Guidelines for a Platonic Relationship (For Abstinent Males)

Nov 09, 2006 12:49

This is heavily modified (read: plagarized with exceptions) from a link that I found on Digg a few minutes ago (Warning: if you look at the original I do not agree with the comments he makes about sex and whatnot.). I thought these were funny, yet rang true but needed modifying because the original refers heavily to sex and I ain't cool with that. ( Read more... )

platonic, randomness, relationships

Thanks for posting that. :-) For me, personally, it hits home cause one of my very best friends is a guy, and I'm gunna be moving in with him and his family at the end of this year (separete rooms of course). ...long story.
Anyway. Yeah. Good points made.

Yes, that's hilarious and so true!

This stuff makes alot of sense, John. Guidlines like this could have really helped me during some painful/awkward situations.

Anyway, we shuld hang out sometime and catch-up. Get back to me.

there's a couple of these that don't quite sit right with me:

5. No judgment making on any girl that I see.

I think that as a friend, it's important to let someone know if the girl they're seeing is not right for them. i.e. if a girl treated one of my guy friends horribly, I'd definitely be like, "dude, you're a great person, you shouldn't put up with such treatment. you don't deserve this and I hate to see you get hurt."

6. No judgment making on how I treat any girl I might date, be it for six months, or six hours. You have thrown your log onto the fire of chauvinism in my heart, so you are partially to blame if an innocent girl gets burned. I actually find this reasoning horrible. It's trying to give justification for someone doing inexecusable things just b/c that person's been hurt, like it's ok for a victim to be an agressor. Stories about abusive husbands who "only turned that way b/c they were abused" are numerous. It's not an excuse. someone doesn't like you, get over it. That gives no one justification to purposely hurt ( ... )
