Can Men and Women Be "Just Friends"?

For a lot of people, this is not quite possible.
How can we be friends? No way!
Well, I know a lot of my girlfriends find it hard to have a platonic relationship with guys.
Now, I find that so strange. I have several guy friends who are, well, just friends.
We are not physically attracted to each other. Neither sexually. Emotionally? Hell no!
At least, not on my part. And I am pretty sure, not on theirs either.
My girlfriends tell me that given half a chance, they'd go to bed with me anytime.
I am insulted by that remark. They're talking about my (guy) friends as though these guys are sleazeballs masquerading as platonic friends.
Besides, I have never got any "signal" from them.
Yeah, yeah, I have been accused of having thick skin.
Ok, ok, my girlfiends may be right. But that is really stereotyping men.
Whoops, and I am so guilty of that too.
But, not in this case.
I'm pretty weird in that sense.
In college, I was never attracted to my classmates. Even the gorgeous ones whom other girls would be having a crush on.
I have no idea why I am like that.
It's like it's so incestuous to be having anything romantic, physical or emotional or all of that, with one's classmates or colleagues.
Yes, colleague! He maybe the world's sexiest hunk but I probably see him as, er, just another colleague, of the male variety.
