Toks2008: Guy u are wasting ur energy. Most people here don't understand the kind of friendship(paddy paddy) u meant. that is why the relate it with people the met randomly (through circumstances) at school, church, workplace and neighbourhoods. they mix up acquaintances with paddies. i shouldn't dabble in this but everybody keeps friendship for a reason though many don't know theirs. that is why we friend and unfriend people from time to time. |

@Post I don't agree because not everyone is interested in fvcking especially outside wedlock and especially not in this day and age with all the sexually transmitted diseases out there. I will caution females to be careful with Nigerian bred men. Many are potential rapists. I remember vividly what they did to one Cynthia Osokogu who was drugged, raped and killed by her facebook Nigerian male friends. The average Nigerian bred male does not understand the word "NO" when 'konji' (sexual urge) hooks him. Not only that, the Nigerian-bred male has a weird way of thinking. They usually always think that because a lady is nice to them, she wants to sleep with them at some point. That can't be further from the truth because ladies have types of men they date and the Nigerian bred male may not even be the lady's type. She sincerely may just be looking for friendship. Anyways, for those who have sex on their minds 24/7, I can see why they would think that every lady who chooses to be just friends with a guy will eventually succumb to having sex with him. Nigerian bred males think everyone is interested in catching their sexually transmitted diseases that have not yet begun to show symptoms |

A simple question with a simpler answer Some people just don't understand the question. A woman has no way of knowing the goings-on in a man's mind. He may have thought about it, but buried the thought for whatever reason. She will then come on Nairaland and write that it is possible for guys and girls to be best friends. The reverse scenario is also true. This is particularly true when the emotional 'room-and-parlour' in your heart is vacant All true romance is built on good friendship. Can a man and woman be good friends? Yes! Can a man and woman be good friends without one party 'catching' feelings? No! NB: Just note how many female Nairalanders have claimed to ''besties' who are male. It is almost seven times the male who have female 'besties'. That discussion is a matter for another day 2 Likes |

It is possible but I think such friendship is only profitable for the matured ones.Most young girls will betray any kind of relationship once they meet the guy they love.For that guy,they are ready to deny their own mother let alone a male friend. |

I don't usually comment on public forums except I feel there is a miseducation in majority of the opinions. I am not an authority per say but I believe I have the capacity of being objective. I will say that the diverse views expressed here are all valid based on the experience of the individual sharing it. So can opposite sex be just friends ? Well, not exactly in every case. So where is the confusion coming? Simple, those who can't handle an "expectation" thus pretend that they can. When they fail they say that it not possible while they knew exactly what they wanted and will wait for as long as possible to get it. What happens when you start to 'develop' feelings for your 'friend' #FACT, you can develop feelings for and attachments for your 'friend'. When that happens, someone in it for the sake of being a 'friend' will take measures to stop it...including walking out/away if it becomes necessary. This is usually out of love and sincerity. Someone who doesn't want to "hurt" his/her 'friendship' will do everything to protect it. If he/she fails will usually take the walk..#quote me. Can you really call them your FRIENDS? I think it is safe to say that if both parties are single, the term 'friend' MAY be valid. If one of the individuals involved is married or in a committed relationship, them the term 'friend...or "best friend" ' as commonly used is NO LONGER VALID. This is because I personally think that the person that you are with in a relationship should be your 'best friend'. It amounts to 'emotional infidelity' to be 'best friends' with someone who is not committed to you. It is an 'emotional affair' to actually depend on someone that is not committed ( by marriage and like agreements) to you emotionally. People make this mistake and it leads to problems in the long run. It has the potential of destroying your relationship with the legitimate person...with time. I have come across people that tell their 'best friends' of the opposite sex things that they withhold from their partner. It didn't start in a day, it was built over the years... SOLUTION to the above senario is MAKE THEM JUST AN ACQUAINTANCE...set emotional boundaries... Physical ones may exist but the emotional one are tricky to draw afterall 'he is my 'best friend'. BE WISE, BE CAREFUL... MERRY CHRISTMAS 2 Likes 1 Share |

I think we have to know the Fact that People or Individual are different. what applys to someone may not apply for the other... I respect every ones opinion on this matter. So run away from danger once you sense it coming |

Toks2008:seriously some guys need Jesus in their life. i roll with brothers in the Lord dt can control themselves i also avoid being alone with any of my male frnds in a lonely place so evn if they r nursing crazy feelings they wunt b able to express it in reality... i had one funny experience while queuing to withdraw frm an atm the guy behind me was rubbing his stuff against my little asset. initially i thought it ws nt intentional and ignored him only for him to keep doing it. i hav to tell him to come to my front let me stay behind he did so wtout asking why ...my point is dt naturally guys will always nurse feelings evn wtout being ur frnd it now depends on the girl to draw the line.. so we girls know wht we r doing.. Thanks |
