Can Men and Women Be Friends? Here's How My Italian Colleagues Responded

Haven't you always wondered if different cultures answer questions like this well...differently? Recently, I had the chance (using speaking practice as an excuse) to survey my Italian colleagues and ask them if, in their opinion, men and women could be friends. Here's the results of that survey which involved almost 40 adults between the ages of 25-60.  I'm actually just guessing their ages, but more or less. Are you surprised or not at all? Do you these results could be considered a microcosm? What I found most interesting is that quite a higher percentage of Italian men don't think that men and women can be friends and their reasoning was the obvious one. They all tended to side with Harry in that famous dispute with Sally. If you're unsure what I'm talking about here we should probably stop being friends. Just kidding, I love you all. Happy Friday!
