There's no example of platonic friendships anywhere because degenerate shippers weren't bullied off the internet.
No.
It's only platonic as long as the woman wants to be platonic, which means it was never platonic at all.
attractive men have female friends, i know because i am one. ive met women that share my interests but arent physically attractive to me. i have options so i dont need to sleep with them. sure they let me know they are dtf but i ignore it and we just go on as friends. some women are cool, you guys should try friendship with them
yeah I do too, but I would frick any one of them given the chance
Go and ask Cinemaphile.
You can't be friends with a person who bleeds each month wtihout being a fighter
???
>platonic female/male relationships
That’s what female family members are for. Men and women aren’t built to be close friends. You want to frick them and/or get in a relationship with them
Interracial friendship in 90s/00s start of the 10s shows are pretty good examples, you were always 100% sure they were never going to frick, even when they were naked in the same room
Men and women can’t be completely platonic friends. Every female “friend” I’ve ever had I would’ve fricked given the chance
this... and it's not sexist to admit it
i'm sure many chicks are shocked and upset to find out that pretty much all their hetero guy friends are "interested but not pursuing"
I thought they did a pretty good job of making Captain America and Black Widow become fairly close friends in the Winter Soldier.
Ah yes, I also usually kiss and flirt with my close friends
Well the kiss was spy shit and yes they used a little sexual tension just for the movie's entertainment value, but I think they were just acknowledging that yes both characters are attractive. What made it good is that it all tied into the movie's theme: Black Widow is being playful about Cap's rigid, stick-in-the-mud nature and his black and white view of morality. Cap starts off by being extremely cagey and closed off around Widow because he mistrusts her and the entire idea of spycraft and people who are willing to accept the morally grey area. Over the course of the picture, they come to trust each other more and work together better because they both come to understand a little bit more of the other person's world view. As far as 'platonic' connections go where male and female characters become 'friends' and 'allies' but without really any love connection, I think it was fairly well executed and a strong point in the movie because the two characters were good foils of one-another w/ regard to the overarching theme.
How did you miss the more obvious one?
Drax and Mantis also have something special without it being romantic or sexual.
I agree, and I thought of Widow and Clint as well, but I felt that the Cap/Widow relationship was better realized because it wasn't just implied through dialogue, it was expressly shown and was tied up in the central theme of the movie that established it:
God I forgot how fricking stupid Jeremey Renner looked in this movie
Cap and Widow had a great dynamic in WS and were the obvious romantic partnership moving forward. The idealist/cynic interaction worked and the actors had good chemistry.
Pairing her with Hulk was just Whedon doing his whole meme romance thing he always does.
except they literally set up the Sharon carter relationship for cap IN winter soldier because cap and widow was never a romantic thing. Him coming to trust widow is sort-of proxy for him being able to forgive Sharon for being an undercover shield agent.
her with Hulk was just Whedon doing his whole meme romance thing he always does.
She's an emotionally dead superspy. Her relationship with Banner is literally Nick Fury finding a way to put a leash on the fricking Hulk. That's why she was the agent sent to find Banner in the first place. It's why they had a lot of screen time together in The Avengers. It's why right after she kisses Banner in ultron, she pushes him to what would be a fatal fall because she's sorry, but they need the Hulk rn.
Widow and Clint being the ones who have to face down for the soul stone seems like confirmation of this. Clint loves his wife and children "the most" but at that time they are already dead... What does Widow love most? If she could theoretically get the soul stone if Clint were to die, then does that mean she loves him more than Banner?
The Banner thing barely even started before it died again. A fling does not make up for a friend you've had for decades and literally been to war with. Love doesn't always have to be romantic you sperg
It’s only possible between mentor and master and the age gap has to be substantial enough where the male is either no longer interested in romantic affairs or is bound to his family enough to reject anything that could be considered beyond platonic. Single men spending time with any none family women will 100% slide into sexualization and denying it is utter cope. Men and women aren’t meant to form a brotherhood or kinship
I'm getting friendzoned by a girl, the other day she uncommitedly accepted to eat with me but canceled with her pre prepared excuse.
Is it worth it to keep insisting or should I just give it up?
Give up, it's an absolute waste of time. It should only take up to a few days for a woman to be interested in you, beyond that it's all friendzone.
Is it still true for highly traditional women? The ones who do not have any male friend and barely ever a boyfriend.
No. It should be painfully obvious if she's interested in you. You can't nice guy your way out of the friendzone unless she gets very fat.
a truly platonic relationship between a man and a woman is usually out of the question, unless the guy is a gay or something.
don't waste your time.
Dude get the frick outta there. Quick.
No big dramatic declerations.
No big ending.
Just stop replying to her texts and don't pick up her phone calls.
Move on, be happier.
Tell her off before never seeing her again.
stupid, inexperienced men believe that there exists a singular spectrum spanning acquaintance to lover. they believe their position is fluid and is dictated by their actions or lack thereof. as stated earlier, these people are idiots. the truth of the matter is that women decide whether or not a man is a romantic or non-romantic interest very, very quickly and the man is stuck within that category for the rest of their relationship (the exceptions prove the rule to any of you "WELL ACKSHUALLY" morons).
to borrow from a gnome and to put it visually, naive men believe that pursuing a woman is akin to a mountain to climb. the reality is that there are two separate mountains and their respective summits provide distinctly separate rewards.
>should I just give it up?
Yes. Quit being a beta orbiter and kick that b***h to the curb. If you want a relationship with a chick, be up front about it, and toss them aside as soon as they demonstrate they don't want the same thing. Don't give them your attention unless they earn it, and they don't earn it by simply existing.
stick with it man. i mean you never know, right?
Have you told her how you feel about her?
If not, at least try putting your cards on the table before bailing.
If she doesn't bring any value to the table and you don't find the time spent with the person to be rewarding just drop them. You can't spend time with everyone and you have to figure out who to prioritize time with
Alright this is gonna be anecdotal of the highest order, but the only way out is to be willing to distant yourself for long periods of time and work on yourself until she reevaluates you in a different context.
But you're going to have to accept that who she is right now might also become unrecognizable by that time and there's the nonzero possibility she might be taken by someone else by then.
>t. got out of oneitis's friendzone after 2 years out of contact
Start talking with another girl in front of her and she will suck you off
"As a man, you don’t need closure.
A girl either wants to frick you or she doesn’t.
A long, emotional conversation will not change this fact.
Girls, however, need to put a man they are dumping into a desexualized box
and wrap a pretty bow of closure around it.
By participating in the closure process you are helping her tie the bow around your desexualized fate."
Move on. Say or do nothing.
Move on.
This
works more often than you'd think. It worked for me, and I realized it after the fact lmao
take one of her friends out instead.
Maybe she knows, she's had clues that she choose to ignore. Even though she knows she's prefer to go on like before, as a friend nothing more. If you come out and tell her, she might close the door.
Absolutely get out. All she's doing is getting free attention from you without returning anything.
It's anonymous so be real: you wanted to frick every single female friend you ever had. And no, being polite to your GFs/wives ugly friends isn't friendship.
I've had female friends I didn't want to frick but that's mostly because they were ugly and/or unwhashed
>I've had female friends
No you didn't. You had female acquaintances, not friends.
No, they'd totally take a bullet for me or talk me out of a rut. True brothers.
Did you hang out with them alone?
Maybe
is right and I wasn't actually that close to them, the only girl I've ever been close to was one who friendzoned me
No, they always brought a friend along with them
Community has plenty.
>platonic friendship
You mean beta orbiters, right? Men don't make "friends" with women, they're just nice to them because they want to frick them, or because they're just being polite.
reminder women know whether or not they want to frick you within a couple of seconds of first meeting you. that is all that matters. everything else is cope.
At work I manage a team and there are 5 women in it. I'd consider myself friends with 3 of them and I'd frick 2 of those 3. So there is one girl I'm friends with but wouldn't frick...the smallest proportion of the group. It's possible just rare I guess.
If a woman sees you as a friend, that means she doesn’t think you’re good enough to date or frick. Why would you want to be friends with someone like that?
cuz i'm not insecure and i like her company, i'm assuming? (never been in that sitch 2bh)
What's the appeal? Every opinion a woman has is either mainstream slop she replicated from social media/Hollywood or she is replicating traits from her last boyfriend.
Just be friends with the boyfriend at that point, you are more likely to get exposure to novel ideas/bands/materials/skills etc than going through said woman.
>no more movies or bf
She has AIDS, right?
Who would seriously date a woman who has videos of her getting train run on her rectum, covered in jizz and her head shoved into a toilet while getin ass fricked.
I see you're quite a scholar
I'm guessing guys who were molested but for whatever reason didn't end up turning gay.
Me
more dudes than you'd believe.
>Who would seriously date a woman who has videos of her getting train run on her rectum
incel found, and obviously me, because that loose rectum could then poop on my chest.
So just fetishist weirdos? Doesn't sound very appealing.
have sex
>me grug me no have female friends me just sex females
Men without at least one or two female friends (you don't have to be her best friend like a gay dude) give women the ick. It's a red flag for them.
Why would a man want a female friend when he already has guy friends? Men want women because of sex
Kek no wonder women would rather frick a bear and keep voting democrat. Look at the way you moron incels see and treat them
>men explaining how they view women
>wow, how detestable! horrific! men should completely alter the way in which they view the opposite sex because bad!
notice how you've said nothing of substance? you could have opted to say nothing and the end result would be identical.
further notice you don't even attempt to adopt the worldview and view it in a good-faith manner (you fail to do so because your brain stops at "X is bad!"). women know if a guy is into them romantically whilst harboring zero reciprocating feelings, why do your thrust all the responsibility onto the man and ignore any potential responsibility for the woman? what do you think happens to men when they're expected to both police male and female dynamics while also having to shoulder the brunt of the negative outcomes? naturally, they're going to become resentful of the responsibility, the lack of accountability for the other side, and take harsher stances.
if your idea of "traditional" aligns with mine then i would say that they TEND to reserve male relationships (outside of familial ones) for ones that are romantically viable but only while the cornerstones for their "traditional" philosophy are intact and relatively present. if, for example, you take a "traditional" woman and move them away from their upbringing (to a college or another state for work) then you should expect some movement away from their original philosophy.
>Are there any examples of platonic friendships between males and females in media?
Only if both are siblings and/or family members. Men can never be actual friends with girls who are strangers or even cousins unless they are gays.
>or even cousins
female cousins make the best friends
You can have female friends as long as you have other women to frick on demand.
toxic masculinity states you ought to be actively trying to turn your female friends into those other women to frick on demand too
>toxic masculinity states you ought to be actively trying to turn your female friends into those other women to frick on demand too
That's how you have women to frick on demand. Just constantly build rapport with all of them.
People are literal npcs, just ask how they are regularly when you see them.
Men and women arent meant to be friends
Why is everyone in this thread assumes that a man can only want to frick every non blood related woman in his life?
You know you can be friends with people who you just like to talk to and spend time with right?
>t.angry b***h
because every man would frick every (attractive) female in their vicinity if given the greenlight, regardless of presently established relationship.
if you're a dude then ask yourself:
>would i frick X if she asked?
the answer is yes, assuming you're attracted to them.
If you're a girl (ywnbaw) then ask yourself:
>would X frick me if i asked?
the answer is yes, assuming you're attractive/they find you attractive.
>oh but anon, your insistence on "attraction" being present makes the outcomes obvious!
that's because unattractive women may as well be dudes and are viewed as dudes. they are completely asexual objects in the minds of (sober) guys. if your stance is that guys can be platonic friends with 500lb wildebeests with a tolerable personality then i would say that you're only proving my point.
Western men will literally fake a friendship relationship with a women for years just to get a chance to maybe frick her one day, and they had the audacity to ask why their women hate them.
I had a platonic friendship with a girl coworker once.
In 6 months we were fricking behind her boyfriend's back. Never trust a girl with close guy friends.
Jeez, you're lucky he didn't turn around. That would have been awkward.
He couldn't turn around he had to work the cash register.
I love the X-Files so much for this reason. I am so tired of how it seems impossible to show a man and woman spend time together without sex.
They become a couple though and I wouldn’t call them friends, just good co workers. It’s not like they hung outside of work before they got together
who cares about season 8+?
Anon... they have a child together
I don't understand why you stupid homosexuals think you can't be a friend to a woman you'd frick. Your sex drive should make you consider fricking most women including some of your relatives it doesn't mean anything.
Anon these are the same gays who will rape their mother one day that lives upstairs because they haven't touched a woman since years.
I tell my platonic female friends this all the time and it works wonders. They always go crazy knowing that you sleep with your other female friends, so she’ll admire and thirst for you for validation.
You misunderstood. The question is if you can be ONLY MERELY friends. Platonic.
What you're describing, being friends with somebody while ALSO having sex/romance, that's not platonic. And most guys would be perfectly fine with it btw.
Idk if platonic is the word but it was a nice mentor relationship with no cringe romance.
that's because dredd is a eunuch.
IMO the healthiest friendships between a man and a woman are always:
A: Your gf’s best friend
B: Previous FWB that you still hang out with platonically after either of you got into a serious relationship with someone else
C: your bro’s gf or wife
If your gf’s bff is hot (but still less hot than ur gf) you can maintain a playful flirty vibe that nobody ever takes seriously - this has the added benefit of lowering the guard of your gf and training her to not be jealous.
The C category is goated; ur bro will appreciate that his girl feels included, which can strengthen bonds with ur bro. A bonus is the self-esteem and honor boost you get from rejecting her when she gets drunk & flirty
Genuinely terrible advice. 9/10 bait
chad fricks all his female friends and nobody complains.
If women are attracted to married men who are already in relationships because it's sort of like a social proof, doesn't that also apply to men with female friends?
women usually aren't willing to be friends with men they don't want to frick.
not at all because other women know what platonic "male friends" are and what their function is. if you're a woman and your boyfriend is simping over another female then that means they are weak enough to be manipulated, the other woman has some level of power over him which is a threat, and shows that your boyfriend THINKS he has a backup plan.
the social proof of a MARRIED man tells you that the guy is well-adjusted enough to maintain a long-term relationship, has a working dick, generates an income, has some level of emotional intelligence, and is probably committed to another person which means that you can flirt and mess around with very little risk.
Female friends are just women you haven't fricked yet
/thread
they hook up.
Unfortunately, their dynamic was better in s1 and the rest made ron into your typical self insert male mc for the creator.
Yeah and the creator was based, while you're a cuck homosexual
Your fan fic doesn't count moron
Kim Frickable
ahh sweet an incel thread
i think the only way these relationships work is one or both people are gay or if the man is so old they're seen as more of a father figure/mentor. otherwise they're going to frick. heterosexual men and women cannot be friends under 99% of cases. it just doesn't work that way.
Depends. Befriending your buddy's gf who's in a stable relationship is how I made most of my female friends.
They're great at sniffing out red flags and picking up social ques.
How to leave friendzone:
Directly tell them you want to frick them.
Make it clear your efforts are focused on finding someone that is going to frick you.
Proceed to frick dozens of other women that she knows about.
Otherwise behave as you always have.
or just pull your erect penis out and start fapping in front of her.
It's literally impossible for it to occur naturally
Wow, it's almost like man and woman are biologically programmed to breed or something.
A relationship is not supposed to be observed from a third person POV. There's nothing interesting about seeing someone else's primitive desires getting filled.
if women do not want to frick you they will never respect you.
>Just friends with Hermione
>Smart, caring, and hot af
Yeah, right
I've got female friends. I like being around them, they've gotten my back when I needed it and I got theirs. It's pretty simple stuff.
why are you gay?
I'm not, just a volcel.
It is pretty great. I've been able to express my feelings around my friend and do it more safely than I would around anyone who isn't my family. I've done the same for her. She's not using me for money either because she invites me out for drinks and to lunch as much as I invite her. I am very happy to have her a as a friend. She once tried to help me get laid by bringing a girl over to me.
I guess one benefit of having a platonic relationship with a woman is that you don't have to worry about her loosing attraction to you if you open up to her emotionally.
They give the worst advice ever. Don't seek advice or anything like emotional support from female friends.
It's not about advice. It's about empathizing with you and giving you a hug.
I can confirm that my female friends gives me hugs. It's nice.
Why is it a bad thing to want to bang your friends?
if your bro is having a bad day then a little suck-suck to cheer him up is what true friendship is about.
the john bellairs movie from awhile back did a good job imo. roth did a good job showing blanchett and black as nothing more than good friends.
