Hot take: depends on the person specifically If a man only sees a woman as a romantic/sexual opportunity, no The reverse is true. If a man has self control and has woman he doenst feel sexual around but has an emotional bond with, it is possible.

I think putting it all on men is a bit weird to me also think you can be attracted to your friend and have the self control not to only view them that way. It’s natural to become attracted to a cool person you hang around but that doesn’t mean you have to try to pursue something especially if it breaks their boundaries

if it depends on the person, the answer is still yes generally though. saying no implies a man and woman can never be friends. but it is possible so the answer is yes

I disclaim the reverse is also true. A super horny woman that sees a man is a dick appointment won’t be able to hold male friends.

You also must consider emotional vs sexual attractions. Emotional attractions are natural regardless of gender and can result in a deep friendship. Sexual attractions are way harder to maintain a friendship with as you’ll always be wanting that from that person.

I agree with this in general, however I do understand those who say it’s difficult or impossible(including my mother). I have had female friends my entire life but I’m also nb and bi so my experiences are different than a man or woman.

impossible for them still doesn’t mean impossible in general. the only right answer to this question is yes because it’s a fact that there are men and women out there that are platonic friends.
