Interesting about friendship. I agree - it's akin to water and the air for me. My really close friends (I'm a man) are women. I would have nothinig at all against finding that level of closeness with a man, but in my experience men sometimes feel uncomfortable with people who are open. I don't like keeping things in - if something's happened I need to tell a close friend, and at length! And in 99 times out of a hundred, a woman makes me feel more comfortable and relaxed doing that.loobyhttp://loobynet.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6759421079279172044.post-73758081070880996532011-03-14T00:24:58.614-04:002011-03-14T00:24:58.614-04:00I agree that we do need someone besides alcoholics...I agree that we do need someone besides alcoholics to be friends with.

Love her as I love all my friends.<br /><br />Love men too - but you are right, conversation is different and I don't know whether I would want to tell them everything!<br /><br />Anna :o]hyperCRYPTICalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11967085628384237933noreply@blogger.com
