Only if the man was a total hotty.

*drool*

Uh.... *cough* Grrrr MANLY THINGS RAAAARRR.

In seriousness, I find the male form to be hilarious, especially heavily muscled dudes, whereas women look unbelievably amazing.

No.

Men do not appeal to me in the slightest bit. I have plenty of friends, but to me, the pursuit of happiness through companionship encompasses more than just being able ot chat with someone.

I can't love someone I find visually offensive. That isn't shallow. That's just sane.

Good relationships are based on more than physical attraction, but a relationship with no physical attraction is unhealthy.

In the pursuit of happiness, I'm already straight, so there's no gender to overlook.

Unless I'm watching her undress.

No. Simply put, nothing could make me form a relationship with a dude. It just doesn't fly with me. Besides, part of my "perfect partner template" involves female-exclusive criteria, so that wouldn't exactly work.

No. I would be good friends with the guy, hang out a lot, but the difference between a romantic relationship and a friendly one is sex. If I can't get it up, what's the point?

Whatever way I float, If I'm attracted to somebody what the hell? Even If I consider myself straight, If by some device I turn out gay that' fine.

No. She could be my best friend, but I don't think I could suddenly become sexual attracted to a girl. If I was sexually attracted to her, then sure, I wouldn't mind. I just don't want to force myself to like her in that way if I don't. Would I really suddenly turn into a lesbian just because I found a perfect counterpart? Besides, I know that it's a 'in this situation would you' kind of thing, but in my situation currently, I have no need to be that desperate.

no, and for the same reason a lesbian wouldn't be with a man, I'm just not wired that way, I don't find guys attractive, and whats wrong with just being friends.

This hypothetical situation reminds me of certain manga under my bed...two completely straight, heterosexual young men: one is a short jock with wavy blonde hair and a cute face, often mistaken for a girl when viewed from behind. Due to this, he cut off his hair and joined the football team. The other is a tall nerd with sort raven hair with a cute face, as well. A very shy and timid individual, he's very much like the studious librarian type. The two are the best of friends, ever since childhood.
One day, the tall nerd gets his nerve up to confess his love to a girl he's had a crush on since high school. His friend, the jock, disapproves of the girl because he knows she'd be a bad influence on him, and has a "reputation". Nevertheless, he wishes his shy friend luck, but decides to follow him from a distance, just in case. He sees his friend confess to the girl, who cruelly turns him down, making fun of his "feminine" looks and personality. Enraged, the jock comes forward to give her a piece of his mind, but his friend is in dire need of cheering up, especially since it starts to rain.

The shy young man stands numbly, and his friend leads him to a bar to drown out their sorrows. Throughout the evening, the jock tries to cheer his friend up with tales of their past adventures, regaling him with antidotes and shared experiences. His friend says nothing, though it is apparent he is trying to smile. The jock decides they've both had enough to drink, and carries his friend back to his room.

Ever since childhood, they've always slept over at each other's houses to play video games or do homework. Both their parents are away on business, which made it all the more important for the two teenagers to watch out for each other. The jock gives his depressed and drenched friend a change of clothes (they often keep changes of clothes at each other's rooms, due to the frequency of their sleep "bro"vers), all the while trying to cheer him up.

Out of the blue, his friend asks, "Do I...really look that feminine?"

[For intents and purposes, B.J. is Blonde Jock, and R.N. is Raven Nerd]

B.J. tried to bluster his way out of this awkward question. "Hey, look...you...remember when my big sis bullied us into playing dress up with her when we were younger? She put wigs and dresses on both of us, and she would've put make up on us, too, if we hadn't escaped through the window? That's how we got our knees scraped, remember?"

R.N. nodded, wondering where this was leading to.

"What...what I'm trying to say is this: you put a wig and dress on someone, and they're going to look like a girl! I mean, I had a wig and dress on, too! Didn't you think I looked like a girl? Plus, it's even worse when you've got a baby face! We've both got baby faces, see? So...don't pay attention to what that broad said. She's a whor-"

"Do you think I look feminine?" R.N. interjected, looking drunkenly into his friend's eyes.

Exasperated, B.J. staggers over to his sister's room and grabs a handful of wigs and old dresses. He lopsidedly puts on a wig and a dress, looking more like a disheveled crossdresser than a girl. "Look...here's a wig and a dress...do I look feminine? Anyone can look feminine-"

R.N. laughs, straightening out the wig on his friend's head and buttoning the dress up properly. "Okay...now you look like a girl!"

Embarrassed and inebriated, B.J. places a dress over his friend's head, pulling it down so that his arms were pinned inside, then placed the requisite wig in a rather canted angle on his not-so-depressed comrade. "Now you do, too!"

Both of them laughed uproariously, alcohol still heavy in their systems...
...I think I'll stop there.

Japan, strangely enough, never fails to disappoint.
Unless that was one of those American-made manga, in which case I guess it's a graphic novel.
Or maybe it's still a manga.

That's a definite no. Don't get me wrong. I'm no homophobe, and I'm comfortable enough with my own sexuality to say when another male is good looking, but having a relationship with another male isn't for me.

Anywho, for the sake of argument, I've assumed that you are heterosexual and of either gender.
Pretty sure there are more than two distinct genders. So, with that in mind...

I'm not sure. I think couldn't form a romantic relationship with someone masculine, but someone of a more feminine bend... maybe?
It's not like I've run into a lot of trannies or real nancyboys, so I don't know if the attraction would be there.

So, the short answer: Idunno.

Sooorry, can't hear you through the awesomeness of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R soundtrack!
Besides, I'm not searching for a "perfect person". That's because I really don't give a fuck if a girl is a complete ***** as long as I like her (for whatever reason).
And I'm not gay, so no same-sex relationships for me.

No, I am only attracted to females (opposite sex) and if worse comes to worse I'll just lower my standards, not like they can get much lower. *cries in a corner*

With a dash of aneurysm just to make sure, yes.
I'm saddened that you asked me about it instead of calling emergency services.

I think that it would be a great friendship, one of those friendships that last until you are old and grey but the idea of romantic/sexual interest in a guy (given that I'm gay female) is literally impossible. I understand that gender/sexuality can be quite fluid for many people but I'm the wrong side of 35 now and have never once had the slightest interest of that sort in the male of the species. Friends? Yeah, many times. Romantic interest? Never.
