Are men and women really not allowed to be friends on a non-intimate level? Does introducing myself to a woman immediately imply that I want to seduce her? I wish that weren’t the case. I feel in many ways I relate and have more interests in common with women, and no, I am not a homosexual, or any modern label, just a normal guy.
