Can men and women really be just close friends?
>>288556648Sure, just give each of them their own love interests.I get along with my sister and I don't want to fuck her, so I imagine female friends are kinda like that.
>>288556648Nah, remove sex from the equation and we would lose 60% of our reasons having to put up with women's bullshits.
>>288556749this dude never talks to women and eats the shit of his bully
>>288556648>Can men and women really be just close friends?I don't care about reality, give me an anime harem instead.
>>288556749>60%Your estimate is laughably low, Maybe when women was expected to do housework it'd be correct. In the post modern world I'd say it's closer to 90%. To answer op, men and women can only be friends in fiction.
>>288556648Sure, I'm good friends with my male friends' girlfriends/wives.I can see how this would look impossible to hormonal virgins like the ones replying in this thread, but they'll get over it when they reach their late 20s (hopefully).
>>288556648I've been friends with plenty of women although admittedly they are mainly lesbians or women I'm just not attracted to I'm not sure on the feasibility of a platonic friendship with someone you ARE attracted to without one-sided feelings developing
>>288556749Gay men famously never have female friends.
>>288556648No they can't
Sure, if the girl is ugly
>>288557438An ugly girl would just be a man with less in common. Not close friend material.
>>288557519>with less in commonIt depends. I grew up in a place where all the boys were jocks who just played football and shit, the only one I could talk about anime with (other than Naruto and DBZ) was a female classmate.
>>288556648Fixed,
>>288556648Only if the foid's ugly
>>288556648One of the coworkers I respect the most in my line of work is an older woman. We hang out at her house now and then on weekend evenings for drinks, and I sometimes bring friends so we can cook her something fancier than usual. It's one of the friendships I'm most grateful for.
