Thank you, I was starting to get worried since everyone else seems to be either in full agreeance to the OP or at least saying "meh, maybe, w/e" as if it would be a novel concept. Even when I was in highschool all hopped up on teenage angst and hormones, I still had 100% platonic friendships with women who, yes were conventionally attractive, but that was ultimately irrelevant to our friendship. And no, I didn't "want" to fuck them, nor would I have tried in all likelihood. Nothing wrong with just having friends.

Same here. My 2 best friends are women and my wife's best friend is a man. For me saying a man and a woman can't be friends is ridiculous. My besties are like sisters to me. The thought of a romantic relationship with either of them makes me uncomfortable.
