venus and mars

I don't understand why some people cannot accept the fact that a guy and a girl can be just friends and not anything more. The sniggers and exchange of glares some people give when they see their friends- a guy and a girl together. Males and females can be the best of friends. It is not because that majority of the people have best friends of the same sex means the rest of the people are weird. There is still something called platonic relationship.

The norm is that women are best friends with other women and men are best buddies with other men. So whenever someone else doesn't follow what is known as the norm, their intentions are in suspect?

I think it's just silly to think this way.

Platonic friendships actually serve a very good purpose. They help men understand and perceive women as real people with real needs and problems, and not sex objects or playthings. Girls also get a chance to see boys as caring persons, not creatures with nothing but sex and exploitation on their minds.

Let me list the advantages.
1) Easy access to his/her circle of boyfriends/girlfriends.
2) Test-drive your best moves/lines with no threat of real rejection if they don't work.
3) Get solid haircut or clothes advice to avoid becoming a fashion disaster.
4) You get inside information, on how to improve your own game.

Heh.

We need to see a friendship as a friendship, one of the most beautiful and enduring relationships humans can enjoy and cherish. The players concerned are incidental, they could be a woman and a woman,a man and a man or a man and a woman. We need to understand that the beauty of it remains the same. We need to appreciate that it offers consolation, comfort and companionship to the concerned people.

And anyway, looking at friends around me, i think men who share healthy friendships with women are more likely to have a greater respect for them.
