I don't know either. About half of my close friends are men. Hey, I just looked at the time and I have errands to run before "squeeze" shows up! TTFN

Good point. Amazingly enough, more of my friends were male than female. To this day I find it easier to be friends with men, than women. Of course over the years, that has become tougher to manage and keep the sexual limits intact. But that is another issue altogether. My best friend in high school was a guy who was actually my oldest brothers friend. When I went away to college, we went our own ways. Over the years we had attended each others weddings. At his wedding, I danced with his dad, who said to me, "Rick's mother and I had always hoped you would one day be our daughter-in-law." So you might imagine that Rick's new wife would not have been keen on he and I remaining close friends. He and I had not seen each other for over 10 years, and I called him when I was back in the old neighborhood. We got together for coffee late one evening and talked into the wee hours of the morning. We walked out of the restaurant (one we went to all the time when we were younger) assuming that it was time to go our own ways again. But instead the conversation continued in the parking lot for a couple more hours. (NOTHING sexual occurred.) The years that we had not been in contact seemed to be non-existing when we talked. Some friendships stand the test of time with out question. I could call him tomorrow and speak to him on any subject, and not worry if he would question where I was coming from. Friendships are such complex (and wonderful) relationships. (was I just rambling?? )
