老年妇女缺乏男性朋友的规范性解释表明，跨性别的友谊被定义为浪漫，有规范抑制在老年浪漫，和其他规范鼓励他们拒绝潜在的伴侣谁可以不再满足传统的性别角色的要求。这些数据来自于对70名居住在芝加哥郊区中产阶级的未婚白色老年妇女的深入采访和观察。可以预期，未来的老年女性群体，在她们生命的早期就接触到了非浪漫的跨性别友谊模式，在老年时会有更多的这种友谊。
A normative explanation for elderly women's lack of male friends is developed by showing that cross-sex friendship is defined as romance, that there are norms inhibiting romance during old age, and that other norms encourage them to reject potential mates who can no longer meet traditional sex role demands. The data were derived from in-depth interviews and observations of 70 non-married, white, elderly women who lived in a middle-class Chicago suburb. It can be expected that future cohorts of elderly women who will have been exposed to models of non-romantic cross-sex friendships early in their lives will have more of these friendships during old age.
