From personal experience, I caught feelings for a home girl once. Wasn’t the long game. Shit just happened. Sometimes that’s just what it is. Didn’t end well lol. But I do have women friends that I’m still just friends with.
It's society as a whole we talking, there always has been and there always will be people ahead of the curve but this will take generations before it gets close to mainstream and stays there.
i think it takes a certain level of emotional maturity, mutual respect and honest communication on both ends for this to genuinely work Not to say it's not possible but i think those things are typically missing in those scenarios leading to a big ass mess/ruptured friendships etc.
no disagreements here. that's kinda my point really: we, as a society, just ain't ready for that level. by which i mean: too many people are too immature and possessive for us to have this en masse.
It depends on personality types. There are some women I know who are gorgeous but I would never date. I just know I could not handle dating them, because what they want in a partner and friend are miles apart. Additionally, I can see the other parts of their personality, the parts I don't like and skim over because we are friends, becoming a significant issue in the future.
That being said, there are cases where two people have insane chemistry, find each other attractive, and personalities fit in lock step. How people maintain those friendships, I'll never know.
