Can you be friends with the opposite sex?

This is something some of my close male friend have a problem with but we always have this conversation on whether you can be friends with the opposite sex. For example one of my closet friends is a female and not once has the thought of getting in a relationship or sex crossed my mind however some people find this bizarre which to me it isn't? Happy weekend

I have friends of all sexes.

Yes but a genuine friendship is quite rare I think.

Heard many guys talk honestly and admit that despite forming a friendship with a woman there's always a wee part of them waiting for the day when an opportunity arises for something more.

Yes, I have loads of female friends whom I respect and spend time with without trying or wanting to have sex with them. Some are very attractive as are some of my male friends.

I'm not ruled by my sexual urges.

"Yes but a genuine friendship is quite rare I think.

So my male friend was saying pretty much the same thing he can't do it personally cause there's always that urge to do more. Where as for me I have more female friends and it never crossed my mind of doing anything of the sort

My personal experience has been that straight men cannot be friends with a woman without making a move on her.

I'm certainly not any kind of irresistible femme fatale.

I have men with whom I am "friendly" but would always be conscious of keeping a distance to avoid these situations again.

Just throw a cat amongst the pigeons, as the bi-sexual aspect has been covered. Being demi-sexual means you can often develop friendships without knowing if sexual attraction will occur later or not.

Happened to me twice with a female friends where we loved each other so much we were both like, why don't we just fuck each other? Once it was amazing and we carried on the other time it ended in hysterics as it was so awkward.

Of course you can. In the same way as gay people can be friends with people of the same sex as them, and bisexual people can be friends with people of both sexes (etc).

I've always felt that "men and women can't be friends without sex getting in the way" is a very narrow minded view to hold.

Oh how things have changed.

For the better!

The last time the exact same question was asked some of the responses said men can't be friends with women they find attractive because it would be unfair on the guy and the woman would use knowledge of that attraction to abuse the friendship. Along with remarks of not allowing women they were in a relationship with to have purely platonic male friends.

I've just read the whole thread and there's not one display of such attitudes and so far at least, nobody going down that avenue.

Maybe things aren't as bad as they seemed last time after all......

Hubby and I were ‘just friends’ for a year before my uni relationship came to an end x we were engaged within 12 weeks and are very happy together 23 years on x I think friendship is an excellent base to a relationship x whether you achieve a completely platonic or not relationship you’re letting someone in and that provides the opportunity for a deep connection

It depends on the person. Some people simply can't be friends with the opposite sex because they only see them in sexual terms, they don't want to be friends with them if they can't or don't want to have sex with them.

Then that's honest enough for me to proceed. If it gets to a point where it's more about wanting sex than friendship from me, I hope you'd either admit that so we can talk about it properly or withdraw.

I suspect it will vary massively from person to person and situation to situation.

Some people will always have an ulterior motive, others neverand most of us will fit somewhere in between.

There will be those that like and respect their friend enough to never make a move but who secretly wish they could, there will be those who have never considered the relationship anything more than just friendship but on a certain day, in certain circumstances that suddenly changed.

"Yes absolutely and I do have female friends. I've had some turn into 'more' and some that never have or will.

Just throw a cat amongst the pigeons, as the bi-sexual aspect has been covered. Being demi-sexual means you can often develop friendships without knowing if sexual attraction will occur later or not.

Happened to me twice with a female friends where we loved each other so much we were both like, why don't we just fuck each other? Once it was amazing and we carried on the other time it ended in hysterics as it was so awkward."

This! I'm certainly somewhere on the demisexual end of things...

My boyfriend was once of my closet friends for 20+ years before we got together, apparently he'd always thought I was attractive but never even thought of anything more.

We got closer and closer over COVID and on a d*unken night out it ended up being sexual. For us it was a natural evolution of the feelings we already had for each other.

But yeah, being pan throws that 'cant have make friends' out of the window (and that's before I bring up the fact I'm non binary)

Absolutely. One of my closet friends is a woman. And not once have I thought of her as anything other than a mate and riding buddy. And I've known her 11 years.

Yes, absolutely. One of my closest friend ends is female and considerably younger than me. When we works together though most people thought there must have been more to it. How wrong they were.

If you both make your intentions clear at the start of the friendship then yes I can be friends with the opposite sex. Problems arise when you’re in the “friend zone”

Wow some of the replies to this thread that can't be friends with the opposite sex, what a shame you feel that way

Of course you can.

I can't see why youd want to limit friendship on the basis of sex.
