Do you think there is pure friendship between men and women?

[LearningToLearn]

Definitely, I believe that pure friendship between men and women exists. Friendship is a simple and pure thought that is independent of gender. Personally, I have experienced such a relationship. From my personal experience, it is nothing but deep genuine care about the other person that makes up a pure friendship and it has nothing do to with the gender of the persons involved.

I think it can be or not. When I was younger, I only thought there is pure friendship between men and women. Because I hung out with men, we were just friends with friendship not love. But I realized that between men and women the pure friendship can be to love. While spending time together much or sharing experience, another emotion can happen.

I think the possibility is there but it is not usually achieved. The key is honesty. Not honesty about regular things like, "How do you like my hair?" but deep honesty like how you are feeling and if your emotions change. This is hard to do for most people and that is why pure friendship between men and women can happen but usually doesn't.

It is very hard question but I think yes. There is pure friendship between men and women.
In most cases it is very hard to do because one of them usually fall in love. Close contact between men and women often ends with some kinds of love. But I know that is possible to have very good friend as a men or women and it is only friendship.

Why do you think that a man and a woman falling in love is not a pure friendship? Lovers can be good friends too, right?

[Jaekyoung]

it depends. I am not sure, maybe halfway.

I also think it depends. If they know each other well, they may fall in love before they are realized. In my experience, I usually hang out with men as friends. But the relationship might be changed. It’s quite hard to say pure friendship exists with 100%.

I think there is such a thing pure friendship between men and women. further more I think it's important to have friends from the other gender. In my opinion it's makes you grow and learn things as a person. I specifically have a few men pure friends and glad for that.

I had a female Canadian friend who lived in the apartment below mine and worked in the same English academy as I did for almost a year. We went out a lot and anybody who saw us might've assumed we were dating, and though we were both straight nothing romantic or sexual ever happened nor was there ever any hint that either of us were expecting that. We had great times just talking, laughing, and wandering around the city.
So I know it is possible to have a friendship between a man and a woman, I'm glad that I've had at least one.
