Platonic Relationships?

Is it possible for guys to be good friends with girls? Well of course, it is possible, just that it is not as common as compared to friends of the same sex. But why is that so? After all, we are all humans.
Man are Mars, women are from Venus. Man and women think differently. That is what makes us so different, apart from the physical anatomy side. Can only gays be good friends with women? Difference in mentality definitely play a big part here.
In the past, men are thought to be strong-minded and tough physically and mentally. They show little or no emotions in order to display the aura that they are stronger.
However, in recent times, there is an emergence of a new breed of men- sensitive new-age men. This new breed of men still sought to be strong but they show more attentiveness in everything they do. They are more thoughtful in their actions. As a result, they might be able to communicate better with the ladies.
But, ladies, whose thought processes are still forever the no. 1 mystery in the world... but definitely, it is great to have many of such relationships.
