Male-female friendships do not exist. This is quite true, but only for that part of the human race that has never allowed a person of the opposite sex to find a true friend. For those who have allowed it, it does not apply. Male-female friendships may be very rare, but those who have and keep them know they are very valuable.
People who claim that all human beings are shaken by impulses and that every person understands another only as a sexual object, and then themselves represent themselves as one. These are those whose black-and-white realities, advocates and spokespersons are the idea of women from Venus and men from Mars. So they can freely return to their planet because all of us who are on the planet Earth should show that we are evolving, that we have learned something from the past and that we have overcome the "animal" driven world we have been living in. These Martians and those women from Venus are those who, with a full-bodied diet, are eating only appetizers because they do not know how delicious the main dish can be. These are the ones who would rather put the book under the foot of the table and not actually read it.
Do you really think that such an exalted relationship as friendship may depend on such a banal thing as the fact of what one has between the legs? Then either you are too weak to understand what friendship really means or what you have between your legs is dictating your life. And you have the right to both of those things, but do not say that today there are no more honest and true friends, and how the world is crazier, because your attitudes are what makes this world crazy.
