Why can't men be friends with a woman?

[Akam93]

I feel like when a man is attracted to me they don't want to be friends.

Well when men are attracted to a woman, of course they want to be more than friends. I think the same applies in reverse.


I disagree with the notion that guys can’t be friends with girls tho. Maybe it’s more difficult. But I definitely have friends who are girls. It’s not impossible.


I think one big factor is for guys, the difference between friends and relationships are very blurred. For a lot of guys the same criteria or qualities they want in a relationship also apply to friendships. For girls (making a huge assumption here based on what I’ve observed), that line is a lot more clear. But I could be totally wrong.

You are attractive. Guys can still be your friend. But do you find your looks to be a reason why they can’t?

[Akam93]

More so their feelings for me.

[BarryLiverstone]

Well friends have feelings for someone they are friends with. But supportive feelings right?

[Akam93]

Yes some do.

Men and women cannot be friends if one or both persons are attracted.

I treat gals the same way as guys to the point that quite a few people thought I was gay, but women either 1) think that I'm trying to sleep with / date them and so cut me off 2) want me to ask them out but get frustrated when I don't... so they cut me off.

I get tired of the mind games, so I mostly stick with dude friends now.

Mature people can be friends with each other even if there is some physical attraction

[LiamJHayden]

We can be. My best friend since I was four is a girl. Three of my five closest friends are female.

Why are women so incredibly naive about this issue?

We can, but you did just answer your own question

[LimitedBenefits101]

Str8 men and women can't be friends it's very simple.
