I think we can still be friends lil ! This study is slightly simplistic but I thought it was interesting enough to post for discussion.

ha ha I wasn't being serious. Of course we can be "friends" and you can punctuate it any way you like. The video is cute - but here's my problem with all of this. The men all said "no, men and women can not be friends." Yet, they all were being friends with the women. In some cases, best friends. So obviously all the people in the video CAN be just friends, but they can also be MORE than friends if both sides feel like it. I think all our friends are people that turn us on, but we can be turned on in many ways. I'm surprised that none of the young adults in the video had anything more nuanced to say (although it might have been edited out).
