Do you believe in Platonic Relationships between man & woman? - Click HERE for Original Thread

Quick definition:
quote:
Platonic love in its modern popular sense is a non-sexual affectionate relationship, especially in cases where one might easily assume otherwise. A simple example of platonic relationships is a deep, non-sexual (overtly romantic) friendship

Terry, have you been sitting on the shitter pondering life again...? :p

Whenever I hear of platonic relationships, I can't help but think back to Three's Company:

One of Jack's frequently used quotes when explaining their living conditions "Its strictly platonic!"

Even if they dont admit it, someone is always going to feel something about the other person. So one person may see it as platonic but the other wont to differing degrees. It may not be outright im in love with you, but the guy might see potential in the women or the women might daydream about a relationship "what if" with the guy.

Two examples:

Girl and a guy, they hang out and chat, and the girl thinks the guy and herself are just platonic because he doesnt treat her like other guys do, and she thinks he is her best friend. Meanwhile he is in love with her and if he's a nutjob probably has a shrine in his house to bits of her hair that he stole from her comb when she wasnt looking (worst case haha). Sorry I just finished watching that family guy episode where Peter locates his prom date lol.

The other example would be a Guy who hangs out with a chick that is below his league, be it fugly or large or w.e. They get along great because the guy thinks he has a female companion that he isnt attracted to, but loves the dialouge etc etc and enjoys the female aspect without the akwardness of having a super hot bombshell who he might feel fidgety about. Meanwhile the chick in this "platonic relationship" see's this great looking guy hanging out with her, and giving her attention, and even if she wont openly admit it, she feels an attraction to him. She might even save pieces of his skin for her collection (lol had to make it fair on both sides, chicks can be creepy too).

Thanks,
Dr.Phil

Thats some funny shit.

Anyways no straight guy ever has a platonic relationship because he wants to bone any chick he can find. If you are gay or have no dick then I see the platonic shit working for you. Just tell her you love her Terry instead of asking our opinions on this stuff. But be cautioned; if you say the L word then most likely your sex life will take a dramatic turn for the worst.

I say yes...

I have my wife, which is obviously not a platonic relationship... Then i have some female friends like a lady who I used to work with at a bar... she calls me her dealer (computer stuff) no sexual or even physcal(hugging, etc) going on there.

I dunno call me wierd, but for the most part I find women make better friends than guys...

As soon as you enter the friend zone, platonic hits you right in the nuts.

I only can be with ugly chicks, but even then, a few drinks I'll still wanna tag them.

i have a friendship like that. she is my best friend. sure at one point in my life i thought about tagging it, but that was years ago right after i met her. then i got married and then divorced.

it was funny, one of the things that my ex-wife brought up was that i was fucking around with her because i would talk to her at work. maybe that was my chance? hahahah no.

i believe in it.

Fazda
well there are alot of girls out there im friends with that i would tag if i didn't have a girlfriend. lol

Realistic
Chris Rock said it best
I bleieve it went something like..

There are girls we've fucked.. And girls we haven't fucked... YET.

If you end up with a platonic friend.. you fucked up somewhere along the lines and ended up in the friends zone.

But as soon as the opportunity arises... yeah...



ahah something like that
