i used to think that no, they can't....
but that is just immature...when i got older i realized that sex is only an issue if you make it one...now i have a really close male friend....most guys will probably answer that a female friend is just a waste or that they've missed the window and got stuck in the "friend zone"....but those guys have got to grow up....i'm not going to lie...sexual attraction defiantly makes for a rocky friendship...but ultimately its your choice.
i value my (true and close) friendships as much as a romantic relationship.

Honestly... that is a fine line right there. It is hard to be friends with the opposite sex because sooner or later there will be some sort of sexual tension between the two of you. Unless one is gay or a lesbian. That is my opinion though. I know I wouldn't be comfortable with my guy having straight female friends and I know he feels the same way about me with male friends.
For the guy who said that it was interesting on how all the women are saying yes and the men are saying no. Its because those ladies aren't seeing how their male friends REALLY think about them or maybe they do and they get a little kick out of it. I don't know but I know how it was when I was in high school with all of my so called guy friends. They were all secretly waiting for the moment to "jump on this ride" LOL

Sure! But that doesn't mean that having sex doesn't cross minds of both. Here's how I would frame it: Can men and women have sex and be platonic friends? I mean do we have to cut out sexuality to maintain friendship? How about - Can bi-sexual woman and a homosexual woman still be platonic friends?
Lots of variants to that question.

Hello,
Not unless one of them is gay.
Men and women are not programed that way. I think there is more of a chance a women would befriend a guy, If a gal can keep up with the guys, which makes guys intimidated and rarely will they ask a gal like this out. However a guy is always after one thing, sex.

If the girl is really ugly then yes, it is possible. But if the girl has any kind of nice features, legs or butt or chest then this is impossilbe. It is only possible if the guy is totally 100% gay.
Any girl that thinks a guy can hang out and "be friends" is insane. And any guy that thinks he can do so with a good looking girl without thinking..."hmmm, maybe this is the night this turns out to be more than friends" is totally totally totally a homo!

It can happen but it's hard. I think that somebody usually ends up developing feelings. Some people say you can be friends if you aren't attracted to each other. To be honest with you, I have developed feelings for people I wasn't initially attracted to. In fact, I've developed feelings for people I didn't really even like when I initially met them. For example, I remember this guy from school. When I met him, he seemed aloof & unfriendly. I didn't like him. I was in two classes with him and worked on two group projects with him. In the first class, I hardly spoke to him and he didn't seem to like me. In the second class, we got to know each other. And guess what? I started to develop feelings for him. Personally, I think that when you get to know someone, it will almost always happen. You start to see something in them that you didn't see before. You will think that they are nice and then that becomes more.

I would say yes, but I personally don't think men and women who are married (to others) should hang out with other men and women alone.

Not really - When Harry Met Sally - "men and women can't be friends...sex always get's in the way".
Girls think they can, guys will tell them they can (that's just to get closer to them) but guys will always be thinking about sleeping with you...it's biological

A more interesting question is why have nearly all the women said yes and the few guys who responded usually said no?
