Men and women can be just friends, but in a very limited sense.
I am married. Most of my male friends are my husband’s friends and therefore mine by extension. I never spend time with them unless hubby is present. I might run into them while doing errands, and we briefly chat. Our relationship is warm and friendly but I do not call them, ask them to hang out with me, ask them to go shopping, etc.
Or I have some male friends but I only see them in a group context.
A woman cannot be friends with men like she can be friends with women. End of story. I like that this video really exposes that.
I can, and always have. Some of my husband's longest friendships are with women that predate our 24 years together, just as some of my longest friendships with men predated him.
