Can Men Really Be "Just Friends" with Women?

We questioned 13 real men and women to get their candid opinion.

It's that age-old question: can men really be just friends with women? What happens when platonic turns to perverse?

We questioned 13 men and women of all ages and backgrounds to get their take on whether guys can really have a relationship with a girl, that doesn't involve sex.

1. Dr. Soroya Bacchus, 51

"While men and women can be friends, it is difficult for the relationship to be entirely platonic. Our genetics simply drive our attraction to the opposite sex! The likelihood that at least one party is drawn to the other sexually is very high, regardless of whether or not anything ever comes of it. This is the reason jealousy and infidelity exists; we are not wired to be a monogamous species."

Dr. Soroya Bacchus, 51, Psychiatrist
