> Also, When Harry Met Sally was right. Men and women can't be friends. Eventually the sex gets in the way. Speaking for my self, men tend to confuse all closeness with romantic intimacy. I've never seen even explicitly sex buddies work either, sooner or later someone gets jealous or serious.

This has not been my experience as a 30 something male. I have female friends who are "good looking" in some societal sense but for whom there has been zero attraction for over a decade, so far as I can tell they feel similarly. Perhaps the reason this is my experience is that I find making male friends fairly easy, and my relationships with my male friends tend to be close and emotionally vulnerable (indeed, this seems to be why it is easy for me to make friends).
