I've had many female friends with zero romantic feelings for each other. I really don't see how it is impossible. Yeah, sometimes you may catch feelings for someone that is your friend but generally I think its really easy to keep things from reaching romantic or sexual feelings.
Not only can I be just friends with guys I'm not attracted to, but I can also be just friends with guys I AM attracted to. It's like MAGIC, if magic were respect for interpersonal boundaries. Which is how I can also have casual sex relationships without them blowing up in my face (usually).
if i got it right you said you f your friends? sorry, this is a "with benefits" relationship, not actual friendship. we are talking about the possibility of a brotherly relationship between men and women.
Well all I can say is I don't have a problem viewing most women asexually. I can't tell if they have the same problem with me but if they are older or in relationships they seem to. Unattached younger women almost always seemed to want more. A wedding ring shuts that stuff down though.
yes but sometimes guys catch feelings, im friends with many beautiful women , my girlfriend trust me enough to know that she is # 1 and other women are associates and if they look better than her she will comment on something (gals way, i won't try too figure out) gals are always judging other women, and assume that you have slept with her , want to sleep with her or as my gal says all guys are dogs... ruff bow wow...
I think it depends honestly. My closest friend is a guy and we've been together for 15 years. But we became friends before the whole sexual attraction; we were 4 and 5. But most of the guy friends I have now that I've obtained later in life, are attracted to me and ultimately just wanna get in my pants.
I'd say that if I was given the greenlight with no strings attached; I would sleep with all the single female ''friends'' that I have. But I do not see myself being anything more than that together.
We are friends, we could be friends with benefits, but nothing else than that. Because at we point we both decided not to court each other. And I am ok with this and hope they are too.
Yes you certainly can but i would draw the line between you two and if he is single help set him up with a girl and make sure that is any feelings come up just start spending time with both him and his girlfriend so you become friends with her and the temptation to be with him will slowly go away
Is it possible to have close female friends who are friends and nothing more? Yes
At times does that require a modicum of restraint especially if she's desirable? Yes
Can you feasibly attempt to have sexual relations with all your friends of the opposite sex? I for one wouldn't have the energy even if they all up for it.
Being "just friends" is possible. It may not always be common but it is possible. I've never experienced it but i've seen those type of friendships and always envy them. What's better than a friend from the sex you go after? Free advice, etc.
Yes. I have platonic relationships with many girls - both at work and socially.
An easy example is if you simply do not find a girl attractive - you are only looking for friendship from the offset, and hence can easily have a platonic relationship.
Speaking from experience, they can be friends BUT they can't be close friends. If they talk to each other all the time and constantly get together, then no because something will eventually develop between one of them. To prevent feelings from developing, they have to limit their time together.
I think its possibly although rare.
Generally if you enjoy someones company, respect them, share common interests, AND also find them sexually attractive, then its likely that you'll want more.
I think it mainly works out if the guy is already dating or normally dates girls better looking than his friend.
So if his female friend is a 6 (fuckable) but he normally dates 8s then it he won't be as likely to do develop feelings for her.
YES YES YES
Believe it or not women are not attracted to every single man I see and men are not attracted to every women they see.
People can just be friends and enjoy each others company without wanting to jump each others bones.
If you mean, "Can a man and a women be intimate/very close friends, without high risk of one part falling for the other" then answer is no.
With very intimate friendship there is a very elevated risk of one of the two falling in love at some point, but obviously friendship is possible. Almost all men and women have friends of the opposite gender, it more about the level of intimacy that matters.
It depends I've had friends I didn't like but were attractive. We've known each other since 3rd grade... from time to time if alcohol is involve we make out. It doesn't feel awkward since well we've known each other for almost 20 years
Is today's society really so sexually perverted that this question honestly needs to be asked?
Wanted to start a debate since there's so many different views on this topic. Also if you look back at ancient times humans weren't built to have platonic relationships, just reproduce (animal instinct). Although in modern times very likely depending on circumstance (which remains unique to everyone )
What are you talking about? We are social animals. Of course we're built to have platonic relationships.
I will link my source. Give me a moment...
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XsFJFfegkj4 he says a similar thing. I am looking for my original source when I find it I will link it here
I believe that they can, but it is going to be under the right circumstances. There would have to be no desire to seek a relationship from either of the individuals involved.
Yes, of course they can be friends... but in most cases, only if there is no physical attraction between them.
Only if you are not attracted to them in anyway or you were not intimate in the past. I would find it hard if you are a previous boyfriend. I have a friend that is a girl but I am in no way attracted to her. I really find that it makes it easier when hanging out if both of you do not like each other more than a friend.
No man can become friends with a woman unless they are in a relationship.
i am friends with so many girlslol, some i only wanted friendship with, others i had other intentions... but yes men and women can be friends!
