Yes. Have some cool male friends. I do think there will always be some sexual tension between men and women...that's just how our brains and bodies work.0

Men and women can be just friends, but there is always a level of attraction between the two. Whether they act on that attraction is where the problem can come about if a person is in a relationship with someone else. I don't mine if I'm with someone who has female friends, but when he spends more time with them (confiding in, or hanging out with) more than me it poses a problem.You should not be spending more time with your girl friend more than your girlfriend.0

Absolutely! As long as the guy is ugly and the girl would never have sex with him.
On a serious note, 3 years ago I watched 60 Minutes special that analyzed 3 married couples and the "experts" picked out which ones they thought would end up in divorce. All 4 experts picked the couple where the stay at home mom had become best friends with the stay at home dad next door to end up in divorce because she was getting her emotional needs met outside of her husband. They also picked the couple where the wife was sleeping in another bedroom with the baby and had refused to have sex with her husband for over a year because she said she was too tired. The third couple was this gorgeous model who was married to an older, heavyset, balding man and all of the experts said they had the best chance of staying together because he doted on her, cared about her day at work, and showed her affection by continuing to "date" her long after they were married. She had no interest in the hot male models she worked with on a daily basis because her husband was so devoted to her.
That's how the show went. I have no idea if any of the experts were right. If there was a follow-up, I missed it. But I do know my good looking ex-boyfriend is my best friend and my ex-fiance's jealousy over our friendship tore us apart even though he lives in alaska and i live in texas and we haven't seen each other in 5 years. so i think it has a lot to do with each person's insecurities.0 -

I read page 1 and page 6...Oddly enough page 1 says yes predominantly and page 6 says no...
Weird.
I'm going with yes. My best friends are guys. I would however say it's because we've known each other FOREVER and have a healthy respect for NOT TRYING TO GET IN EACH OTHERS PANTS.0 -
Dunno I don't have any female friends in my life to comment lol
Any takers for a male friend? lol0 -
Nope. I even send my gay friends not gay.0

Absofreakinglutely. I honestly don't understand how this is a controversial question. In my opionion, you can have attractive friends but not be attracted to them. Attractive and attraction are two different things.0

All my best friends are males. And they are 4 of them. One is my MAIN best friend that we share everything and the others are just my mates you know. There is sexual attraction now and then with one of them but no big deal about it and we never ruin the nice way we support each other.0

Of course.
The problem starts when you also find them sexually attractive, then it's hard.
Teehee, you said "it's hard."0 -
My two best friends are both guys - met them through my boyfriend. Have NUMEROUS other male friends. My boyfriend and I joked around that I would have to have a "man of honor."
I have always been one of the guys. It can happen. It's called respect.0 -

FWB ONLY. This is how I view all my friends of the opposite sex. And if they don't end up as FWB I let them go, it isn't going to work.0

Truth. If they're friends with me, they're already getting an awesome deal. I need to be getting something out of it too. And by that, I mean I wanna bang.0
