Can men and women be "just friends"?

I can be just friends with a guy, but they usually cant be just friends with me. True story. Which is annoying.
But what if I don't find you sexually attractive at all? It would be easy to be friends with you I think.

I have women that I am "just friends" with. So I would say, yes.
Reverse the gender and this applies to me. Quotation marks applied correctly.0 -
I'm bisexual, does that mean I can't be friends with anyone...
Of course. And since you're bisexual you're obviously interested in everyone. Everyone.
Whether at the same time or have them form an orderly line, that's your call.0 -

Somewhere, someone is missing their sarcasm meter
I'm not missing it. Maybe I should've put a :laugh: to indicate I got the joke :flowerforyou:
ETA:Yes. Every. Single. One.

of course. & yes, friendship (between/among any of the genders, of any sexual persuasion) often involves some marginal element of physical attraction, which is sometimes sexualized, sometimes not, sometimes one-sided, sometimes not, but, you make a decision about how it's going to go & manage it.0

well you can and are friends with me online. but we could never meet in person cause once you caught a whiff of my pheromones or mojo or ladyaura it would be a whole 'nother story.0 -

No, you don't look like my mom or anything but I need some personality and spark before I can click with someone. You're just too nice and sweet for that I think.0 -
I've had this talk a bunch of times with people.
Guys and girls are different creatures.
If a guy is your friend and has never asked you out it is because:
1) He doesn't find you attractive.
2) He is waiting for you to be single.
3) He is waiting to be single himself.
4) He is gay- see #1.
5) He is biding his time in some strange plan he concocted inside his head for the 'right time.'0 -

Except this isn't true. I have had a female friend for 13 years. I find her attractive but I value her more as a friend than as anything "more" than that. I never once was waiting for her to be single, or biding my time, or any of that other nonsense.0 -
Yes they can. I have had some female friends that I don't feel any attraction to. They are beautiful women. It's just not like that for us. Before marriage we shared chat on everything from date stories to sports to idle chit chat. Since marriage we don't talk about romance issues to prevent any awkwardness (especially when we had probs with our significant others). We had boundaries and that's how it worked for us. I've had (in the past) friendships with women where the boundaries were not set firmly and those friendships faded away.
I think the key is being honest with yourself and your friends about feelings and boundaries.0 -

I'm going to break it up into groups and choreograph it.0 -

Nope. I value her far too much as a friend.0 -

Exactly, this is someone who has been with me every step since I was 16. We went through teen angst together, found/lost love, and became adults together. And we even talked about "us" at one point and decided that it wasn't going to happen.0 -
My best friend is a guy, has been for 9 years and I do not see this changing any time soon so yes.

Most definitely! I get along great with guys. Love that there is no drama in the relationship like there is with other women.0
