Furious_Female, you make a good point there. Indeed a lot of men are just waiting for the right moment to try and get their "female friend", and indeed most men wouldn't pass up the opportunity to bed their female friends.
However, that doesn't mean that m/f friendship is impossible. I have several female friends who I enjoy spending time with simply because I like their company. Sure, I would have sex with the attractive ones if the opportunity arose and we were both single, but that doesn't mean I would try to hurt their relationships or something of the sort, or take advantage of them if they were vulnerable. That's not what real friendship is about...
