    I have had female friends that were just friends. The key is to find someone of the opposite sex that you are so unattracted to and be their friend. Yes it may sound shallow, but if I am not attracted to them I obviously won't want to have sex with them.

    I have male friends that I find attractive and will only ever be friends. I don't think it is impossible.

    I think you can be attracted to people and still be friends. I mean...it's just about knowing where the boundaries are...Some of my long-time guy friends, I think of more like brothers at this point. If both parties are in a happy relationship, it makes it a lot easier as well....although I do have some guy friends that I don't talk to or see much when they have serious girlfriends bc that's the way it goes sometimes, usually because their girlfriends don't like them having close friends that are girls...I'm cool with that though. haha

    Totally depends on how you define "friends." If a "friend" is someone you might want to sleep with but never actually follow through, then sure. But if we're talking about genuine friendship, I think that's only possible if there isn't a mutual sexual attraction.

    In general, if two people find each other sexually attractive, they will never be "just friends." And I don't mean "Sure, he's/she's good looking." I mean "If I could, I would screw his/her brains out every single day." If you think of each other in that way, then you are not just friends, no matter how good you are at concealing your desire to sleep with each other. And all of this "Oh, we'd never do anything like that! We're just friends!" posturing is a bunch of bull****.

    Only if they're wearing snowsuits, snorkels, and a chastity belt.

    THEN and only THEN should it be ok.

    This dude sounds fishy- yes. Why be your friend when its convenient to you? That sounds like a opportunist to me.

    Alright now I don't know if I agree with the wording here. What does it mean to be "just friends" it makes it sound like a bad thing!

    Of course men and women can be friends. You can find someone attractive without being attracted to them.

    I repeat:

    /You can find someone attractive without being attracted to them./

    Going by the notion that men and women couldn't possibly get by without banging each other then I guess bisexual people can't have friends at all because they might have an urge to "date" them. *rolls eyes*

    My good friend is a handsome guy, but we work better as friends. We don't want nearly the same things out of a relationship. I don't get why thats so impossible
