Can men and women "just be friends" or are we simply advanced biological Lego blocks that inevitable want to be clicked together? To bond in one form or another.
Can two people of equal looks be friends or can it only remain a friendship if one is out of the other's league ? Should you be concerned if your hot girlfriend is friends with that nerd down the street who rides his Pee-wee Herman style bike everywhere and still lives with his mom, or more so about the neighbour who mows his lawn without a shirt and looks like Brad Pitt ?
Is it possible for a man and a woman to be friends and there be no physical or emotional attraction ? Will the relationship always be marred by sexual tension ?
The truth is I don't know.
I personally believe the key to whether this is possibly comes from a persons understanding of what friendship means. Once you understand and appreciate the meaning of friendship and how rewarding a good friendship can (and should) be, then you can be a friend to anyone regardless of gender, race, age, social status, or sexuality.
I believe I have the ability to be a good friend to both men and women alike and that I am the type of friend that a friend is glad to have.
But, I've been wrong before :)
Interestingly, I found this article from Psychology Today that addresses this same question.
