I don't know if you have discussed this topic earlier here. If yes, But I still would like to hear the different opinions from all of you here..I just get confused by this sometimes.I personal think it is possible for men and women just being friends...but the real friendship seldom appears.. or hard to last long...right ?
I think they would have to be two very amazing people to stay only friends. Mother Nature has a way of taking over at some point during these "friendships" and one or the other friend will develop a crush on the other...
being close friends give you ample opportunities to "accidently" to end up in the same bed, it may be a bad break-up, it may be a horrible day at work, it may simply be a few more beers that you usually drink. Humans are animals, we are genetically programmed that way. There might be "real" friendship between men and women, but the friendship is very very fragile and the odds for them to remain friends is negatively correlated with the length of their friendship. The reason is simple: sex kills friendship, being close friends just make an accidental hookup so much easier.
One major issue is that the significant others \ spouses may not like it that their spouse is going over to their "friends" house to hang out for a 1/2 day or go do a lot of activities with them.
I personally have never had a REALLY strong friendship with someone from the other sex except for with family members.
I think that there can be a real friendship between males and females.
But I also think that the possiblity of them keeping things platonic is slim especially if they are close (best) friends. I think at one point during that relationship something happened. And they either ended up a couple, the sexual tension/curiosity (whatever) is gone and they remain friends or it ruined things. But regardless something happens.

I used to be in denial about this in the past, but I'm afraid you're right...
My ex and I are very good friends. I guess it helps that we have no physical attraction for each other (thus the end of the marriage) but we are simply friends.
