Why would you assume she is a control freak?

I believe men can be friends with women, but its always going to be a "When Harry met Sally" situation... Plain and simple!!!

Uh well looky thar! We have another shared in common thang... My son went and did the 'deed' and I too am a gramps. I have peter pan syndrome wicked bad, hence the younger feel to choices of wording. Motorcycle related things and just being wild, but in part this is due to be an long hair country boy, where running chainsaws shakes the crudlings in my arteries n' such to keep me thin and spry.

Out on the Lak du St Sacrement, Lake George to you, I can run with the 20 somethings in late October to re-fight the battles there from the French and Indian War, the youngun's complain about not keeping up with the old man I can't say any of this does my dammned eyes any good though.

I might not have asked for a earth tone, ifn' I knew that was a date either.. hmmm maybe you should go back to blazin hot pink

I am hitched to a NY gal, she comes from the northern tier out west.. Seems they all know all the words to all the songs if you all ask me..

While I will accept it is rarely successful - it's not always going to end up that way plain and simple and I can attest to that personally over many years.

Yup, me, too. Especially once you get out of your 20s.

Then men and women get over themselves, their hormones, and their gender and they can be friends with 'people.'

Men can be friends with women, but if that woman is remotely attractive then he has had sexual thoughts about her, he may not have acted out on those thoughts sexually but they are there. Single men fuh-ged-about-it, No single guy is gonna call a hot chick friend over to just watch the game if he doesnt have other motives in the back of his head...Even the ugly ones he will do the same with.....Married men...yeah right Why would a married man need to just hang out with a woman just as friends alone?? Its the way God made us..sooner or later sexual overtones will arise..the penis is his own entity people.....

Well, I believe this situation would NEVER EVER work for you because it appears you have a very narrow and immature viewpoint. So, in your case, you are probably correct and in many cases it is probably correct I won't dispute that. But you CANNOT speak for the entire populice in saying it's just 'as plain and simple as that'...period. You don't speak for everyone and certainly not for me and how could you possibly? It's unfortunate you will never be able to appreciate this kind of friendship.

Well, I have 20 years that says it can and does. It all depends on the people. And anything beyond that would feel like being with your brother or sister sexually...it just doesn't compute in the way you might think it does all the time.

They can be friends as long as he/she can be introduced to your spouse and there's nothing to hide. If they're meeting in discreet then it's a bad idea.
