What is a platonic friendship? This is a friendship where two people in the relationship, usually a female and a male are close friends but without there being a sexual engagement. It’s basically friends without benefits. The relationship between the male and the female is usually based on pure mutual respect. There is love between the two, but its not the romantic kind.
Have you ever being in a platonic relationship.
For me yes .

it has been so hard for me finding that type of male friend and that's what I really want, I grew up so used to my brothers that I don't have any single male friend,though it's kinda my fault

The truth is, no sane guy will like your companionship. Change your ways, embrace sense.

Well, it very possible thou...
I have a female friend who cooks, sleeps over, and do my washing and we are just friends, never for once have I ever tried to see her pant...
Our friendship will clock three years next month and we both single..
I think it about the mindset, she works with chevron, an independent lady who take care of her skin so she is damm pretty..
But I see her as my sister already, so imagine me having sex with my sister >>>> No!! Noo!!

if you are not getting business/financial or sexual benefits from a woman,ditch her.

As a guy I see no reason to have a platonic relationship with any girl. Cmon let's be sincere na, if me and any of my guys dey there is never a dull moment. We lift each other up, everything we do is mutual. But with a girl, no naaaa, no insults intended but girls are boring. They do not know how to "give" anything (not sex or money) they always see themselves as a priceless treasure that every man wants to be around and so it is your job as the guy to always make her happy. The sex is just the reason we go through all those deceitful talks and laughs trying to make them believe that we love their presence, nothing else.

It is not about Red or blue pill, it is the truth. I'm also not trying to say that ladies are bad, no. You can't avoid them, we live together in the society. But as a guy who is truthful to himself, you should know the truth.

Most of those guys that ladies call besties are stupid dudes with low self esteem, weak guys that try to rob a house by sneaking in through the backdoor. They think the way to get in between her legs in the future is by been her friend, so they start wasting all their precious time and efforts trying to make her happy all the time, a one-way/parasitic friendship.

I do not blame the girls in such cases, no. The guys are to blame.

Not everyone is Hot like you, I have a girlfriend and about 5 female friends ...am I fucking all of them? It's you that only see women as sex objects don't generalize your opinions

If you as a guy really can't just be friends with a lady without sex involved. Then you really have a lot of growing up to do.

@OP!!
It is Possible though..
BUT Very Rare..
In many cases, Either the Guy or Girl will fall in Love.. sad smiley

The sweet conversations, teasings, Jokes, Little Quarells and Coming back again is Always very Hard for them to handle!! sad cool

Also, One may be Feeling Romance or Sex-Starved and with No one to Turn to, Bestie becomes the quickest option!!
Dats why you Hear some Besties starts Fvckking each other!! wink
They didn't mean to But One Got Hot and the Other couldn't Resist!!..

So Dats it!! It's Possible but Hard to Maintain!!..
Personally, I advise against It..
Get yourself a Proper Girlfriend and enjoy ur Romantic Life..
So Mr OP!!
If you have any Girl that you are Getting too Close to, Try Reduce Communication with Her!!..
Besties Issues comes with too much Headache!!..
