It's possible, and I agree. They can be some of the best friendships.
My closest friends are men, they have families of they're own now. But I've known them since we were young.
Maybe it has something to do with me being a bit of a tomboy. I don't know.
But I personally get along better with guys.
Sure, sometimes it's become a relationship, but not all the time.
Platonic is achievable.

i agree ....is possible at 100% .. , i have many good friends woman ,and nothing happened never !!

all depend from what kind of persons we are talking ,

i think for intelligent people is possible ,i say all!

Absolutely, men and women can be just friends. I love having male friends, as I can learn more about how they are and what they like best from women. And a lot have more interesting conversations than some women.

There are times it's better to be friends with the opposite sex, as women compete with other women and have jealousy issues, as do men. We also can get the opposite's sex's point of view when we have trouble understanding mixed signal's.

I agree too. I have two male friends who were my former colleagues. I think we have pure friendship. Friendship is just friendship.

Most of my friends have always been guys. We would hang out, party, and there are times when a guy or a girl needs someone of the opposite sex to speak to about things. We don't think alike, but it does not have to be a sexual thing. It never has with me. I seem to fit in better with my guy friends.

I wish I could share the same experience as the other ladies that commented here. In my experience I have never been able to have friendships with men. I have had numerous disappointments. Even when I have made it very clear and the guy has agreed that just a friendship is okay, it's only a matter of time before they start making declarations of love or lust. Then the friendship is destroyed and I am left feeling betrayed and hurt.

its means that u oppose the frienship of men and women??
if its so as u said, then why other people agreed??

I don't disagree. I would love to have good friendships with men like the other woman say they have. It's just never happened that way for me.

I have always found it easier to have close friendships with guys instead of women. They usually do not play head games or hand out drama that most women do (sorry ladies it is true).

I believe women can just be friends with men. And men see women friends and chic's they just havent nailed yet!! lol It's simple and stupid because i dont understand why you cant just be friends no matter what. I have male friends that i've had for years and we've never done anything but understabd that they Tried!! And when they tried they told me that they just have never felt the feelings that they have for me with any woman. And i told them that it was because we are cool. We have nothing to hide from each other and were totally honest and talk about everything because theres no pressure to impress. And when you have that type of openess, it's easy to mistake them for romantic feelings. But were still the best of friends. And that's because someone had to be strong and rational enough to say no.. So it is possible.. Absolutely. And you would think the best relationship would be with your best friend because they know everything about you and still love you. But i think it tends to ruin relationships and friendships when you mix the two because you have more to lose if/when it dont work. You lose your friend and your lover all at the same time. Why? beacuse you dont know people at there worse till you date them. You can love them as a friend but arent and wouldnt be compatable as bf/gf. I believe that there are some lines that shouldnt be crossed.. If your friends stay friends and it is possible!!

Many people use a 'friendship' in guise. there r amny people, men and women, who say they r friends with the opposite sex but still expect more. Me, personally, I love sex as much as the next person, but it is not high on my priority list so i can be in a friendship relationship and not have sex in the way of preventing a really good friendship w/ a man in the same manner as a woman.

I think.....during approaching the notion of friendship, our first problem is, that there is a lack of firmly agreed and socially acknowledged criteria for what makes a person a friend. In one setting we may describe someone as a friend, in another the label may seem less appropriate. We may have a very thin understanding of what friendship entails.
So, to me thats why some ppl feel dejection for developing this relation.
But on the other hand those who understand the core of this passion, enjoy an eternal relation in shape of friendship.

Now hear the answer about this:
You heared from many what they said about friendship between man and woman.But you missed know the truth in it !
therefore hear now this :

Man is not created to be alone, but to have love with his woman.
and man is not created for woman, but woman is created for man,
she is created from his rib and meat !

So the reason that in this sinful world :man with woman do not succeed to be happy in love and relation: is because of sin that act in them.
and to be happy:is only when sin is cleaned.
and to keep happy in the degree of that love :as far as your heart can be pure in love:then you can succeed only this:
when you love woman with free will, and not with forcing her to love you.and so also woman when not forcing you to love her !
so both with free will when you love each other and not force each other to love: then in this case only you will succeed to keep love and friendship long long long ,till you be able so or want so to do -you both !

then other friendship more :man and woman as brother and sister:have to be very controled:to not allow sex.

and then other friendship is man or woman with animal in love:
(not in sex) but in love to love animals as brother or sister.

and don,t kill animals,if you love them true.

i stronly belive in freindship between men and women especially on a proffional level we have a lot of friend in our workplace
and this in not impossible if all the relationship between man and women is only based on sex and feelings then each willhave only one person in his life from the opposite sex . i always peferrred man/woman friedship to woman /woman one
