Well, I have never had a problem with being friends with females. Infact, majority of my friends are from the opposite gender.

I guess its really upto you, if you think in a positive way, it reflects in your actions. That is what matters.

Brit, if you see the survey questions again, you will also conclude that its the men, who often deviate from the position of just being a friend. So as long as men follow their limits, things don't change. :)
