  • not to be mean but that reads like ‘fellow voyagers’, it’s a lot of work to keep close when apart like that

    I had a few female friends like that in college, it ended poorly but they were solid friends, it gets harder when people start having kids and such especially across different states (people say this, it was this way for me, ymmv)




  • then it doesn’t really matter what gender imo

    so yea what hobbies are these exactly that you’ve made multiple life long friendships over?

    how much time do you spend with them weekly? how does your significant other feel about this, this can be a problem with even straight guy friends

    I’m really curious about specifics because it’s never as simple as your posts play it out to be



  • handwave the attracted part to mean good fit and not just sexually appealing

    so the greeks break down friendship into a number of groups and most women I’ve met that became friends have been ‘fellow voyagers’ so not much shared interest keeping long standing ties

    so assume limited time in your life, what exactly do you do with these dearly loved women that don’t make relationship material? do you share hobbies?

    if I share interests with a woman and we’re both single and I’m attracted to her why would I not want to ask her to be my gf?

    would not drop a relationship if she turned me down but would prioritize any future gf over her, same with a dude barring a massive discrepancy in years known

    I have seen this play out first hand and the woman friend then got jealous of the new gf lmao, personal experience says women still want to be your focus even when just ‘friends’
