Wants can be quantified. You can want junk food but still have a higher want that wants healthier. Here we don't even ask this question. It's obvious from childhood that boys and girls can be lifelong friends. Might jerk off a few times when we catch them bending over at the beach, but you know, they probably have their boyfriends, or types incompatible with our own. Sexual desires don't have to interfere with friendship. Does it interfere with a Westerner with your best friend's wife?
I think a problem with the West is that it is no longer emphasizing this style of discipline. It is not making it sufficiently compelling to resist our short-term temptations in pursuit of longer-term desires. Plus there are insane postmodernist feminists and Marxists over there who are creating a rift between the sexes that might only be reconciled not with friendship but the rawest of mutual sexual desires.0 1 0 0Of course in a society that has vocal people assaulting the notion that men and women can be allies and friends with each other, it will be difficult for them to be friends with each other. That's a tautology.

It's not necessarily about sex. Men and women do not think the same, they don't share hobbies and interests. So how can they really be friends? Women usually think they are friends with men and men are stuck in friendzone trying to be more than friends.

One of my best friends is a guy, and we don't see each other in that way.
0 0 0 0Is he a good looking guy?
@TonyT1986 I think attractiveness depends on a person's perspective. I find him neither attractive nor unattractive. I had a friend who was very attracted to him, and another friend who had some negative things to say about his appearance. He has a unique look tbh
Makes sense why you are friends. I suspect if you were very attracted to him being friends would be hard.

0 0 0 0I think so. I've had female friends. Yes I have had sexual thoughts about them, but never acted on them. I think having a few female friends is nice.

Not a single one of them wakes up and texts ugly tina to see how she is doing. None of them go out of their way to spend time with ugly women unless its forced by social convention.0 0 0 0If one of them is sexually attracted to he other, than there's no point being friends. The only reason why I would be friends with a woman is if I would want more from her later. As a friend if it wouldn't bother her if we would hug and be touchy with each other than I would be fine being friends, but if touching and flirting sometimes wouldn't be allowed than it would be a waste of time for me.
