Can guys and girls be friends?

[hyebruin]

Where did you get this definition? I find for example that the more successful marriages often involve couples that in addition to being lovers are best of friends. By the way, I hope you realize that you are basically saying only ugly girls can have friends of the opposite sex Now that's just plain silly ...

when did i say the ugly thing???


hey, when a guy says he's your friend and has the hotts for ya to want to do you in an elevator...that is no 'friend'!


nope! i stand by what i say damn it!!
"if there is lust, there can be no true frienship"--'bruin

this changes sort of with married folks..they can be friendly i guess..cuz they have to worry about household chores and expenses and everyday stuff and not just hot nites and weekends

1) Maybe one or both of them is married already?
2) Maybe their future goals are not compatible?
3) Maybe there are cultural, religious, and racial factors making it hard for them in society to be "together"?
4) Maybe they live geographically far apart?
5) Maybe one or both of them have significant commitments (like taking care of an elderly/sick parent/sibling) that makes it hard to be with someone else?
6) ...

1. Obviously I'm talking about people that are not married.
2. Can you give me an example of future goals not being compatible? It would have to be something drastic to make them not be together.
3. Who cares what society thinks, if you love someone and are attracted to them, you're telling me you won't take it further because of what others might think?
4. I already said friends that enjoy eachothers company. I wasn't clear enough. I meant they see eachother often.
5. If you really love someone then that is an awful reason to not be with them.

friendship involves no sexual attraction

the question is can men and women be friends, NOT act like friends!! big difference!!!

no matter how tightly the cork fits on the bottle, with enuff pressure it WILL pop!!!

I beleive unfortunately, that any man/women under enough pressure at the right time will crack.. so thes are more unique cases.. and we are trying to be more general

If the guy and the girl are that close and obviously love eachothers company because they are the best of friends and love doing things together and hanging out then why the hell shouldn't you just be together if you find the other attractive. You can't get a better girl or guy than that.

I hate it when a guy and a girl are extremely good friends and find eachother very attractive but they just remain friends. Why? For what stupid reason would you want it to be like this.

Just for your information I'm too sexy for my shirt, so sexy it hurts

I'm sure you are.

On a side-note-I sometimes enjoy sparking arguments, or getting people a bit agitated, so don't take it to offense.

(as you initially may have )

Hey old guy, how come you go on the forum instead of playing catch with your two boys? Or taking them to the beach? Or fishing? Camping?

Don't worry - we do plenty of all those things...right now I am sitting here paying some bills and checking various sites...kids are playing some games and are about to go to bed...We went camping last weekend BTW...and well Friday we'll be taking them to Europe for the better part of a month...and we are packing as well...so why aren't you out on a date or something?
