I was dating a girl and she had a lot of friends that were guys. She said she felt that women judged her and that she felt more comfortable having guys for her friends. She had like 10 or so guy friends. She said she was'nt having sex with them and never planned on having sex with them. Im wondering if anybody on here has been in the same situation and do you think that its likely that women can have guy friends and it not at some point turn sexual???

 

Well, I wouldn't say I have ever been in that situation, but I am kind of the third wheel of one. One of my best friends is a girl (I'm a guy), and she has a boyfriend, but we still hang out and there is absolutely nothing sexual between us. Her other best friend is also a guy and she hangs out with him without anything sexual going on between them.

So, in short, yes, it is possible.

 

I think that it can certainly be the case. As for me, I am in a similar situation where my girl could "relate" more to men than women. Granted she is a farm girl, so her being a bit of a tomboy isn't so far out in left field. At first it bothered me that she hung out with mostly guys but after a while I understood why and do not have a single problem with it now. If that is who she wants to be around, so be it, it makes her feel comfortable. The main thing is, it comes down to trust. I fully trust my girl 110%, and that trust is gained over time. I'm not sure the time frame in your situation, but IMO that is what it comes down to

 

Yes, but it's a lot harder the other way.

 

*shrugs* I can. I treat them normally; no flirting/play fighting anything like that...

 

I can and do have several 'guy' friends, they all know they are in the 'friend zone'. I think they are content just being friends.

 

Can a woman have guy friends without it being sexual?

I've had many great guy friends without things turning sexual. Yes, it does happen.
Some have hinted they want to take things further but I assume it's because A) they like me enough to want that B) it's the testosterone speaking. Both compliments, for sure!
Relationships do exist where a chick can be buddies with a dude and vice versa. How common are they? I don't know, but they are out there!
I'm female and for some reason I have found so far that more guys than women whom I have befriended are funnier to me (sharing the same type of humor), and they can talk about anything under the sun. Again, these are just my experiences.
I have not taken anything further into a friendship with a dude when I was honestly not attracted to him, for that would be like lying to him if I expressed that I was into him, and that is not fair. Plus to do that would likely change the friendship, and for the worst.
One male friend I have now is married...all the others are single---who I am interested in. We have the best times chatting but I know I cannot step over the line. And so I don't. I respect that he has a life with someone else and that's that. Am I weird or what? (I will bet that 30 years from now I'll turn out to be one of those old ladies who own 30 cats who has like 4-foot-tall unmowed grass in the front yard.) Nevertheless I have a good friendship with a married fellow, as well as with some really good single men I have known for years; some I even went to high school with. We don't share sex, but we share humor and um, other physical activities (of the typical outdoor kind). You know, the kind of things that friends do.

 

The Wife and I!

We share a similar outlook we both were attracted to the opposite sex for friends and yes, we can have platonic relationships past that it's a matter of trust for you and her. I trust my wife enough to have her still visit guy friends that she had no relationships with if she dated the guy I might feel different but, I'd hope to still trust her judgment!

 

i'm female and i have loads of male friends, they are friends nothing more

 

I have a good amount of friends that are guys. Being a girl you do get judged if you do have a lot of friends that are guys because everyone thinks you are a slut(annoying).

But yes, girls can have a friend that is a guy and nothing other than that happen, I had a friend that's a guy that I have known for 12 years and nothing has ever happened

 

I can say this from a guys side,

Yes girls can have guys as friends. I have a few friends that are girls and nothing sexual has happened purely because... we are just friends.

 

No

 

Sure it's possible! If she's earned your trust then there's nothing to worry about!

 

Nuances

In my youth, I've used to have some female friends, with no sex involved.

Unfortunately (or not!) there may arise two situations:

Either the boy friend comes and does his best to make her stop seeing me - it's jealousy, and I can understand it...

Either, after some time, even years, her knickers accidentally fall just when I happen to be around...

Still, I need to mention here that I've had a few friends with whom I was really very good friends and... from time to time, we also had sex - no strings attached, no jealousy, just sports and relaxation!

In conclusion, my personal opinion is that things don't have to be looked at in black or white - there are, still, a lot of nuances...

 

Personally I grew up with almost nothing but guys. Even to this day I prefer the company of men rather then anyone else. I have a guy friend that I have known for years. Like literally a long time. And not once did I ever think of anything more than just a friendship with him. It depends on the person and the relationship I guess

 

It's totally possible and plausable.

 

I actually wish I could have a friend that was a girl where we could joke around pervertedly and she not take it the wrong way. What I am saying is I have dirty yet silly mind and it would be cool to find a female that KNEW I wasn't hitting on her and played back!

 

I have a bunch of nonsexual guy friends, also a bunch of nonsexual girl friends.

 

yes men can have female friends without it being complicated.....i have a few friends who are female, one that is on here , one who is allways on another site pluss one who wont look at a computer. we talk about everything, we put the world to right, they tell me their probs with their hubbys, its wonderful to be honest they are better friends than any of my male friends. and its only friendship nothing more.....we do talk about cocks.bums.fannys.shaving......but we all talk about that with our same sex friends so its no different,

 

From what I know.. The answer is no.. Be it wither the fact that most guys wanna get with her, or she's not trustworthy... The common thought among most guys I know is that no, she can't..
