Can Men and Women be JUST Friends?

Discuss. And in what context?

Both my husband and I have GOOD friends of the opposite gender, and we're not friends with their spouses (or just sort of generally know their spouses). I've had several people tell me this is a recipe for disaster.

So what do you think? Can men and women be just friends, or is there always something UNDERLYING?

    I would have to say Yes. I work with all men where many are my friends and I wouldnt cross that line.
    I think as long as you are respectful of yoru spouse and dont give them any reason to worry then you should be fine.

    I have 2 guy friends that I have known for 20 and 28 years respectively. Best friends, never anything else. We have spent a lot of time together and on occasion, seen one another naked (granted before any of us were married) . Never been a problem. They both are now married and I know their wives well. The wives are comfortable with our friendships and if they weren't I would respect them enough to back away.

    I can go to them at any time and on a few occasions one or the other has been my shoulder to cry on and vice versa.
    I obviously think it can work out.

    I'm bisexual. Does that mean I can't have any friends and I have to bang them all?

    Forever alone and a slut.

    Exactly! No men or women friends for you! Just lonely for life. :grumble:

    Lol, I love all these responses.

    This is the third time in the past 2 months that someone has asked this question.

    I'm married. I've been with my husband for 15 years. We each have male and female friends. Yes, they can be friends.
