.... ndo mwisho wa kua na marafiki wa jinsia tofauti???
Nauliza kwasababu naona watu hua wanalaani sana msichana mwenye "rafiki" mwanaume aliyeoa au msichana aliyeolewa akiwa na "rafiki" mwanaume.
Upande wa wanaume sijasikia malalamiko sana na nnadhani hii inatokana na zile fikra kuhusiana na "wanawake kua wepesi sana kushawishika pia kishawishi na bila kusahau wanawake kuwa wadhaifu."
Naomba kusema kwamba binafsi sioni tatizo iwapo heshima stahili ipo kwa pande zote na kila mmoja anajua mipaka ya urafiki wao.Mimi nimewahi kua na rafiki aliyeoa na hatukua na matatizo yoyote.Japo sikupata bahati ya kukutana na mke wake ila tulitambulishwa na kujuliana hali mara kadhaa.
Nwy nachojaribu kuonyesha ni kwamba kama kuna urafiki wa kweli bila kua zaidi ya urafiki sioni tatizo la watu wa jinsia tofauti wenye wenza wao kua na marafiki wa jinsia tofauti!!
NN alishaanzisha thread inayoelekea kuafanana na hii. Kwenye thread alitaka kujua if men and women be friends:

Wakati wewe unaangalia kuwa na marafiki wa jinsia nyingine baada ya kuoa/kuolewa, NN simply wanted men and women can actually be friends. Kuna watu waliweka comments nzuri kweli ile thread. Icheki. I will copy and paste my comments here:
"From a broad perspective, there have been dozens of scientific studies and surveyed numbers of people about cross-gender friendships to discover whether these relationships can actually work or not. Also there have been studies listened in on countless discussions with men and women on the issue. Well… there are both sides of the argument.
For many people the idea of a man and a woman being friends is charming, but improbable. "It always leads to something else…" they argue, meaning that the relationship eventually becomes romantic. It is very difficult for a man and woman to have a platonic friendship…normally emotions get in the way and friendship can be ruined by one of the parties starting to get either possessive or jealous…. Will your libido silence while spending pleasant time and having fun and sharing interests and activities, attitudes and values with just a friend of the opposite SEX?...Perhaps NO.
On the other hand, there are those who are seemingly surprised by the question and argue that of course male-female friendships are possible. These people's persuasiveness almost makes the romantic pull of such relationships seem unusual. They ignore it altogether.
So can men and woman be friends? Few relationships issues are that plain and simple. The real answer is "it depends." What do these relationships depend upon? They depend upon how much each person in the relationship is willing to stretch and grow. These friendships, you see, require both men and women to call upon parts of themselves that are usually less accessible when relating to their typical same-sex friends. For a man, a woman who is just a friend allows him to express his more emotional side, to experience his vulnerability, to treat himself and his friend more tenderly than is permissible with male friends. What is typically missing for him in this cross-gender relationship, however, is the kind of rough camaraderie he can have with another man. For a woman, a man who is just a friend helps her express her independent, more reasoned and tougher side - the harder edge that's kept under wraps in relationships with women. The down side for her is the relative absence of emotional reciprocity and intensity she normally shares with a female friend.
So, okay, twist our arms for a NO or YES answer to this question and the answer will be YES. But we will quickly qualify it. Men and women can enjoy friendship together, but not at the same level they do with friends of the same sex."
