Just recently, one of my students told me that her best platonic friend expressed deeper feelings towards her. There is more honesty and possibly more self-reflection. Since sexual intimacy is not part of the platonic equation, men and woman have far less emotional complications. When a woman’s best male friend is not her lover, her level of interest reflects a friendship parity that is consistent with her female friends. Women are touchy-feely creatures with an acute sense of intuition. THE one common denominator among women is that they are born to bond, to nurture, to listen and to empathise.
