Do you think men can have female friends?

Someone I talked to said this and it had me thinking. So he said men can’t have female friends because usually one person finds the other attractive whether it’s mutual or not. I said men can have female friends. Like I have one female friend that I find attractive then I have another that I don’t. For me if I like them it goes into how often I see them (see more then I like more), her looks, age (23-27 I like girls older than me) and personality. So what do you think?
