Man and a woman, 'just friends'?

(1/81) > >>

yayaavar:
It is said that  men are from Mars and women from Venus, agreed that there is friction between the two and  that romantic feelings and sexual attraction   are bound to creep-in between.From Adam and Eve down to the present generation, opposite sexes are always ‘meant’ to draw each other, love, fight, produce babies and that’s about it. 

Or is it?

Can’t the two ever be ‘just friends’?

The concept of platonic friendship that arose and  written from the time of Greek Philosopher Plato still remains as unclear and confusing as ever.

“What I'm saying is - and this is not a come-on in any way, shape or form - is that men and women can't be friends because the sex part always gets in the way.”...Harry Burns in When Harry Met Sally

Yes they can be friends if their temperament are complimentary to each other which is an essential ingredient in a friendship

good topic to discuss.......karma for starting it. can find many contraversial statements.

Depends upon how a person approached towards each-other. If they only look for sex as opposite partners than Mother can also be a women for a men and Father a men for female.

Its our teaching and nature how we approach.

I personally have many female friends but never kept evil in my mind. :) :)

yes,absolutely man and woman can be friends. friendship is a beautiful relation and it cud be with anyone depends upon our thinking.No sex, no lust, no passion, no secret dreams and desires: just friends.Friendships come in all sizes, shapes and complexities, but nothing confuses this important life relationship as much as sex. A man and woman can indeed be just friends, but friends don't (or shouldn't) express themselves through sex. We should Simplify our life by learning to separate the two.Sometimes we meet at work place ,know each other since childhood and don't feel to impress each other .Sometimes we don't want to lose a good friend so we keep our feeling to ourselves. The bond between friends is forged with acceptance, understanding, respect, trust, and caring – which are, in fact, the same ingredients in the recipe for love. The only thing missing is sexual chemistry.
So , men and women can be friends, but the bridge to romance – and the possibility of crossing it - almost always exists.
i will say man and woman can be just friend , true friends forever......we can be ourselves with gud friends , we don't need to pretend as sometimes we do in love.
