Yes! I have many guy friends I would not touch if my life depended on it! But they are my closest friends and they aren't gay either

no... I havent been on bz forever.. but here it goes.

Met this guy in the Bay Islands when I went on vacation there and we exchanged numbers after I found him on facebook and he remembered me from a month ago. He has a gf from Quebec (which is where I live now, but I'm half Honduran) lives with her, the whole deal (except they aren't married). We're both in long term relationships, he's been with her for a year and I've been with my boyfriend for a year.

However, I'm in contact with him, talk and text etc... as a "friend" & we'll see how that goes. I'm sure if we lived in the same place, we wouldn't be friends. Distance is the determination factor, until I go back there. If there is one hint of attraction, the friend deal is off.

I'll stand by my previous point, which was yes.

It is possible and can be done, but it all depends on your frame of mind, for me it's easy i know i have 2 women in my life that i met that i have no attraction for, both are pretty however I just feel nothing for them in a sexual way of any sort. And that's just how it is, sure sometimes you might see someone in a different light, but for the general premise of saying No, and going in with that attitude you're always second guessing what you and the other person says, if you don't think about it then your mind is open to either option. It might take some work, but i think there is a point where you can get a straight male and a straight female to be just friends with zero attraction to each other.

Well I actually have multiple male friends.

A large number of them might have physical attractions towards me, but since they all know my thoughts towards that matter and I made this clear to them it is okay. Sort of made an "Look, but don't touch" policy. Most of them now gave up trying to make me their gf so it is all in good fun.

Then there are also others who I know feel no physical attraction towards me and are also my friends. So yes, it is certainly possible.

For me the limit of allowing male's to be friends with me is on the basis that if I think a guy is only willing to be friend based mainly on superficial reasons I would not want him as a friend.

You're not friends if you DO something about it.

Yes, I think, and it's possible a good relation without sex.

I think the platonic friendship game is stacked against men for the simple fact that:

 

1. Men are much more "loose" in who they want to have sex with and it is based on availability.   In times of war and throughout recorded history, men will even rape grandmothers' dry cotchies if they have nothing better to stick their dick in.  A man with zero partners will have sex with a 3 out of 10 but if he has a 7, he will not have sex with the 3 unless the 7's libido doesn't matches his.  

 

 And women, save for nymphos, are exponentially more conditional in finding their suitable mates.  If she doesn't want to have sex  at all with a man, she won't be convinced otherwise even if her closest companion is only a double-headed dildo.

 

2. So a clean, frictionless platonic friendship with zero possibility of messy encounters would be with an very ugly woman and an ugly man.

I think your second statement is ridiculous. Zero possibility? Why?

A very ugly woman is able to attract a very ugly man,  I am sure about that. Look isn't everything.

Maybe there are exceptions, but definitely a woman's definition of ugly is different from a man's.    Looks are more important to men than to women.

 

Our other discussion brought me the feeling that women's media (eg. magazines, shows, etc.) seems to be significantly biased towards the objectives/interests of women while denigrating/marginalizing/distorting the needs of men.  I get this quite often from a lot of people.

 

 

eg. the Fat Acceptance thing- is basically a middle finger to men.  No wonder those fat people in Penn voted for Trump

A lot of ugly men always want a beauty woman, but a beautiful woman cans loves a ugly man. But depend the person, and the person' eyes, of course

I think boys and girls can be friends. What can happen is that one or both are sensitive to love. Then a single touch can make the jump from friendship to love. A common event is a party where I'm not sure if it's good for a friendship couple to spend a lot of time by themselves. If friendship is off and they end up in a bedroom, then it's good to make the best of the situation with eye contact and direct touching. Make the best of any friendship.
