Can men and women be friends?
Can men and women be friends?
This has been a question long asked by both men and women, can the opposite sex be just friends? Ask this question and you will get a lot of different responses as it was when we were talking about it with a bunch of my friends recently. You had the one side that said no, no way men and women can do it, there is always sex that comes in the way. Eventually you end up in bed together, or it's that the guy just wants to sleep with you and is being your friend for that reason.
Then there was the opposite group saying why not? I am, of course, in this group as I grew up mostly having male friends and since my divorce I have reconnected with most of them. I don't get it, why not? Maybe it's because I am an only child and always wanted to have brothers. Besides the fact that guy friends don't bring drama in your life, I can guarantee you will never have a catfight with them unless of course they are gay. No offense but most of my gay guy friends are the biggest drama queens, no pun intented.
I love my guy friends like they were truly my brothers, would I sleep with them? Yuck, no way! Would you sleep with your brother? Sexual attraction? No! Not for me, I am usually trying to hook them up with my girlfriends.
Look, I get it, a lot of people are very insecure and don't trust their partners, but seriously they need to get over it! If a person is going to cheat, they are going to cheat. It can be with their best friend, with the waitress down the street, with their assistant, if that's what they want to do, they will do it.
So my view is you have to trust your man or women until they give you reason not to.
I know that my guy friends have given me a lot in my life, they've given me advice, they taught me things, they've helped me out of binds, even pretended to be my date to get rid of creepers. I truly enjoy my guy friends and my world was not the same without them in it. For many years while I was married to the most insecure man on this planet I had to cut off my friendships with all of my guy friends. Hell, I was even stupid enough to cut my very best friend out of my life for him and he was gay! Duh, no threat there! Yet to him it obviously a big threat.
He had been my best friend since I was twelve and yet I was made to choose, but that would never happen again. I am secure in who I am and you better be too.
So today my friends, my advice to you is this, the one thing I've learned from all of this is that life is way too short. You need to have as many friends as possible, because they enrich your life. They make things fun, they have your back, they make each day that much brighter so don't limit yourself!! You can never have too many friends and don't worry about what others say, that's their insecurities because yes, men and women can only be friends.
