Can it remain that way or is the sexual attraction going to affect the situation?

It's possible for a man to be friends with an attractive woman but not be attracted to her. If there is a good friendship between them there is no reason to let sexual attraction get in the way. The better he gets to know the woman the less he will notice her outside appearance and the more he will notice her personality.

it depends. is the man attractive also?? I think two mature well adjusted attractive people can be friends for a while. But if they're both single then eventually something more might develop. It has happened to me a few times. I still to this day have many attractive friends that are women, but I don't want a fling so it's easy for me to control myself and not ruin the friendship.

It might very well be conditional. I have a LOT of female friends, associates, and the like, and many of them are quite attractive. But I'm committed to my wife, so I've acknowledged to myself that they're hot and I get on with being friends (or co-workers or whatever) with them. I don't let it get in the way of whatever we're doing, whether it's working on a community project, doing something at the office, volunteering at my kids' schools or whatever. It's an important skill for a mature adult male to learn -- how to have a focused, businesslike conversation with a good-looking woman without trying to hit on her. (Hint: Looking her in the eyes helps...)
Now... if I were single, would it be different? I wonder. The woman I married started out as a friend -- we were, as a matter of fact, introduced by my girlfriend. We were part of a bunch of about six friends who did everything together in college. We were friends for three years or so, each of us dating other people throughout that time, before we finally got to the point where... well, I'll admit it, we were at the movies and I could no longer keep from kissing her. That was in 1977, and she just headed out to buy dinner makings for me and our three kids, so I guess it's working out all right. :-)

Of course!!
Do you wanna do her too, do you think about sex all the time when youre around her? Of course!
Just because theres sexual attraction doesnt mean there cant be a friendship.
How does the sexual attraction affect the situation, well of course theres more of a reminder that you wanna have sex with her(guys wanna have sex with almost all women) its just a little more than usual.
I have lots of attractive friends, of course I wouldnt mind hooking up, but it doesnt change the fact that I enjoy hanging out and talking to them

I have male friends and they have all come on to me and I don't even consider myself to be attractive. I really do believe that sexual behavior will get in the way of a male and a female's friendship.

No way. The sexual attraction always causes a conflict.

Nope it is very possible. Especially if the woman has no attraction for the man. She will actually be flattered with it and get used to it. She will like having you around.

Yes. If the man draws himself ( and the women) from the predetermined sexual mindset then it is possible to be friends. If ones own sister.brother is attractive then does she automatically stop being your sister.?????

Yeah, sure a man can be friends with a woman. If she turns him on, then I wouldn't know about that. Maybe it would go farther in the situation.
