It's the age-old question: Can a man and a woman just be friends? A new study suggests that they can't -- at least as far as the guy is concerned. Men are more sexually interested in their female friends than their female friends are in them, LiveScience reports.
Not only are guys more likely to pine for their platonic female pals, but they're also more likely than gals to think their friends are romantically interested in them, too, even if they aren't. "Men over-infer women's sexual interest in a variety of contexts, and I definitely see that extending into the domain of cross-sex friendships as well," study researcher April Bleske-Rechek, a psychologist at the University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire, told LiveScience.
However, being attracted to your BFF isn't always such pleasant experience (as many of us have learned the hard way). Study participants were much more likely to list attraction as a "cost" rather than a benefit of their opposite-sex friendship (though men were less likely to see it this way than women).
What do you think? Is being attracted to your friend a recipe for disaster? Or could it possibly lead to love?

And i went out with one of my other friends, who was a girl, for almost 6 months. We're not together anymore but we are still good friends.
This is all a perversion by introducing so many blacks to a white culture. It is somehow always the white man who has to give ground to multiculturalism.
And since when is America a "white culture"? Last I checked, American culture was a blend of many nationalities.
superior? If you were of another ethnic group in the same situation, would you try to preserve your race so hard? Do you wish to murder black and white couples, well just the blacks they are partnered with?

I'm sure every interracial couple out there is pondering silently to themselves, "Gee, I wonder what Bob Turner would think about this."
There was no civilization to speak of here. Half-naked savages living in the woods hardly counts as a civilization. And yes, America WAS founded by whites. There is nothing about the civilization here that resembled anything the Mongols had.
But then, no one is trying to do that. No one is telling them with ominous glee every other day in the newspapers and media that they will be a minority soon.
