It all depends on the friend not what sex they are, although, if you are female a male friend can give you insights into the way a males mind works and a males actions that a woman simply wouldn't have thought of.

Basic Truths About Men and Women
Such as how men and women cannot just be friends. It isn't in the cards, because of hormones and genetic programming. The character played by Billy Crystal in the movie When Harry Met Sally was absolutely correct when he told Meg Ryan that men "basically want to jump them, too" (that is, have sex with every woman they meet). Sneakiest are the guys who say they want to be friends (especially those whose advance just was rebuffed). There simply is no such thing.
She also needs to understand that men and women respond to each other differently for a reason: Men fundamentally are polygamous and women monogamous because of the genetic imperative driving all of us to reproduce. You see, it takes only a few minutes for a man to transmit his DNA forward (less, in some cases), but a woman requires 9 months at minimum (and more, to ensure survival). That difference has led to the eternal double standard. Men know what I'm talking about, trust me. Men have to work at marital fidelity a great deal harder than do women. The only thing that saves the vast majority of men is lack of opportunity.

There is no point that opposite sex will understand us completely.In general u will share all the things to the same gender frenz only.BUt lot of execption is also there.There is no theory that this same gender/opposite gender will understand us completely.More over its deprnds on the persons also.

I agree. I find it much better to work with men, to discuss with them, to argue with them and my best friend( never anything romantic between though I was thinking about it once) is male.
have a few female friends but it is just not the same.

i know that to be true out of the friends i have only 3 rilly get me and one of them is a guy i have known since befor i could talk and the other is a gal i have known since kindergarden and the other i also knew since before i could talk. so i think the friends that rilly get you are the ones you are willing to rilly talk to, but in the case of my guy friend it had beed 5 years since i had seen him and he still got me better than any one.

I'd agree. I have several female friends, and we talk on an emotional level.
