Or is there always something extra going on? This was a inspired by a comment I saw a few months back left under a Youtube video. The woman said she doesn't believe that men and women can be JUST friends. Of course this is assuming they are heterosexual. I've had many gay male friends but when it comes to straight males , well for me they have either been acquaintances or relationship type material. What is your experience?

I have a lots of women friends.

[Plaid Pants2]

Of course men and women can be just friends.

I have many male friends. I think people over-emphasize the attraction thing with men only wanting to be friends with a woman for one thing. We are all part of the human race and I treasure my male friends. I already have a husband and I'm not looking for another one.

They can be just friends, and I think with younger folks it is even more common. IMO that's a good thing. :0)

I have male friends. Don't think my husband would approve of my having lovers, and my friends don't appeal to me in an intimate way.

When I was military most of my friends were male and tried to be professional.

As an adult, I've always had male friends. One of my best friends, like a brother to me, is 10 years older than I am. I introduced him to my BF and they married not long after, had two children and a wonderful marriage until she died. He has moved to be near his daughter, but he and I are still like family.

I made many male friends over the years through my work, and feel it is possible for men and women to just be friends.

Absolutely.
