	Description:		Maybe you’ve used the phrase yourself: "It’s purely platonic." Plato would not be impressed.

She is the author of the book Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make – and Keep – Friends. Something is happening to men that’s leading them to have fewer friends than women.
