270. The psychology of male-female friendships

It's an age old question - can men and women ever actually be friends? In today's episode we explore the social psychology and studies that help us understand why the genders sometimes have so much difficulty being close friends, as well as how to assert boundaries and keep friendships platonic, including:

  • The differences in male vs. female friendship style
  • Why we prefer friends of the same gender
  • How romantic attraction ruins things
  • The checklist for healthy male-female friendship
  • How gender is creating more divide
  • The benefits of having friends who are different to you + much more
