Women and Men can be good friends with no sexual interest in the equation. Yes or No? Discuss.
"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

I should probably clarify. Yes, attractive women. Someone you would be enthusiastic about going places/doing things with.Originally posted by DJ24SEVEN
Shouldn't you say "attractive" women? Cause I was friends with plenty of 5s abd below.

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"
When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.
Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.
Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.
The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

I voted yes. As long as both sides have balanced lives (both are seeing people, having enough sex, etc), it's easy to maintain a friendship. If one side is unbalanced however (usually the guy) then you have a flawed friendship where one person wants more and the other one wants status quo.

I agree with mindovermatter.
However if you have sex with someone..or date them for a short period.
and mutually lose that attraction for each other..and you have a fun time together..then you can be friends.
thats probably one of the best friends you will ever make..because it would keep you from being AFC with other women.
