But did they?
- sudosteph 9y agoWell, they started sitting at tables with people of the opposite sex at least. By that measurement at least, I presumed so.

- ikeyany 9y agoThat's true. Originally I had the " men and women can't be good friends unless there's an ulterior motive" line you see in adulthood.
- badosu 9y agoWell, is there friendship without an ulterior motive at all?
- reitanqild 9y agoOf course. That's one of the main points of real friends.
- badosu 9y agoWhat you call 'real' friends maybe are friends to which you assign a high value due to cooperative behaviour that's sustainable long term. As soon as this behaviour expectation is broken, you'd probably not consider them 'real' friends.
- opportune 9y agoYou can self-select yourself away from them. Most people probably don't grow out of that by high school, but then most people aren't worth your time anyway
- kpil 9y agoNo. I'm living in Sweden. The cultural elite and the whole country behaves like a insecure high-school class where everyone is anxiously watching what everyone else is doing, what's 'right' and what's 'out'. We are extremely conformist. The topic of immigration and integration is obvious, but also extreme feminism, environmental issues is on the list. People even dress the same.
