Can guys and girls be just friends?
 
Can guys and girls be just friends?

I am sure you have all had discussions about this. I have had many.

I don't want to share my thoughts just yet, but give me some strong arguments as the the way you believe.


thanks

My closest and best friend for over a decade is female, myself being male. I see no problems with it, except that some of my girlfriends and some of her boyfriends have had issues with it.

I think it's weird for a guy to have NO female friends.

Yes.

But only if they're not even the slightest bit sexually attracted to each other.

There is not now, nor has there every been any sexual attraction...

I would disagree about the "you can't have friends that are hot" comment.

I have a ton of friends that are girls and most of them are very attractive. If I didn't have a girlfriend and they weren't dating anyone though I would hit up like 80% of them. Social conventions and common sense hold me back.

What does this mean? That your girlfriend is cool with it, and it's society that's holding you back?
