    12 - Can Men and Women Really "Just be Friends?" with Spencer Curtis

    Send us Fan MailThe controversy around whether or not men and women can "just be friends" has been around for longer than I can remember. TV shows and movies growing up made it seem like every friend group that included boys and girls would all but guarantee a will-they-won't-they relationship between at least 2 people in the friend group. The speculation runs DEEP as to whether or not men and women can be just friends, and luckily for me, one of my very best friends just happens to be a man--and we think now is the perfect time to unlock the mysteries of male-female friendships.
