a Man and a Woman can never be close friends

I was one of those people who advocated for the fact that Men & Women could be close friends if both of them knew their boundaries and treated each other just like they would to a friend of their own gender.

I used to laugh at people who said that no matter what, a close friendship between a guy & a girl wouldn’t last.

Turns out I was wrong. A man and a Woman can never be close friends.

I have lost 4 of my close female friends from 2013 to 2024. We just drifted apart for whatsoever reasons but the summary is that it didn’t last.
