So how is that disproving that there are people who believe that men and women cannot have platonic relationships with one another?

I mean, the concept shouldn't even be that foreign - it's actually a very common school of thought. It's the basic premise of pretty much every romantic comedy ever made.

There's a whole series of articles on Slate.com about it recently. Male-female friendships are actually relatively new as far as our society goes.

Think about it this way, if someone's in a romantic (heterosexual) relationship, is it appropriate for them to share a hotel room with a friend of the opposite sex? What about the same sex?

Why do you think that 9/10 times the answer is different?

I actually was thinking of that series. It's not ended yet, right?
