What do you think about it. What about pure friendship between men and women?

[Erin1986]

In my opinion, I have never seen those so-called pure friendships between men and women. How could we be friends if it wasn't for opposite sex attraction.

[MrCommodore]

Pure friendship is possible if no attraction exists between the man and woman, but this is difficult for those of us attracted to the opposite sex, as we all get urges and desires.

[Erin1986]

Haha, there is no attraction they are always together, it depends on what?

[MrCommodore]

I meant that there can be some level of attraction between two people who are only/purely friends, it only becomes a problem and escalates to romance if that mutual attraction is quite strong. In cases where mutual attraction is quite strong, its difficult to be friends, as both find the other person to be a rival to any other love interest.

[Erin1986]

Yeah I don't think so either. There will be pure friendship between men and women.

[Berethor]

There was sexual tension with most of my female friends, I guess if the woman is very ugly?

[humanearth]

One of my best friends is female, been friends since middle school days

She was my best man at my wedding

So yeah, its possible for both genders to be friends

[MiamiMadness]

It’s possible if they’re not physically attracted to each other

[Erin1986]

So where does their friendship depend?

[MiamiMadness]

Wym depend? Like what are the boundaries of no physical attraction in friendship?

I'm friends with every woman I know. It's not that hard when you have mutual respect for one another. Maybe that's your problem.

[Erin1986]

What do you think pure friendship looks like?

[Opinion Owner]

Mutual respect, having someone's back, supporting thier endeavors, telling them uncomfortable truths when you have to because that's what friends do. You know when you have a real friend because they're headed in the door when the rest the world us walking out it. And if you can't count the number of real friends on one hand in a lifetime you're rich beyond measure.

[Jerre]

I think the sexual attraction is most important. Thinking of what you want to do with her/him.

[AmeerX]

I think friendships between men and women are possible

[Anonymous]

Wait, what does the picture have to do with the question?

[Erin1986]

Questions are only questions.

[Opinion Owner]

That's true, but usually when someone includes a picture with their question, the picture has something to do with the subject of the question. Otherwise, they are just using the question as an opportunity to post a picture of themselves to get attention or compliments.

[JustCantSleep]

It can exist yee.

[Erin1986]

I don't think there's a lot of pure friendship between men and women.

[jimmy2]

Never.

[Erin1986]

I agree.
