Its possible for men and women to be friends. Its not possible for them to be friends completely free of sexual attraction. This is even true of one person is gay. Most women lust for their gay male friends.
This is why gay men and lesbians don't become friends.
The vast majority of men are sexually attracted to their female friends and would sleep with them if the woman came on to them. The vast majority of men are only friends with women they have some level of sexual attraction for. In the cases where the man has no attraction, the woman usually does. Her attraction for him makes her chase him and serve him and this is the only reason the man associates with her.
There is no true friendship between men and women. One side always has some level of attraction.
Eh, over the years I've had many guy friends... the ones who have disappeared I suspected were in it for something else (a few I know were, as when they got drunk their true feelings appeared) and a few are really just friends, I don't believe there has been sexual attraction..... and I have never been attracted to them.
I'm not sure. I used to say yes but then all of my male friends would try to cross a line which is a problem since I'm married.
That tends to be exactly what makes people think men and women can not be just friends. They can think of some examples where one or more people failed - and extrapolate from that that it is not possible.
Are there people who attempted to be "just friends" and failed? Yes. Absolutely. Lots of them.
Does this mean therefore that it is no possible? No - of course not. Many people do it - and do it perfectly well. Myself included.

Similarly to above I think you are over extrapolating from one anecdote. Could -you- do it? You claim not. does that mean men and women can't do it in general? No. It does not. Many of us have absolutely no issue with remaining "just friends" with other people - regardless of how physically attractive we personally subjectively measure them to be or not be.
Do you think it's possible that a man and woman can be platonic friends and nothing will become serious later on?
Yes, but its completely dependent on both the woman and man not viewing the relationship as anything more right at the beginning. I think its perfectly OK, but if one of the two (usually the dude) has any feelings, it just will never quite work out. I have one really close girl friend and we both just see each other almost like a sibling, so once that line has been strongly drawn, the friendship will be just fine.

In theory yes. But it hasn't been my experience.
Many men have played white knight in my life. LOL online offline
Moment they found out I am in a relationship with somebody else, they started to ignore me, being nasty to me, or disappear on me. But I do have a lot of guy friends in real life who care about me. They are all married or are in serious relationships themselves.
So yes, it is possible to be friends. Women should avoid the so called "nice guys". Then problem solved.

So you believe if you offered sex they would turn it down?
This is always the question of TRUTH women never want to ask themselves.
