Much has been written and said about the friendship of man and woman. Nevertheless, the question of the possibility of such friendship remains open. Men and women have different psychologies and different attitudes towards the same things. Can they be faithfully and disinterestedly friends? Or is this kind of communication from the realm of fiction?
Let’s try to answer the question: can a woman be friends with a man without pursuing absolutely no selfish goals? To do this, she will have to be honest with herself. Does she flirt with her friend? Does he talk about his romance with other men? Does he know about men with whom she was previously close or who she likes at the moment? Have you had a romantic relationship with this friend in the past? Affirmative answers cast such friendships in great doubt. It is likely that either a woman is in love with a man or vice versa. Friendship here is a cover, and sooner or later it may open.
The psychology of men is such that they consider every woman as a potential sexual partner. Perhaps if he is friends, he simply did not think of how to move on to a new round of relations. Or he is in love with his girlfriend, but, knowing that there will be no reciprocity, through friendship he finds the only way to communicate with her. And of course, in the depths of hope, he has a hope that a woman will appreciate him, so caring and understanding. But maybe later
So he is friend. But if he gives a woman expensive gifts, it makes you think. Why didn't he give something modest and symbolic as a friend? Does he help a woman in everything and is ready to break into her around the clock at her first call? It may well be that in the soul behind his good intentions lies love.
If a woman takes a friend for a company to go shopping, and he simply passes the test stoically, this is also an occasion to try to sort things out. Only a man in love can endure this nightmare for more than half an hour.
Women love to discuss their boyfriends with friends. If a friend always takes the side of a woman, it is difficult to call his relationship friendly. A very likely version of his expectation is when a friend understands that of all her acquaintances of the stronger sex, he is the best.
An excellent indicator is alcohol. If after drinking wine conversations on abstract topics continue, then this is really a friend. But his kisses and hugs indicate that he dared, relaxed, and friendship can not be considered.
In any case, according to the statement of psychologists, in friendship between representatives of the opposite sexes there is always always sympathy, without which there can definitely be no friendship. The same psychologists say that friendship between a woman and a man is still possible. And not only between relatives. But relations of this kind have always been different and difficult, and such friendship is more fragile and short-lived than friendship between members of the same sex.
As sociological studies have shown, women expect trust, understanding, emotional closeness from friendship with men. During sexual contact between heterosexual friends, women overwhelmingly consider themselves used and have a very negative attitude to this. Men's opinion on this score is exactly the opposite - in their opinion, sex is absolutely not an obstacle to real friendship, but rather only strengthens the relationship. Polar opinions on this issue often lead to misunderstanding and resentment between friends. Therefore, it is better to immediately stipulate such things and try to treat each other with understanding.
A true friend is a great happiness anyway. And what kind of friendship will be in each case - it always depends on the woman and the man.
