Yes ofcourse they can

This is one widely accepted stereotype.
I am of the opinion that a girl and a guy can maintain platonic friendship without having thoughts of some erotic shii. Well, maybe how the two became friends have a role to play but hey! A guy can be friends with a girl without wanting the icing on the cake. At least, experience have proven so.

Sometimes...

osazeeblue01:
No. Any girl that told u she keep male friends than female just know that she is a prostitute. If u think am lying go for research yourself.

Swissheart:

you where have you been ? am angry at you but I still miss you sha. Why did you forget about me like dat?

I have some friends who are ladies. I have never asked them out before and I don't intend to. They are just friends. This is different from friendzone cos there is nothing romantic about our friendship. There is mutual respect.

Op, it's possible. It depends on the initial stages of the friendship and what triggered it coupled with maturity
For example, prettythicksme is my friend

you are very correct,I fuckkked one recently with ease and I just reach a conclusion that she is a hoe cos I'm really sure that those so called male friends are fuccccking her too,so I dumped her Asap.

Frndships dnt last forever

Wrong! The highest realm of love is friendship.
All this dating and marriage stuff will soon be expired, but friendship will forever reign in paradise.

THERE IS A FRIEND THAT STICKETH CLOSER THAN A BROTHER.

Yes!!tell dem

I have 7 female in my church (Winner's chaple), and we love each other with the real love of christ.
Are you telling me that we have a strange feelings for each other?


Come to our bible school, we will teach you how to control the seats of emotions.


True love is not centered on marriage and sex, but a friendship relationship worthy of emulation.

That is platonic friendship..

Apparently some of you are misconstruing my point..a man can be just friends with a lady under the conditions i liisted at the start of the write up but when it goes beyond that then its most likely no longr just friend...

Durentt:
we have not met but i have seen many of ur gay post on nairaland. Deny and i'll post the links here for everyone to see

sis, ur siggy says u're bak for vengeance on far.ano, i neva c ur wrath o, abi ur vengeance still dey do rehearsal ni ?

Its possible because i have a few of them. I like some because we share same goal, i like some because i am helping them(i like helping and i help people alot, i derive a kind of joy from it), some is because we have no choice than be friends.
It doesn't change the fact that you will fall for a few, but its abnormal to always fall for all. You only have to Change your mindset why you want to meet people.

no and yes it depends

Toks2008:
A MAN OR WOMAN CAN NOT BE JUST FRIENDS WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX

It’s no secret: guys and girls being friend is a concept held by only the dreamers. Any lady who believes that she can be a friend with a guy other than co-worker, co-student, or just on a platonic hi-hi level is infact the most myopic lady to walk on this planet

A guy’s friends consist of, well, only guys. The only reason a guy would be friends with a girl would be to bed her. No guy is going to waste their time just being friends with a girl because it’s not like she is a sports freak or a transgendered.

Guys have enough guy friends and won’t waste their time listening to ladies talk from a girl just to be their friend. Plain and simple he wants to bed you except of course you don't mind or he has not made it obvious yet.

Guys being friends with girls is a farce: either he wants to sleep with her, or she still believes in unicorns, because a guy cannot genuinely be friends with a girl and its either the lady secretly desires him or vis avis even while one of the two are ignorant of this.

Infact i always tell a guy or lady to be more at alert when your bae says this about another opposite sex.."we are just friends,we enjoy each other's company,we are just fond of each other" because once you start hearing this from your bae,you should run because fondness is stronger than the feeling of love and what your bae will not dicsuss with you will be discussed freely with that person so of what use is the affair you are having?

I know some people will say not in all cases and i quite agree but there is a simple test to know if there is no hidden notion or surpressed desire so please as a lady just prove me wrong? give that just friend of yours a kiss and watch him stop you. After-all you guys ought to be just friends.

And for the maried man, snap out of your delusion and tell yourself hard fact...YOU ARE OLOJU KOKORO...Let your wife be your only friend,best friend and close friend and same for the lady.

Keeping "friends" of the opposite sex while married or committed to someone is an emotional affar and its even worse than actual physical affair.

Just trying to make common sense.

yes...with benefits
