can men and women be "just friends"?

Yes, why not? But for me..they can be friend only if they know how to "keep some distance" to one another.

In your text, you have indicated 'Just Friends'. That means to become friends only in the first thought. No harm, if the person is from the opposite gender since real friendship is above all a matter of faith, not desire at all. It is this faith factor that keeps friendship well alive between individuals for their life-time, even if they are only 'just friends'! But in many cases, when this 'just' is converted to 'lust', then starts the trouble part in the real friendship between persons of two opposite gender. This type of trouble that we know, reduces the social fidelity of a person always. So by becoming 'just friends', men and women must be very careful of this concept, "Just". Thanks.

There's nothing wrong why women and men can't be friends. I think women and men can't be friends if they have a past relationships. Some says that this situation exists but in my opinion it can't be exists.

a man women never b a friend only.....there is not a single condition in which they possess a relation which is called frienship.......relationship of a man and women.....will definately a need of both a man n a woman...and this relation is full of emotions...sometime fun ,sometime beloved, sometime loved.....sometime every thing sometime nothing....sometime it is relation of..... ........1,,mother... 2..sister 3..girl frnd 4..and obviously....a wife... and there also so many other names which asigned for a relationship of a man and women .........but inspite of these all relationship.....we can't say clearly exactly what are the feelings behind these each relationships......but one thing is clear that generally men needs women and women needs men......and every relationship of man and woman stands only on either love or hatrait ............so the relationship b/w man and woman still needs another name.....which also not become universal.......so it is our perspective which defines this relationship.....
