I was listening to the radio and they posed this question- one that I have often pondered myself. (Do you think members of the opposite sex can be good friends with each other?) I've often said that 95% of my friends are female. In 2012, I find this statement to be more and rare for several reasons: 1. I am straight 2. I am married 3. I have an understanding spouse. You see, growing up, it was this way also. And, as you can see, it has carried this way well into adulthood. In fact, the 3 people who I consider my "best" friends in my life are also female. Sure, I have some guy friends-but the vast majority are female. Bottom line, without upsetting the spouse/significant other, do you feel this can be still true in 2012?
