I think it's a good topic. One that has never been brought up (at least to me) before.

When it comes to opposite sex friendships, they're possible, but it seems that there's always fine print. It always helps if the man's gay for one thing.

It seems out of all the man-to-woman friendships I have, either they want something, or I do. I know this is not just me, because there are people I know who share the same types of relationships. I think this isn't just surface "yeah, a man and woman can be friends" talk (how people are trying to make it out to be). I think when you get down to it, there's much, much more.
