It was being discussed in a radio show this morning, and they came up w/ the conclusion that no, because eventually it will lead to sex, or a relationship...

You should watch "When Harry Met Sally". It ponders the same question. Billy Crystal's character comes to the same conclusion- no, guys pretty much want to nail all women, friends or not. I subscribe to the same opinion. I think people who believe otherwise are just disillusioned.

Yes you can be just a friend without having relationship. for eg : Take your brother or sister, you are close but will you have relationship ?? So you have to think your friend as your brother or sister then definitely that is possible. And very important your friend should also think in the same way or else that will be a total misunderstanding between your friendship...
But dont worry about others or the rest of the world...
Wish you a good friendship !!

Yes, it is possible. However if there is any attraction at all it will lead to more. I had a best friend for about a year who was a guy and it lead to sex. We were friends after but it was never the same again. But I do believe that it is possible.

Yes they can I had this discussion with my friend Barry a few weeks ago actually and sadly unless both parties can get over the whole male femal edynamic the friendship won't work but if you are mature enough to think of them as a friend with no sexual attraction you can have the best friendships in the world. It has always worked for me as I don't get along to well with females but I can have strong friendships with men and just friendship on both parts.

Yes it's totally possible. Believe it or not some of my best friends are male. I actually preferr it that way. And no it doesn't lead to sex I've been friends with most of my male friends for 10 15 and even 20 years and its never even been thought of.

Yes you can. It really depends on the people involved. Me, I can be "just:" friends with any woman. I stay true to my partner. Like I said it depends on the people that is involved. I have many women friends and they will stay that way. No need to ruin a good friendship over sex. You can get that anywhere now a days.

Absolutely! Some of my dearest friends are men, and as long as you understand the true meaning of friendship, it can be a great asset in your life.
It is another one of those things in life that should not be sterotyped.

I think Men & women CAN be friends-sex could be a factor but it really depends on the persons involved and where could it go!!!
