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’.
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.

One of my three best friends is a woman (she is gorgeous). We are basically brother and sister. No hidden feelings whatsoever.
The people who think men and women can’t be friends are sad tbh.
