        @paulg At least one opposite-sex friend out of top 3 friends: 14% (6th grade), 16% (7th grade), 21% (8th grade) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2929664/ …

        @paulg Also, opposite-sex friendships may be different qualitatively (less help, loyalty, acceptance, intimacy) http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/BF00288037 …

        Maybe a Facebook graph search “@paulg: Does anyone know of studies on the percentage of people's friends of the same vs opposite sex?”

        @paulg a simple FB app may be more accurate/organic than survey. I suppose age, location matters and then there are anomalies 'hugh hefner'

        @paulg usual question is 'can one be just friends with opposite sex'. Studies suggest no. But epidemiological studies should be suspect.
