As a gay man, it’s even more of a mess. Have to keep everyone at arms length. It’s exhausting…

I am a woman and my friendliness is ALWAYS misinterpreted as flirting, even with other women.

It’s some men’s fault, entitlement and constant chasing

THIS is why “certain” segments of adult life exist!! It is exhausting in the cis-het world !

Lot more platonic cuddle puddles on the west coast. Casual, loving, non-sexual.

My son had a friendship like this, they'd both fall in the couch to play Nintendo or to laugh at a show. The other parents ended the friendship. not because the child was uncomfortable, because they were. It's been almost 2 years and my son still grieves that friendship lost.

When you said it can easily be misinterpreted and brought to mind 1 million times that my comfort with being my total self has brought judgment and misinterpretation of my intent, particularly with religious organizations. I'm sure you know that one well apparently everything I am and everything I do is super sexual. I never knew. Lol. Purity Culture. Yuck

It’s so sad that close, intimate friendships aren’t part of our culture. 😞

And as a result, the wife ends up having to be the wife, the best friend, the therapist, the mom, the housekeeper, the etc. I truly believe if men had deeper relationships as you described, our society as a whole would function far better and the “loneliness epidemic” wouldn’t be as prevalent.

Ivy Magpie TowardsHer :
Yeah, I’m making friends at the dog park and I’ll mention casually that I’m married. My husband doesn’t come with me and after talking with men for a month or two I’ll mention my husband and they are always startled. I told them prior that I was married, but because not every time I open my mouth isn’t “my husband” they think I’m withholding info. I’m like “I’m a person outside of my marriage, you know that right?”

I think about this so much! My friends and I platonically cuddled well into our twenties and then one day we just collectively stopped.

libbycook007 :
As a bisexual woman, I have learned to be very explicit about my intentions and expectations for relationships of all types. That directness solves many of this issues, but it doesn't solve the perceptions of people outside of the friendship.

I hate that this is a thing. As a female who gravitated towards male friends but didn’t understand this social boundary for way too long this was a hard lesson learned.

Goth Falcon :
I love queerplatonic relationships, too. The friendship that includes things that society wouldn't view as friendship things, but it works because you know where things are. I had a lesbian coworker that we would flirt with each other because we both knew it didn't carry any expectations

Yes yes yes. Also I kind of love this video didn’t have a larger point to end with. The observations you made are enough

I had the same experience in my youth, and now, finding a group of my peers who are safe and open, and being able to have platonic cuddle piles, go on platonic dates, has been so amazingly fulfilling. And allows my

Nontoxic masculinity. Being ok being sensitive. It’s so important to find those relationships

This is one of the things I love about being in the burn community. We're a lot more open to platonic physical touch and affection.

This is because American men associate touch with sex.

i have a very close intimate friendship like that with one of my straight friends, and usually people misinterpret that we are together, and we dont care but i wish it was seen as normal to be that close to your friend

Jo-jo :
I had friends like that in my 20s. Male friends that I’d hang put with, go to happy hour and dinner and movies with and it was platonic. We even talked about people we were dating. I swear, the movie When Harry Met Sally ruined male/female friendships even more!

I've been so lucky to find my theater friends, men and women, who act this way.

Eric Greer :
Our society has made everyone insecure. We aren’t allowed to be ourselves. I’ve met so many hetero men who open up to me and do want this kind of connection but are too embarrassed to have it. It’s sad.
