Raises hand & waves it in the air frantically!  Yes, I had more male
friends than female from about 7th grade (age 12/13) on.  My 2 best male
friends from jr high & high school were attendants in my wedding.  I
also had & have close female friendships, but my male best friends have
been more consistently a part of my life I would say.  I've been friends
with them for more than half my life now.  I don't think either that it
was *that* rare.  I know lots of women who had close male friends in
that time period & are my generation & earlier.
