Of course healthy, well adjusted men and women can have platonic friends. Only desperate, needy and insecure (mostly) men and women, and incestuous creeps think that it’s impossible. To be fair, it’s important to recognize the impact our society has on this issue. Parents don’t raise their boys to have standards and boundaries the way they raise girls. Least of all expectations. Men are not allowed to expect anything of women anymore, despite the persistent overwhelming expectations women have of men. When we raise boys to become men who don’t think every woman is a prize and that we should just feel god blessed if any woman at all likes us, more men can learn to have meaningful friendships with women. When someone has self respect, they are less likely to disrespect others. That starts with standards, boundaries and expectations.
Yes, if I find her physically unattractive, or she is taken, or she wants or has kids, or she doesn't enjoy all of my favorite hobbies, or she isn't an artist, but she is at least a gamer, then I would be platonic friends and play video games with her.
In high school, a lot of my friends were guys. There was nothing going on between us except that we were friends. People certainly thought there was something going on between me and one of my guy friends because we would hug a lot and sometimes hold hands, but there was absolutely nothing going on.
How many times has this been posted in the last day or two?
Yes, they can be friends. Most of my friends are male and always have been. Just because some guys are too immature to be friends with a woman doesn't make it untrue.
Yeah, but Only if the girl doesn't find the guy attractive.. and I mean both physically and personality wise.. If she's only attracted to him on one department she could handle it and it should be fine.. although she might still hit on him when she feels sad and lonely 🤣..
it' ridiculous to say men and women can't be friends, by that logic a bisexual person can't be friends with ANYONE, it's so outdated, unless there were feelings or sex involved there's no real reason to say people can't be just friends
Ended up getting into a new level even after whave to be honest and I didn't have any luck finding a good friend that I really liked I knew I wanted more, she said she was going to try and wait until you were getting a big and really hard on. I said it was hard. I was in the bed with her having her her over and she said that I was in love.
Yes, I believe so. My best friend in high school was a guy and everybody thought that we were dating. We were always together but we never had romantic feelings for each other.
Clearly yes. Not for any particular reason other than I have lots of friends who are women. Some are friends of my wife, and others I've known for a very long time.
Yes you don’t have to be in a relationship with a guy but people will call you out and be like “oh you are dating” like nope we are friends and that’s all we will be
In my experience, no. Some will catch feelings and complications will occur. This always happens. Always. I have other reasons to not have any female friends. But I won't get into those reasons here.
Absolutely. But that doesn’t mean there never any any sexual attraction. I sound like a broken record, but you can’t overcome biology. You just handle it better.
