Guys can just be friends with a girl

I believe that holds true for some. But maybe not for others.

I’ve always had guy friends over the years. Purely platonic. And they are just as good as friends as girls are.

I’ve always had a lot of male friends without any weirdness. Maybe it’s just because of how I am but I really don’t get what the big deal is.

One guy I once heard about shared his apartment with a girl 'friend', and when he brought a potential girlfriend home she did everything she could to wreck their new relationship. Not all girls are like this, but there is a tendency with some to feel put aside if the friendship is viewed in the wrong way - i'e. possessive.

I should add my own post to this group lol..

It frustrates me though to no end that people are like no they can't

and if you ask why inquiring further they'll be like because the guy will always secretly want to sleep with the girl.

and I guess my frustration is a followup ]question

I’d rather work with males any day of the week. Lol They are not as moody nor competitive with females.

Absolutely! And it can be completely platonic. However, most guy friends you've ever had, has considered having sex with you. Maybe not everyone, I can't speak for all. Men are just wired to consider sex with eligible women.

Yes, in short.

{@tory67] yes it is part of our human make up to have friends of either gender with friendship in mind and no strings attatched

Yes it’s perfectly natural but people are so gung ho about the me too movement it’s hard to trust anybody anymore

Maybe they can. Sadly I've never experienced it without feelings or sex getting in the way.

Yes. My best friend is a female and I've only been her friend and nothing beyond that.

It is indeed possible.

Maybe they were not sexually attracted to you no matter how beautiful you are.

Or maybe some of them are gays.

Yep . If you don’t mind them staring at your boobs ! 😉. I have lots of guy friends

Some guys want to be friends while others want to be more than friends.

Yes, we can. It's just more difficult for men. It is how we are wired.

Of course they can. I’ve always had platonic male friends. People who claim it’s not possible are saying [b]they[/b] can’t be friends with the opposite sex.

Can they be friends with a handicapped person

I've heard it can happen

Agreed. I have a few close women friends. They are attractive, but it would be strange dating them now.
