I remember answering something to this effect on a psychological test
battery when I interviewed several years ago with the "Government". 
I don't know whether that was the "right" answer, but I was offered
the job. 

More to the point, do you (out there) really believe that? I'd like to,
but I can honestly admit that I never treat male and female friends
(friends at the same level of intimacy) exactly the same. I try to, but
there seem to be, for example, certain topics or activities that are reserved 
for one group or the other that needn't be: career discussions, personal
problems, personal views. 

Any comments, or am I really just reacting to different levels of closeness
in friendships.
