| I'd like to believe it was possible, but I'm not 100% sure it is. EDIT: There are exceptions too the rule, such as if 2 people grow up together, think they can be friends because often you find that you don't really have any sexual feelings for people you've known since childhood. |

Sorry, my feminist side has taken over, yet again.Key to what, sorry? Because sexual attraction is some how a male gender trait? lol? Let's be real NO ONE is going to have sex with someone they think are unattractive unless they have a few drinks and even then..... no. yea this ain't gonna happen. Even though she isn't that attractive. I think you get my point |
Sophilia said: You obviously misinterpreted everything said above in the quote tower and beyond. What did i misinterpret. Please enlighten me. if you aren't attracted to a female then you can be "just friends" was the assertion. Then you went on to say men are disgusting because, tell me if i'm wrong, they are shallow for feeling this way. Then I went on to say not only men feel this way many women do as well. |
Sophilia said: But she is a sexually attractive person. Our relationship just developed in such a way (~magic~) that I am no longer sexually attracted to her, if I ever was. I can say that she is sexual attractive without wanting to her sex with her, in the same way you might say so about a sibling.

| Well, one of my bestfriends is a guy, and we have treated each other as just friends for 3 years with no problems. I can easily say that i just think of him as a friend, not because he's ugly or nothing like that, but because that's the way our relationship is. I think it's too cliche to say a guy and a girl will, for sure, develop feelings or desires for each other, that's just the way conservative people think. |

The friendzone is when you get rejected and the person who rejected you wants to be your friend instead. Other than that, the friendzone is a myth created by shy-yet-sexually-frustrated-teenagers who don't have the guts to ask out the person they like. |

| I think it's possible. There is one male friend I could never, ever be sexually attracted to. We didn't grow up together or anything, I met him when I was in junior high, and our relationship just developped into some sort of brother-sister type of relationship. Everyone thinks we'd make a great couple, but we both just kinda find it gross and somewhat funny. I am absolutely certain that we could never have any other kind of relationship, but the fact that there is only one man I feel this way about (and I don't think there will be anyone else in the future) makes me wonder if this isn't something really unusual. I am also somewhat attracted to women, but unlike with guys, there are many women in my life I could never look at as anything but friends. |

| The topic title made me think: What we can say about this for friends of opposite sex that has sexual activity between each other, and not really lovers? Just for the sake of pleasure? Just a random thought. |

| If the guy friend is gay, yes they can be friends. If the guy is married and has a girl that is a friend; they better damn stay as friends. If they are single they can stay as friends, heck I've been friend-zoned every time I befriended a person; so it is possible. |
“Girls can wear jeans and cut their hair short and wear shirts and boots because it’s okay to be a boy; for girls it’s like promotion. But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading, according to you, because secretly you believe that being a girl is degrading.”—Ian McEwan, The Cement Garden (1978) |

Vinter said: This is getting a bit too technical, but the distinction I am trying to make is something like "she is sexually attractive" as opposed to "I find her sexually attractive." The best way I can describe it is that if I didn't know her, I would find her sexually attractive, but because of the way our friendship developed, I don't. Her appearance is unchanged and so there is no reason for me to suddenly pretend that she isn't an attractive person, even if I no longer find her attractive.

azzuRe said: What do you mean by sex friend? Friend with benefits (you're primarily friends, but you also have sex) or "fuck buddy" (you just have sex)? I wouldn't really count the second one, which is sounds like you might be referring to, a type of friendship. Maybe acquaintanceship or something like that, lol. 012yArthur0 said: Sex friend or one night stand?The topic title made me think: What we can say about this for friends of opposite sex that has sexual activity between each other, and not really lovers?

| Well, the GF of one of my friends for example, is pretty hot, so I totally wouldn't mind banging her. But of course I won't, and neither me nor my young Thomas agonize over it so yea, I guess we can be friends then. |

Well, i was not generalizing, i was telling my point of view. I just can't understand how in the XXI century can people still think that a men and a women can't just be friends. For me, it's just that simple, sorry. |
| LOL. I ended up thinking about this earlier today. I remembered a saying something along the lines of that kindness is so rare in today's society that we mistake it for flirtation. ^ Then that reminded me of a time when my lab partner was one of the most popular boys in the school. (story time) I originally thought he'd be a d-bag, but he turned out to be nice guy and we got along well. Pretty soon we were talking in the halls and joking around with each other. Then some other idiot walked up to me during lab and told me, "What would you do if (name) came to your house naked?" This kid was smiling and giggling. It pissed me off but I just brushed it off and said, "Wouldn't that make you jealous?" And that's the end of it. Me and that other kid are now in college and we see each other around campus and still chat. I'm even good friends with some of his other friends and I get along with his girlfriend. A friend is a friend, regardless of gender. If you think that guys and girls can't just be friends, then your mind is at the level of development as a middle school boy. |
"Cheer up, you’re never alone! There is probably at least 1 bug in your room." |
| Well I guess I'm friends with a girl, but i'm not super close to them |
 |
| Of course they can. I've had plenty of guy friends in which neither side has fallen for the other. |
| Yes. To a certain degree.. |
Propater said: Yes. To a certain degree.. whats a certain degree? |
| duh. Of course! |
 |
| That awkward moment.. when I realize most of my friends are girls... For some reason it's easier for me to be friends with girls than guys... Idk, I think it's because I don't have interest in math, sports, fps games, the specs of hardware, or the statistics of anything |
| sexual incest in nisomonogatari - no one bats an eye romance incest in SAO - everyone loses their minds |
| I think most of the time it's just easier to talk to someone of the same gender but ultimately all that should matter is if your have similar interests one and two if you can stand being around the other person without going completely insane |

     |
| Yea. It's called the friend zone. |
  |
| Yes, but more than likely, one person will end up falling for the other person. Not saying that it always happens, but I've seen it happen so many times. |
 |
PervMASTER said: What a stupid question, --obviously yes. Its not like all men and women have to fuck every opposite sex they see. In the No side's defense, they're referring (I assume) to men and women who are reasonably familiar with each other. |

| Yes, I have several male friends that has no love feelings (well, we became friends just when I still didn't think the world is such a s**t). |

| I've been friends with a lot of women, doesn't negate the fact I'd probably sleep with them, but be more than friends? nty, because I'm their friend I know what they are really like, definitely not gf material. |
 |
| Girls: Yes Boys: No case closed |
| Yes. I can care about others without having romantic feelings for them. |
| I have a female friend...and she's kinda ugly...but I don't think that has nothing to do. |
