can a man and a beautiful woman truly be friends?

I have a better question: Can a MAN become a WOMAN?
>inb4 'no'
Transphobia is not welcome here! Leave my /b/ or else I'll report you. Thanks and bye! Bye bye! See ya! So long! Byeee!

No. The man will want to fuck the woman. The woman will use the man as an emotional tampon.

only with benefits

no
first ask yourself why would either one withhold the maximum enjoyment possible, sex.
FWBs and hetero friendships is just mental illness

>>936934727
not so

If the man is a faggot, yes. If the man is straight, no fucking chance. He either falls into the simp trap and gets cucked, OR doesn't have a functional dick. The faggot of course won't fall into the simp trap.

Though from a practical perspective, why ever be friends with a woman? She's never going to help you. Not with moving, not with getting a girl, not with life shit. She's gonna use you like a dumping ground for trash, drama, and whatever other garbage. Being friends with a girl is always going to be a one sided situation. Hence why only simps fall for it and faggots "tolerate" women so they can share gossip shit or whatever because they were feminized to the max and basically act like women themselves.

I have always been of the idea that being in a relationship with a woman is more of a transactional thing.

To include a non gay answer, yes.

I have several attractive female friends, a couple are exes, one i initially wanted to fuck but got no chemistry back from. Some ive just know 15 years.

>hurrr durr they just use you for money

i live slightly above mininum wage pay cheque to paycheque, the most i can do for them is split whatever food drink we get. One in particular has a high paying job and has spent a fair bit on me even since we broke up.

>hurrr durr use you for emotional support
Yeah sometimes, but if i feel like shit they will help me out too. If they didnt id fuck them off like a male friend

For the record, having attractive women in your social circle helps you meet more attractive women, some who will want to fuck you unless your a creep simp looser.

Anon, what is picrel >>936936542
from?

>>936931143 (OP)
Depends if she's ugly then yeah. If you find her attractive then not really. Plus depends what you mean by friends. Like you hanging out with her as in movies and spending time with her? No. Basically you or her will fall in love. Because you're bonding. It only takes time. Plus if u have a gf why would ur gf let you spend time with another women when you could be doing that with her. So no.
