I disagree.
Then again, Chelsea Handler is someone who really, really bothers me--so maybe I'm biased.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?
Personally, I can't picture myself having a male BFF - BUT I think different people have different definitions of what being a "best friend" means. Your BFF doesn't HAVE to be someone who goes and does girly stuff with you... not all women are into that. So I disagree.

I disagree.
And I know men who get manicures, my BFF's husband likes to keep his nails clean.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?
I would have disagreed (because my best friend all through high school was a guy) if you hadn't mentioned who said it, but since it was Chelsea Handler, I guess I have to agree. I'm pretty sure she knows her sh!t.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?
I think this is true for some women, but not for all. I've never really been a "girl's girl". My DH is my best friend, and not just because he's my spouse... I just relate to him better than I relate to any of my female friends.
I've always related better to male friends, but after high school and college I found it became too difficult to have really close platonic friendships with men. One of 4 things always happened:
- the guy ended up having feelings for me that I didn't return
- I ended up having feelings for the guy that he didn't return
- someone I was dating felt jealous/threatened by my friendship with the guy
- someone the guy was dating felt threatened/jealous by his friendship with me

My DH is my best friend -- no one understands me like he does, no one makes me laugh like he does... I can talk to him about anything and everything. So yes, I think a man can be your best friend.
Before DH I've had both male and female best friends.

I agree...except that I have always had female friends too

Seriously???? LOL...I didn't know she was so knowledgeable in the ways of the world.
And if I based my friendships on who goes to get their nails done with me, those relationships would be pretty shallow.

I agree with this, BUT I also feel that this is the only case where it would be true (for me). I don't think I could ever have a male best friend that was JUST my friend. In my experience, that is. I agree that many times one or the other would get feelings for the other or that it would cause issues in their love lives with other people.

i agree... this is a matter of personal opinion on what consitutes a BFF... its not a scientific fact or even a theory... its personal preference

To answer the question, I disagree. I do think that a female can have a male best friend.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?
I thought it was funny.
Generally I have always been a girls girl myself. Not bc we get our nails done I just relate better to women I guess.
DH is my BFF but IMO it is a different relationship entirely than the relationships with my girls.
My DH is my most trusted person, my partner, my cheerleader (vice versa) 100% but he is also my lover so it is different for me.
I think many women DO have male BFF's I am just not one of them.

Sarcasm online is tough, but I picked up on it...though "sarcasm fail" had me laughing.

Re: Men can't be your BFF says Chelsea Handler...agree or disagree?
Hmmm disagree. One of my very best friends is a guy and while we don't go out and get our nails did together, if I was really hurting, he'd accompany me to get my nails done without hesitation. He's a really great guy.
