I'm no Steve Harvey or anything, so I'm definitely not the expert on what kinds of friendships other people can have, but it stands to reason in my mind that asexuals are pretty much open season for friendships. You may want to have sex with them, but it isn't going to happen ... so all is good.

Steve Harvey is no expert. Not on successful relationships at least. IIRC, he's been married/divorced a number times. Although, we can review his advice and then do what he wouldn't do for better odds.

Luckily I don't have this problem...my male friends aren't interested in me. I'm plain looking, and my looks don't scream "girlfriend material". My best friend is male and he and I have been getting along w/o needing a relationship for over 4 years now.

You better cut that out, MA .. Steve Harvey has just decreed that you and your supposed friend can't hang out anymore.

I have several male friends and my husband has several female friends. I guess we are in the 85% that can be friends with the opposite sex without problems.

I can be friends with women whom I have no attraction to, but if I am attracted....well, you know.

Agree with ^... And if you are quite attracted..why would you desire to just pursue just a friendship...Steve Harvey's thoughts on the issue totally make sense..
