It's nice to have a group of girlfriends with whom you can confide and hang out with. But having a male friend has a bunch of benefits too!
So, the good news is that not only can men and women be friends, they should be friends – and here’s why.
Men can provide insight into the men you date – because they’re men.
Sadly, women can be ruthless when it comes to talking about other women. Men, on the other hand, generally don’t try to compete with or undermine each other.
If you're a sports enthusiast who cringes at the thought of manicures, your male friend might be your go-to for Superbowl parties and golf outings.
If you find yourself in a precarious situation at a bar, your male friend will be your stand-in big brother.
The different ways men and women approach problem-solving can make for some awesome arguments, but these diverse attitudes also complement each other.
