from person p
inner join friend f
on p.id=f.id and p.gender='m' and f.fid in
(select id from person where gender='f')

Answer / manub22

- GROUP BY clause works on the rows returned by a SELECT Query. This clause summaries identical rows into a single/distinct group and returns a single row with the summary for each group, by using appropriate Aggregate function in the SELECT list, like COUNT(), SUM(), MIN(), MAX(), AVG(), etc.

- HAVING clause works as a Filter on top of the Grouped rows returned by the Query containing the GROUP BY clause. This clause cannot be replaced by a WHERE clause and vice-versa.
