Yes

No

Holy crap that's a difficult question. Very binary. Which I sometimes do, and support, but geez, man! This'll crack a brain.

I guess I'll answer it by saying... I mean, sort of, no. However, because there is such a natural draw towards (for people who are hetero), it [mostly] makes the headaches worth it? (Many will disagree with that, but my opinion is it ends up a plus, overall.)

The options are obviously - be single, live with friends, live with family. And none of those living arrangements, and lifestyles, are without drawbacks. So humans really can't live in any one way, in complete happiness or peace. So if you're going to pick the lesser of various evils, many of us choose the opposite sex. And we know we're going to argue, and there's going to be frequent disagreements, and friction, and compromise that never ends, yada yada. But it is a choice.

Granted, most relationships do eventually end (and not by death or circumstance), but I try not to call most of them failures anymore (except marriages that only last 2 years, for instance - that's just a 'what the hell were they thinking?), just because they don't last to infinity. Ending amicably is a good goal. Too bad more people can't do that.

And as far as friendships go - well, even same sex friendships don't last forever, so we can't expect MORE, we should expect LESS, realistically.

I guess I see a ton of problems. But I choose to continue interacting and to have all sorts of relationships with the opposite sex. Just like with everyone in life, we should still continue to try, right? It's narrowly a net gain, in my opinion.

I still have no idea which way to answer your poll.

I’ve always gotten along extremely well with my male associates but that might be because my associates always share my interests such as in the same bible study / taking the same religion class / have the same views about our job / have the same morals / I get along with females too but I like men more because they are funnier and more direct

[Rocco7070]

The essential element maybe starts with things in common, right?

[Unit1]

I do.

And if someone is not, then they should get away from the bitter online places, instagram, MGTOW and feminazism. Open their eyes and stick their nose out of the front door. Nowhere do I see men VS women fights. I see men and women holding hands left and right.

[djmzes]

Simple they will.

The real question is are you a man or not based on your way if thinking, behaving and acting.

As long as it's not online, absolutely.

[Smoke-n-Growls]

Yes.

Most normal, reasonable people will get along well with others regardless of gender. Even sexists and bigots usually present a fairly reasonable facade for a time.

Only the most unreasonable and antagonistic people assume enough to make a strained relationship with someone of the opposite sex just because of what they do or don't have between their legs or on their chest.

[Regmorus]

Usually we run kind of parallel with seldom intersections, lol, so I can't really tell much based on personal experience.

Judging from what I observe generally in real life well-developed people generally always get along regardless of their additional qualities, properties, natural differences and labels.

And those people who don't need to (be) change (d) anyway.

My view on the matter is women tend to have more friemds thag are also women and men tend to do same thing where a lot of their friends are guys and not all girls soo going by that logic id say no we dont get on aswell with the opposite gender regardless of if your male or female we just tend to stick close to our own gender when it comes to making friends.

[MaC691]

The only answer could be "that depends on both persons." No one can tell what can happen. It could be short term, it could be long term, it can end, it can go on forever. Nobody can really tell. It only depends on both of the persons and their feelings towards each other.

[Browneye57]

I think it takes some years for everything to meld together, to work through differences, power plays, to accept the other at face-value.

Guys get with girls hoping they'll never change.
Girls get with guys thinking all along if they bug the shit out of him hard enough and long enough, he MIGHT turn into something she can stand to be with. ;)

600 years ago the world population is estimated to be about 400 million people.

We've crossed 7 billion people living in this world.

I don't think that happens if men and women don't get along.

[silvermoon84]

Depends. If you pair the MGTOW/Red Pill guys up with hardcore militant feminists then probably not 😂, but if it’s just regular guys and girls kicking it without all the gender war bullshit I think they would get along fine.

[Jjpayne]

I think we can... Sometimes we just have to respectfully understand our gender differences and from there we can have peace and connection with each other.

[FatherJack]

Yes , it does depend on the individual more than the gender. However the genders are wired VERY differently , so some misunderstandings will occur , and the genders tend to have different interests and needs / wants.

[RingOfFire]

I think men and women love each other and hate each other at the same time. To me the relationship between men and women is the most interesting, complex and exciting relationship of a lifetime.

[sensible27]

Sure, if someone want to talk about things I wanna talk about I don't really mind or notice the gender.

[Aliceinwonderland22]

Depends on the people really, but I personally have seen little issues between guys and gals in my life getting on and working well together

[Anonymous]

Not in middle eastern countries. You would hate men there. I knew a woman from my homecity chopping her husband's head for cheating on her since it is seen "normal" there that men can cheat and she can't handle and kill her husband

[jshm2]

Kid. Do you seriously think the worlds 6 billion+ population came about by magic, rape and test tubes?

[chapawapa]

No because most men suck.. Come fight me hoe 👊🏽😡👊🏽

[Anonymous]

Before the internet and smartphones my relationships with women were better because we really depended on each other.
Now I don't think that we need each other enough.

[ineedatan]

It depends on the relationship dynamic they have and the level of maturity of both genders.

[Luna1998]

I think so, i do have male friends that ill chose to spend time with them more than any female friends.

[sensible27]

Pressumably because they're also dating candidates?

[sensible27]

And maybe just maybe you find that/them att*ctive?

[Luna1998]

Nahh just friends, nothing more

The guys who like girls for their bodies usually go for the girls who like cars and money--- because they're both seeking that in another person. Most people are drawn to what they're seeking--- the importance of their own values. Obviously I'm not speaking in absolutes.
There are a lot of good people in this world, we just have to be patient enough to find them.

[Opinion Owner]

@KingdomForAKiss "like these girls, like these boys. Like these boys like these girls. The girls with their bodies like boys with Ferrari's."

"All of these boys and all of these girls, losing their soul in a material world."

Song doesn't disagree with you.

[KingdomForAKiss]

Yes, I was giving support to an existing opinion, not disputing it.
