    Yes. Half of my closest friends are men. A little chemistry can be there but it doesn't have to mean more.

    Men and women can't be friends because they might get attracted to each other.

    In other breaking news, bisexual people don't have friends at all. For us, there is only prey. I've actually never had a single friend in my entire life.

    haha. I grew up really close to my brother so I get along well with guys. Get along well with girls too but I don't see why we all can't be friends

    Yes. They are hard to come by but I have met a couple of guys where it's 100% platonic on each side.

    So glad you mentioned that film! I am so in love with Billy Crystal's character! Even though I don't agree with him :P

    Of course they can. All it requires is maturity and seeing besides one's sexuality.

    I'm still friends with most of my exes, and my husband with his. Totally possible.

    Yes..... I'm divorced but my spouse was fine with me having men as friends.

    I have a handful of strictly platonic friendships. Actually every guy in my life is platonic right now. I'm liking it that way. So yes, totally can be done.

    Loved him in city slickers. The thought is there. The maturity is not to act on it. Also a big difference in a friendship and an aquaintance as you don't get as close relationship wise

    It's obviously possible. Just not likely at all lol.
    Usually one is hiding feelings.

    I think it can be done. But being married tends to be a different ball game.

    Not in my experience unless one of them are hiding their true feelings
