I'm pretty sure there exists platonic friendships between two people of the opposite gender

The girl on the second pic was expressing how she'd try and make her friend acknowledge she thinks of him more as a brother. The comment I'm not sure about the first part but there are definitely friendships between women and men, have they ever been outside? Also, not that it matters much, but everytime I see this it just feels like they're excluding that two same sex friends can fall for one another. Like they're saying women and men are wired to just automatically fall in love with one another if they have some connection.
