Malformed question. Old folks are friends all the time without sex. So are gays and opposite sex. So are asexuals, low libido, nuns and priests, etc. I have guy friends, no thought of sex. So you have to give the conditions of the question

Mass Poverty makes friendship between man and woman impossible in Nigeria, especially among university graduates.

Sorry, but that's the hard truth. In Nigeria everyone is a tiger looking for whom they will devour. Everyone knows this. Poverty has destroyed EVERYTHING in the country.

Good Luck to Nigerians.

Yes. My childhood friend was a girl. We were so close to the extent that people thought we were dating. We both lived in face me I slap u building back in the day in Mushin. We were so fond of each other to the extent that I thought I would fall in love with her. But that wasn't the case. Alas, she got pregnant and people thought I was the one responsible and I knew I my mind that i had never seen her pant before. So i wasn't bothered at all then. till now we are still very best friends.

Many years ago, after introducing. After introducing a female friend as my best friend, an older man man said to me; a man and a woman can never be friends, talk more of best of friends.


Those words ringed in my ears for a very long time, even till date.

A man and a woman relationship includes

Business Partnership
F*ck Buddies
Dating relationship
Neighbours - Just neighbors (not friends)

Once friendship don dey involve without dating/Kpenshing.

Most likely - One person will be using the other psychological, physically, mentally, without one knowing whats up until things becomes clear

Other Possible scenarios
šŸ‘‰ One person keeps the other by d side incase their plans fail. They have a fall back plan
šŸ‘‰ One person or both will develop feelings (which wont look like friends anymore)
šŸ‘‰ If that feeling develops and they r both friendzoned. One or both partners becomes jealous of the person's real mate.

Other people shud come with points sha o.

As a rule for me. As a man to woman strollzz.
Its either we are doing business or we r f*cking.

So if your wife of 36 tells you she has a a very good male friend, you'll assume she is matured? And at 36, as a guy, you start practicing celibacy because you are matured?

Most of you just open your mouth waaaaa, and spew rubbish. I wonder the mumus that liked your post sad

Yes full time. Not all men want sex from women , not all women want money from men ..If you ever find a genuine friendship of the opposite sex .you will know life is not all about sex. The main thing they should all draw their boundaries when necessary.

Obviously,you are suffering from severe malaria.

A normal healthy man will want sex from a woman he is friendly with...
They always do.
Esp Nigerian men...
It's a way of humiliating the woman

What is bad in it. Sex is mutually agreed but everything is not sex. There are women that you can use to your advantage to grow your business to the benefit of both of you. Take my case, I have female friend that I have not seen since year 2020 but we chat regularly. She is happily married. She brings business from her and we share profit. We are not dating no assistance sex no sext chats, no nude pictures nothing romantic. But we chat nearly everyday. Even if it is to drop a sticker. When my wife is nagging and moody, what I do is I just book a call to her and we discuss other issues to allow my woman to cool off. We don't discuss family issues. I don't discuss my wife. She does not discuss her husband. It was her status that revealed she was the second wife of her husband and I never asked her but I know. But if there is money to be made, I am.her first contact.

Itā€™s possible if you treat all women with purity

Treat older women as you would your mother, and treat younger women with all purity as you would your own sisters.

In my opinion, yes a man and a woman can be friends only if itā€™s tagged- business partners, colleagues, neighbors. And they should not have constant communication. Once there is constant communication and interaction believe me feelings must creep in.
Just say hi to me once in a blue moon and Iā€™ll ask you howā€™s life . Thatā€™s all. Donā€™t call me in the night asking how my day was or chatting me up constantly. I donā€™t want to know how your day went either , your man should ask you that .

In some cases, friendships with Nigerian girls is always parasitic, if theyā€™re not having anything sexual with you but still keep you as a close friend, this means they are benefiting from you heavily in form of Favours or monetary gifts. They can freely request stuffs they canā€™t request from their female friends from you .

Have actually been with women!

I am glad you said ā€œhadā€ because all friendships with women end. That is ultimately why you cannot invest in a friendship with a womanā€¦it ends the minute she marries. If it doesnā€™t then she is not a good woman and you are not a good man. It is disrespectful of you as a man to carry on a friendship with another manā€™s wife, so the minute she marries your friendship ends. This is assuming you actually had a real friendship in the beginning because she was most likely using you and you most likely were harbouring plans to get between her legs. Ask yourself, how many of your so called female friends were unattractive?

Women have men ā€œfriendsā€ for different reasons, the one who helps her with her car problems, the one who takes her to club, the one who helps her with this the one who helps her with that. When a good woman marries, all her male related problems become her husbands responsibility and if she is well brought up and has any respect for herself and her husband, you will find out she stops calling you.

The only female friends a man can ever have are his female relatives. Otherwise you donā€™t know the meaning of friendship.
