Men and women can absolutely be friends, and that's what we need to be. Part of the problem is that we aren't friends enough. Our relationships are negotiations, and that is not friendship.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
They say men and women can't be friends, but that's not true.
If you feel like it's hard to be friends with women, consider that maybe women aren't the problem. Maybe it's just you.
Friendship can only exist between persons with similar interests and points of view. Man and woman by the conventions of society are born with different interests and different points of view.
Guys and girls can be friends without having to date!
I think it is a good thing to have woman friends at every stage of life. We confide in each other, we support each other, we understand each other most of the time. Of course, sometimes we are competitive or angry or distant, too. But I do think it is important not to let the main friendships slip away in the sweep of the days.
It may be something to do with my having been to a girls' school, but I'm far more comfortable making male friendships than female ones. My friends tend to be men and their significant others.
As I grow older, I think friendship between women is a thing to cherish.
What men have called friendship is only a social arrangement, a mutual adjustment of interests, an interchange of services given and received; it is, in sum, simply a business from which those involved propose to derive a steady profit for their own self-love.
I have a great pack of female friends, but I also have a lot of guy friends. I believe that platonic relationship is entirely possible.
Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship.
