Interesting article about why men and women can't be "just friends"

Did any of you read this old (2012) article from the Scientific American? Granted, the study had a low number of participants, but I still find it depressingly fascinating.

Some of the results:

• "Men were much more attracted to their female friends than vice versa."
• "Men were also more likely than women to think that their opposite-sex friends were attracted to them."
• "In fact, men’s estimates of how attractive they were to their female friends had virtually nothing to do with how these women actually felt, and almost everything to do with how the men themselves felt—basically, males assumed that any romantic attraction they experienced was mutual, and were blind to the actual level of romantic interest felt by their female friends."
• "Men were also more willing to act on this mistakenly perceived mutual attraction." 

"In a follow-up study, 249 adults (many of whom were married) were asked to list the positive and negative aspects of being friends with a specific member of the opposite sex."

Some of those results:

• "Males were significantly more likely than females to list romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, and this discrepancy increased as men aged—males on the younger end of the spectrum were four times more likely than females to report romantic attraction as a benefit of opposite-sex friendships, whereas those on the older end of the spectrum were ten times more likely to do the same." <emphasis mine>

In short: "Although women seem to be genuine in their belief that opposite-sex friendships are platonic, men seem unable to turn off their desire for something more."

What are your impressions of this?
