Can a man and a woman be just friends?

Most people are sceptical about it, because they say that sexual attraction will ruin the friendship at one moment or another (probably we should talk about fuck buddies sometimes, too).
Personally, I've always had male friends, and even best friends, so I do think this is possible.

I have male friends. Nothing close. The one we were very very close ditched me because I got engaged and "moved into the grownups land"

Yeah I know. Mature.

I guess my gay best friend doesn't count..?

Haha, guess not, cause it's almost like a female friend I used to had one too, until I moved to France and lose contact
Anyway, what I wanted to say was that gay friends don't count for women, because most of the people seem to say that sexual attraction and/ or love is what ruins a friendship between a man and a woman.

P.S. It's nevertheless so relaxing to talk to a man and not see him drooling due to some thought that you wouldn't want to know

BWehehehhehehe

My husband is my best friend but I think he doesn't count either

i'd say yes. i have very good male friends, nothing sexual had been implied, ever :)

From a man's point of view:

Yes, it's very possible. It's not like men are instantly attracted to EVERY woman they meet, let alone be friends with.. Quite a shocker, I know, but its true. :p

Well as shoking as it is, most of them ARE attracted to me, but it doesn't mean I shouldn't have any male friend They seem to overcome their need to do less friendly things to me

I have various guy friends I am just friends with. It's possible as long as you both are -and stay- mutiually uninterested in eachother in a sexual way.

We should also talk sometimes about boyfriend-to-friend thing. I heard that's a myth but I am managing pretty well with at least two of my ex-boyfriends.

And yea Denniesie, we SHOULD discuss fuck-buddies sometimes :3
