I think so. Ive been best friends with the same girl since 5th grade, neither of us have ever had any romantic inclinations, and I do not foresee it happening anytime in the future. Maybe thats an isolated case though haha

No. It you are "friends" with a girl it means you haven't banged her yet.

I tend to think they can but it takes some maturity and are we talking one of them being in a relatonship and the other being single?
that's more realistic to me than to single people keeping it friendly

I was happy being just friends with a girl in high school but we became best friends and realized we both had strong feelings and now we've been dating for 4 years. I think it's different for every situation and depends on how close the friendship is. If ideally your partner is your best friend, then it's a logical progression to go from being friends to developing feelings. But I have a couple female friends who i've known closely since like 6th grade and there have never been any visible feelings, but we aren't nearly as close as I was with my girlfriend before we started dating

I've got a couple of chick friends and I don't intend on doing anything with them. So yes men and women can just be friends

there are two girls that make up part of my core group of friends at school, but they both have boyfriends and i have a girlfriend, so there isn't really any awkward tension or anything there

When you're young, not so much. Once you get a little older, most definitely. Some of my best friends are women.

Yeah, but if you ever get the chance to leave the friendzone, you get the fuck out and take that shit for a ride.

A man can be just friends with a woman. Once you mature you realize that.

A few of my best friends are women, but all of them are also dating other friends of mine. I've definitely noticed that unless a girl has a boyfriend, they seem to generally think we need to become romantically involved, which is super annoying. So far, my solution has been to maintain emotional distance with pretty much any and all female acquaintances.
I think most people tend to think that they need to be paired up, so the natural tendency is to gravitate toward relationships, even if they're obviously a bad idea. Our species is a lonely-feeling one.

You may be just friends but we all know we think about banging them during "happy time"

I think if neither find the other attractive then yes. I hangout with plenty of girls that I have no intention of banging and just enjoy talkin with.
