Came across this on Youtube the other day and thought it was pretty interesting...
So basically, they did a poll at Utah State asking "Do you think men and women can just be friends?" with both male and female responders and most of the women said yes and a lot of the men said no. The men claim that "physical attraction" keeps them from being close friends with females. When they asked the women if they think that their guy friend would hook up with them if they had a chance, or even if they like them, the women all responded yes.
I had even asked a number of my friends, both guys and girls, the same question and got the same responses.
It's weird to think of the men that are the ones that are unable to control their sexual desires, when in fact, all of our readings in class have described it as the other way around. That women can't help themselves because they are naturally flawed whereas men, being perfect would be able to control their desires.
We have seen it in almost every romantic comedy. Man and woman try to be friends, one of them secretly likes the other, and there is a whole two hours worth of plot trying to conceal that emotion from the other and when they find out, they all live happily ever after as MORE THEN FRIENDS.
So... I guess they're right. Men and women cannot be just friends.
