 So here’s the thing: Wincy has few to zero female friends. Cj has more male friends than female friends. What gives? Could it be the result of studying in exclusive Catholic schools? More importantly, what are platonic relationships anyway? In this episode, we ask ourselves: Can guys and girls be friends, without sexual attraction taking over?
