Is it true that guys can never just be friends with girls?

[Anonymous]

Is it true that guys can never just be friends with girls, there's always flirting or attraction and would you allow it in your relationship if your boyfriend/girlfriend has friends of opposite gender?

[EricSummer]

When I'm in a relationship I can be friends with women without any problem. I'm naturally faithful.

Instead it can be a bit of an issue when I'm single. I may easily start desiring the woman if she is attractive. I could then not be "just friends" with her. I would either need to take a distance or go all the way.

Of course, if she is not attractive to me it will be fine.

[misogynistic_pig]

In my case, I don't feel any kind of attraction towards my female friends, anyway, excluding gossip, friendship with women has nothing interesting and is boring, so in general men will not seek friendship with women unless they have some sexual interest, plus it's embarrassing to have ugly female friends.

🤣🤣🤣 Well said

I’m female, my best friend is a male. We’ve been friends for 15 years. I made a move on him once, got shot down hard. We’re still very close to this day. Can confirm there is nothing between us unless he hides it extremely well - but I’m 99% sure there’s nothing from him.

[Anemone978]

You defiantly can be just friends.. I wouldn't like it if my boyfriend had lots of girls as friends tho or a best friend that is a girl because that is some dodgy things...

[OlderAndWiser]

Anyone who believes that statement is very ignorant and narrow-minded.

[WanderingLoveWizard]

Quite the opposite. No matter how intelligent and advanced human society becomes (or think we are), we'll never defeat nature. Especially our own nature

[zagor]

@WanderingLoveWizard Really? Are you physically attracted to every F you meet?

[OlderAndWiser]

@WanderingLoveWizard I have had female friends and had absolutely no desire to do anything with them naked

[WanderingLoveWizard]

@zagor yes

[WanderingLoveWizard]

But it's not about wanting to fuck them all the time. It's about the rare occasions where it could happen.
I've had drunken sex with ugly female friends. Shit happens

[WanderingLoveWizard]

But I'm more talking about when you're in a committed relationship. If you're single, befriend all the women you want. Then sparked flames and rare incidents of sex won't matter

[OlderAndWiser]

@wanderinglovewizardd If that's how you need to do it. . . go for it.

My best friend is a girl. She's not my type, and I spend the night at her place often. She's comfortable being naked around me or even sleeping topless in the same bed, and I don't give a singular shit about it. It would be harder if I was attracted to her. I ended up shooting her down a long time ago, and now she's actively just searching for partners usually through dating apps. A handful of the men felt insecure about me, because they cannot accept that I don't want to f*** her.

If you won't allow your boyfriend to have friends of the opposite gender then you are a control freak. How would you feel if your boyfriend would not allow you to have any male friends at all? Maybe you should unfriend all your male friends on Facebook before you talk of controlling him.

[BeMuse]

I've considered plenty of girls/women just friends over the years. That said, women tend to get attracted even when you treat them like a friend and don't flirt at all.

[WaterIsland]

No I don’t agree with that. It’s possible to be friends. It’s more difficult and you have to be honest. But I’m friends with some girls, and don’t think about them romantically at all.

[Anonymous]

Guys don’t need you around unless we are interested in you.
we can’t be ourselves when women are around, they judge us for everything they don’t like or agree with.

Women use guy “friends” for attention and male benefits without having to put out.
Men don’t need women for anything but sex. We can get true companionship, loyalty, etc from buddies and even dogs without being judged and without having to mitigate who we are.

[Tyrael]

I personally wouldn't be comfortable with it. Obviously I don't want to seem controlling but I know what guys are like.

[Anonymous]

Yes we can. If she’s ugly then yes we can be friends. If he’s gay yes they can be friends. If she’s not willing to get w him cause she doesn’t like him in that way than all they can be is friends.

[zagor]

That is completely false. Anyone who says otherwise needs to get out more. I've known many cases, both for me and others, where guys and girls are good friends with no complications.

[Nikki1989]

No, of course not. The world is full of women with male friends.

[ImalwaysrightOK]

it's only possible if neither is sexually attracted to the other, otherwise no way no matter what others say.

[Sour-rose]

Depends... who dafaq told you this booshi? You see dogs and cats being friends, right?

[RavVid]

Not entirely. Some girls we don't want to have sex with.

[Surely]

I believe that being friends is possible with the opposite sex. Sex can sometimes ruin a great friendship!

[Anonymous]

It's true if the girl is attractive and the guy is straight.

Not true. What you generally CAN'T do is be a friend decide to be more and then go back to being friends. Not in all cases. But I'd say in most cases.

[Anonymous]

I would say it's not true, but people who say it is aren't that far off base if I'm being honest

[TrillXHippy]

Is it true that girls can never just be friends with guys? It’s not true

[Pohjolan]

Some guys can't and then project it to men in general.

[Anonymous]

depends if there's physical attraction or not

[SaoirseS]

No, it's not true.

[In_Trance]

Men and women can't be friends

[slatyb]

No, it isn't.

[Oatmeal2]

Yes.

[mommymommymommy]

Very
