Can men and women maintain a platonic relationship?

Couple of my best friends are men. But then I am basically a dude with boobs. My husband is totally cool with whoever I hang out with, because he trusts me. And vice versa. He can be friends with whoever he wants. Unless she's really hot, then I'm gonna kneecap her if she so much as looks at him.

I'll repeat myself. Yes and no.0

If you are a woman: yes
If you are a male: probably not0 -
my best friend is a man0

Of course they can, my best friend is female and I've lived with her for 6 years.0

Yes.0

Of course. I have a platonic relationship with lots of men.
hehe0 -
YES! If they aren't attracted to one another. :P0

I think it CAN be done, but probably easier when you're happily married to someone who isn't jealous.
I agree with this... I have a platonic friendship with my best friends husband, but my husband is the jealous type... The type that thinks that there is no such thing as being just friends with another guy without there being anything sexual.. and I mean every single one of my guy friends he thinks that about.. I have been friends with guys for years with nothing going on.. Especially during my go kart racing days... ALL of my friends were guys and nothing sexual going on at all.. but if the tables were turned and we were talking about him being friends with girls.. then that would be ok in his book... its a double standard..
Bwahahahaha0 -
I think so. I've had male friends who I had no attraction to- I can't say if they've been attracted to me, but I've had entirely platonic feelings for males. It depends on when you met, how you met, etc.0

Of course they can!0

I Believe it's possible and some of my friends are guys but the point is always one person have crush on one another that don't show ..0

I was reading an article the other day about this and nope its not possible. Maybe for a little while but eventually one of the two would want more.0

My first wife and I did for over a year.0

Yes, they can, at least for a while. But if there is any kind of sexual spark between them, even if just on one person's side, it can be very tough.0
-
It can be done if at least one person is not attracted to the other. If 1 person is attracted to the other, he/she will remain in the "friend zone" if the feelings aren't mutual.0
