Ohh :) - this endless question, can friendship exist between a man and a woman?
Until I was 23, I thought it couldn't exist, for a few unclear reasons.
To be honest most of them were a little sexist or may be more than a little (heh, sorry girls I was dumb).
I liked girls but in old-fashioned way, I thought that I needed a gorgeous woman who wouldn't work and it doesn't matter how smart or interesting person she will be.
The girls around me were casual and if we exclude a romantic part they were less inreresting than guys for a good, deep communication.
I thought that you have romantic interest from one side in any long-term "friendship" between a man and a woman.
But then I gradually changed my opinion over the next few years.
The main reason was that a few women became my buddies without any sexual context.
1) An old aunt of my best friend. I have known her from childhood, we used to go hiking with my friend and his family. But when we grew up adult themes became not forbidden to discuss between us. So I always visit her to talk about relationships and gossip when I come to my hometown. She is extremely emotional and funny and we always spend a good 3-4 hours together.
2) A coworker who was 10 years older then me. She is an attractive woman to men (but she is not my type) with a cool personality. We were hanging out all the time at work (I mean instead of work:) ) during one year. There was a minor rumor around the company that we had slept together, but we just laughed about it.
3) An accountant from the company. Sometimes I came to an accountants' room with 5 women and told funny stories. And one of them and me were feeling some warm, absolutely platonic relation to each other. This case wasn't serious but potentially could be.
4) A lesbian couple. They and I communicate very often right now, we discuss all the people around us and my flings. They are in a good relationship and we don't look at each other in sexual or romantic way.
Besides these cases my environment changed overall. I met a lot of cool, interesting young women with a successful career and feminist views.
Also I reflected on my closest friends and noticed that we had mutual affection for our friends, them charm, a cute flaws that were maked us smiling.

I think it's natural as we get older to start seeing other people differently. Growing up in the early 2000s and before that, depending on the country you were in, there were very clear gender roles shown in media and friendships between men and women were not commonly shown in non-western media. (At least in my experience). In a lot of eastern countries even now, friendships between men and women are not really considered a socially acceptable thing unless it's a precursor to romance. So it's natural for someone growing up in that environment to assume that platonic friendships between men and women are not possible.
Personally, I am married and have a lot of both male and female friends. It's not something that I think much about these days.
