i think men and women can absolutely be just friends. i think the problem lies with men not being able to take no for an answer, or riding out hope that they will eventually fall for them

You’re not technically incorrect in your logic, but I think the questions implies “in most cases, can …”

you’re technically not incorrect, but in certain situations more than just a yes or no is needed

i disagree w this person anyway but i think their use of the word “many” is throwing u off bc ur taking it very literally. i’m assuming they mean usually no they can’t, but there are quite a few exceptions, although those exceptions still make up the minority.

Like sure anything CAN happen, it’s just implied they’re asking the majority

yes bc there could be exceptions. the question “is that purple wall purple” doesn’t need more than a yes. but in that specific question, there are exceptions

so if men and women can be friends period bc it happens often why would there be an exception of how often it happens?

i’m seriously not arguing with any of yall i’m just conversing: i just don’t see how it’s an exception if it’s happening a lot they asked can they be friends and the answer would be “yes” bc it’s happening 🧍‍♀️

no i agree with you. the person ur replying to is wrong. i think when some ppl see a poll like this they assume saying yes or no has to mean the majority. so the person u replied to would think no, because in their mind “yes” is not the majority, even tho there are some exceptions. or its possible they just wanted to elaborate on their answer. ur logic isn’t flawed they’re just not taking the question as literally as you
