Would you spend time with someone of the opposite gender socially if they told you they were not interested in anything intimate?
Why or why not? |

Absolutely. After all, a friend is a friend regardless of gender.

It depends on whether it was mutually fun and also whether sex reared its ugly head. As it were. But if they are fun and I'm happy about it, of course.

Absolutely.
I have 2 male friends like that. Both are my age...single..and have (according to them for the past several years) given up on sex and ever meeting anyone.. You can call that bulls**t if you want, I really don't care. You don't know them. We're like brother & sister. |

Others here have said it very well... but yes, I would spend time with someone of the gender if they were not interested in anything intimate! There is so much more to male and female besides sex, and it is nice not to feel pressured to make that commitment and simply enjoy being together doing things or just relaxing and taking it easy with a friend. :)

Of course. As long as the setting is clear for both of us. It happened to me. I met a nice woman at work. We realized it will work well. But we did know its not about love. So we made this clear in the beginning. Now we have a close but distant relationship. Of course we will not have lots of privat times like going on holiday. That makes not sense.

Would you spend time with someone of the opposite gender socially if they told you they were not interested in anything intimate? Why or why not? Of course...but here's the thing: I meet many women and at no time is an explicit declaration of sexual interest required or requested...nor is that necessary unless i am behaving like a horny hound... there is such a thing as body language among other nonverbal forms of communication... btw, flirting does not automatically mean intimacy is desired or rquested... |

Would you spend time with someone of the opposite gender socially if they told you they were not interested in anything intimate? Why or why not? Depends on how he says it, and whether or not I'm interested in an intimate relationship with him. Like TxsGal, I tend to get along better with men, less drama. I've had a couple men tell me that there just wasn't that special spark... no chemistry, and I've told a few the same. When the feeling was mutual, a very dear friendship was created and it was like being brother and sister. The one's where the feeling wasn't mutual... either he or I wanted more, the friendship eventually ended. |

I'm good spending time and talking with men not interested in me. It's refreshing. I think we talk about different things.

Definitely. I was for a period denied non-sexual contact with women and it only made me hungrier. It's hard to see the world through another's eyes, but strong friendships foster that.

Sure! Some of my oldest and best friends are women; some I've known since high school (class of '74) others for 30 or 40 years. Some I've had sex with some I haven't.
I think if you're a man and can't have female friends you might be what women call "a real creep"! |

I think if you're a man and can't have female friends you might be what women call "a real creep"! Yes, at least that's how I would feel. Most want to be seen for more than their body, and I'm sure men want the same, at least most of them, haha. One of the blessings in having a male friend is having the opportunity to understand more how men think. We think and feel differently. If not for my male friends, I would have continued to mistakenly believe they had the same kind of thoughts and feelings as I do, as a woman. |

Absolutely ! I had a couple of guy friends in college & it was great! It really helped me to understand men since I grew up in a family that was predominately woman.

It seems that most people are comfortable with that platonic social relationship. When you are out socially with one of these platonic friends, do people treat you as a connected couple? Is there an assumption about your relationship?

Is there an assumption about your relationship? Yes, I've been mistaken to be my friend's partner and even wife! We just laugh it off and say we're just good friends. Neither of us are offended. |
