I think best friends of the opposite sex are awesome! I have best friends that are male, that help gives me input on any and all guy problems I might have or need figuring out.
It's very insightful, and it's nice b/c it feels like a tight-knit group -- can't help but also feel that if I need it, they'll protect me like I was their sister. And it's great knowing that there are people that will back you up besides your immediate family
Its funny that you say that you have a lot of female friends because if a female was to say she has a lot of guy friends she will be judged for it. I have seen it happen way to many times before. I personally dont having a big circle of people as my friends. Its a waste of time for me. I'm 28, and have other obligations besides sitting around chatting on phone with people telling them what I have been up to. waste of time for me.
My best friend the person I take my bff selfies with and call when I'm stressed happy mad sad or want tacos at two am is a man. A straight man that has never and will never have sex with me. Guys and girls can totally be best friends
I find it weird, probably mainly because I'm a man who likes to do man shit. I have little in common with most women so I have little to talk about with them and they aren't into the same hobbies I'm into. Often these friendships are a little fake I think because one fancies the other while they both completely deny it to each other anyway.
There is no such thing as being friends with a girl you wouldn't sleep with or are not attracted to.
Sorry, they don't exist.
If a guy is friends with someone they are not attracted to then there is no motivation to hang out and they won't be friends.

I have the same, it's great to have (a best) friends of the opposite sex. For me it's easier to talk to guys and to get along with them than girls..
Less drama haha, guys can be straightforward and sometimes even less picky.
Also I've noticed that other girls often see you as competition..
My best friend (s) for most of my life have been males. I've never given a flying flip what anyone thought of it either, not even in grade school. It's not something I decided to do it just ended up that way. I guess i has a lot to do with common ground, hobbies, temperament, etc.
I think gender doesn't really matter. So opposite sex friends can be awesome. It always seems to matter more to those around 2 friends than the two friends themselves.
i have a guy best-friend we are very close and im also close to his girlfriend
They're awesome. I've got a couple go guys friends But personally I like females more. =)
In my experience, they are horrible because she either ends up liking me or her boyfriend gets jealous. I never had a lesbian or aromantic/asexual girl as a best friend. I prefer to not be best friends with straight/bi girls but I don't mind being friends/acquaintances with them...
About half of my friends are women. About half of my wife's friends are male. It's not a big deal unless you make it one.
My best friends are women. Actually, I only have one male friends. I just get along much better with women
Every girl i've dated, her female friends were VERY protective, which is nice but also kind of scary. And as for their male friends, if i'm dating someone it means i trust them, so doesn't really bother me.
I could only do it if they were ugly, promiscuous, or if they live far away.
If they are attractive, not a slut, live close to me, and have all the traits that I would want in a close friend, then I am going to develop feelings for them.
My best friend has never been a guy, but I've had a number of very close male friends.
My best friends are female but some of my closer friends are male and we all get along pretty well
I believe it is possible to have friends of the opposite sex but at some point things can get a little confusing, especially when one of them is vulnerable or something, the secret is not to do anything about it until the feelings go away
They're great, but in my particular case, we both developed really intense sexual attraction for each other.
And reason number 513 why I don't date. 🙋
It's cool you learn some things
Friends are friends, although, girl friends can be a lot more... work
I'm friends with females more than males.
I slept with several of mine... gets complicated!
