Do you think women and men can really just be friends?

Yup, that's true. Well, there are really just different types of people.

Hi Ingkingderders. That is what it all boils down too. I am more comfortable with guys the women. I don't give a hoot about going to the mall with a bunch of women spending money. I am more of the type to spend only what I need to spend.I don't like chit chatting about nonsense either. I want to spend my life learning something useful.

Hi Pageantgirl and welcome to my lot. That was the way it was when I was growing up since I had more brothers then sisters I hung out with the guys. My sisters was older then me and one younger then me and they were really into looking for a boy. Me all I wanted to do was learn new things I didn't think about boys like most girls. I have never been looking for a husband I find them without looking. But most of my friends have always been guys. No I am not gay/lesbian. I just wanted to know how to do what I needed to do without having to call some guy to get something fixed. I wanted to be able to work on my own car and on my own home that is mostly why I hung out with the guys.

Thanks! I completely agree. I love cars and would rather do it myself than find a guy to do it. That must be why I scored really high on Mechanical for my ASVAB. I agree with you also on the husband thing. I met mine when I was not looking for anyone. It was much better having the guy come after me than to run after him. There was just too much drama and gossip for me. The guys always made me feel very special when I hung out with them as well.

Hi Sid. I like having guy friends they don't judge who you are or what you look like. Most of the guys I have known like to do things and I am a person that loves to learn. Heck I used to be scare of being on the roof but now I know how to put a roof on so it is no problem any more.

Hi Deedeehall. I have many male friends and my husband has many female friends we don't go to their home and hang out, but they come to our home and hang out and that is cool. I have met some women that I wouldn't give you a plug nickle for and I have met a few that I would give the shirt off my back for. But I have only met one or two guys that I just plain wish I had never met. It takes an open mind to see that it is only friendships.

Hi Shy and welcome to my lot. I am a tom boy I had more brothers then sisters and so I learned things like working on vehicles, working in the yard and building models. Just stuff that you don't usually see a woman doing. I guess that is why I have always made friends with guys more then I did with women. I like being able to hang out and that be all there is too it just hanging out with the guys. That is how I learned to be a carpenter and I really like building things with my own hands.

and relationships do start from being friends..

Hi Tifychau and welcome to my lot. I knew I wasn't the only tomboy on here. I think it is cool the guys do some things that you just don't associate with women. Like building cars and construction. I like getting the rocks for our yard and building stuff.

Yeah I agree. Sometimes it's fun to just hang out with the guys and not worry about trying to look pretty with the girls. What I like to do with them is watch and play sports.

Hi Mr_Pearl. Your welcome. I just wanted to see if it what others tought. They had a short survey on TV the other day and it just didn't seem to go into all the things I thought should have been said. My husand and I wasn't looking for love when we found each other we became friends first. He is my best friend we know each others deepest secret. We share a lot of things in common right from the beginning.

Hi Celticeagle. Your right people have to have strong will and mind to stay just friends. Some do care more then others but maybe it is interpreted the wrong way and it really means just friends. It is healthy to have friends that you can talk to but never wise to talk about ones other partner and personal problems with anyone other your partner.

Hi Minapuspitarini. I have had many male friends and that is all there was too it we are friends. My best friend is my husband I trust him with anything and everything and he feels the same way I do. Our marriage was a fluke, we started off as work friends and then as friends and by Gods hands we were thrown together. We worked together and it was nothing but friends. We still hang out and work together and we are almost always together.

Hi Rorisricha. I find it easier to relate to men then women. I am a tomboy after all and I like working on cars and stuff that you don't normally see too many women doing. Or at least back in my younger days you didn't see many women that showed interest in the male field of work. I love it though and most guys I have met like that I don't ask them to fix things for me. I have met some guys that think women shouldn't do the kind of work I like to do. But the work is what keeps me strong and healthy. I think that is why God gave me the talents HE gave me.

Hi Jules. I think any friendship can withstand if they start off with respect towards each other.

Hi Sophie and welcome to my lot. I think that even if they have boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife they can still be friends you have to include your spouse in your personal life too. I have a real strong relationship with my husband he has female friends and I have guy friends. We hang out together most of the time but we still have our private time with our friends too. But most of the time it is at our home where we entertain friends.

Hi Kgirjapurkar and welcome to my lot. Why don't you think that we can all be friends? I have had many male friends in my life.

Hi Haniku and welcome to my lot. I love that show. I know it isn't real either but bet they are friends in real life too.

Hi Kquiming. Before my husband became my husband we started off right off the bat talking about anything and everything. We have always been real tight heck we now spend 24/7 with each other and we still find new things to discuss. There isn't anything that we don't know about each other. I know his deepest secret and he knows my deepest secret. We have always been tight right off the bat. I still have male friends from my youth and we can all sit around and chat about anything. I don't take friendship lightly that is more of an acquaintances. I think it all depends on the people too. But all the male friends I have made in my life knew it was just friendships and we always had a great time.

Hi Artsy. I think it is possible to be friends if you start it right off the bat talking and discussing the things that your not looking for. Or at least it always worked for me in my past friendships with guys. When my husband and I met it was work and that is all it was. I was married and he was just out of a relationship. My ex beat me up and my now husband stepped in and saved me from being killed. But that didn't cause the break up from my ex it was over him beating me everytime he turned around cause he was drunk. My now husband told him he couldn't beat on me anymore and left it at that. A month or so went by and I kept working cause my ex wouldn't work all he wanted to do was stay drunk. And one night after my birthday when I got home from work he had locked the door and put a couch in front of it. My now husband said I could come and stay with him and so I did. My husband now is my best friend.

Hi Pilson and welcome to my lot. I have always had male friends and it be nothing but friends. I think that friendships have to be earned and kept on a friendship basis. My husband that I have now became my friend and we work together. He never made a pass at me while I was with my ex and I never made a pass at him while I was with my ex. We just have so much in common and became buddies. We started off working doing odd jobs cause my ex wouldn't work so my friend (my new husband) had some work that he needed help with he asked my ex and my ex said I would be better at helping him. And so my now husband didn't want to do this but he needed help with a job and I needed money so we started working together. It was never anything but friends hanging out working together. But right after my birthday my ex started to beat on me and my friend stepped in and said it wasn't going to happen ever again. And I thank God for that. My ex locked me out and that is how I moved in with my now husband.
