    It's possible but unlikely.

    Very interesting article about platonic relationships in Psychology Today


    If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, it may explain at least one of their shared beliefs: Men and women can't be real friends. Blame the sexual tension that almost inevitably exists between any red-blooded, heterosexual man and woman. Point to the jealousy that plagues many rational people when a significant other befriends someone of the opposite sex. Boil it down to the inherent differences between the sexes. It just can't be done. Right?

    Though - a small issue is growing to find someone attractive.

    I hate agreeing with you but, this.

    Unless both parties are hounds.

    Relationship attraction (or love) is just friendship + sexual attraction. Once you have the friendship, at least one person (unless they are both hounds) is very likely to have the sexual attraction. Usually the dude because we find any female not completely repulsive, sexually attractive. Ugly girls tend to be like guys in this respect.
    A little rudeness and disrespect can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day.

    Yes, but a one-way sexual attraction (which is let's call it: the default - coming from males) does not mean that a platonic friendship is not possible, it simply means that the female has a choice to ignore the attraction and set boundaries or to walk away and not have to cope with that sexual attraction of the male friend. So also for the male, he can make a decision as to whether enjoy a friendship or none at all.

    I've had to cope with a few males in my life, men make great friends, but from my experience the older generation of males are still as randy and sex verskrik as the days of nipple caps and church twice a day, whereas the younger generation of males are less verskrik about porn and sex since they were born with it freely available, on tv and online, the over-reaction or compensation behaviour is much less or even missing in comparison with the the older generation and the younger generation of men today enjoy more natural relationships with the females in their society (where sex is no longer suppressed and where sexism is not as prevalent as it was with the older generation of males).

    The concept of being a gentlemen or a civil male means that you have control over your lust, you animal
    This text exists even though you can't really see it, now apply this truth to your existence in the universe.

    From reading your past posts, you should perhaps rethink your comparisons.

    There's some stats on it somewhere: a study done at some varsity: Basically a lot of women think it can work, and most guys agree that it can't.

    Are you saying I'm part of the "older" generation. To the women I like I'm the younger generation. I'm a total gentleman. I've never pressured anyone for sex. The feeling I get is that a lot of 45 plus guys are very sexually aggressive (and bad at sex to boot). Personally, I've never been in the friend zone. I put my intentions out there and if I'm still friends with you it's because you can put up with my flirting. I've had a few chicks in the friends zone and I always feel a little bad about it because it feels as though you're leading them on or something.

    Speaking of the younger generation: as useless and directionless as the seem to me, I recently met two friends (girl and guy) and I assumed the dude was totally in the friend zone. I was like you total wuss you must be hung up on this chick and here I am spading her in front of you. When I got her to myself a few days later she was pouting because he had ignored her in bed the other night. Eish kids! WTF? They do give me hope for the future sometimes.

    Because women use us for our minds.
