naaw, just throwing and bouncing ideas, I learn quite a lot from you people. I am glad you agree that they can be friends. I admit to the possibility of bad intentions, but then in today’s age you cant even trust a person of the same sex when it comes to intentions. lol
Like I said, I have attended the weddings of some of my very good female friends, and if it didnt suit them, we ended it at a happy note and did not communicate again. And I have some married friends, whose husbands dont mind.
You are right, there are more common interests and more things you can do with a friend of the same sex. But when it comes to quality of friendship, sincerity and sacrifice, then it is between two persons - sex has less to do with it.
