So, I see that this seems to be a very polarizing topic here on the boards. I thought it would be interesting to poll everybody's opinions and start a discussion. I always found this to be an interesting topic, maybe partially because I'm not like most guys. I actually am capable of being friends with women, even if I do think they are attractive. (Important note: By saying they are attractive, I don't mean that I want to go out with them, I simply mean I can acknowledge that they are a physically attractive person.) And NO, I am not one of those guys who just hangs around unavailable women hoping they become available and we can get together. If I am just friends with a gal, I am JUST FRIENDS with her. Furthermore, if I like a girl and want to be more then friends,I either try to ask her out or I move on. But, again, I'm not exactly like your typical guy, so I am never sure if I am just weird, or if it is perfectly normal. My personal opinion has always been that it is perfectly fine for men and women to be friends as long as it isn't a situation where one of them really just wants to be more than friends and the other doesn't. As long as both of them understand and are happy with their status, I don't see why it is a problem. Of course, if one or both of them are in a relationship, there are important boundaries that need to be respected, but I still don't see it being an issue. So, what are your thoughts? |

I can be friends with ladies. No big deal. I'm a very friendly guy. But once I want more than friendship from a chic and she refuses ah, bye bye to friendship. I won't deceive myself cos it won't work. I have a number of friends who are ladies. No strings attached. |

It doesn't really seem most ladies have any qualms with having guys as friends. The problem is mostly with guys. rozzay: Nofin wrong most f my friends r guys even my closest friend whom I gossip wit is a guy, he just wedded nd I travelled all the way to support him. So deres nofin wrong cos I am only comfy around guys Lol.

Its no biggie but most of my frnds for now are females though  One thing i notice about d few guys dat re my frnds is dat dey keep in touch no matter what unlike girls who wnt call/txt if u dnt and girls can beeef/gossip......so its better to be frnds with guys than girls |
| Re: Your Thoughts On Being Friends With The Opposite Sex. by Nobody: 1:52pm On Sep 06, 2014 |
Medunah: Its no biggie but most of my frnds for now are females thoughTrue, what you've written. @the Bolded, guys lead the most carefree lives. It's a pity I can't say the same for MOST of the female folk. Girls will beef themselves for no reason. Until they turn green in the face when they are together. |
