Can Men and Women Be Platonic Friends! - Page 4

I guess there are a few exceptions, some guy's who can maintain a friendly relation ship with a girl...

Well yes. I think men and women can be just platonic friends. When you are a friend with the opposite sex dont think like ok so he is boy so should behave differently with him Just be yourself and treat him like you would do any other friend. Its the society and people who make us think that there is some thing wrong in befriending a person of the opposite sex. But i would say better not listen to them and do what u feel like! :P

Every day millions of people across the world interact with people of the opposite gender on friendly, professional and familial basis. People with regular healthy social interactions can interact with people of both genders on a friendly casual basis. Most normal people are discerning about relationships and can maintain long term platonic but friendships with both genders. Of course crushes, attractions, affections do take place but it does not always have to transcend into non-platonic relationships.

 

It usually is the repressed or desperate who always tend to see some sort of sexual or novelty perspective in the opposite gender and believe that the eventual outcome of continued interactions has to be a non-platonic relationship.

all you mentioned in the first paragraph is prelude to a tango.. leading to sounds of night...... there is nothing like platonic... its the charade people engage in since they can't ask opposte for S*x right away at the risk of sournding crass and getting outcast...etc..!!!

I believe friendship is possible if they totally free frm all bondage of society, culture, civilization, only living true to their authentic nature....friendship is so valuable tht whatsoever the consequence, remain friends even with ur gf/bf,ur wife, even with your husband, and allow absolute and total freedom to each other...

Why question men and women being platonic when we are seeing men and men / women and women not being platonic any longer?

Those people, dont know abt friendship, they give different names...If we check hostory or holy books, lots of gr8 friendship stories there eg.Sudama & Lord Krishna's and Pht. Mohammed also have lots of friends,Pht keen to make everyone feel that he was close to him. He was always ready to do for his friends and companions whatever they needed to be done..and even Jesus said b4,a true friend will tell us when we are wrong.

 

Another thing is,nobody can be a friend here unless the ego disappears.... Once the ego disappears the whole life has a quality of friendship, of love. Then you are friendly, simply friendly ...😊

think about the bold part again.... the only think possible there is s*x!!! We are never born to be friends... we are taught to be friends.. remember the mommy lessons on sharing and being nice... 😛
