yes I do.
My best friend is a guy, and he is married.
I am friends with his wife, but he is my best friend!
We talk openly and honestly about everything. I am single so he gives me great advice from a mans point of view, and from a friends point of view. He will do anything he can for me, and I for him. His wife has no problem with us hanging out or talking. She told me that the first time she met me, she saw that I was a good friend to her husband and that she trusts me. She also trust her husband. I asked her why she trusts me with something so precious to her and she said, " I can tell that you will do us no wrong, no harm, and that you are a good, honest woman, besides that you are not his "type" "
Our relationship has gone from friends to more of a big brother little sister relationship. We can go to eachother for advice and just as a sound board. We understand eachother and eachothers priorities.
His is his beautiful wife, and mine is my beautiful daughter.
Now with anyother man, I have never been just friends w/. In the end they all want to be more than friends if you know what I mean. :) I have truely found a good friend, in a man.

Absolutely! Once the question of sex is settled (and there's none between them), men and woman can have very normal and healthy friendships.
My best friends in college were two gay men, for example, but we all cared about each other very much and were always there for each other, through heartbreaks and poverty and all kinds of troubles. We cried on each others' shoulders. We made birthday cakes for each other.
At work I have several male friends, some of whom are much older than me and we are all married, so there's no sexual tension here. But we get along great and sometimes go drink beer together at happy hour, and laugh.

Yeah I do think that men and women can just be friends. I have a few males friends that are just friends. But sometimes ''friends'' turn into feelings that turns into not being their ''friend'' anymore. Yes its possible, but in certain cases its hard. I guess you should choose your male friends wisely b/c if you develope a thang for them...it makes things difficult, and someone may end up getting hurt. Hope this helps!

Yes I do think that man and women can be 'just friends'. I am still good friends with an ex-boyfriend. We were friends before we dated and even though I am married and he is dating, we are still good friends. Most of my friends in school were men since I didn't agree with or like the superficial crap of girls my age (makeup, hot guys, sports, etc.). Sometimes you can gain better understanding of the opposite sex when you hang out with them more than your own sex. The best way to go about it is to find members of the opposite sex who are almost like your counterparts, liking and believing in the same things as you, and you gain a unique point of view.
