Based on relationships that I've been in or had a chance to observe fairly closely (say my friends) I would say that it depends on the definition of "just friends". If he is physically attracted to her that will always be a factor in their relationship, but it can be sublimated rather than consummated (if you know what I mean). For that to work, if they are each attracted to the other, it has to be what they both want and even then it's risky. If the attraction is only one way (e.g. he's attracted to her, but she's not attracted to him), it can work, unless he tries too hard to make it more than "just friends", which can end it. If the attraction is both ways and one of them wants it to be more than just friends (especially if it's the woman who wants that), it almost certainly won't stay "just friends".

Yes. A guy can be "just friends" with an attractive woman. Though most of them seem to fall to the weakness of their immorality...........and some even do so on purpose.........there are some who can see individuals as who they are. And sometimes the attractive woman ends up being the one who isn't so attractive on the inside. (for the guys who see past the ordinary)

The plain answer is YES... but it's unlikely... it has a lot to do with the circumstances.
Personally it has happened both ways with me: I begun being friends with a very attractive girl, and pretty soon I developed a crush on her and eventually made her my girl. On the other hand, I met another beautiful girl and also became friends with her; she had a guy but we hit it off real good and I could have had good chances, but that's when I met her guy and became friends with him... and ever since then I completely ceased to see her as anything but my friend... and by the time they eventually broke up nothing changed, she was my "bud" and still continues to be after 11 years, hopefully for many more to come!!

There will always be sexual tension. Doesn't mean they'll end up sleeping together, but that sexual tension will always be the elephant in the room and if they really want to be friends, the issue would have to be addressed. Now, the real question is how many guys want to be "just friends" with an attractive woman.

Yes, we can. My Wife and I, have quite a few attractive female friends. And in my business, I see alot of attractive women around. Its great to be associated with them, buy not touch them.(not that I don't think about what could happen). "Its a good thing to be in a rose garden, Just don't touch or pick the flowers"

Without any bounds - it is tough (root level) - although one will condone the friendship from the outside (societal constraints). Of course this is with the guy's inner perspective (irrelevant to whether the girl gives out hints or... that would be a killer..)
With bounds - OK just friendship will stay in order,,, like ur boss, or supervisor, or ... (again, comes under constraints group..)

Yes, it all depends on the women, that is what is wrong with the women of today, they fail to realize they hold the key to everything. It is all about what you will or will not do. If you choose to be just friends then yes. Most men will not admit to this but is is very true. Women have the power. God bless

Of course, you could be friends with anyone. Sure a guy can be friends with an attrictive women, but he will get a little nervous or if he feels just confortable. They could be "just friends" or he could be using her to tell all his friends that he is best friends with a major babe! But I bet that the friendship will work out and they can be friends without any problems, no puking, ERECTIONS etc.

I actually happen to be going through that problem now but somewhat different. Yes, people should be allowed to be friends with the other gender without somebody thinking that is has to be more.I've learned not to pay attention to what others might say, you should too.
