Friendship

[Bonzi]

Tilly is very inuitive. ChrisL loves Bonzi topics. Bruce is not the only one, **** the study.

Because she is real and puts her thoughts out there - instead of the BS that goes on over at the FZ.... but the FZ will be what it should be - a place to call people out for what they really are....

 

[Tilly]

I stand by my claim that it is difficult for heterosexual men and women to maintain a strictly platonic friendship if they find one another attractive - or - if one finds the other one attractive.

But you're insisting Bruce is a liar because he has no trouble doing so. You don't seem to know how to apply study findings and your overwhelming tendency to fit people into boxes and call them liars is childish and ignorant. That's it I'm done here, and you've ruined an interesting thread.

I'm quite sure he is lying. If not, then he is probably gay.

Okay, bye.

 

[Tilly]

Bruce isn't a generality or a stat, and you asked for his experience then promptly insult him and call him a liar. And we're not even in the flame zone.

She's in iggy and no more of that stuff!

Sounds like a good idea. I can't stand it when she goes off like this. It's a pity, because when she's in 'normal' mode, she writes some really good posts.

Are you claiming that my posts are false? That is ABNORMAL for men and women to be sexually attracted to one another?

Did I say that?

Well then, why don't you tell me what it is that you disagree with.

Dear G-d, I've done that already, and now I'm finished with this 'debate'.

You oddly seem to think you are proving something. Go for it.

Relax, she's skewering your pickle and testing your voracity, you don't feel like a phony, that's the end of it on your side.

Okay. Just what about any of my statements do you disagree with and why? What is "phony" about them. Please quote the posts you take issue with. TYIA.

I don't want to read all those and I don't have to.

In the past, when I was single and all, I met plenty of women that were sexy and available that I would't touch with a ten foot pole. It's not unheard of in other words.

Or they wouldn't allow you to touch them with a ten foot pole is probably more the reality of the situation. Lol. I'm sure you aren't half the stud you think you are.

Well, certainly not anymore.. .. You ever consider that not every man wants to jump your bones, your issue with Bruce has more to do with you than him.

I don't know what that has to do with the subject. Generally speaking, it is difficult for men and women (who find each other attractive) to keep it strictly platonic. Those are just the facts. Do you want to argue with biology? Go ahead. Bring it.

Nope, this thread turned tedious, I'm running away before I get mean and nasty, plus I can't believe I'm up this late....it has been interesting to watch you set rules for others and be unrestrained yourself though. Thanks for the entertainment..

Like I said, the only differentiation between friends and lovers is the physical or romantic attraction/feeling.

The only way to have that is for both parties to have ZERO interest in that sex.

A gay man and a gay woman likely could be friends.
A straight woman and a straight woman
A straight man and a straight man

Of course, if one of the parties involved in the friendship is gay, it is going to be a completely different situation.

You don't have to be gay to have a sibling-like relationship with someone of the opposite sex. Sorry you've missed out on this type of friendship, but they can and do exist. Not everything is about you, Chris, and has to be extrapolated as sexual. Get over yourself! Until you do you'll never experience the joy of friendship with the opposite sex.

Lol. Couldn't agree more. Hate getting nasty, trying to cut down

I know you'll be after me but you would not be you if you didn't! No problem!

I'm posting the facts. Now, what is it that you disagree with about what I've posted. I say that men and women who are heterosexual and who find one another attractive (or even if that is one-sided), it is going to make platonic friendship difficult.

Apparently, you disagree with this. Why and which part? Try to behave like a grownup now.

 

[Bonzi]

Um when people post here is really is all about them.
I mean, we are supposed to be ourselves right?
If you don't like Chris for who she is, don't talk to her

 

[mudwhistle]

Having friends is too much work it always seems they ask way more of me than I ask of them

My husband and I have noticed that.
People we have tried to make friends with always want to do things on THEIR terms.
If we invite them to things they are not interested in, they say no.
But we will do things we don't want to do with them, as a sacrifice for the friendship.

It always seems to be a one-way or one-sided friendship, with us always making the sacrifices.

Those aren't friends

Those are acquaintances.

I like to hear from everyone on here - but if you are going to be upset over typed words on a message board, YOU are the on with problems!

Well, there is no need to be nasty. You can tell me what you disagree and why you disagree with it. Simple. Keep your cool, and don't let yourself get all emotional.

The part that you believe all men and it is not all men but a good majority of men think that way. Also there are women that act like the men you are writing about but I bet you believe no woman can act that way,right?

You are so hardcore on the thought that no man can be friends without being attracted to their female friend which tell me that you never had any real male friends or you believe they are all attracted to you, which I really doubt!

In general, I am right. Do you disagree with that?

Bruce isn't a generality or a stat, and you asked for his experience then promptly insult him and call him a liar. And we're not even in the flame zone.

Bruce save yourself some time and don't listen to her bullshit.

Nurse Ratchet gives chrisl privileges every once in a while and she uses the internet to troll those who are not in lock-down.

Perhaps you have read chrisl's book you know the one entitled, "How to **** Up a Wet Dream", yea that one where she has her head shot emblazoned on the cover.

BTW friendship is defined by the facts and circumstances surrounding the meetup of two or more people.

Only if I disagree with you about something. That's why I'm here!

 

[mudwhistle]

What would your definition be of a "friend"?
Do you have many "real friends"?

Do you think friendship means different things to different people?
Do you think it's possible for men/women to be friends without one being a "little more interested" than the other?

1. Someone that is there to tell you when you have messed up, and give you a kick in the pants when needed but also will not turn their back on you and are there through thick and thin...

2. I have a few real friends.

3. Yes, many people have a different view of what a friend is.

4. I believe Platonic relationship can be achieved between a man and a woman.

Platonic relationships are usually involuntary for the male.

Tilly, you are quite impressive, nice getting to know you, thanks.

I'm actually off to bed, dang, I can't believe this..

I will admit Chris has gotten under my skin also in the past (and she may again) - but that is on me, not her.
