Aren't boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses/partners the obvious confounders here? They don't seem to address that point, yet they observe that the "best friend" is usually of the opposite sex. That may be true, but the study seems to be making an argument about "friends," not sexual/romantic partners.

In other words: this paper seems to fail the whiff test.

I'd be much more concerned that it's talking about cell phone usage in a single European country, and tries to make more universal conclusions. Now, it may tell you something about the culture, but to use an evolutionary framework seems to be... a bit of a stretch.

From which country is this data. I cannot find it in the article.

Uhm, best friend(1) = boyfriends/girlfriends/spouses/partner
