I recently ask a question to all the people in this website about weather or not men and women can be friends under different scenarios. I was, and still am amazed at the responses I got. All the women that answered stated that it is possible, but a little more work may be need to be put into the friendship so that feelings don't get hurt, and men said that it was only possible if no romantic feelings were involved by either the man or the women, and if they were then the friendship either would not work from the beginning or would only last a short time before someone got hurt and ended the friendship.
My question is, why does there seem to be such a big disagreement between the sexes? Will anyone care to explain why they feel there is that disagreement?
I think because girls are way more emotionally involved with a relationship and so when it ends they still want to keep some part of the guy in their life. This causes us to want to be friends more so than guys because of the emotional connection that we felt.
Generalities and society as a whole. Friendships are a form of love and it's much more accepted that women can profess love without there being any sexual reason behind it. It's assumed that men can't love a girl as a friend because he must want to sleep with her. I think we've all just been programmed too much by society as a whole for whatever reason and it's too hard to break the mold.
