    Yah it can happen

    I have quite a few good friends that are female, and there is no awkardness or tension at all

    I have had two male friends that I wanted to be just friends with. It didn't work out with either one as they both wanted more. However, as I have grown I do have many male friends and we have great relationships. ON THE OTHER HAND. One of the two male friends that wanted more, is NOW MY HUSBAND of almost 27 years!!!! Life is a great trip isn't it?

    i have a few male friends, some of them straight, and we're just friends. always have been. always will be. hell, for one, i was just a groomsman in his wedding last year.

    i think that the idea that men & women can't be friends is terribly heteronormative, sexist and out dated.
    Yup. Most of my friends are guys too. I'm just not a girls girl. Always has worked out fine for all of us.

    As someone mentioned previously, everyone needs to get the movie "When Harry Met Sally". It will explain it all and is a fantastic movie. :flowerforyou:

    When I was single I always had more guy friends than girl friends. I even managed not to sleep with one of two of them. Generally, I think men and women can be friends but there is usually a curiosity.

    I agree with the last post about the curiosity thing.

    It's funny that in this thread, almost every guy is saying its not possible, and almost every female is saying it is possible. This is because for females, it is possible for them to have a guy friend. However, every guy, in the back of his mind, wants to bang his "friend". Its just the reality of the situation. He may never act on it, and they may grow old as friends, and she may never know about it, but he wants to bang her.

    Truer words have never been said my brother preach on

    I think that a person can be friends with another of the opposite sex. My husband and I have mutual friends, but one of them is a woman who is unmarried. She is a good friend to both of us, but her interests are pretty much the same as my husbands. They go fishing togetther, make beer together, and do outdoorsy stuff together that I am not too interested in. I am always welcome to go along, but many times I choose to not go along. I have no thoughts of anything other than friendship between them. I totally trust my husband, and it is the same for him.... he trusts me. I think there are some people who have trouble with the this type of arrangement, but they have inner work to do to discover why they would cheat on one they loved.

    I have one female friend I've known my entire life, but she's more like a sister. Other than that I haven't really gotten it to work. One person always seems to develop feelings for the other, and then it's done.

    Yes I do.. I had a guy friend and although I did have feelings for him (we started off dating for a couple of weeks then he friend zoned me) we kept it friendly. Granted we skinny dipped several times, held hands and maybe cuddled watching tv all while wasted though... in retrospect, he was like a brother to me. We laughed, joked, talked about anything, got completely trashed, slept over at each others places, went to concerts, clubs, shows, etc..
    So yeah, I do think they can.
