Who could be the best friend a Man or a Woman??

What a silly question?
Yes the same was my first thought after seeing the question for the first time. For answer instantaneously my best friends come up in my mind with the obvious answer. And I know most of the people come up with the answer similar to mine as same gender person, be it male or female.
But after a while I realize that the question is not that simple as there can't be any generalized answer as a Male or Female or same sex person.
As in thinking about past few years I realized that with the time my best friends changed, most of the time they were guys but then there was a gal too. And for being a best friend in some of the situations she was much more better than guys. And its not me alone there are some other persons also whom I know having best friends of opposite sex. So its does not really matter whether its HIM or HER but what matters the most is he or she is your friend, BEST FRIEND.
The definition of best friend varies for each one but for me a best friend is
  • Someone with whom you share almost each and everything even it is embarrassing,
  • Someone with whom you can confide with deepest of your secrets which even your family don't know,
  • Someone who will be there forever specially when you need them most,
  • Someone with whom you can comfortably talk anything and everything,
  • Someone with distances never matter,
  • Someone with whom even if you talk after long time you feel the same warmth as you felt in earlier days,
  • Someone who are friend for life time, not just for few months or years,
  • and last but not least someone whom you can trust with your life.
I do have a few of them back from my school time to till now.
Do you have any?
