True I am sure. I used to work with many men, about 30. We were all just great friends and cheered each other on during good times and provided a shoulder to lean on during the bad times. I was never in a relationship with any of them. We were like a big family. They even gave me a baby shower when I was pregnant with my youngest son. We spent 48 hours a week together and we ended up like family.

[@Justcallme_sum]

Tamara story was actually very funny epically when she said "oh no not again " 😂😂 so cute

[@superninja6481]

Yes they can! The question is “Can a man and a woman be best friends”, not if their friendship will last forever or grow into something more. A man and a woman can still be best friends at one point and then become more than friends, but that doesn’t negate the fact that they were once best friends. Again, still applies to that initial question. Also, why does everything have to be sexualized. You’re obviously not going to be attracted to everyone, so if you and your friend don’t have these feelings, y’all can still be best friends. I think people should try to be more open minded because if you fail into a mindset that men can’t be best friends with women or vice versa, you could be missing out on a truly wonderful person in your life. My best friend is a girl, and we’ve never had feelings of each other. And even if one of us did eventually catch feelings, it might make things a little weird for a bit, but won’t change the fact that we’ll still be best friends.

[@GBU61]

It is all about sex for a man, that is why. Women control the sex and to what extent the relationship will go. Any man who allows himself to be put in the friend zone will never be looked at as attractive to her. That is why women like the bad boys. All he has to do is make one move and she drops him. That is not a friend. Now if we are talking about friends with benefits, then yes, that works for a guy.

I don’t think it’s possible. We are talking about “best” friend. The person you trust the most in the world. There is absolutely no reason for a guy to have a girl best friend when a guy would understand him better as a male. So my thought is: If the guy is not gay, then the chemistry that keeps the guy tied to the friendship and makes him willing to acknowledge the girl as his best friend will eventually turn into a sexual interest if one didn’t exist already. I meet a lot of people who I keep conversation surface level with even if I’ve known them for years. But I find, as a woman, I tend to open up emotionally to guys who I find attractive. I’m sure men are the same way.

[@reneeramoleta6262]

“And he was like oh man 😞” I love Tam’s expressions 🤣.

[@adrianbunea2006]

Most women answered yes, but most men would answer no, simply because men have nothing to gain from being just friends with a woman, if they needed just a friend, they'd be better off finding a guy: higher chances of common interests, more capable, more loyal, less opportunistic. This only refers to deliberately looking for a friend, there is also the chance you and a girl knew each other for a long time, like in my case, she actually asked me out but I didn't feel attracted to her because she was fat, and we stayed friends and still hang out 10 years later. In such a situation, where there is no attraction, and you already know each other, then yes, a man and a woman can be friends.
Now, most women would answer yes because they friendzone guys all the time, and because they have a lot to gain from finding lots of new guy friends, you can ask for his help, or money, and attention, but, as just friends, you don't have to give anything of value in return, because all they want in return is affection or sex, not money, or help. When a guy and a girl become friends, the guy is eager to go further, because the benefits at the current level are minimal, but the woman is happy to stay friends because she gets all the benefits for free.

[@dr.sinister9315]

@ Joel Vedamony. I fully understand, agree, and identify with your point. I have 5 close female friends, 3 of which I have known for over 20 years, and the other two which I have known for over 30 years. I maintained platonic relationships with 4 of them. I regarded one of these individuals as my very best friend. Nine years ago I ending up meeting a woman, and our relationship progressed from co-workers to friends to dating each other to becoming engaged and ultimately, happily married. Initially, I still regarded the woman that I considered my best friend before marriage as my best friend. I saw my wife as so much more than that; highly above that level. However, I soon came to realize that my wife had actually become my very best friend during the course of our developing relationship. So, just as you said, once I got into a committed relationship, my best friend became a close friend. My wife has met all 5 of my close female friends, and three of them were able to attend our wedding ceremony. Stay Safe, Stay Strong, and Stay Well. Peace.

[@theechubbyone]

Yes, yes and yes. This is the one part about growing that I truly didn't and still don't understand. It's like after puberty, girls and guys couldn't be just friends anymore I have dealt with male friends becoming crushes or crushing on them but when I think back if there is a spark of attraction to them, don't treat that person like a friend and then wait years later to try what you should've from jump. I have lots of male friends who are attractive but simply platonic buddies and family friends at this point and then there is another short branch who fall into a maybe category. Unfortunately my best friends are mostly women with a male best friend from high school and a cousin who I view as a brother and best friend. It can be done, if you're attracted to them or just look around one day because you're lonely, address it, it could be real or a mistake and move through it. The issue is people deny, lie and bottle up something normal so we've all learned to be weary of these friendships because so many men and women can't keep it honest with themselves and others.

[@cleopatrawf]

That's the problem having these discussions with just women. Ask lots of men and they will mostly say no. Even a guy in the audience says no. And this becomes complicated when u r married. How many of us want our partner to have their best to b the opposite sex? I personally would struggle with that. Boundaries have to b in place to show respect to ur life partner.

Most men will at some point think of u sexually and will even bide their time for yrs hoping to get a look in.

I’ve always felt this was the case that’s why I don’t like having male friends cause I see it coming a mile away.

[@GBU61]

It is not possible and here is an example.
Let’s say she has a male friend and then she gets a boyfriend. If the boyfriend tells her he will not be serious if she has male friends then she will drop him like a hot potato. A friend is there no matter what and has his back. A woman changes out friends all the time. Friendship to a man is a different relationship.
If the roles were reversed the woman would not want him to have female friends for the same reason.

@@GBU61 If your couple asks you to cut ties with opposite sex friends then that boyfriend/girlfriend is a jelous asshole. My girlfriend has her male friends just as I have my female friends and everything is fine. Why? Because trust. That's key to any relationship: trust. We both trust the other one will remain loyal, and want each other to be happy, and if our opposite-sex friends makes us happy, we respect that.

Even if we were single, I think we would still remain friends because we really just vibe and chat, nothing more.

[@Westcoaststyling]

The confusion lies in the definition of a best friend and how it came to be. Imo, a best friend is an unrelated family member you choose. A _reasonable_ person would absolutely *not* have any romantic thoughts towards a family member, not even if the idea was put on the table at any point of the relationship's progression, consideration would be absent. This isn't possible between a male and an unrelated female because of instincts and pressure from societal norms, our friends tend to have a similar attractiveness/personality to ourselves because birds of a feather flock together

Best friends spend a LOT of time together, they're together through all the good and bad times. They know your secrets and you know their secrets. Two straight adults where one is a woman and the other is a man are bound to think about each other like that at one point, and likely catch feelings especially when the two of them or one of them are not in a relationship.
The 2 most likely cases it wouldn't happen is if one of them or the two of them are not attracted to the other gender.. And if one of them or both of them are asexual. Friends? Yes but Best Friends? Unlikely.
