Can men and women just be friends?
Do you think men and women can just be friends?

I would be comfortable as long as the friend had a partner himself. If it's just a single guy, of course he's most likely going to fall for her eventually. I have a friend whom is a girl, and we've been friends for 4 years. Her boyfriend doesn't mind, because he knows we're strictly friends.

Yes.
Would you be jealous if your partner had friends of the opposite sex?
Depends on how much I trust her to be around them.

Like many have said, their is always an insecurity when your guy is friends with a girl or girl is friends with a guy...but it can help sometimes to think of it like...they might be jealous that you have a friend of the opposite sex too.
so just try not to let it get the best of you!
Like...yeah as much as I wish a guy could pull a NO OTHER GIRL BUT YOU EVER OTHER GIRLS SUCK I CANT LOOK AT THEM hahaha they cant because their just people..and girls and guys exist -__-
so just dont let it get the best of you :3

I say live and let live. Plenty of men and women have friends of the opposite sex without any tension going on.

Voted for Male - Yes ..
Depend from what kind of relation it is ..
If it (can) directed to sexual relation .. no doubt it will be full of jealousy ..

but of course it's fine as long as your best guy friend doest suddenly (and i mean totally unexpected) decides to ruin it by: "Hey I think I have a crush on you"... Well girls do that too i guess, but it still sucks. So yea as long as there is no excessive se-eught-xual tension then it's fine. And I don't really mind when my friends are hanging out with their friends, I'm not that possessive.

I have friends that are girls but the thing is I can't really be good friends with them or they'll think something is up even though I have no intention of dating them whatsoever.
So, yes you can be 'friends' but not good friends especially if you are around the same age. That's what I see it as.

Yes as long as its platonic. Nothing wrong with both parties wanting more in the future though.
But lets get back to the friends part:
Sure men and women can be friends, but more often than not there some tension of some sort going on [as pointed out in the earlier posts]. A good example would be when someone masturbates while thinking of a friend they may have a thing for. However, neither side would admit to doing something like this to the other unless that friendship boundary is broken. Then there are things like jealously even if both people aren't in a relationship pass friends.
IMO, a just friends relationship seems to work best when one, or both, people are already in a intimate relationship [not to each other, to people outside of the friendship]. Otherwise, the friendship will be a tad complex in regards to 'misleading hints' and flirting. It brings questions and little answers to both people as to what kind of relationship they have together.
sorry for the wall of text, as soon as I saw the title etc etc lol

I agree, we're talking about human instincts and urges, as much as we would like not to ruin a good friendship, that urge tends to surface and can complicate things. I don't want to say that it's not possible for men and women just to be friends, but your natural instincts will make it harder if your attracted to them.

Some interesting responses so far. my insperation for this poll comes from something my best friend told me her boyfriend said about me being her friend. he said, "all guys have intentions". we've been friends for around 10yrs now, and she is like a sister to me. i just don't see her in a sexual way. maybe i'm wierd, but i can see women in a nonsexual way. i've had lots of female friends that i had no intrest in having sex with. even attractive ones, and/or sure things.
