Not only is it possible, it is also easier for me to maintain a stable "just friends" relationship with a guy than it is with girls.
I tend to get along with guys better than girls for some reason.
Most of the girls I meet are very superficial & catty, whereas guys tend to be more simple-minded & fun to be with.
I often find myself in the middle of this debate among most of the girls I know, because they think that just because I have a lot of guys that want to be around me means I'm some kind of slu t or something, which many of my guy friends respond to by stating that I am too much of a friend to consider as a romantic interest, & that since I am not the most attractive chick in the world, it would seem highly unlikely that any of them would be attracted to me in that way anyway. I
hang around guys because they understand me & don't pass judgement on everything I do, or trick me into a friendship & then try to back-stab me like a lot of my girls-friends have done in the past.
I don't care about stupid girly things like boyfriends or fashion or baby-sitting or who's cute & who's not. I like to focus on things that are real to me like politics & music (REAL music), & making things happen, & enjoying the less-superficial things in life, & that is what attract many guys to me as a friend & as somebody they can trust in for various low-points in life.
So yes, I do believe that is possible for two people of the opposite sex to be friends without physical attraction being a factor.

I think it is very possible to be with friends with the opposite sex and not be attracted to them, It can be very helpful because they can give you advice when you don't understand the opposites sex differences.

Yes, it's called cross-gender or cross-sex friendship. It's platonic. Both the man and woman friend gives the other advice on his or her gender as far as dating and such goes. But when a serious romantic relationship happens to one of the two friends (with another person) the friendship suffers, changes, or might very well fall apart. Spouses-to-be usually do not like to have opposite-sexed friends of their husbands or wives around. They see the friend as someone who would compete with them for their spouse, emotionally.

a lot of ladies human beings would have theory he's suitable. it does no longer be a count number of fault as long by using fact the thought substitute into stored to what's physically powerful.. whether, Jesus did no longer look like he's generally depicted. He would be properly geared up, particularly healthy finding, of dazzling genetic shape and subsequently having very properly symmetrical constructive factors, and would have been particularly surely particularly extremely alluring to the females.

Not impossible. I grew up around guys and most of us still talk even though I've been married for 9 years. And I married someone I didn't grow up with.
They kept me sane in high school, I don't know what I would have done without them.

Oh Of coarse!!! Are you kidding me? That's how it mostly goes unless you both mutually want to be in a serious relationship. Like you know, in movies, guy find girl, guy wants the girl to be his friend, he likes her now, she doesn't like him back like that cuz she thought he only wanted to be friends. Same repititive pattern all the time.

Yes, but it is not as common as women would like to believe - most of their guy "friends" have a crush on them.

Of course it is possible. I have a male friend who happens to be one of my best friends; it's a platonic relationship.
