Of my 3 best friends, only 1 is female. the other 2 are married men. While there is some flirting, it's all in good fun-we'd never think of having sex.
Cute sidebar: On a trip to TN, my female friend and I shared a room(we always do on our trips) and, as she was the weekend's coordinator, our room was also the 'hospitality room'. My other best friend was standing with a few others, waiting for their itineraries,etc. I laid back on my bed, pointed to him and said, "come here , sweet thang". He hopped onto the bed, we rolled into a big body hug and he declared, in front of all there, "I've been waiting for this moment for THREE years!" I replied, "and this is as close as you're ever gonna get, too!"
There seems, at least for me, a type of freedom of self that I get with the friends of the opposite sex that I just don't feel with women friends. I have never had an angry argument with the men, even when we debate an issue. I have with the females.
Maybe my mentality is one of an 'i don't really give two shits about putting on airs for anyone' and guys seem to be that way more than women, although that is changing nowadays a bit, thankfully.
