Thoughts on this guys... do you think men and women can be best friends and really be platonic? or will someone always end up catching feelings?

I wouldn't be happy that they had a best friend of the opposite sex, but it also wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I would be very happy if my partner had a best friend of the opposite sex. I wouldn’t ever want to limit my partner from connecting with other people, and I don’t want to be the only close person in their life.
Ideally I’d make them my friend too and team up with them to do nice things for my partner

Not at all to be honest.
People can have platonic relationships with the opposite sex but I wouldn't be relaxed or happy if they were his best friend.

I wouldn't care less to be honest, my own best friend is male and seeing as I'm bi I know that people aren't just attracted to any friend they have the possibility of being attracted to, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make a single friend. If I was policing my partner's friendships that would feel overly controlling even if it didn't involve a double standard.

Yes because I'm not possessive, controlling or insecure.

I think you're all lying to be honest. Especially those of you are so adamant on 'not caring less'

If you cant even handle your partner having friends, you shouldnt be in a relationship.

I think you'd be a bit weird if you can't have a platonic relationship with the other sex, things arent that deep

Not one second would I have an issue with it, 99.99% of people are talk to are girls so if my girlfriend had a problem with me talking to them then she would not longer be my girlfriend.
I naturally get more along with girls than guys and although I will admit in the past I have had feelings for one of those friends, the vast majority I don't and we have in fact mutually 'freindzoned' each other. As long as boundaries are clear in a relationship/friendship then there is literally no problem with both sexes becoming friends. If anything it's extremely healthy to get someone's view point outside of the 'bubble of masculinity'.
It's all about trust at the end of the day if they just say they are a friend then believe them or not, but not believing them indicates something wrong with the relationship and perhaps you two aren't meant to be together.

I'd not be happy nor sad, it is what it is. If she wants to cheat on me, she can do so with any man it doesn't have to be a friend. I don't care if her best mate is a guy. I'd rather I was her best mate though.
