		<description><![CDATA[Can women and men ever be friends? This is an old-age question and everyone has a different view on it. I agree with Billy Crystal&#8217;s character in  the movie &#8220;When Harry Met Sally,&#8221; who famously said, &#8220;Men and women can&#8217;t be friends &#8230; the sex  [or attraction] part always gets in the way.&#8221;
