Would you still be friends with someone of the opposite gender if you knew they would never give you sexual, financial, or practical favors?

Practical favors include repairing your furniture, etc.
personally I like to think friendship goes beyond the possibility of sex, money, or repairs, but that's apparently up for debate here on GAG. Please read all options before voting
Yes, I would still be friends regardless.
Vote A
No. They're not worth my friendship then.
Vote B
No, but I wouldn't be friends with someone of the same sex who didn't offer any of those benefits either.
Friends don't have to favors for each other. If you like them, be friends with them

Most of my friends are girls and it’s not weird to me at all being no sexual friends.

These polls were full of lies. What the hell were you thinking expecting people to give you honest answers? Are you high as a kite?

To save themselves. To protect their own shitty personality. On another sense to protect their own ass. What do you expect people to say? Oh yes I wouldn't even be a friend to someone if they had nether to offer me, especially financial help, sexual, or practical favors. How do you think that would make them look? I will answer your question because I am an actual honest abe. Yes I would and I will give you my reasons why. Because I am financially secure now and I see a friend as someone who I can talk to about my problems and someone to just chill and have a fun time with. I don't expect to get any favors out of them. Friends can easily change. Before though I wouldn't because I was more selfish and naïve and also mainly cause I was not financially secure and to me that's a big thing. Which makes me feel insecure thus having low confidence. If I get any of those things out of a friend though its just a bonus.

I don't expect girls to lend me money (that would be insulting) or go down on me (although that would be great). But if I can't trust them to ever do me a practical favor, even in a time of need, can you really call that friendship?

I choose friends based on shared interests. I have only found two friends sexually appealing and I'm dating one of them. The other is still a friend.

What’s Practical favors mean? Friends do things for each other. If someone is a selfish prick, which I can be, their friends have to decide if they enjoy their company.
But your question seems more about sex...

True friends don’t require some kind of tangible benefit to be friends, they just ARE, anything else I would call a “ fair weather friend”

Strange question, really. I mean the only way a true friendship with an opposite gender can survive is when you don't do things like that in the first place. Why would I go to fix her furniture, even though I could? That's when I start to think that she suddenly wants to be more than friends, and that's how friendship starting to die. True friendship is when you share your interests and having quality time but not when you become trouble makers to each other. Yes, go and help your friend with something but there must be boundaries and each friend should respect other friend's time.

Those things do not define friendship. If that is what you expect from a friend then you are a user and not worthy of friends.

That's why I don't have female friends. I don't need their money, I don't get sex from them and I don't feel like being their personal repairman.

I don't know. I don't have any friends as they were always one sided relationships.
