I had a friend. He was 10 years older than me. He helped me a lot in difficult moments by supporting me morally and showing understanding for the given situations, he helped me to see my mistakes, he supported me. We haven't had a sexual relationship, but I had the feeling that I was nice to him and to some extent this devotion was related to sympathy. I was very calm because he is married and I believed in selfless friendship. Then situations arose in which it was hinted to me that I was expected to show greater intimacy. For me, this was something that was contrary to my understanding. On the one hand, the person is very nice to me, but on the other hand, I think that you can't communicate on this level with everyone who is generally nice to you. It seems to me that this tarnishes the purity of friendship. And suddenly I realized that the same thing is repeated indefinitely. Obviously, there is no friendship between a man and a woman without sexual intercourse. I don't want that to be the case. Not every man you are friends with can be a sexual partner in the future. I wonder if there is a real friendship between a man and a woman without sexual intercourse Is it even possible to have a friendship between a man and a woman?

Not before sex :-) After sex possibly YES.
I do not believe in friendship between a man and a woman. One always has something else in mind - if in the beginning it does not appear sooner or later.
I do not agree at all with the comments. I am a girl and I have 3 really very good friends and I would give anything for them. They for me too. Yes, they tell me I'm very pretty. But they always knew they were just my friends. They never wanted anything from me. They are like brothers to me and I know I can always count on them. The friendship between a man and a woman is wonderful. As long as you manage to preserve it and set a clear boundary at the beginning. Apparently the people who wrote the 1st and 2nd comments have never had such a friendship and honestly lost a lot. Not everything is sex !!!
There is no such friendship unless you are colleagues and work together, but in any case I support № 1 and №2.
You think too much! You have a friendship, you like each other, you show feelings - why don't you love each other. Maybe what worries you the most is the age difference! And for this mystical purity of friendship - does not exist!
Friendship is not built in day two. It is generally accepted that the last stage in a relationship is pure sexual contact. And usually when it happens that one wants to break up, the other, ostensibly abandoned, usually asks the two to remain friends. When someone then asks, for example, "What's this for you?" The answer is, "Well, no, just a friend." This is not a friendship. When the wife happens to be a hidden snake, when you go through several lovers who turn out to be even bigger snakes and you remember that you have a girlfriend to complain to, and when after the second glass of alcohol you feel good you say to yourself. It's good that I have a girlfriend to charge me with energy. And something else. When you use prostitutes, whether they are gypsies or models, who undress faster than they get dressed, you understand that sex is a basic physiological need of man. Not everyone can have a girlfriend. The line between girlfriend and mistress is very thin. I dare not give advice.
I don't know about №3, but I don't think there is a friendship between a man and a woman! Always, sooner or later one will experience even small feelings.
I'm number 3 again. I have no intention of convincing anyone here of anything. I have proven real male friends and I'm very happy. I have known them for about 8 years. I currently live with them. Understand that they never asked me for anything, but always helped me in any way they could. The stupid thing is that really almost no one believes in such a friendship. But it is clearly being built on both sides. And all kinds of people. I really want you to meet a friend of the opposite sex.
What kind of friendship was that? There is only one option for friendship between a man and a woman without sex! This is a beautiful woman-ugly man and a beautiful man-ugly woman! In all other cases, sooner or later it comes to sex! Number 3 is not in class at all, he obviously lives in another world!
I share your opinion. Ah, those who say they have friends and girlfriends ... it is undoubtedly just these friends of theirs suppressing this desire. And sooner or later, however, they show it. Nooo, there are always exceptions. :)
Number 3, most likely still 18-19 years old and the living has not yet shown anything. But there is certainly no such thing between a man and a woman. Sooner or later one side kills, of course everything is suppressed and things continue as before. But internally it is completely different and painful for both parties.
The fact that you can't find loyal friends is entirely your problem. Apparently my friends are an exception ... Me too ...
Number 3, I support your words! I also have a male friend for about 10 years. We are both 24 years old and have had a family and children for a year and a half, but we continue to see each other every day and be best friends. Before we settled down, I slept with them, he slept with us and we never, but never had sexual contact or hints of such. We feel like brother and sister, and that can't be compared to same-sex friendships. Really very unfortunate for those who think that there can be no friendship between a man and a woman ... you are very wrong.
Number 13, thank you! Finally, to have someone who believes in this friendship besides me. And at number 9 I will ask a question: Who determines whether a man or a woman is ugly. I'll tell you one thing. I don't physically like my best friends, I can't like them. Would you like your brother or sister? However, I can tell you that they are certainly not ugly. Nor do I. Some may not like them, others may be crazy about them ... You look at things very superficially. And at number 11, I'll say I'm not 18-19. I am 24 years old. I have seen and experienced enough good and bad moments. I have selected a few true friends. And I'm sure of them. I want to quote number 13 to make you realize it better: "It's really unfortunate for those who think there can be no friendship between a man and a woman ... you're in a big mistake."
I support number 3 and number 13. Friendship exists and it is built over the years, both among women and men and between them. There are probably people who prefer to read Freud or do not read at all, and do not learn the lessons of life. There may be feelings, but even if you know the true dimensions of the highest feeling of love, you will understand that there is a different love. From passionate, romantic, to friendly, etc. and another, which lately is not very popular universal. Well, I'm 40 and I can guarantee from my own experience and accumulated life wisdom that everything depends on ... who is looking for what in their short life.
To Number 3/8 /: How old are you? Between 16-20, I guess. Yes, but the question is not: Is there a friendship between a BOY and a GIRL, but between a MAN and a WOMAN. You make a difference, don't you? Of course, we support your teenage friendships, but they are not yet in the MEN-WOMAN category. As my husband says: '' There is no friendship between a man and a woman, remember this! Sooner or later it all ends in bed. " And it really is so (tested ...). You just haven't convinced yourself yet. And I will add one more thing: if you end up in bed, such a friendship breaks down - forever.
Number 16, if you fucked with all your male friends or your husband fucked with his female friends, this doesn't apply to everyone. Remember it and as long as you annoy me :)
To number 17 from number 16: Would you tell me how old you are? I HAVE ALREADY SAID-FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN A BOY AND A GIRL-YES, BUT BETWEEN A MAN AND A WOMAN-NO. YOU WILL GROW UP, YOU WILL UNDERSTAND IT. If you love, don't insult so vulgarly - it happened to me once and you don't care about my intimate life at all. If you have a meaningful argument, state it without spitting. And just to argue, I'm going to ask you the following question: If you often see a man and a woman together who are not in a relationship (that is, not married or boyfriends) - what would you think at a certain stage - you would hardly think that they are ' "ONLY" FRIENDS. On the contrary, I am convinced that you will think of only one thing - you know what. I can try to accept your thesis, but only if you argue.
What are my girlfriends for when I have boyfriends? Girls are just for boyfriends. I'm 20 and I was on this principle in kindergarten, so were my other acquaintances.
I have a girl from 8-9 years old already, she is not ugly at all, and I am a mixture between Brad Pitt and Arnold Schwarzenegger :); so my word is that there has never been anything between us but friendship. We are constantly together, only the two of us go on vacation, we drink, we sleep in the same bed, but it has never been like that, so to speak. And let me tell you, everyone thinks we're fucking, but no matter how much you explain ......! ........ She settles me with friends and I, on the contrary, asks me about each of my boyfriends if I approve and so called I don't know if this is a friendship between a man and a woman.
Yes it is possible but there will always be sympathies and thoughts on one side on a sexual basis .... otherwise in my opinion true friendship does not exist either between a man and a woman or between women it is about this between men I'm not sure .... no friends just good acquaintances.
There is no such animal ...... hahaha sprite has something to tell you .... !!!!
I also think that there is no real friendship between a man and a woman, but life has shown me otherwise. I lost my husband and was left completely alone. It was very difficult for me, but we had some family friends in the village. Whenever I went to the village, my husband's friend immediately responded to my requests. He came and helped me, we talked selflessly and kept company. Of course, his wife also came, whom I liked very much. I can write a lot about my country friend, but I have always relied on him, wherever I am whenever I call him he comes right away. He always told me that while I was alive I would always help you. He was a great friend of my husband, but he also became my support in my life. Today he was admitted to the hospital and he, surrounded by his family, called me that he was ill. I immediately went and felt that this was a friend, who wants to share with me what hurts him and what happened to me as a sister and friend, because he knows that I will be sincere and compassionate. I believe that his friendship is sincere. I changed my mind, but not all men, when you are a little more careful with them, take friendship for granted.
I believe that there can be not only friendship between a REAL man and a BEAUTIFUL woman, and it is not right. If you fall, don't miss the chance, but go ... go.
if friendship grows into love and then one breaks up the other can't be friends anymore in my opinion, because how can you just be friends with the one who broke your heart and you know you can't and won't be able to share your love with him, but just to be his friend, etc.
Unfortunately, I think that there is really no chance for friendship between the two sexes ... I recently understood it and it became quite dull. I don't have male friends who, at the core of their friendship, don't want anything more ... When they drank, they hinted to me, supposedly because of alcohol ... but why doesn't I, as a drunk, drive me to romance? However, there is a strong friendship between a man and a woman who were friends (supposedly), then had sex, talked (that nothing will change) and then became closer. I say it from personal experience .... But here I went back to the beginning ... One is still a friend (more often a man), so that there is a chance for something to happen again .... even if it's just sex on him enough of these .... These men are capable of being next to your grave ...
Hey people, don't be fooled ... 30 years I thought it was possible BUT NOT the biggest regret ... One side is always hoping for something more and that's the man ... because otherwise, why waste time with you. We annoy men with our eternal detailed stories and they wouldn't do it to themselves if there was no reason ... It happens if they grew up together as children and it's still not very safe .... If you don't believe, think about all your male friends, look at their reactions and you will understand ... I'm sorry, I don't want to admit it, but if a woman looks good, the only man she can have as a friend is gay .... not hetero ... there is no way it happens ... And I don't like dear ladies, I really wanted it to be true, but it's a fact ... Men are men, and we are dumb ducks when we think we are friends :))
I have male friends for almost 20 years. Most of them got married and are still the same to me - friends. I feel like brothers. However, I know that each of them wants me or has wanted me sexually at some point in our friendship. Because I'm quite attractive maybe or because men are like that by nature. I don't have an ugly friend. They are all very courted by women and with great self-confidence. My friends have never sexually attracted me, so they are just my friends. They accepted my husband as their brother. They love all the people I love. There are 5 teams and they have different professions, different ages, different interests ... they have nothing in common with each other. To me, they're like brothers ... that's it. If any of them don't like it, he knows he's going to lose me as a friend. And if they have been with me for so many years, then they also hold on to my friendship. I have been told many times that they do not say to other women what they say to me and to me, and that they feel like a male friend of theirs. And a large% of people who know me say I don't have a woman's mind. In the first place I am a man, and in the second I am a woman and only in front of my husband;) ... So there is a friendship between a man and a woman, but the woman is unusual;) ... this is not a topic for ordinary women .. they just can't understand;)
and I have male friends, especially one, but I think, and they told me in a moment of frankness that they almost always think of something more at 1 or another moment. another question is whether they will do something to fulfill their aspirations :-) g41
I don't know if there is a real friendship between a man and a woman, I can only say for myself. Even if the woman is not very attractive, if I am with her very often, there will always be a desire to have sex with her. And the very thoughts of something intimate between two show that they are not real friends, and one of them is just pretending and struggling. I can also tell the women here, who are so convinced that they have real male friends, not to be. Just because they haven't said or shown it doesn't mean they haven't thought about having sex with you.
Yes, it depends on the relationship and age.
To all who comment that such an animal exists ... Well, there is no such thing, even you who try to convince us that there is pure friendship, show that it does not, just because you have read this confession or whatever it is. Once you get here, then either you have some doubts about your feelings for "your friends" or you have doubts that they have something to do with you :)
there may be a friendship between a man and a woman, but it is simply quite difficult to achieve - there must be certain conditions for this and they can be varied: for example, if the friends man and woman are in no way attracted to the other as a vision; or they both have successful relationships in which there is a lot of love and they love their partners so much that for them in a deep relationship they are just a farce. the man may be gay or the woman may be a lesbian; they can be colleagues and friends at work - but this can't be exactly this real friendship, at least in my opinion, otherwise men don't think about sex while we work, so I tend to believe that a good relationship can be maintained without sexual tension. in the workplace, the other option is to have grown up together and simply have a mental attitude towards each other. But in all other cases, this is complete stupidity for the woman can come and exist, but for the man how to do it if he is single and the woman against him attracts him at least he would have thought about sex with her. and maybe if the man is balanced he is aware of himself and what he wants - sex is in the background he mostly looks for qualities in the woman that are specific to everyone and abe this is love and every other chick for you who does not have this radiance as it is he says he can be your friend But before that to be such a man you have to have been through many women and generally be a master in the field;) and these friendships are dangerous - women imagine having a friend whom you love very much and he has a beautiful girlfriend with whom they are only "friends" or my girlfriend to have a "boyfriend" type macho well, I personally would be very angry.
Friendship between a man and a woman grows into something more, or is broken, those who claim that there is such a thing, probably confuse the friendship with a simple acquaintance - going out together, and maybe certain moments of frank conversations. For a friendship to exist, it must be lasting, and such a relationship between a man and a woman is possible only in one case, when one is not heterosexual or very ugly, but even then it is not certain whether they will not end up in bed again. , it's a matter of time. In my life, all the people I know who were just friends, either the thing grew into a relationship, or there was once something after which they remained 'friends' until one got engaged.
About 34 You described it very well. I also agree with numbers 33 and 35. I used to think that the men around me liked me only as a MAN, but I realized that I accepted them that way. I don't deny that I'm beautiful (at least that's what others say), but I've always thought that what I really am is better. I made sure that whenever men liked me at first sight, if they got to know me they liked me even more. There can be no friendship ... there is simply no way. What I did not do, how I did not try to repel certain men with behavior, it does NOT happen. On the contrary. Men are not as suspicious as women and they can even justify you if you do something stupid ... But we women can't understand it. PP To 34: I want to tell you that despite everything, your boyfriend may have a friend MACHO, but never want him. I have such a friend. I know that he liked me and still likes me, but that's cool. He is always by my side, helps me and is very important to me. I hope we never part. We are both married. We see each other often and always in secret, because we are attractive and no one believes that there is nothing. His wife is jealous of me, my husband is not (they are friends) ... so if your boyfriend has a friend, especially if he has known him for a long time, no matter how attractive she is, the probability of something happening is small ... And freedom: She is the best advisor and insurance :))
I read interesting comments, although no new ones have been written soon. You know, I'm not a WOMAN yet, I'm a girl and until recently I was the most ardent defender of the thesis that friendship between a boy and a girl / man and woman, but things really are not like that. There is a friendship if you go out for a coffee once a month, share, help each other, trust each other, you know that when you need someone, that person will be with you, BUT if you become too close to a person of the opposite sex and be you, so to speak, 24/7 together, often the man issues luggage, if I may say so. That is, at least I am of the opinion that a certain distance must be observed in order to even have something, to be blunted in time ... And yet - even this is not a guarantee. Hahaha Well, forgive me for calling you that, but all the deluded ducks that you think are yours "
Friendship between a man and a woman is possible, but not for everyone. Such a friendship has boundaries and outlines, it is not like a friendship between only men or only women. Such friendship is possible only under certain conditions, but even then it is fragile and often undesirable: 1) The two are happily engaged to other people, but have known each other for a long time and hold each other, support, share and do not feel attracted to each other. 2) They have similar interests and know each other, but there is no attraction between them 3) Once one had a sexual interest in the other, but was cut off and his aspirations evaporated (it is rare, but it is in life) 4) They have the same moral restraints (between 2 religious people who hold on to marriage, morals and family values and realize that passions are not love). Christians know true love, which is not just eros. 5) Colleagues are at work and have become close over time, but have no interest in each other 6) There was sex between the two, but later things fell apart and because the two do not hide insults and resentment towards each other, nor were in love, but just liked each other, have things in common and in most cases their relationship was short, even one-time. 7) The man is gay Of course the friendship between a man and a woman is something quite complicated and mushroom-like, there are poisonous twins, that is, there is often a false one in which one party (usually the man) pretends to be a sincere friend and has sexual interest or she is even in love with the other country. This is a pretty nasty option. Often such men lick the legs of their "girlfriends", and they skillfully take advantage of the situation to get personal gain. Such men often lead women back and forth, becoming their emotional support, even trash cans, but the women in question are in love with others and fuck others. However, it is clear that a friendship between a man and a woman is really a very, very difficult thing, it is for extremely mature people and has its specific limits. There is no way to talk to a woman as sex friends as to a male friend. It is the creation of sexual tension that can ruin such a friendship, because after a few drinks, sweet talk and arousal in a woman, such a friendship has gone to the movies. Some people think that sex between friends is normal, but these are not friends, but lovers who from time to time make it friendly, which is an absolutely false friendship and just satisfying the urge. However, between two former lovers a friendship is possible, but not those who have been in a long and passionate relationship, who have experienced many life events together. Between two people who had an adventure, but quickly realized that they are not for each other, a friendship is possible, but again with conventions and again it is too rare and again relies on emotional maturity, life experience and of course some moral restraints. In ex-lovers, friendship is extremely rare for another reason. When they bond with new people, the new ones would be jealous. There is no way a man cannot be jealous of his wife from an ex-lover, because fears and rivalry arise. In general, things are very, very complex and conditional and can not be considered as simplistic as in most comments. The conclusion is still one: there is such a friendship, but it is always with one thing in mind ... but not those who have been in a long and passionate relationship, who have experienced many life events together.

Friendship with women. - Women can very successfully become friends with a man; however, to maintain this connection, a little physical antipathy should probably help. Nietzsche
