If you can be friends with your mother, sister, aunty, daughter etc, then surely you can be friends with a lady with no strings attached. It is part of the quality of a matured man. Its only boys that jump at anything under skirt.
Of course you can be just friends with your Mother, Sister or Aunty because you aren't sexually attracted to them. It is common sense, Please released that poor guy you friendzone calling him a friend cheesy.

Yes they can be. If they keep a distance. If not, sex happens, then it gets complicated.
Do you keep a distance from your friends? The Op's assertion is still valid.

Yes, only if both are in different relationships.

If I am married/dating and she's also married/dating then , theoretically, our emotional and sexual needs are being satisfied by our partners which are essentially the reasons why people date.

It's quasi-impossible to be just friends with a woman if she and/or you are not already dating others.
Your point is Very valid say.cus i find it very hard to keep just female friends.but i'm really working on it.
oga where have you been?

Re: Can A Guy and a lady be "Just Friends"? by WisdomTank: 11:13am On Dec 25, 2015
Op, a resounding yes is my answer to your question. As a matter of fact, I personally I have numerous female friends whom I don't have any strange feelings for. They are free with me and I am equally feel free with them. I know their guys and they know my lady.

The truth is that this article is spot on. What sort of play do you think occurs between a dog and a tiger, anyway? The word 'platonic' is just bandied about by the naive to deny what is stirring them in the face. Mature men and women can't be friends. Simple.

Keeping a physical distance and setting boundaries.

I agree with the Op totally.

There ain't no way I can be friends with a girl purely because of that. Most of the girls that are just my friends now we didn't just start like that. There was an attraction either from my side or hers but circumstances didn't let things happen.

And yes if given the chance i'll still have sex with like 97% of my female friends. It's only girls that will not agree with this because they don't understand.

Any girl who thinks every guy that is her friend has not nursed the intention of having sex with her before is just deceiving herself plainly.

Re: Can A Guy and a lady be "Just Friends"? by lightdotcom: 11:18am On Dec 25, 2015
U said she is your best friend and that you both have been friends before she started dating... Sounds like you were locked in the 'friend zone' otherwise I think it was better you marry your best friend.
Rapaltar:
I strongly disagree....my Best friend is a lady...

she's d last person I did ever think of bedding....

and its nt lyk im in a relationship tho she is, we'v been frnds bfr she started dating .....

That's exactly the Ops point. If someone is truly your friend, then you shouldn't keep physical distance for the fear of something happening.

Op , u really need to develop your mind in a way that you could see a lady the same way you see a guy. it is only myopic minds that will support the above assertion. i personally have female friends whom i hang out on several occasions without thinking your direction. if you are underdeveloped internally, u can view the ladies as object of self satisfaction. get a life Op

I don't understand you. You mean because you and your friends can't keep such relationship with a lady, everyone can't. Don't generalize too hastily!

I have about four female friends I keep such platonic relationship with. So?

thumbs up for this comment.

Its obvious that op and his likes are ho'rny guys.

Why not

My closest female friend is a fellow Arsenal fan. We're quite close, platonically........








Her brother is a soldier tho......

He he he!

Why not. if you cant sleep with your sister because of the blood relationship then you can take the sexuality from a relationship and just be friends. But mind you there has to be a separate relationship with another girl or else the platonic one might end up in bed!

Having trust is someone doesn't mean they're trustworthy. I don't know why you're getting agitated. Have a great day too. Merry Xmas.

Well you obviously don't know what trust means. If you trust someone, it's because they're trustworthy. If you're in doubt of their trustworthiness, then there's no point in friendship. Who's to say a female friend is more trustworthy than a male one?

The kind of physical distance am talking about is almost the same you have with a same gender friend.

Eg- any physical contact that could put you two in a compromising situation.
Body no be wood.

Its not about fear, its about been reasonable and realistic.

Same way a lady should not blab to her female friend about her relationship(s) - its all setting boundaries - the type of boundaries may defer, but its all boundaries.

You are friends with someone cos you share similar interests, goals, you gain something from them, they bring out the best in you etc.
