Well it's called being gay for one. Yes I have female friends whom I do not want to fuck, but then I have some female friends that I really want to! It's very possible, but if they're hot... why?
This is pretty much what I was going to say.dwightsteel said:
I believe that any man and woman could conceivably end up together if a particular set of circumstances came about (the most obvious being "stranded on desert island together", or "last two people on earth"). This doesn't mean that platonic relationships are impossible - just that if the planets don't align, nothing will happen.
I feel your pain manicfoot. That's happened to me too. To this day I'm sometimes asked by friends whether she and I would ever hook up. I respond with "If the opportunity were ever to arise I hope I have the moral strength to say no." Or "No" if I'm not feeling chatty. Just forget it and move on.
I have many female friends who are "hot" who I have never had any arousing thoughts about. The only person that cannot comprehend this is my mother, so when referring to most of my friends I have to use their last names/nicknames.
Considering 51% of the population are female it is completely illogical to only see them in one light; potential partner.

I have to ask, how old are your friends OP? Because if they genuinely don't think it's possible to want to be just friends with someone of the opposite sex then I'm guessing they're about twelve.
Which is to say, yes, platonic relationships are completely possible and commonplace.

definitely possible, one of my best and oldest friends is a girl. i hardly ever see her anymore because she's gone to a different college but she came and visited us again recently and it was just like it always was. it's gotten to the point where i've known her for so long and been good friends for almost 6 years (which is a fair while when your 17) that the only way i can think of her is platonically.
Wow. Are your friends living in the 1800's?
The majority of my friends are male, I get on well with the because I have a manly sense of humour.
Most of them are taken, some are gay, one tried it on with me, so I grabbed his face and pushed it into a wall.
And the thought of doing anything with my male friends... *shudder*

Sure. last time I tried, though, it ended up as something non-platonic.
I didn't make the move, surprisingly. I banished those thoughts because she's out of my league. I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. Very happy atm

I think it's reasonable to guess that the majority of the people I've considered really good friends throughout my life have been female and, to be honest, I prefer it that way. I'd have to admit that two of them developed into further relationships, but that's still very much the minority.
I know what you mean, man. My best friend for my entire life was a girl, which got me alot of taunting in grade school.
Doesn't help that we now live together. Apparently two people of the opposite gender shacking up is just too close to be platonic.
Hell, my mother actually once said to me, "Why don't you marry her, you prick?!"
She was very drunk.

Most of my friends are girls and I don't want to have relationships like that with them. But judging by your friends reactions I'd assume you're pretty close with this girl, so even though its immature of them to act that way, I can understand where they're coming from (I've been in this situation myself).
pardon, but the implication of platonic love means that you can actually love the other person, but you just don't want to have sex with them. it's not about not feeling love or not seeing the other person as a partner - the other person is your partner, but at a "higher" stage of love. it's not just a friendship, it's a oneness with the other person; unlike many of you seem to think.
Apologies for misusing the word. I wasn't sure how else to word it... "Non-sexual friendship with the opposite sex" is a bit of a mouthfultheklng said:
If you hadn't noticed English isn't exactly my strong point.Oh and SmilingKitsune my friends are 24. I'm 22 in case you were wondering.
It's possible for other people but there's always awkward sexual tension between me and the opposite sex.
