Are male friendships as emotionally deep as female ones? Can men and women really just be friends? And what happens when friendship lines get blurry? 👀

In this episode of Dirty Mocktail Hour, we dive into the fascinating (and sometimes messy) world of friendship dynamics between men and women. From communication styles and emotional expectations to cultural norms and personal boundaries, we ask the big questions:

✨ How does vulnerability show up in male vs. female friendships?

✨ Why do some friendships end—and can they ever recover?

✨ What’s the deal with jealousy in cross-gender friendships?

We also discuss the book Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make—and Keep—Friends by Dr. Marisa G. Franco, which unpacks the psychology of friendship through the lens of attachment theory.

Join the conversation as we share personal stories, ask uncomfortable questions, and explore what it really means to be a good friend—regardless of gender.
