Why is it that people cannot be platonically friendly?

Women have always been and will always be strange and confuse. As for friends. Men and women can always have friends. There is nothing wrong with that. But there are those so called friends that have different intensions. They want more then friendship and most people know it and still stay with this person as friends. Until, you have a boyfriend or girlfriend, spouse, that expects to have your undivided attention and it is well deserved and respected that a boyfriend or girlfriend or spouse should have it. Once your friends start getting in the way then it becomes a problem. As soon as you do get involved with someone, friends will always get jealous. They want you for themselves and that causes problems. You can still have friends but once its time to move on with your life then you should move on. Friends are not going to make a happy family with you and they are certainly not going to support you when they get involved with someone.

We cannot claim with certainity that there are no platonic friends of the opposite sexes. If some one care for his ideology or passion in his or her life and happened to meet a soul mate may be perhaps they may remain platonically attached to each other . However the creator has made us with such stuff that often our head is ruled by the heart and the sensual organs which is why many a good friendship and platonic relations on a weak moment give way for sensual supermacy. Here again i do not beleive their attachment for the rest of the life would only be sensual and not intellectual or platonic.At most we can say that is not puerly platonic.

I've had close male friends since highschool. The problem with these friendships are that they sometimes fall for me, I don't fall for them and I tend to move away due to the awkwardness of the situation after they spill their guts out to me, or at least try to. It is possible, as long as they probably know that it won't go beyond the platonic level...ever. :)
