Yes, men and women can be friends.

One party is usually interested, but yes they can be friends.

But seriously, I have female friends, I make female friends because I'm around them so much so they become my friend.

Lol at misc logic in this thread.

tbh I personally cant...shes either attractive to me or not. it starts out as friendship (not the ugly ones) then we eventually smash or dont hit each other up. ill be damned if we're out in public and get cucked when her love interest comes along and im sure shed feel the same when I bump into a biddie. i think age may be a major factor also
I got 99 problems but the misc ain't one.

Always pick 4.

Then proceeded to go on a rant about how no man actually wants to be friends with a woman, that if she's hot they want to bang her and if she's ugly, she's worthless and adds no social value so they don't want to hang around her. 99% sure he was a Redditor, did not respond to his goodnight text.

Now, this guy is kind of a douche--no second date for him--but is this actually true? I actually like my male friend a lot, he gives way better advice than my female friends and is less drama. I don't think he was ever trying to date me, wet met at a show and just hit it off. He's never asked me to do any romantic type stuff, it's always just been chill. He fixed my sink last week and I gave him a basket of scones. Is this orbiter stuff? Have I unknowingly friendzoned someone?

Are all of a woman's male friends just waiting for their opportunity to bang her? Do you have female friends who you actually value/enjoy their non-sexual company?

Aware me, misc.
No. If another guy just wants to be friends with you then he's a *******.

I think it's possible to be completely platonic friends IRL with the opposite sex, but very, very rare. I think it's more possible if you're not hanging out together, if you just text or something.

Yep. OP posted an example and you can tell she isn't sure if he has feelings for her, or if she has feelings for him. Someone gets feelings at some point.

Never really understood why wanting to phuk someone means you can't be their friend.
Just because I'm sexually attracted to someone, means I can't be their friend?

One of my best friends is married (as am I). We are friends. I would absolutely bust in those walls if we both were single.
We've gone out to bars and chit, both with and without our S/O's. We work together and have a blast being flirty all night while working together. Would not cheat on wife with her. Her husband is cool people too. Have gotten drunk with them both.

What a perfectly timed Post!

I'm seeing a FWB and she's like a ****en dood with a pusssie. Drinks, smokes, vapes, swears constantly. Acts like one of the guys. On her snap this weekend she was at a "friends" house for a housenparty and it was like fuken 5 doods and her LOL. she's 5'0, tiny, brunette long hair, lifts, petite with dat angus, loves gangster rap music. But constantly has drama in her life. she's a pretty big sloot. and i guarantee you all those 5 guys would of banged her right there and then if she let them she loves to lead guys on.

For me personally if i meet a girl if your attractive i will want to bang you, if you have a great personality the urge to bang you will rise. However i wouldn't want to hang out in a group rather do one on one with the girl. if your unattractive or fat then i'm not interested i'll be your friend but i don't think i could hang out and chill platonically with girls like i would with the boys. Thats why they call it getting yucky with the boys!

I spent 7 years after all the schooling was done in a work setting that was demanding and punishing. Work hours were consistently 80+ and many spirits were broken, repaired, and then only to be shattered again.

Silent agony was the hallmark of a survivor during that span of time and it had this ineffable effect on camaraderie. The closest people and the ones I was emotionally tied to were both men and women who underwent the same experience. Some of the women brought out a carnal need in me but many I spend time with alone now without the need to make it romantic.

A few were traditionally attractive, but when you've been through so much together, the basic desire of lust can be overwhelmed if you achieve a higher fulfillment.

Lol. You cannot fool me. You know exactly what you are doing, don't you? Fixed your sink and you gave him scones? Lmfao. Plenty of women use men under the guise of friend, it's ok. You don't have to play dumb and pretend that this is not what you're doing.

Possible to be professional acquaintances (Work, School, etc) but any guy that takes time out of his day to 'hang out' with a girl is just waiting for his opportunity to fuk.

Even if he's married or has a gf, he is still lining up a possible replacement / side ho

This is true. Women are not stupid like the misc says so often. Women are more socially intelligent than men in general and they know exactly what is going on. Most women pretend they are niave and say "we're just friends" and men fall for it. Women are not stupid. They know exactly what they're doing with their orbiting ******* "friends" they string along.

We have been friends for 5 years and I cannot tell you how many things I have gone out of my way to do for him.

I'm not using him. It is entirely possible for people to be...idk...nice. I genuinely care about him.

It must suck to be so bitter that you think any woman who isn't slinging her puss puss at a guy is using him.

I'll always want to phuck a girl if I find her attractive. Unfortunately I'm ugly and short and kinda taught myself to get used to the fact that it will be unrequited. Basically I have to remind myself that I'm just friends and nothing more. It's easier to befriend women who are clearly out of my league because I know I can't phuck them, though if it hurts too much I'll cut off the friendship.

I can restrain myself though and don't have problems being friends with women, but I avoid hanging out one on one and try to keep my distance so I don't fall in love.

This is really sad. I'm sorry.

I sort of experienced this with a guy in college who always hung around me. He told me he liked me, I told him I didn't like him but he just kept hanging around...finally I had to cut him off because I thought it was kinder...I didn't think he ever would have gone away on his own.
