I mean I do think you cute but I wouldn't disrespect you or nun. This is the perfect example of a man finding a woman attractive and still being just friends with her

The older you get, the more you realize how dumb and false this kind of thinking is. The problem is a lot of people who try to be friends, constantly do things together that friends don't and shouldn't do and that's when it gets sticky. If you are a grown adult and can set boundaries you can be friends with as many people of the opposite sex as you want.

Idk what you are talking about. One of my best friends is a man. He is my friend. He has a wife and all. I do respect his relationship because that is what friends do. It's been strictly platonic for 10+ years.

Ya'll keep confusing being sidelined for friendship...which is odd

What do you mean by this? ..... if a man and a woman can't chill and be trusted then it's not a friendship.

You don’t have to be a simp and change the bytches oil and do each other’s nails. Just be cool with the chick and fukk when it’s your turn

It depends on how loose your definition of friend is, if you in a relationship, and what stage of life you at. Now that I’m in a relationship and graduated from college, my only real female friends are my homie’s partners. My girl shut all that other shyt down.

It’s about options, if it’s Saturday night and I have to choose between:

Option A: have dinner with an attractive, funny, and intelligent girl who doesn’t like me romantically
Option B: have dinner with an attractive, funny, and intelligent girl that wants to jump my bones after we eat

I’m choosing Option B. If Option A isn’t helping me make money or improve my status/business/work then there is no reason for us to hang out because Option B gives me everything she does PLUS sex.

‘Women want to craft the narrative that men who don’t want platonic friendships are immature but really it’s just that the value proposition just ain’t there Your personality ain’t unique, I can find a chick just likes you and we’ll laugh giggle and dance but she’ll also give me a blow job in the car...go solicit attention from the dude you wanna smash...leave me alone.

Realest post in this thread.

My only female friends are my coworkers and women my boys are messing with/dating or someone im doing business with

Imagine a girl friendzoning me and me going along with it

I had to dead some of those friendly connections. There are pros and cons to being a good listener.

Women would call me to vent about trivial shyt for 50 minutes, interrupting my evening.....and they got a guy, a whole guy.

They won't come at him because they know he's not trying to hear that nonsense.....but he's still reaping the rewards and getting to smash on the regular.

‘I check the dictionary for the meaning of friend
It said: person, one who likes to socialize with
Sympathiser, helper, and that's about the size of it
Most of the time these attributes is one-sided’

This applies to all relationships. And when you remove all the people who ‘want something’ it’s gonna be a small pile left regardless of if they’re men or women.

You killed your whole entire argument with the bolded sentence.

Platonic friends do everything EXCEPT engage in intimacy and/or sexual acts. If you are placing additional restrictions e.g. "No drinking at the bar past 10PM", "no hanging out at each other's place" or etc it's because you are limiting your engagements with the opposite sex to situations where your true feelings are less likely to manifest.

So your assertion that maturity makes way for these types of relationships is not valid because you yourself admitted that if you don't place additional restrictions on your interactions "it gets sticky". The subtext being that "if you hang out too much with your opposite sex friend, you'll end up wanting to fukk" which is something agree with and also why many of us are saying that male/female platonic friendships are not viable.

I personally think it would have been more accurate if you classified these opposite sex individuals as "acquaintances" because you clearly are placing boundaries on them that you're not placing on your same sex friends.

I have some really close female friends, and it’s pretty easy for me.
I think men and women go into these “Friendships” with ulterior motives, and it devolves into fukkery.
I’ve never been in the friend zone because I’ve never allowed it, I make my intentions clear from jump, and if I brick I keep it moving. “We can be friends though.” Is always met with a swift “No”, and I’m on my way.

Are you cool with the wife?

I haven't meet her formally yet because he moved outta state awhile ago. I was invited to the wedding which I couldn't make and we briefly chatted over the phone though.
