According to a poll conducted by handbag.com, it seems that men and women can't handle just being platonic friends. Thousands of women aged 25-44 voted and revealed that women are in denial and want things their way when it comes to being friends and having sex with men.

83% did believe that they can be just good friends' while close to half polled, 45% did admit that their close male friends were ex lovers. 38% hated to see him get together with her female friends and 59% admitted to being jealous of their male friends' friendships with other women and have even discouraged them from getting closer to a woman deemed her rival. In fact, one in ten even deliberately sabotaged their male friends' relationship with another woman.

The poll also revealed that over a third of the women secretly have feeling for their male friend but won't tell them for fear they will ruin the friendship. Nearly half also admitted they keep a platonic friend on the back burner whom they would consider marrying if they weren't already married by a certain age.

Close to a fifth of the woman polled admit to having an ongoing, casual, sexual relationship with a close male friend when they aren't in a relationship. Two-thirds say they don't regret it, and it generally happens when they are feeling horny or drunk.
