It's a common belief in our society that between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is love, passion, jelousy & desire but no friendship but is it true? Personally, I think friendship does exist. Strangely enough, I found that making friends with the opposite gender has been a lot easier in many situations. Nowadays men and women are interacting very actively at work. They have common hobbies. So naturally, they share common interests and communicate. The key to a successful friendship is to establish boundaries. There's always a line that shouldn't be crossed to keep the friendship alive.
What's your opinion?
It is true there is friendship ^^ I totally agree.
ReplyDeleteDefine Friendship!
ReplyDeleteto me, A friend is someone who's faithful, reliable, enduring, needed, always in touch
it's not just someone whom you hang out with
it's waaay beyond that
A friend is someone who cares enough about you to listen to your struggles
A friend is someone upholds you through tough times
A friend is someone you can be yourself with
A friend is someone who loves you no matter what happens
I find it pretty hard to share such relationship with a guy without falling for him.
on a superficial level, yes !!!men and women can be friends.they can hang out together, they can talk, work, laugh together!
but they can never be 'good' friends, 'cause love always comes in the way , it could be one sided, it could be from both sides.
when you share a 'true' friendship with a guy, you'll find it so hard to put your emotions on a side especially if you 'click' well with that particular 'friend'
been there, done that, we're lovers now !

madree i think it's possible for a man and a women to have a normal friendship!!
ReplyDeleteI believe in that. I have lots of male friends from school and college, and I wouldn't trade them for the world. Some are even better than some of my girlfriends.
ReplyDeleteyeah so true..but we tend to cross tht...nature u see....
ReplyDeleteI'm 1000000000% with Anonymous! totally true
ReplyDeletena9'areyan.. i think it's possible.
ReplyDeletebs when i come across reality.. hmmm madrii!
i'm kind of m3a el kalam el maktob foqii, el comment elii mn Anonymous.
the best friendships between a guy and a girl is when one of the sides is in love with the other one
ReplyDeleteits unfortunate but its true - spoken from experience
i was going to say yes, but when i read anonymous comment it really made sense, someone will end up falling for the other
ReplyDeletedepends on the person...
ReplyDeleteif s/he doesn't believe it exists it never will... for them :)
in my opinion is that no matter how strictly you have put the boundaries between this friendship it will somehow and someway will collapse and there would be no boundaries!! so better not start it then regretting it!! right??!!
ReplyDeleteالصداقة بين الجنسين ممكنة و جميلة جدا
ReplyDeleteلكنها ممكن ان تتطور بسهولة الى صداقة + تحت بعض الظروف
و السؤال هو هل يستطيعون العودة الى ما قبل ال + ام لا؟
Ofcourse friendship exists as long as it's based on mutual respect between the two sides it shall flourish througholy !
ReplyDeleteThe day that respect breaks , the friendship shall go down along..
yeah i agree with anon.. feelings do get in the wayif its a very close friendship.. but casual friends it can be.. remember kuch kuch hota hai? lol Rahul was in love and he didn't realize it until its late and Anjali also didn't know before he was all gaga over tina.. that is, if you have seen the film loooooool..
ReplyDeletei think it's possible only if there is no physical attraction between them
ReplyDeleteits only possible if both of them accept it to be friendship and just that.. sometimes things get confused and lined blur.. more so over here than abroad x
ReplyDeletethe best friendships are with opposite genders
ReplyDelete7ady i agree;P
I think it is possible if they both accept to be friends :)
ReplyDeleteakeeeed i believe in it 100 percent
ReplyDeleteall the guys im friends with are the ones i went to school with
so i grew up with them. they are exactly like my brothers
bs i got older, i found it harder to make friends with the opposite sex
It's easier to befriend someone of the opposite sex because once that happens, they become brothers to you unlike female friends. But it's also harder in our society because if you're young, your parents worry about having male friends and when you're married, most husbands prefer their wives not having male friends. But all in all, it's really easy to be friends with guys!
ReplyDeletehmmmm i think it's possible , but here someone will fall in love akeed
ReplyDeleteumm, here ? in kuwait ? friendship between man and o woman ? well, im not willing to say its impossible
ReplyDeleteits possible, ya3ni baina o bainha, bs do u think that our society will accept it, man and a women showing up in public as friends ?
hell NO !!
if u have a guy friend, would u talk about him in front of brother mathalan ! i dont think so
im not talking about coworkers or classmates
hathol 3adi :p
bs friends ? i mean real friends ?
u cant establish such a friendship in here ;\ unless ur keeping it to urself
aham shay il boundries.. this is the key point to the friendship between the two genders.
ReplyDeleteYes, yes, yes, yes and it can be a very great one! My best friend is a male, actually he is my soulmate!
ReplyDeleteGirl, I have missed ya! You went private for a while and have been missed a looooooooooooooot!

سؤال مهم في زمن مثل هذا
تحياتي للجميع
:)
eeh I agree with u:) my best friend is a guy ow we both know our boundaries.
ReplyDeleteI don't get one thing why are they mixing a male friend here with brother???
ReplyDeletewhy do i get the feeling that some one has crossed the line already ???
ReplyDeleteYou are not gonna like my answer so ... no comments !
ReplyDeletea good guy friend is like a brother. You can be friends for years and years and years and never cross the line. You can even feel attraction, and it comes and goes, and you never cross the line. If a guy is your good friend, you have to be able to take the truth - they don't sugar coat things, they just tell it as they see it.
ReplyDeleteyou know, I was discussing this with my friend 2 weeks ago. Look its possible but you can't be sure how this will end up. Especially in(Saudi Arabia) Its not allowed to the girls even to look or smile to a boy even If she doesn't mean anything. Most of the work places have separate departments for (Men) and (women). The interaction between both of them in our society is TABOO and people think of those girl who work with men that they're shameless and immodest. Above all, Its not allowed in ISLAM to have this friendship with boys so before having our society boundaries or putting boundaries with boys we should'nt cross the boundaries of our religion :)
ReplyDeleteIts just my point of view
أفضل صداقة بين الرجل والمرأة لأنها تلبي النقص في كل الشخصيتين وما تحتاجه في الصديق هو أن يسد نقصك ويقف بجانبك ويعطيك من الحب والاهتمام ما تغذي به روحك
ReplyDeleteشكرا على اتاحه الفرصة للمناقشة
ماشالله افكار متنوعه
