270. The psychology of male-female friendships

It's an age old question - can men and women ever actually be friends?

  • 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
