I stopped reading at that point as well.

#4researchers brought 88 pairs of undergraduate opposite-sex friends into…a science lab. Ok, so this research has nothing to do with men or women - just horny near-adults.
In a follow-up study, 249 adults (many of whom were married) were asked to list the positive and negative aspects of being friends with a specific member of the opposite sex.
There was a follow-up study, but it doesn't say how much, if any, of the original research was tried again.

>> Males were significantly more likely than females to list romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, and this discrepancy increased as men aged—males on the younger end of the spectrum were four times more likely than females to report romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, whereas those on the older end of the spectrum were ten times more likely to do the same.

#6Ya, I don't buy this. I know this is just my experience, but I've had plenty of "just friends" who were members of the opposite sex, and nothing bad ever happened.

#7Feminism is one of the dumbest things America has ever tried. Thanks to more women and men mixing in the workplace, adultery rates are skyrocketing. The single biggest predictor for adultery, studies show, is proximity. Meaning if you work with a woman you are statistically much more likely to commit adultery with her.
Thankfully this article puts some common sense out there, stating what is obvious. And people ought to quit being so obsessed with getting more women in the work force, because there are a lot of negatives for society when they do. Raising kids is a valuable profession, even if it's uncool

This is what passes as science in 'scientific american'?! There's not a single absolute number reported aside from the laughingly small sample size of 400 adults in a world of 7,000,000,000.

How are you judging that that's a small sample size?

If your bar is that high then you can say that about literally any study. What do you expect, a study involving a million people?!
