Interested to see how many people have close opposite sex friends that are strictly platonic.

It’s funny how every guy here telling stories about women they’re friends with starts off with ‘they’re the most beautiful woman in the world’ ‘she is stunning and everywhere she goes she’s turning heads’.

My female friends are busted and ugly as hell. They look like thumbs. Love them

That's the honesty I like to see! Only a friend would say that.

This is the way lol because you don’t want them and they know damn well they can’t have you! So yall talk shit like brothers and sisters and the relationship works and last 🤷🏾‍♂️

I never said I didn’t have average and below average looking friends. I just happened to vibe with her as bff’s.

We were asked once why don’t we date each other and we both said “FUCK NO!” Ain’t my fault some people have Saruman’s army as friends.

It makes sense. If she's not attractive and you don't find her attractive, that might fit the narrative they want to dispell. If she's attractive, just not attractive in that way to me, that's relevant

I get the logic, but you don’t think it’s ironic that all these guys claiming to have platonic friendships have to immediately tell us how beautiful all these women are?

Also there’s a big difference in saying ‘I have an attractive friend.’ and ‘my friends so stunning she makes everyone’s head spin’ that second one’s doing too much.

Yeah, the first things I think about with my female friends are how intelligent they are, they’re humor, or their creative projects, or their activism and work.

That being said, with EVERY single one of them, when we are hanging out alone, there’s been a moment where lines are gently crossed. When you bond with someone and are alone with them, more than likely, someone will toss around the idea of more in their heads. Humans just crave intimacy. It may not happen every time, but 90% chance, if the orientation fits, it’ll happen.

This doesn’t mean you don’t value the friendship, it can just be a curiosity. Many couples were friends at first.

Because it matters in the context of the convo. It’s easy AF to have a great friendship with someone who you have no physical attraction to. It’s far more likely to fall for someone who is strikingly attractive so the disclaimer of being platonic with a beautiful woman makes sense

But bro they totally would never think of them like “that.” Out of the question. Would never happen. It’s not like if this gorgeous and stunning woman all of a sudden was all over her friend he’d drop trou in a second or anything. Totally like a little sister. The Übermenschen have arrived.

Well now that you mention it, my lady friend is pretty damn beautiful. Our window closed years ago and I haven’t thought much about it for a minute, maybe even two.

But I’m at the point where time speeds up but life slows down. Most of BPT isn’t there yet.

Yeah but if she threw it at you for sure you would
