Why can ‘t men and women just be friends? There are some men I feel closer to then women, and I can open up to freely about my life and struggles... but it always turns out weird...
"Friends" is a peer relationship. Many men do not see women as their peers; they prefer their traditional role as the higher status person. They would, as they see it, lose power by having a woman friend with no chance at the "benefits." Also, many women cannot have a strong long term friendship with a man without letting it turn romantic. Closeness brings out their bonding hormones.
Because ,they are biologically wired to like women as a romantic/sex partner. You can be pals, but forming a close emontional bond to man, usually leads to the man falling in love with you. People do want to pretend that ain't so, but unfortunitly, it is.

And vice versa too
