Hi Kevin
How refreshing to hear of a man who wants pure friendship with a woman. It seems that sex always has to get in the way one way or another. I have friends who are male, but they are either alone or gay and therefore no-one else gets the jitters about it. I tend to get on really well with men, but the ones that I meet in person (other than the ones I've already mentioned) always seem to get hooked up on the sex thing, or want the relationship to go further than I do. Is something wrong with me to want friends of both sexes?

i have had lots of female friends over the years. just have to know where each other is coming from. the internet makes it easy to meet new people and it is fun. if you are honest and not hiding things you can learn alot and make some deep friendships. if in doubt spell out what you want and do not want. i am married and intend to stay that way but also like friends and so far that has happened and my wife is fine with it. she trusts me! if she didn't i would not do it.

Some input from the other side...I have male friends and tend to get along with them better than my female friends. Women can be so catty sometimes. I've found that men are much more direct and easier to talk to. I haven't had sex with my males friends so...yes, there can be a friendship between male and female without "sex" being an operative word.
I don't think you should keep your thoughts to yourself. Don't let society dictate your right to voice your beliefs. Let them "whisper" you're the one that has a healthy attitude.

No replies, huh? I have lots of female friends, and believe me, we're not all having sex, either. It's true, Kevin. As a general rule, it seems like women are easier to talk to.

All I want is a friend, but a female one and as soon as I say that I hear the whispers, yeah yeah, I bet you more than just a friend. But that is a very sad reaction from todays society, what is wrong with wanting a friend of the oposite sex.
I have a wife, but the things I would like to talk to a famle friend about are things that a male friend just wouldn't understand. But a female friend, being independant could give opinions or suggestions that would not otherwise come from someone you were having a relationship with.
But try as I might, I can't seem to find a female friend without them or someone thinking that I want more than that.
So unless someone can reasure me that there is still some sense left in this world, it looks as though I will have to keep all my thoughts to myself.
Kevin
