Can a man and a woman really be just friends?

I think "friend" is a very vague noun. No man actively seeks out and puts energy into a 1:1 relationship with a woman for the sake of being "friends"

This is so gross because it implies there is nothing worth knowing a woman for other than what is between her legs.

But the whole point of the male existence is for what is between her legs. We study, do extracurriculars, to get to good college, then to get good paying jobs. All this for what? Getting laid.

I don’t understand the pp. Don’t men want to achieve things because they themselves are driven? Why would married men keep on pursuing success if they have ready found a partner? This so wild to think that men’s only goal in life is sex and everything else is secondary (including kids). I don’t buy that at all. So many men in long term marriages still want to do well so that they feel successful.

Nah, he's wrong. As a man, your mission in life comes first. Your woman either supports your mission, or you fire her and find a woman who does. (Getting laid is not your mission.)

Since laughter is the ultimate defense against the universe and MOST women are not really funny, it’s largely a waste of time for men.

His wife can't stand me, although we only talk about children and social and political issues. We've been friends for decades, we met through our children's sports and we've never had any romantic thoughts about each other.

Awe, like your 4th brother! Tee hee.

Being BFFs with a man whose wife hates you is bizarre. Just move on.

Honestly, this is a good point. The whole point of a woman's existance is to reproduce. And the whole point of a man's existence is to reproduce. We aren't here for any other reason.

What?!

Biologically. We have no other function.

I'm confused. So it's OK for me to be friends with a guy after menopause?

I mean, is this even controversial? Every organism on this planet exists to propagate itself. Some of us do and some don’t, and we of course want to enjoy life in the meantime, but yeah, that’s pretty much it.

Thank you. I've been validated on DCUM. I shall ignore anything anybody else says.

Fixed it for you: Not all men are Neanderthals, many are capable of having friendships with women (they are not attracted to) without wanting sex.

You sound like an incel.

I’m friend with my ex and his now wife. He is still a close friend.

Man here, I have several female friends. The attractive ones I want to sleep with but it doesn't mean I try to or I make it awkward.

There's a study that says men get a testosterone boost being around attractive women of child bearing age. So even if it's platonic, you still get the high of a hormone surge just being friends.

Just sleep with, not a relationship?

+1 DHs best friend for almost 20 was a female. I asked if they had ever hooked up or tried dating. His response was, "no, I know most of the details of her sex life and wouldn't touch her with..." Great friends but zero attraction.

I say yes but only is spouse(s) are welcomed to the friendship. Not that everything has to be a double date, but there can’t be any avoidance of a spouse wanting to join a hangout session. Ever.
