Through my role as a runner I was unable to ask questions to the lookers who were communicating the design of Iggy. I could ask for more specifics on color‚ size‚ shape etc. but could only run

Can men and women ever be “just friends”? After reading an article with scientific research about this topic I have come to a conclusion. Daily experience suggests that non-romantic friendships between males and females are not only possible‚ but common.
