Can men have female friends

So here's the problem with having female

friends is that if you have a female

friend, the likelihood that a man

develops romantic feelings for female

friends is very high. So this is another

huge issue that we have as men. So I

just saw a interesting study that came

out that takatubo cardiomyopathy is

twice as likely or more in men than

women. And this is like dying of a

broken heart is something called

takatubo cardiomyopathy. There's a lot

of studies that show that literally like

the blood pressure changes, the cortisol

changes, the inflammation changes in men

are far greater than women after a

breakup. 69% of divorces are initiated

by women. People may think that means

31% are initiated by men. That's not

true. 15% of divorces are initiated by

men. 15% of divorces are mutual. So

here's the key problem is that with men,

when we form an emotional bond with

someone, we equate that to romance. We

are not regularly forming emotional

bonds without romantic or sexual

connections unless they are parts of our

nuclear family. So then what happens is

we don't know that like you don't have

to get the combo meal. You can order

just the fries and just the drink

without having the hamburger. We don't

know how to do that. We've been ordering

combo meals our whole life.
