I have several male friends with no strings attached. And absoluetly no action is going on. I love knowing that they are there if I need help with something, if I have problem, a male to talk to or get advice from, or if I just want to take a roadtrip and want someone along for safety. Believe it or not my two closest friends are guys and neither of them is gay. The biggest problem that I have encountered is jealousy when they have a girlfriend or wife that is insecure. I would love to just tell the females that have a problem with male/female friendships "I am sorry that you are so insecure with yourself and your relationship."
