Why Do Men seek out Women friends?

Posted by: andrew william, 1-Aug-2007

Most men are comfortable with their buddy male friends due to common interests and a feeling of comfort. You can always see that when friends meet together, the women and men would separate and congregate among themselves to discuss common interests. Guys will on their common interest talk about games etc while women about clothing and shopping etc. But when do a guy or girl find it a special interest to seek a friend of the opposite sex, purely plutonic and thus developing a great friendship.

My friend Karen. Talented, pretty and intelligent.

Men will always have a difficulty in drawing the line between friendship and attraction. Women on the other hand are quite clear about relationships and will most of the time not cross the line.

I have such a great friend. She is smart, attractive, and we both share common grounds of interest. We always call each other or meet up to discuss about the problems we face in relationship. Sometimes just being a listening ear is good enough. My friend will always ask me how I am getting on etc. Its good to sometimes talk to the opposite sex because you will not know why your partner reacted in a particular way, was it justifiable etc until you hear it from a neutral party who is of the opposite sex. She on the other hand would also like to know why men react the way they do.

Karen and I have at times discussed why we did not consider each as partners. The answer is obvious; we are great friends and will remain that way forever.
