answer:Welcome to the the world of women who like to hang out with guys without it getting all weird and shit. I wish I had a simple answer, but I think the best thing is to find a thing to do that interests you, and then do it, and make friends organically with people who enjoy things you like. They could be male, female, gay, straight, whatever… if it’s a platonic friendship you’re looking for, it doesn’t matter. Chat rooms are not awesome places to build lasting friendships, unless they’re restricted-membership type ones that have a good base of regular, active users. Myspace chat used to be really good for that once upon a time. But even then, we were all just chatting partners, not really “friends”. When the chat portion of the site was obliterated we all lost contact with each other.
