Science proves that men & women can't be friends

Men and Women Can't Be "Just Friends": Scientific American

Can heterosexual men and women ever be “just friends”? Few other questions have provoked debates as intense, family dinners as awkward, literature as lurid, or movies as memorable. Still, the question remains unanswered. Daily experience suggests that non-romantic friendships between males and females are not only possible, but common—men and women live, work, and play side-by-side, and generally seem to be able to avoid spontaneously sleeping together. However, the possibility remains that this apparently platonic coexistence is merely a façade, an elaborate dance covering up countless sexual impulses bubbling just beneath the surface.

Nobody knew that Willy Gilligan didn't ever look at MaryAnn Summers or Ginger Grant and think, 'The possibilities!' You know he did.

I would have to agree with the subject, its our natural instinct to mate, friends or not, I like the go butt ugly comment, a good deterent, but then again that is why we have paper bags and light switches to flip off.
