Very thoughtful answers.....
What other do you want?

The answer is YES.

What they make out of their friendship now depends on their own individual personalities and characteristics.

So,, I cannot generalize anything here.

I remember my neighbour then in lagos and single lady we were very good friends, she can enter my house go inside my kitchen, open my pot and dish food for herself thats how close we are, she tells me everything, she can be in my room till 12 midnight watching dstv and charging her phone and nothing dey happen between us, it was that way for a year plus! THEN ONE DAY I CAME BACK FROM FELA SHIRINE AND I DON SMOKE WEED AND I WAS SO HIGH AS Bleep AND I HEARD A KNOCK ON MY DOOR, AND IT WAS TIEING JUST WRAPPER ON HER CHEST, I HUGGED HER TIGHT AND I WHISPER TO HER EARS AND TOLD HER THAT SHE'S SO BEAUTIFUL, BEFORE I KNEW IT SHE STARTED KISSING ME AND WE HAD MIND BLOWING SEX. and that was the only time we had sex untill i parked and left the compound. I BELIEVED I'VE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION

With due respect she is not acting right and you are not acting properly. Think to yourself, would you like your wife running to a man with all your marital problems, would you not feel disrespected? So why do that to another man?

The only male a wife should take her marital problems to (if she must her problems outside) are a male relative or her husband’s closest friend. Note I use singular. A good wife has one, no more than 2 male relatives or her husbands’ confidants that she can trust with her marital problems, if they are such that need external intervention. Her marital problems are not your business and again I repeat you are disrespecting her husband. What goes around comes around.

If she had any sense as a woman she wouldn’t bring her marital problems to you, if you had any wisdom as a man, and we’re truly her friend, you would tell her she is disrespecting her marriage and her husband by bringing her marital affairs to you. That is the acid test of your so called friendship. The minute you do she will stop calling you, but it is the right thing to tell her. So you see now that you really are not friends. Because you should be able to tell the truth to a friend without the relationship ending.

As a man you have no business in another woman’s marital affairs, the only women that should ever come to you are the wives of your best friend/brother/s or your sister/relative.
They're friends and he's a man who she thinks would probably understand the mind of another man and she trusts him not to mislead her. Must she take advice from her family members even when she feels that she doesn't want family members involved?

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.

Re: Can A Man And A Woman Be Friends by Jazzman01: 7:58am On Dec 31, 2023
Very possible. As a man it is not every shape and size of women we are sexually attracted to same thing applies to women. So you can be friends with the opposite sex without any sexual affair.

Yes.There's nothing bad about it. Only in Nigeria are we seeing it as a big deal. I had 2 female friends with whom there are no strings attached. I met the first one on a journey. We travelled on same bus from Abuja to lagos. On the way, bus had an issue which took hours to fix. We had to stop in Ibadan around mid night.

I told the driver who insisted he must proceed to lagos that I'd not risk it and that instant, the lady too alighted. We picked the only available bike which took us to a nearby hotel. The lady wanted paying for the room but I insisted on paying so we checked in. We passed the night in same room, nothing happend. Till today, she holds me in high esteem. She's married with a daughter already.

I invited the other lady for a medical outreach. We agreed to share same hotel room and we were there for 4 days after which she left for her location. All it requires is discipline. We're best frienqds today

Accolades!!!

If she can't see a single man from husband family and no single man from her own family to be discussing her marital issueS with but unrelated male friend, such woman is nothing but rag. She is olosho in making who wouldn't think twice to bed her so called bestie.


Ask urself honest question, if ur wife is fun of discussing ur marital issueS with her male friend, how would you feel?

Have had so many female friends, not even a single thought of sex crosses my minds.
Some I even unconsciously see them as fellow men.

You call ur girlfriend by 9pm ,she says she is with her male friend , gisting inside room!

Your wife is taking food out, you ask her,she says ,she is taking it to Mr David her male friend,a single father that leaves in Estate which is about a mile from ur place.

I guess the two scenarios above, your mind would still be pure as snow.

You guys should endeavour to think like rational human beings for once, endeavour to check ur comments before you post them to public platform pls.

I have two male friends and I can't have sex with them. They more beneficial to me as friends.

Sometimes, I have the thoughts like if I sleep with so and so, how do we continue being friends?

Nah!!!

I reject am!



Una don see why girls like male friendship ba? If you like be foolish as a man and remain friends with a girl. Las las na you useless yourself
Re: Can A Man And A Woman Be Friends by McLizbae: 8:40am On Dec 31, 2023
This strongly depends on how you define friendship. If friendship is simply about who's got your back in times of needs (materials, finance, occupational coverage, and trust), then a man and a woman will get along fine.
Re: Can A Man And A Woman Be Friends by LUCASC(m): 8:44am On Dec 31, 2023
I have read most of the comments here, people who try to defend man and woman friendship end up shooting themselves in the leg😁. Contradicting themselves.
There's no way a man and a woman will be casual friends.
As for me I don't have any casual female friend, many have tried to get me to that zone, I quickly reject that.
It's either we are intimate, or a workplace friendship or neighbours. I don't do casual female friends.
Re: Can A Man And A Woman Be Friends by baajetu(m): 8:46am On Dec 31, 2023
If the person is from childhood, yes it’s easy but anything outside that, you are both deceiving yourselves

U see many of proponents of female besties don't know the different between CLOSE FRIEND AND (NEIGHBOURS, CO-WORKERS, SAME-CHURCH, SCH-MATES even ACQUITTANCE.)
