I believe its totally possible if there's self discipline & mutual respect. However the two 'friends' should really clean their hearts of any hidden agenda. Afterall,we all have friends that involve themselves in some Social/personal vices without falling headlong with their practices. Asides,sex is a very tricky thing;its cabable of spoiling the most beautiful relationship. One sometimes goes into it with high expectations only to come out with disappointment,bitterness & regrets. Keeping a friend of the opposite gender for the potential of a 'Future friendly Shag' can only be generated by a crass,unrefined,Juvenile& therefore immature mind;Friendship is good if its true any taint in it is pure 'Scheme' .

what kind of dumb question is this?? smh
Op just cos you're a perv doesnt make everyone else one.
I have male friends, been friends with them for years and years. very close to them.
i don't understand wtf is wrong with it. you now want me to believe that all they want is a relationship?
you're SICK!

See this one o . Sitdown there dey speak grammar by the time e happen the guy go say an devil handwork
Konji na bastard madam. Even for bible Konji don do many things. How much more when u and your sex starved male "best friend" sit down with you alone for room dey watch Spartacus with you? If it happens, the guy go shed one tear drop and blame the devil. The O.P is right. You don't tempt temptations. Have you heard this saying? What kind of play is the dog having with a lion?


Pls don't quote me wrong. Not all men will fall for it but majority would . It is always just safe to play safe and not tempt temptation. U understand wara am sayin?

you have a stone age mentality. you're the reason why Lucifer rebelled against God.

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.

From the posts I see here, men who can't have platonic friendships with the opposite sex are sexists.

They see women as tools and sex objects.
They see women as people who have nothing to offer in a friendship.

So many people with fvcked up minds.

This one definite lacks good upbringing but must you let the world know?

You need serious spanking.

MissGdope:

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?

How you you measure trustworthiness. Tell me how brothers who have been killed by brothers ended up dead if not for the trust they have for their brother. Father's kill son, so s kill father et AL. So, the fact that you trust someone doesn't mean they're trustworthy. It may mean that you're yet to see the real them. That's not to say that there are no trustworthy people. But it's not necessarily in your place to determine that.

This is complete bullshit. Do not use yourself as a yardstick for everyone. I have many female frnds and I have never ever for once thought of sleeping with them. Honestly, I'm often shocked when trashy stuff like this makes front page on NL. Mtcheeeewwww

I thought When Harry Met Sally answered this question many years ago...

“ A guy and a girl can be just friends, but
at one point or another, they will fall for each other ....Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late or maybe forever " - Dave Mathew Bands.

Being created a woman makes you different from a man in terms of sexual makeup and you shouldn't blame men. There are men that can have platonic relationships with women by setting boundaries but it can never be like a man to man friendship that's usually no holds barred.

It's possible thou it always end in praise

TheSonOfMark:

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.

Right on point!

You cannot be platonic with the opposite sex, when you are not married or dating someone.It is not possible,any contrary posture, is absolute pretext.

Before Nko? What do women have to offer in a friendship apart from Sex. I can always rely on my male friends for everything else. You watched too much American movies.

hmm

Let me explain this ...in most cases,the heart of ladies are pure...thats your make up but i call it a dumb mindset cos often times ladies will always reiterate that they are just friends with a guy until this guy now makes a move on them and you will hear stuffs like..oh i dont expect this from you...

Read that write up more carefully and you will understand that sometimes one party will see it as platonic while the other wont.

Then i gave a simple text which may seem hard but just try and lead these guys on and u will be amazed that while you were having a neutral mindset,they have been nursing funny feelings.

Thanks. My friendship with the opposite sex can never be like that with my guys. Seriously i don't even like keeping female friends apart from course mate we just see sometimes, exchange a little chat and ideas. The end

am sure ur gf does dat but DNT generalise. how abt the "tom boys". forget abt research and say facts. i keep male frnds nd my fiance knows everyone of them even some of them later turns out to be his pals too but wen he warns abt a particular guy. I step back.
Merry Xmas

(;Its very posible for the opposit sex to just be friends and yet have no sexuall kind of love for each other,I have one that I can support when she needs it and we both have no such feelings cos we advise each other about relationship too,one of my good friend also have so many female friends and they help each other a lot without such feelings,so it does exit..what I also think is that when one is porn addicted,you don't think straight,you feel like banging the opposit sex when such. Relationship exit and the other might not know it..

depends on the mindset of people involved, I've lots of female friends who reciprocate the respect I have for them......

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

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

A guy’s friends consist of, well, only guys. The only reason a guy would go close to a girl would be to date or bed her. No guy is going to waste his time just being a friend with a girl because it’s not like she is a sports freak or a trans-gendered.

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.

In-fact 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 married 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 affair and its even worse than actual physical affair.

Just trying to make common sense.

Wat are u saying ? I gat a female frnd nd we ar cool AF ,,she is d 1 dt even linked me wit my current galfrnd.she slips ova at my place nd we do nuttin buh watch moviez and talk..dnt generalise ur myopic mynd o .

Just how can I make this festive season enjoyable for this my guy?
I keep saying the same thing, but people deliberately choose to daydream and evade reality.
Before long, it will boil down to what I said.
In short, two favorably disposed adults coming together is either for marriage, or for hay play. The friendship thing is just a means to an end.
Somebody will still bash me, but I don talk my own

Op, you and your kind don't have the same way of reasoning like other people, the question for me is stupid to say the least. Must you sleep with every girl you come in contact with? Don't coin someone's life experience and way of life and try to generalize it for everyone.
Yes a girl and a guy can be just friends without sleeping and messing up around all in the name of fun.
I have at least close to 10 female friends, all beautiful, fun to be around with, caring and whom i have access to anyday anytime, yet they are principled and firm when it comes to morals. Yes the thought of having sex with them used to come in the past but I've dealt with it, and that's what maturity demands. Deal with that and grow up.

I have a bestie and he is a male

I am sorry, na una cause am. A man can't sit innocently and a music video starts playing without him seeing some semi clad girls shaking bweast and axsess. What if he decided to take an harmless stroll? He will see mini skirts and tight shorts, jergins , tight short gowns et all. A guy is tempted 1000 times daily .

And you watch too much porn

Am writing based on experience Mr Man.

I have male friends.

I thought u just wanna ask the question so we can debate it on the NL floor but u went ahead to show how perverse, kinky and corrupt ur heart is. Too bad!
The fact that u can't keep such relationship doesn't mean others can't OK. You sound so eloquent in ur speech tho but the ideas are absurd.

As far as toto in involved, e no go work...toto is important to menz.

I just made you aware of that fact. And you turn it around and use as your own?

As for the rest of your post, you're confused - and pls don't ask me how. Read from the very first post you quoted me.

Its possible to be friends......

But thy will always end up banging eachoda. Its very difficult to be friends with a lady without banging.
All my female friends from high skul to university till i got a job. I will always bang them.

If you dont bang her she will always see you as a weak man.

Baging her will even mak her respact you more and always listen to your advise.

This is the true. Take it or leave it.

I love making and meeting new friends most especially the opposite sex.


No hug sef not to talk of Sex...

It depends on your mindset.

To settle this, hypothetically o... let the opposite sex expose her naked body to u and see if ull have a hard on.. If yes, then it's not possible to be "just friends"..
