Why Is It That People Think Girls and Guys Can't Just Be Friends With No Kind Of Romantic Feelings? (Page 2)

[BetteDavis]

Not sure, but I have had lots of male friends at all ages. I’d suggest either emotional immaturity in themselves or in their friends of choice that don’t make it possible.

[desperatelyhungry]

In my experience, it can happen but usually only if one of them is ugly so that the other one isn't attracted and the one that's ugly know they don't have a chance.

[Dav1ss]

Because soem people wouldn't want it to stay a friendship and they are probably the people who hold this opinion

[Lemia]

@Dav1ss We friends without Any Romatic Feelings aren't we?

[MissDawn7961]

I am just friends with a guy named Curt ! we have been friends for like 10 years ! we have never had sex but we have kissed and such

[kitty71]

Also add that people say a man and a woman can't be friends not only for the reason you stated but also because men will think in getting ladi and have sex with that woemn or the friend especially if she is attractive

[Anonymous]

I only can be friends with people who i dont think is attractive to me. I mean can you be only friends with people look like shawn mendes or lana del rey? Haha but i think it is possible to be friends with your opposite sex but not being best friends. Then how exactly do you define being friends? For me it is only talking about some subjects i am interested in or about work and hanging out a little bit but not more

[wittymilf]

Because of human nature we are supposed to couple off and procreate. A friendationship will not be exactly the same as a friendship

[arabgoddess]

I can't seem to maintain a real friendship relationship without the other wanting more 😕
Why couldnt I just have my husband as my best friend?

[Cactusqueen]

Some lack the understanding that human bonds go beyond sexual motivation.

[BatmanofGotham]

I think they can be friends with no romantic feelings, but I think most people are referring to the fact that there will always be some kind attraction between a man and a woman

[Somethingwittty]

Why push away good people? Good people are good people

[Harmseygrace]

Well I did the classic fall in love with your best friend thing so maybe it's partially true. He's left me now though.

[sassygirl13]

Never worked for me. They always catch feelings then the friendship ends

[Nic1330]

because the media has made it seem unacceptable to just be friends with the opposite sex without wanting something more

[ginger_supremacist]

They can, but if they're both attractive, they are gonna find each other attractive to some degree and since they're friends they also like each other, which is the perfect mix for romantic feelings.

[Sevenpointfive]

i had a few female friends that i wasn't attracted to

[Milkycup]

No one really thinks that anymore to be honest, except moms and people who watch too much cartoons/anime.

[Frankiealaplaaja]

They can actually. Just as long as there's NO attraction between them.

[askuser]

TBH I only talk to guys I'm interested in romantically.

[SpiderManFan2002]

Really? I couldn't do that lol- I'm in a computer science class which is mostly guys- I can't be interested in them all lol xD

[zagor]

I've had female friends in the past, with no entanglements. Though there were some who wanted there to be.
