discuss Can men and women be close friends?

[lens]

The possibility of connections between men and women is both feasible and can produce great benefits. All of my close friendships are with women and that was because of life experience which I don't want to go into.

We share thoughts and provide continuous support to each other in both good times and bad. Our friendship is not gender-based and that is how we are able to overcome all obstacles. The connection between men and women as friends can happen naturally without any romance.

Though it might be difficult because of the way it was perceived by society. It is possible for such relationships to challenge traditional gender social standards. It all depends on the ability of the people involved to handle possible challenges that comes with it and that could be from practicing openness about what they both want and stating the boundaries with each other. The ability to maintain any close friendship between different genders depends heavily on establishing clear boundaries.

The friendships I have with men allowed me to develop better understanding of how men are and how they tend to behave when they confront different situations. I have add honest conversations with my male friends on many occasions and it made me develop a better understanding of the emotional life of men and their life experiences.

I don't see why they cannot be friends, relationship between a man and a woman is not always sexual

It is very possible for a man and woman to be close friends without any romance going on. I had a friend like that one time. We just vibe really well, do a lot of things together and no romantic interest was there.

It can only work when they are both very clear about their boundaries in the friendship. It will make sure not one of them is going to try and take advantage of the other in the friendship.

If they are morally and ethically strong, they can certainly stay close friends. If they are deeply in love with their own partners, they will certainly remain close friends with other people.

Some people argue that it's difficult to put a goat and yam in the same room expecting the goat not to eat the yam. This is how difficult a man am a woman friendship can be very difficult at times.

I can't see any reason as to why men and women can not be close friends. You are not going to be attracted or interested in everyone you meet, that would be crazy if that was the case. I have had friends both male and female and have been able to stay close friends with male friends without it going any further than friendship.

absolutely. Some men and women can remain friends without any romance. However, some people like to take advantage of the friendship and tend to want more. This never ends up well if both aren't attracted to each other like that. Friendships are everything, genders don't matter in this perspective.'

It's clash of interest I know that makes such relationship not to last long the way it should. If I am in this kind of friendship with anyone, the minute I start noticing any kind of manipulation and gaslighting, I'm going to walk out of the so-called friendship.

Out of respect for my wife I don't have female friends. We have couple friends, but I keep a distance from anyone who she may look at and even wonder about for a split-second. She is the same. It's an unspoken agreement and one that works for us.

On my own part, I can be a close friend with a guy for years and nothing happens. Even if I have to be in an enclosed space with the guy, nothing would still happen. But I don't know what is wrong with today's guys. They sexualize everyone in the opposite gende. And that's including every close friend or even close business associates.

 

[Kross]

I have been close friends with ladies. I have always been the guy that would not want to jeopardise a beautiful relationship with the opposite gender because of lust. I have had close female friends stay with me for months and we didn't cross the boundary of genuine friendship. I go with the philosophy that it is not every lady that enters my life that I should sleep with.
