them that makes the situation.0 -

Yea if the chick is not attractive
Was waiting for a guy to say it, haha.
Hot girls are just too much for straight guys to deal with because you can't help but think about the sex. Exceptions to this, is if the guy's SO is hotter and they have that Romeo and Juliet level love.0 -
In my experience, depends on the boyfriends/girlfriends.
I'm not the jealous type. my boyfriends have always been free to have whatever friendships they want. In my mind, if you want to be with me, you want to be with me. I trust that. If you want someone else, let's break it off and move on. No reason for the jealousy bit.
HOWEVER, most of my boyfriends have gotten jealous of my relationship with my bestie (who is guy)0 -

I have one...but he's fundamentally f*cked up and my fiance knows that I would never EVER date him. But he's been my friend since kindergarten. He also texts and BS's with my fiance and they're comfortable around each other so it's all good. I do have male friends that my fiance doesn't associate with, and he's fine with that. If i was going to sleep with them I would have done it by now. I'm the one that has a problem with his little hussy followers. He keeps telling me not to worry. When they try and sleep with him, they are no longer in his life or I'd lose my *kitten*. This has happened 3 times already. I trust my fiance with my whole heart, it's the women (even though they know we've been together forever, I'm raising his 10 year old with him, and they don't stand a chance) that p!ss me off...0

I have some REALLY good guy friends. Anytime someone asks I say we're "just friends". Keeps their wives off my back, and prudish people from calling me a *kitten*.0

I try very hard not to let that happen.0

Well.. It's different for everybody, I guess.
Me and best guy friend (whom I can tell anything to) were attracted to each other when we first met. Nothing ever happened. We just got know each other, and left it at that. Good friends. I lost the attraction real quick.. he was goofball, not that there's anything wrong with that. But I just didn't feel anything.
A couple years ago, my ex SWORE something went on between us and never allowed me to hang out with him 1 on 1. Which I hated, because my friend is so fun. I would go on lunch dates with him all the time.
My current boyfriend asked me the same question, but I simply said no. And he left it alone, and doesn't mind me talking with him or hanging out.
It's hard sometimes I guess. Or maybe it's just me.0 -
Nope.
The more I know her and like her as a person, the more I want to sleep with her.0 -
Yes I am perfectly capable of being friends with a woman.
And if they're attractive I'm capable of being friends (with benefits) with a woman.0 -
I have lots of male friends. I think I get on better with blokes than women. I'm married with 3 kids, and most of my friends (regardless of gender) are about at the same point in their lives too. We're all too effing tired to think about rooting each other. We can barely be bothered to give it to the people we have at home.
So yes, i can be friends with blokes without any strings attached. And their other halves don't mind.0 -

I believe so. Some people don't take marriage seriously, unfortunately. That's when there's a problem. Been through that ****.0

I'm friends with many females. Some clients, some acquaintances.

I have tons of female friends i am not ****ing:) why not??0

I am sure this has been talked about before. But I can not find anything.
Can a guy and girl be just friends, nothing more? Both are in a relationship (married, or engaged).
Texting one another OK as well? Not just friends at work?
I have a lot of guy friends. Just friends.0 -
I will eventually try to sleep with a friend that is female. It might take 20 years, but I will. For me, I don't know that it's possible to truly just be friends. The facade of friendship will be there, and if you ask her, "we're just good friends", but if a situation arises, I will go for it.
It's kinda messed up though. Lol. But, I can't help it.
Most guys are like that, you are just honest about it.
I like how women buy the whole "he never thinks of me that way" trust me at one point or another he imagined making sweet sweet love to you. He just values the friendship too much to risk coming clean.0 -
Agreed.If there's no physical attraction to each other...I think it can work.0 -
Yes. Most of my friends are women, though most of them are gay.0

Sure, but as a human - you can totally want to do someone/something and not follow through on that desire.
It's a rare day that I leave my house and fail to see someone that I'd like to "do". But I don't.
Similarly, it's a rare day when I leave my house and don't want to smack someone. But I don't.
Guys and girls can certainly be friends. It's a bit insulting when it's suggested otherwise.0 -

My hubby has dozens of female friends. He texts them, messages them on FB, goes to lunch with them, buys them bday and Christmas presents, heck he has been the birth coach for one of them, and none of this is the least bit threatening to me because he is 100% trustworthy. I think it depends on the people involved.0 -

My guy friend is like you. I know if I ever gave him a chance he would. Lol0 -
