Can Men and Women Just Be Friends

Recently I was going into some deep thinking about my past... and started to wonder Did I ever have any friends who were women? That to me was a difficult question, because I can't really say. If I did in the past, I no longer do now. However I do know that my best friends and other close friends are all men.

However this got me thinking-- Plantonic Friendships are they possible? Can a man and a woman just be friends and share all of life's joys and sorrows together without any romance getting involved? In the past I have certainly seen it. However in the past I always noticed something... its all about the people's race. In other words a White Woman will have many White Men for friends, a Black Women will have many Black Men as friends, A Brown Man will have many Brown Women friends, a Asian person will have Asian friends, an Arab, etc.

But in recent times now race is no longer much of a problem (although racism still exists in America) and now more men of differnce races and ethnicites are now becoming friends with women of differnet races and ethnicities. So going back to my original question--- is it possible for a man and woman to be friends? Maybe for most people. But for some men its just not possible, and sadly that is my case. Every women whom I have attempted to become friends with either left or betrayed me, leaving me in some loneiness and emptiness inside. But don't end up like me, its certainly possible if your a man to make friends and find comfort with a woman. It will provide something more than a close male friendship can offer.
