Opposite Sex Friend Could Sway Your Relationship

Friendships with the opposite sex are normal and in spite of most folks avowing their bond is platonic a new study suggests almost always there exists an attraction between male and female friends.

And, the most common cost of these friendships could be dissatisfaction with current romantic partners, the study has suggested.

Pheromones - Introduction
Pheromones are the wonder chemicals that are known to significantly influence the love chemistry and sexual attraction between a man and woman.

Researchers from University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire also found that in a test group of 400 adults, if there were feelings of attraction expressed from only one member of the friendship, it was most often from the man, Daily Mail reported.

Because platonic inter-sex relationships are a relatively new concept in the history of human evolution, men are still controlled by their mating instincts, says April Bleske-Rechek, the study's lead author.

The study's findings have been reported in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships.

While women were less likely to fancy their friends or assume that the males had those kinds of feelings for them, the study revealed.
