Friendship between a man and a woman: does it even exist?

    Opinions are always divided into two camps on this issue. Some argue that there is no such friendship, because it is simply impossible to cheat nature and physical attraction.

Others are sure that there is such a friendship, holy and unselfish, without a bias toward relationships.

Why does it arise?

To understand the nature of friendship between a man and a woman, it is worth finding out how it arises in the first place. To begin with the fact that under the concept of "friendship", they tried to bring a lot of varieties of relationships, which are not even called friendly.

In some cases, the so-called "friendship" is just a prelude to a relationship. That is, "friendship" based not on human sympathy, but still on the sympathy of men for women, or vice versa.

In some cases, by contrast, "friendship" is a consequence of a relationship that has outlived itself. Is it worth saying that in this situation there is no question of unselfishness, of sincerity of friendly intentions? Just one of the partners, or both, do not want to let go of each other, and they try to hold on to this relationship, which has almost collapsed, by agreeing to be "friends".

But, is friendship possible between those who have been linked by intimate relationships? The answer seems obvious.

Is the third one given?

In other words, "friendship" either precedes a relationship or becomes its final stage. Is the third given? Are there any relationships without any intimate connotations at all? When people just become each other's soul mates, regardless of gender differences?

Psychologists believe that such friendships do not exist. Simply because nature is not fooled, sooner or later, one of the partners will look at the other is not just a friend. Even if he never admits it!

But, a friendship in which a man and a woman actually, communicate for years, while "not sleeping together" - also occurs in life. Here's just one little "but": it doesn't mean that in their lives they have never allowed the thought of waking up in each other's arms.

It's just that these are adults, experienced, able to control their behavior, able to "equilibrate" on the edge of friendship and relationships. But, this balance can collapse at any moment, no matter how many years people have been "friends" for nothing.

Because it is dictated by our nature.
