There's a pretty funny YouTube video about it. The answer is no. Girls can tend to be friends with guys without ulterior motives but most of the time guys can't. Sure some of us have a few chick friends we would never look at that way but most of the chick friends we do have tend to either be our type atleast physically. Though sometimes you just become decent friends with acquaintances.

obviously they can...i think what you mean is can they be friends without one liking the other at some point? And the answer to that is no. At least not if both are straight.

I think girls can be just friends with guys... Just not the other way round. If the girl offered it on a plate to the guy, you know he's saying yes.
Yes girls and guys can be friends. It also depends on definition of "friends". Yes girls and guys generally form friendships on ulterior attractiveness even if its platonic (so what, I don't think that has to be a "taboo" unspoken thing) Yes its about BOUNDARIES.
Womenhood is about being EVERYTHING. The sun, moon, stars, the earth, angels, fairies, queens, princesses, GODDESSES. Then being LIKE MEN in what they do. Manhood is about what you SHOULDT do. Or its men ONLY do this/that and thats IT. Women, its there's nothing we CANT do. Men its there's things we SHOULDN'T do. Thats a stupid paradigm. As a society maybe we have to STOP listening to WOMEN define MANHOOD for men Cuz it shouldnt be tough to be a man.
Like **** friends, yes. Platonic friends, no. From my personal experience if the girl is attractive, you'd want to get with her. If you don't find her attractive (ugly) then you wouldn't want to be friends with her anyway, at least not that close. My uglier female friends usually annoy me. It's like, why is she so close? Sometimes there are the funny ugly chicks, but even then, you can only hang around them so much.
