"These results suggest that men, relative to women, have a particularly
hard time being “just friends.” What makes these results particularly
interesting is that they were found within particular
friendships (remember, each participant was only asked about the
specific, platonic, friend with whom they entered the lab). This is not
just a bit of confirmation for stereotypes about sex-hungry males and
naïve females; it is direct proof that two people can experience the
exact same relationship in radically different ways. Men seem to see
myriad opportunities for romance in their supposedly platonic
opposite-sex friendships. The women in these friendships, however, seem
to have a completely different orientation—one that is actually
platonic."
