I don't really have female friends atm. With ones I had (we either weren't close or she decided to stop talking for me for some crazy reason) I was definitely not attracted to any of them, and I'm sure they weren't attracted to me. So I say men and women can be friends without attraction.
Although I am not an older person, so my opinion may not count.

Having female friends only really worked for me after I started dating my girlfriend. Cause now its clear that I'm not gonna try anything on them and Even if I have some attraction I'm not about to cheat on my girlfriend.
I'm gay, so GG. Although me and my lesbian friend did fake date for a month or two, solely to confuse the heck out of people.
But in all seriousness, there have been many guys, gay and straight, attractive and... Less so, whom I have been great 'just friends' with. In addition to that, the 'just friends' feel was on both sides, so no one was being friendzoned. When people say that men and women can't be just friends, it really seems like they think that men are savage beasts that care only for sex and have no standards whatsoever. Yeah, if they're attracted to each other they won't be 'just friends' but guys aren't attracted to every girl/guy that they come across.

Im a guy and most of my friends are women. Fairly attractive I might add, but I have no sexual desires with them. They are my friends and nothing more. I honestly don't know what I would do if one made an advance on me, but most have boyfriends already and I've known them long enough to the extent that they may as well be family. Things like sex only pose a problem in a friendship if you allow it to be a problem, in my opinion anyway.
I've had mostly guy friends all my life (as a girl), and while I have had friendships that turned romantic, I've also had plenty of friendships that remained entirely platonic. Or they were on my end at least...I suppose I can't say for certain what was going on in my friends' minds, but if they had any such hopes, they never acted on them.
Sexual urges happen, but they don't necessarily mean either party wants to be more than friends.

Bottom line: I have female friends. Some of them are attractive, and I have functioning male parts. I also know that none of them are likely attracted to me, and regardless of whether they might be or not (most likely not), I value them as friends more than I value the unlikely possibility for a hook-up, so I would NEVER, EVER try to make a "move" on any of them. The End.
Well, I am bisexual, so I'll take that question to mean "the gender/s you are attracted to" instead of "opposite gender". There are some friends who I wouldn't mind bonking, and others that I don't feel anything sexual for. I have been friendzoned when I was really young, but it hasn't happened since.
(Random Question: There are people who believe you CANNOT have a friendship with the opposite gender - what do these people think bisexuals do? Not have non-sexual friendships?)

So I guess the real question is - how do I answer this poll?
I have no sexual attraction to my friend/s
- 4+ I'm not attracted to.
I have some attraction but no desire to act
- Some attraction but no desire to act with at least 2.
I wouldn't mind..if the situation came up
- 3 I outright love, 2 I'm more than attracted enough to
I am friendzoned :'(
- Friendzoned by at least 2
I have no friends on the opposite gender
- Clear not the case. I'm on the verge of all my close friends being women.
