Reasons that the straight girl-gay guy relationship works so well both on- and offscreen can range drastically. But according to Jennifer Gray, Ph.D., a New York City psychologist who focuses on issues pertaining to human sexuality, it’s hard to find a female high school or college student who hasn’t experienced drama with a frenemy at one point or another. “Friendships between girls are often fraught with competition, whether it’s over looks, weight, boyfriends, or clothes,” she explains.<\/p>\n
“But there is little underlying competition between young women and gay guys, which can often make for a stronger, more trusting relationship.” Gray says it can also be hard for many girls, particularly ones in high school, to have platonic relationships with heterosexual guys. “A lot of teenagers don’t feel comfortable around members of the opposite sex, and the friendships can get complicated,” she says. “It can also be hard to have a friend relationship at that age without one person developing some kind of feelings for the other.”<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
