Oh nobody's arguing the fact that they DO exist, just the fact that they're rarer than believed (the true true kind) I have "platonic" relationships at work, and platonic relationships with customers, but still, and running the risk of sounding egotistical (and I'm not, just speaking realistically), that's for all I know only on MY side of the issue.
You have to understand that for about 90% of the population, sex IS the underlying factor in almost EVERY relationship, even in who we pick as friends. Women may try to befirend more attractive women to attract more attractive men, or befriend a few not-so pretty girls to go out with so they look better by comparison. Men may join team sports and hang out with atheletes to attract a certain kind of girl, or, just like women, befriend uglier counterparts to make themselves look even better. Exceptions don't prove the rule, mind you, but that doesn't mean they don't exist :)
