Default Re: Can guys and girls be just friends?

Many girls say that they can't be friends with girls, and thus, most of their friends are guys.

Reason? Usually they say that guys are just more sensible. That girls get upset over small details, or just fight for attention. I don't want to get into an argument about the reasons because I'm not sure about them at all.

So what ensues? Well, girls like to have guys as friends. Because of this need for friendship, and because they get it from guys, they will be less likely to become attracted to their guys friends because they have a lot of them, and becuase they need to have basic friendships.

Guys on the other hand can be friends with other guys and friends with girls. They don't need girls for friendship since they can get it from guys. Since they can get their friendships elsewhere, guys don't have a necessary need to be friends with girls and are thus more likely to become attracted to them.

Some of my wording needs to be reworked, but this is what I came up with when I was discussing the topic with a girl who is a new friend of mine. I feel like I have the ability to choose whether or not to become infatuated with her or not.

Irrelavantly, it's my understanding that guys will be more open to sexual advances from girls who are their friends than vice versa... it just seems easier to imagine a girl getting offended rather than flattered. Can this stigma be lifted, or should there be a public outreach message letting girls know that if they want to get physical with a guy who is her friend, she's better off making the first move?
