I consider the wives of my two best friends to be very good friends on their own. I've been friends with both since before they started dating my best friends, never had sexual feelings for either, and have hung out with them both one-on-one and had fun before they were dating and since they've been married.

But I will admit that even though I'm in a long term relationship, I would bang nearly every female friend I have and I'm much less likely to give an unattractive woman a chance at friendship.

Can a guy be "platonic" friends with a girl/woman without having any sexual or romantic feelings?


I don't need feelings to play with tittays, or drop a load. So, I guess its at least plausible.

I 100% think you can.

I do think certain scenarios have to happen though.

I had some friends that were girls in college that at the time of me meeting them they were damaged from a previous relationship or some shite and I was already involved with someone else. So instead of taking the easy route and pursuing a damaged girl we just became friends and took on more of a brother and sister kinda relationship to where I watched out for her and cared for her but 100% not in a sexual way.

I'm surprised no one's whined about the friendzone yet.

No.

GF made a comment about how a female I know "made a pass at me" that I was blatantly oblivious to

She found it comical.

I've probably considered banging every girl friend I've had at some point or another. Even the less attractive ones. Come on guys...admit it. You've thought about the "not so cool or hot girls" as well.

ETA-for some reason, I seem to find I am only friends with attractive women. The rest I could give a shite about. Damn, I guess I'm shallow. Cause even the bigger girls are cute and not too big.

This thread has me

Only is she is ugly is the most popular response. My gf has plenty of good looking gf's I don't think she has ever left me along with them though. I think she has done this for a reason.

I am able to do both though I generally hang with girls with whom I would hit.

One of my closest friends is a woman. I hang out with her all the time. I'm also really good friends with her husband.

She's not super hot, but she's not ugly at all either. She's not outta my league, but above it for sure... Yet, I've never really had any sexual attraction towards her.

She's just a cool chick, kind of a tom boy, and we have a lot of mutual interests.

Yes, just don't try to bang her when you're drunk.

Sure, they usually have a serious deal breaker so you don't feel obligated to want them baw..
