Do you believe that the true friendship exists between a man and a woman?
When I talk about the friendship between a man and a woman I’m not talking about the acquaintanceship with no emotional ties on a saying hello basis (e.g. hundreds of “friends” on your Face book), nor am I talking about the friendship with the spouse of a best friend, or the working relationship with a co-worker … I’m talking about the friendship between a man and a woman as strong as the one between heterosexual same-sex friends.
Truth: * Men Benefit More from Cross-Sex Friendship
Women spend the majority of their time together discussing their thoughts and feelings, while males rarely share feelings or personal reflections.
Therefore, men enjoy talking and relating to women—something they can’t do with their buddies.
Meanwhile, same-sex friendships bring women higher quality and enjoyment. Because women expect more emotional rewards from friendship than men do.
Women have higher risk of emotional attachment than men do in a cross-sex friendship, otherwise women would rather choose a same-sex friendship.
Men can be attracted to someone and be friend at the same time because men don’t get emotionally involved in the same way as women do. Men can stay friends without acting on their fantasies. However, does NOT acting on your fantasy make you a real friend?
Truth: * Attraction
If a man and a woman have dated, and broke up, then and only then can it be possible for them to remain “just friends.” In that, they eventually broke up after attempts to work out the relationship and failed, and they have known each other well, have built trust and ties, and again they have lost attraction to each other, and therefore they are more likely to become true friends.
If a man and a woman have not dated at all and are “just friends,” they will share stories and build trust. They will soon figure out how much they understand and appreciate each other and will most likely end up dating (it can take years)
There are a lot of examples when a man and a woman were friends for a long time and got married. There are also a lot of examples when a friendship between a man and a woman was ruined after one of friends fell in love with another person (not just the physical variety of love) If friendship couldn’t survive the end of love, it was never meant to be.
The foremost truth: Why do a man and a woman decide to be friends?—There’s attraction.
* Conclusion
Friendship between a man and a woman is like a walk along a very narrow land separating the bay of knowing one from the ocean of love. A high tide tends to flood the piece of land.
A man and a woman can only be “just friends” before or after a relationship. Their friendship will eventually lead to either sex (that can be in verbal, in thoughts or in dreams) or love (including platonic love and one-sided attraction. In platonic love, there’s no sexual activity, but very often there is sexual attraction) unless both find each other unattractive.
Friendship between a man and a woman is as rare as true love. Give up your belief of friendship between a man and a woman; find your love first.
