genuine platonic friendships with women?

[patric12]

not even possible. there is always "sexual" elements in the relationship.

sorry, that is the reality.

You won't start a relationship with any of them because they are not sexually attractive.

However, if you met them in the course of your daily life and they were kind, helpful and considerate and helped you in many ways, a genuine friendship would develop but you'd have no urge to fuck them because they're so damned ugly.

That, by definition, is a platonic relationship.

Some may say YES it's possible and some may say NO it's not possible. I guess this is a matter of heart, when feeling creep in, you don't blame anyone. Be it man or woman, ugly or pretty make no difference.

thank u boss! got the logic
if there is some attraction, men don't want a platonic relationship.

usually I am not surprise a personal friend wants a hug. this guy is someone I know in my work circle, so interactions are just work/business, to jump from work topic to i wana hug is quite shocking...

Actually, I have.

It is not that they are not attractive. But

1. We do not like to idea of having a FB, so if body contact means lover relationship (they are not selling).

2. We have different character and will not make a good life companion.

Hence, we can have 1-1 diner plus coffee session for hours, share the same bow of ice-cream and yet did not even hold hands.

In fact, I think it is my luck to have friends like that. Without the body contact, we have much higher respect to each others' privacy and opinions and our gatherings are normally very enjoyable. They filled part of the my loneliness.

From your posts, I get the impression that your POV is that non platonic relationships is to be avoided?

I believe that platonic is really zero. As long as there is an attraction, to progress is only natural. I believe that building deep relationships is a good thing, but that's just my POV and am not advocating this to others.

My point is, non platonic relationships NEED NOT be a bad thing. It's confusing, heartbreaking, but as long as everyone is mature about it, focusing on the big picture.. there is a lot of positive attributes. Take a step back and understand other cultures, the Sg School of Thought may not lead to a happy society.
