  • i agree that it is RARE to have a friend of the opposite sex that you are not attracted to, but it is possible if the guy is not a dog. i have a guy friend who has NEVER hit on me (and i am single A LOT)- i always stay at his place when i am in his town. he is now married, and we remain friends. i've even stayed at his place during his engagement. we aren't attracted to each other, so there was no issue, and the wife was never jealous bc she is a confident woman. (and no, i am not ugly)

  • true

  • Steve speaks THE TRUTH, nothing sexist about what he said.

    Women don't want to hear it because a female friendship only life sounds kinda bleak. Women can be catty and envious towards each other.

  • I have a lot of ugly female friends... i'd never bang them.  What are they?!

  • what a fucking sexist dumbass, fuck steve harvey

  • @ducky138 he's right though. I have a bestfriend and I'm not anything more with her because of her. If it were up to me I'd be dating her.

  • I think men can be friends with women and those women are relatives.

  • this man speaks truth.

  • They can, if they have no sexual attraction to each other.

  • @barber747 - The woman may not have a sexual attraction to the man, but the man will still be tempted to bang the woman, even if she's ugly because he knows he can. It's harder for men to get sex than women which is why women are judged for sleeping around and men aren't judged as harshly for doing the same thing. but that's cause people know for a woman to sleep around is a woman doing something she's able to easily do, but sleeping around for a man requires skill, a man's gonna take a hookup

  • I agree 100%

  • 10 people are trying to get with their female friends right now.

  • I don't have female friends either. Not my thing. I don't mind having casual acquaintances, but I'm definitely not the type who gets together for lunch or talk to them on the phone late at night & bitch about their boyfriends and/or ex boyfriends...

    You're WAY more likely to get laid by telling yourself, "I don't give a shit..."

  • Comment removed

  • The only guys who disagree with Steve Harvey on this topic are total simps. Men and women can't just be friends there's always sexual tension. Most guys pretend to be friends with so they can hopefully get laid real talk.

  • Steve Harvey is exaggerating. Not true all the time. What about a female friend that you don't find sexually attractive than? Because of this type of thinking is what causes many people exp. men and women to become so falsely divided from one another.

  • i believe this. steve is not lying. why can't women understand that? we dislike each other, but chase males for friendship when men(for the most part) just wanna get laid.  we need to get our heads out of our ass and see things as they are.

  • and the same goes for men, if a guy is very attractive and a woman is spending time with him, friendship is definitely not going to be on her mind

  • LOL let's be honest, if a woman is beautiful and a guy is hanging around her, there is no way that man is going to want to be just her friend without anything sexual or romantic involved.

  • @thickjai18 Unless he's a fag.

  • @KleWdSide LOL

  • He said that HE is incapable of having a female friend. I do not think that holds true for many men, including me. He is right about the fact that men can play that role as "just friend" because the woman wont allow anything more but by him being a married man, maybe it's him being afraid or too undisciplined to call a woman "friend". I dont know, just speculating.

  • he's right

  • Steve Harvey has a valid point, Men and women can be friends to a certan extent. Us men are predactors, waiting for an opportunity for a woman to messed up to take advantage of the opportunity. You're friends with this woman to a certan extent, till the opportunity comes so you can get in the picture..

  • "Slide in that crack."

  • Steve Harvey is a Douche.

  • @desrt100 you may as well be pissed then

  • LMFAO...I REST MY CASE

  • @NatTurnerIsAlive The purpose of life is to get ahead. Everything you do is for YOU. Even CHARITY. You are aware from the get go that it makes YOU feel like a good person at the end of the day. That's life.

  • @NatTurnerIsAlive HAHAH!! Your either gay or a women!!

  • Steve Harvey can't control his dick.

  • The ones that are posting hateful comment are probably guilty of this. LMAO

  • not 99.9% maybe 90%, it is VERY to just be friends with a chick, unless u like grew up with them. lol the question is how many men have female friends that they are attracted to. There is no way friendship will work, ESPECIALLY if one of u are dating someone. Insecurities will arise. Hmm i seem to fuck all my female friends. IF A GUY IS TRULY JUS A FRIEND TO A WOMAN HE'S JUS NOT ATTRACTED TO HER, BUT HE ENJOYS HER COMPANY, plain and simple. But it crosses BOTH minds at least once

  • i have tons of female friends and im a man

  • Fuck Steve Harvey.

  • women wouldn't complain about the friend zone if this was true. I have asked that and got a big NO... I only see you as a friend.

  • Survey says....

  • you are absolutly right lol even thou lots ppl act like they dnt agree with you but its a fact ,,theres no femal/male friends w/out some hiden lustful wishes ,,women seems to enjoy the attention of been wanted but not acting on it

  • i don't think he means just any woman. i think he means a man can't be "just friends" with an attractive woman or a woman he's attracted to.

  • I have have been JUST FRIENDS with guys. It is possible

  • CoughBulshitClearsthroat

  • Comment removed

  • I Don't like em', but I have 2 admit he's right about this 1. lol

  • Right on the dot steve.Right on.

  • harvey's point is true to a certain extent. If a straight man is SINGLE, with a hot female "friend,"and an opportunity for sex presents itself...hell he's in there like swimwear baby regardless if it jeopardizes the friendship or not. However if the female friend is ugly, or fat, then he wont fuck her trust me unless hes absolutely desperate.

  • its true dont lie to yourself

  • no!

  • FUCK STEVE HARVEY!!!FREE EARL!!!!!

  • He's right. There is no such thing as man and woman being just friends. at some point, one is gonna think something about the other romantically and once it comes out, that's where the friendship ends. Whenever a woman says she has alot of male friends, watch out, cuz if u try to get with her, one of her "male friends" gonna try to intervene. it never fails. So steve is absolutely right. if anyone says anything differently, it's a lie.

  • Steve is right! but to an extent. I can be friends with an unattractive woman but I would find it extremely difficult to be friends with an attractive woman. This is not a predatorial instinct. This is just natural male instinct or chemistry. I love beautiful woman hands down. The only thing I've found about most beautiful woman, they're extremely audacious and vain. Don't get me wrong, I love a self-confident woman but believe me, I can easily differentiate between the two.

  • Now we know why Steve doesn't have female friends....because he will fuck em..lol

  • Well according to Steve Harvey's own wife, he certainly became more than a friend to another woman. So he was a dog who can't handle being in the company of women for his own reasons.

  • I wouldnt say 99.9% I would say its more like 75%

  • @NatTurnerIsAlive very few

  • side note: i am so glad he stopped wearing that fake ass wig that was not fooling anyone

  • Its true we cant be friends with femaless..only on bed tho

  • For the most part- men and women really can' be friends without one or the other falling for each other.

    Even in Hollywood there has NEVER(at least not that I have seen) been a movie were the two main characters have stayed friends... anyone remember the movie "Just Friends?"

    sure you may find an exception but for the most part this is so true... so instead of denying it why not work on building a strong brotherhood or sisterhood?

  • I agree with harvey..I love women to death, but I can't keep em as friends. Being married or not.

  • If that chick is dirt ugly, hell yeah we can be friends. But if she is attractive in any way. Then Nope, we can't be friends. Most of my female friends are chicks I would never smash even if they threw it at me because I don't wanna fuck em' as a result of them being ugly. Real Talk. Can any man just befriends with Halley Berry. No. Can any many befriends with that girl that starred in "Precious", yep.

  • @laurabellacompany I have turned Down female friends, but I wold think about Sex even if it never happened!

    Relationship and sex are different and a game changer I know But I AM A MAN!

  • Sounds like a predatory mental state void of morals, values and boundaries. Depravity :(

  • Comment removed

  • @NatTurnerIsAlive that's why he said 99.9% of men think that way

  • WHAT IF SHE FAT? DOES THAT CHANGE THINGS

  • @oohkillertofu yes haha!

  • @oohkillertofu FAt chicks can be friends with guys, because most men find fat chicks unattractive....this applies only to the slim, and shapely beautiful women.

  • @oohkillertofu if she is biologically born a woman than it will stay true no matter the physic, opportunity is opportunity. Also it heavily depends if you are attracted to her or not, if you aren't then in the friend zone they go i guess.

  • @oohkillertofu  he said a beautiful woman, which may imply a slim and sexy lady.

  • so does this also apply to unattractive females or even fat chicks that have male friends?

  • SHUT UP STEVE!!! YOU'RE RUINING IT FOR EVERYONE!!!!!

  • @MikeDynamo

    lol

  • the 3 who dislike this thread have girls that are fucking male friends or are women that are fucking their male friends

  • @NatTurnerIsAlive - wow! another person who thinks they make a point by being the 0.01% of guys. you're the "i have female friends who i'm not........" this proves no point. what harvey said is the truth concerning the overwelming majority of men, not the exception to the rule which is you and the few like you. you should learn sociobiology 101 and fragile masculinity 101. maybe you'll learn something..... or i'll make it easier for you, allow your wife to befriend guys and just wait and see

  • real talk

  • totally stolen from Chris Rock

  • @thescrounger1 -

    Re: "totally stolen from Chris Rock"

    Yeah... which he'd "totally stolen from Tom Leykis"!

  • @KidBrotherIsWatching

    umm, who? whatever ...

  • @thescrounger1 def not stolen, so many other dudes said this steve and chris aint the first, eddie murphy martin lawerence etc talked about this, shit even patrice oneal had a talk show all about this

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think this guy is living in 2010.

  • love the guy...but he is the reason that women are cynical. 99.9% of my friends are girls, im a straight man with a happy girlfriend. Point disproven

  • @werdchester you either fucked one of them or you secretly are in the closet pal

  • @werdchester Disagree...Most men who have female friends want to bang them if the opportunity arises.

  • @tom11zz884 dudes in the closet i think

  • @werdchester You right man. If a man is a male chauvinist and does not believe women are equal to him then this is true in his eyes. This refutes a lot of the material in his book. Why would you empower someone who can not be a friend to you?

  • @werdchester Well, in order to have 99.9%, you must have A LOT of friends.

  • @werdchester same

  • Speak for yourself, Mr. Harvey. I have plenty of platonic female friends. I count myself in that 0.01%. Yes I have female friends who are the result of their rejection of anything more between us, some of whom I'm still feeling, but there are also women who I really just see as a friend for one reason or another.

  • give it 2'em str8 STEVE!!!!!!

  • i agree with steve 100% from my own experience and all the experiences and opinions of every guy i personally know. NEVER. not once have i had a female "friend" who my ultimate goal wasnt to run up in her. yes i would listen to her, entertain her, be a shoulder to lean on, i would make our friendship seem 100% genuine but it was nothing but smoke and mirrors. the moment i had the chance rather she was drunk or her bf hurt her, i'd throw the "frienship" in the trash for 10 mins of her pussy

  • I think if you were in a relationship with a female, and you guys broke up..you definitely should not still be freinds with her if you are in a new relationship.

    So i get what Steve is saying.

  • @tom11zz884 that has nothing to do with what steve is saying.

  • @MidnightRayn

    in substance it does..because ultimately what he is saying is that men and women can't be friends..regardless of the situation.

  • I don't think we're as desperate as he thinks, I know plenty of men who wouldn't give into lust like that. Just because someone might have the thought of doing something like that, doesn't mean that they will give in when the opportunity comes, many because of another commitment. That's like saying that if you just had a fight with a sibling, and wishing that he would just 'disappear' -- yes some people might think that, but do you really think they would if the opportunity strikes? Some do

  • really? lol

  • So steve harvey dosent have female friends, only male friends huh? well that sounds a bit homo to me. I'm pretty sure his ignorant, impotent, homophobic god wouldn't approve.

  • well if you dont believe him then ask a few of your male friend to have sex with you and see how many say no

  • @Darcsied27 lol but he has no female friends because he fucks every female he meets

  • @ElTantaran86 you don't? is it because you're gay?

  • @MidnightRayn Take a reading comprehension class, you fucking fool.

  • @Darcsied27 only female "friends" he has are the ones he fucks, so its totally and completely not homo

  • totally and entirely the truth. I have female friends that if I had the opportunity, i would totally take advantage of the situation. However, if i did not believe or the chance was nonexistent, i probably would not be as 'attentive' or 'accessible' lol SO SO truthful!

  • @canuZme lol it is true because i have friends that are girls in as soon as i get the green light im going in!!!

  • @ridgecrestboy16 same, it's true. the only female friends I have I already slept with and want to again. or I've simply known them forever and don't ever hang out with them.

  • Steve has a point if he's referring to hetereosexual men, because libido and sexual thoughts can't be prevented from entering into one's mind when being around a hot friend,  but we shouldn't generalize all men into one category, this can easily be applied to a woman as well if she's heterosexual and her sexual libido is alive and kicking. Sexual attraction is not a feeling you can remove surgically nor control, its our human nature and instinct. The point is not to set yourself up for failure.

  • and this is on cnn because?....

  • @Harajuku387007 its news to women

  • DOGS CAN'T BE FRIENDS WITH THOSE THEY WANT TO MOUNT

  • He's a pig who cheats on his "wife" (can you really date while "married"), has had bastard children with his ho's, and claims he's a Christian too. SCUM.

    Notice that when the woman said to the scum, "oh you don't have female friends because you have a wife?" he paused and looked stupid, and changed the subject to her.

    Oh, he has females in his life, and fucks them without protection. Nice fake "Christian" skank is all he is. He's not an expert on anything. Not all men are skanks.

  • @canthemum wow u have a lot of hatred in your heart...

  • @AzulDiamond93 for real. truth hurts

  • @canthemum he said his not friends with females he never said he didnt fuck them

  • @canthemum and i bet the kinds of dudes u date are "scum" like him but i bet you dont know it lol

  • WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely truthful!

  • I hate this pimp daddy christian who talks crap about Atheists, kiss my as* pastor harvey!!

  • @AtheistGorilla Regardless of his view on Athiests. This topic is irrelevant and separate of that. here he is making a good point.

  • WORD!!!

  • He has a point...
