Can Men & Women be just friends?



So this is why it's so hard to explain it to women cuz they live in self-denial about it.

Anyone living in an open relationship, gratz for breaking the dogma?

Is it really the solution forl the problems or do we need to go deeper (or simpler) and ask Barney Stinson:

I believe it's impossible (without feelings or wanting sex with her)
and no, i don't have an open relationship
why ask a homo?

Parent
think the video sums it up quite well.
My hand is best :D and leftie :D
all girls said yes and all boys said no.men are stupid!
It doesn't change the fact that it's still one-sided friendship? :P
Parent

or get into friendship where sexual tension is properly handled? !:D
Parent
idk man ,i really dont know what to say,i mean who am i to talk for the rest of the world?as much as i know myself,and few experiences that i had,is from very hard to impossible,at least when that chick is looking good enough to turn u on
Parent
I think it's quite natural to get turned on by good looking girls and even more natural not to deny it, same goes for girls. of course it kinda sucks if shes not interested but I think that's mostly due to social pressure and people think too much about the consequences rather than live their lives. Everything with modesty though

Yes, I have lots of female friends.
1,that guy sees what he wants to see and makes conclusions he want to
2,being friends.. I think I misunderstood concept of friendship then. I like girls around me, I am friend with them. and fact I would like to have something with them doesnt change a thing. we are still friends.
it's possible but it's very very rare, I have a female friend that I have no interest in sexually, though she's the only one that I wouldn't do
it's possible, but it's impossible if you're in love with each other. i have the same shit atm, but i just told her i don't wanna be friends and it's the best way if we don't see each other anymore. it's hard, but you'll only hurt yourself if you go further with it, i just realized that.
Aha, great video.

But on the subject itself, it's very difficult to pinpoint an answer. Everybody is totally different and feels and reacts differently to situations.

Personally, I have about 4/5 close girl friends, and yeah, I would hook up with 2 of them if I had the chance, but I dont need to because If the worst was to happen, I'd lose a friend and I couldn't live without them.

Btw, we need more discussions like this on here!!
0.55 looks fuckable
possible but boring


can't talk with a girl about man shit when you can talk about man shit with a guy, can't talk with a girl about how you bended over that girl last night and she had a fucking bush between her legs or shit like that

got ofcourse girl friends, but no that close to call them "friends"

friend is a deep word(?)
I have a best female friend. We often go out, drink alcohol, talk, and stuffs like this. I've never dated her. There is nothing wrong in this.
I'm not jealous if she dates a boy, and same story for me.
And tbh, i don't think i could get an erection in front of her..
Perhaps it's because I got a twin sister, but I have no problems being just friends with a girl. She can be hilarious and fun, but that doesn't mean I'm automatically attracted to her.
Fairy cunt.

It's definitely possible, why the fuck not?

Do you guys only hang out with girls you want to bang? I have female friends who I wouldn't do if I were piss-drunk.
Hmm, but these are mostly ugly/ not my type of girl
Parent
Just as this one guy explained,
of course we're going to have "these feelings", but that doesnt mean that we can't be just friends..
having a sort of open relation atm :)

its pretty cool

but if i would fall in love with her, there are 2 options

you either become lovers

or your open relationship turns shit cause you'll get jealous, ending it and you'll feel shit
i got that female friend, which i really really like, and there is some kind of sexual tension between the both of us, and tbh i would give everything to be her boyfriend, but damn, its just damn hard to make it clear that i want something from her, without risking our friendship if she doesnt feel that way...
probably im just too beta for that shit, but damn, nothing has ever felt so hard to do like dat

and also "love" and "would do her" are totally different, i would probably do all of my female friends, but im only in love with only this very person
step up, u are obviously friends with her cuz u like her. tell her, its a win-win situation (if she says yes, win, if she says no, ull be sad for a while till u meet someone new even if ull think that this wont ever happend, it will, so its a win in the long run)
Parent
yes you are right bro :(
but what i fear the most, is the awkward situations whenever we meet to party/study/do other stuff etc when she rejected me (shes pretty sweet, so that doesnt make it easier (im good looking too, but well...i dont know how high her claims are so im kinda scared ;(
Parent
yeh well u pretty much got 2 options. u can either keep living like now and nothing will happend or u find out, she'll never step up because girls never do it, its the guy whos suppossed to i know it sucks but really if she rejects you with some time ull see it was not that big of a deal. and looks arent really relevant to a woman when it comes to dating, when it comes to dating is more about the attitude. looks only work for a night stand:p gl mate.
Parent
thanks man, honestly, thx for what you wrote, it gave me courage to step up, because i totally know you are right with what you said..and well i will probably always ask myself "what if..." if i dont do anything...and probably that would hurt more than a rejection :/
Parent
u are welcome, wondering what if... its always worse, if she rejects u it will only make u stronger with time and ull be less afraid in the future. if ur always with "what if" u wont get anything ever:D

In this video it's more that these girls are ego-centric fucks. They assume their male friends want to bang them and it's just that they aren't letting them that stops them (rofl), however this is unlikely.

There are situations when this isn't the case, everyone's had a friends with benefits scenario, at the root of that you're still friends, banging or not.

I have female friends whom I am very close with, some I've shared beds with that we just have absolutely no interest in each other that way. We're not "just" friends because that sounds like we're less than something we want to be. We are not, we are perfectly content being good friends.

"Just" friends is such a retarded way of phrasing it.

Your girlfriend?
Parent
I'd give you the long distance burn but that won't even work in 3 weeks :(
Parent
it's all about the definition. how would you define "just friends" "good friends" "friends with benefits" and lets say "relationship"?
Parent
dunno, i have lots of female friends and hooked with all the close ones who were hot. i dont like em in a relationship kind of way so id never fall in love with them.

fucked them and were friends like always. shits cool.
NERDS GOT ROLLED

simple answer - no
no, no and no. men who are saying otherwise are lying!
Offcourse possible, if the guy is gay
well it isnt possible but it aint the womens fault.
same goes just as well when a guy likes to be around a chick but she isnt hot enough to hook up with.
friends zone = male and female are friends but one is exponentially hotter

simple
let's be more than that :$
