Can there be friendship between men and women?

As Oscar Wilde once said: �Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship�. Is that love? Is there the possibility of platonic relationships between men and women? We believe it's a very rare phenomenon. Such friendship is impossible within a sexual relationship. The truth is for male at least, that they can't be just friends, there is always something more between them and their women-friends, some kind of desire.

As we know from the science of physics, both pluses and minuses attract each other. So, the same thing is between men and women. And this is quite natural phenomenon. But on the other hand, men and women between themselves have a physical flaw, which stops them of being more than friends, at least most of them, we always have exceptions, but those are still a minority. In reality a man is the compliment of a woman, and vice-versa. But there are still other kinds of possibilities, I mean when there's no physical attraction, in such case such friendship is possible. But everything depends on the way we look at friendship!

As you see, there is no real friendship between men and women (unless they have too much difference in age). Maybe some women would say, for example: "I have some male friends, to whom I feel just friendship�. Seemingly, it could be true, but in reality, it's not. Why? It is because the friendship between a man and a woman always inevitably has the possibility (or potentiality) to develop into either love or hatred (or sometimes jealousy). As far as that possibility will not come true in practice, they might sometimes erroneously believe in the existence of true friendship. However, it is in fact a totally different feeling from the true friendship between the

same sex representatives.
