Search Results: always want it

I was recently talking to a friend about our upcoming plans for Halloween, part of which involve handing out candy to the neighborhood kids. I was telling her I always gave out snickers, blow pop lollipops, m&m's, etc. and stuff I liked as a kid. She looked at me shocked and said I should stop doing that because kids have allergies and you don't want to give them something with nuts or other allergens.

I have never in my life not given away chocolate or candy with nuts on Halloween. I'm not these kids parents. They are coming to my house for FREE treats. If their parents are bothered by this, their parents should not allow trick or treating or be going through their stash and tossing out things they can't eat or giving them to the ones who can. Who's right?

Am I the only one who thinks this has a high chance of being a recipe for disaster waiting to happen? We can pretend to live in a fair fantasy world all we want, but the truth is that most male and female friendships aren't 100% platonic. Usually at least one of the two develops feelings or at least a crush for the other, and I'm sure that most of us have experienced this with the majority of our friendships of the opposite sex. For me, many (NOT all) of my male friends had liked me at some point for example and I even had to end some friendships because they wanted more than I could offer.

So this brings me back to my point, how fair or wise would it be to make new friends of the opposite sex once you're in a committed relationship? It's not even just about trust (even though I do believe in trust but not blind trust) but the fact that no relationship is perfect and during difficult relationship moments it could become easy for some think that the grass is greener on the other side and even if they don't act out on it, cheating isn't always sexual. Keeping friends you already knew is one thing, but making new ones seems kind of sus... I don't know 🤷‍♀️

But I'm open to different opinions, even if I don't share them. How do you see it?

I've heard of bullies always going for someone weaker that can't physically fight you back and they're seen as cowards.

How about if the bully is weaker than the victim? The victim has the capacity of knocking out the bully if they wanted to but doesn't want to. The bully knows you don't have the guts and takes fully advantage of the situation, even of your morals. Is that bully also a coward?
