poll: do you think that guys and girls can be "just friends"?

every guy I've ever asked has said no

every girl I've ever asked has said yes~

now get this:

girls think that guys are friends with them, while guys like them and they're simply too shy to ask them out and these girls do not find them attractive.

also:

I put it to every male on this website that every girl you think in your mind is "just a friend", is actually a girl you want to ****, and I put it to every female on this website, equally so, that if you asked a male "just friend" whether he would ever be okay with going out with you, he will explode with his secretly held opinion of "yes"

be completely dead-honest, girls - do you think that your male "just friends" would ever want to go out with you? you know they do, so your friendship with them is a one-sided friendship, because men can't be friends with girls because the attraction they get for guys (e.g. friendship) is different to the attraction they get for girls (romance). the only exception would be family.

Update:

also, say whether you're a male or a female when answering so we can see the huge degree of polarity between men and women's opinions

Update 2:

@brandon: I think you're delusional

    I'm gunna keep this simple.

    If you're fat or ugly or both... I could just be friends.

    Any other women that don't fit the Ugly, FAT, or Both criteria are subject to get The shaft. Friend or stranger.

    Hell, even enemy.

    Yeah, I believe some of my male friends would want to bang. But no matter what delusions they have, it doesn't change the fact that our relationship is platonic.

    You can be attracted to someone and still be just friends.

    I would say without any attraction, yes. If there is any a little bit of feeling or attraction, it can be developed more than friends later on.

    Definitely. I'm a guy, and I'm friends with/have been friends with numerous girls. It's possible for guys & girls to be friends with each other, while not developing feelings for each other.
