Connect & Converse With The Sisterhood

Can Men & Women Just Be Friends?

Men will tell you that if they are friends with a woman they are just waiting for sex to be part of the equation. Women think that isn't the case. Who's right? And is there ever a case when a man and women can be 'just friends'? And what if the sister is caught in the 'friend zone' and wants more?

I've lost all my male friends b/c eventually they wanted more. Some friends that I had since I was a young girl eventually crumbled. At the same time, I've never been just friends with a guy where I wanted more. The thought may flash through your mind, but that's nature. I am one who feels true friendship can and always survives the trials of attraction. However since we're women our mindset is totally different. It's a very tricky subject filled with a lot of mixed emotions and double-standards, I think. If I wanted more, I would tell him; but instead of throwing away a great connection, I would wrather just deal with reality and move on.; ▶ Reply to This
