Admin	why you should have platonic female friends! Posted : 2 Jul, 2010 08:53 PM Sadly, there are many women who are craving love, affection, security, etc., and letting these cravings be the driving force in their search for a boyfriend/husband. I think a lot of this stems from how a woman was raised... I think it is also the result of women marrying later and of being less certain that they'll find "the one." So, what do these women do? They attach themselves to any guy who will satisfy their cravings. Bad boys... Non-Christian boys... Boys who only want to use them and have sex w/ them... How can you, as men, help out? Simply, by being a brother in Christ to the women around you. Your interaction w/ a woman should not begin and end w/ determining her suitability as a future mate. Biblically, your responsibility to your sisters in Christ goes far beyond that. I'm not talking about being "friends w/ privileges" here; I'm talking about caring for women w/in the church in the same fashion that you might care for a sibling. And I'm talking about modeling what a Godly man is, so that women can better understand what their standard should be. It's a tragedy when a woman feel like she "has to" become romantically (and often sexually) involved w/ a guy just to get a hug or to have a listening and sympathetic ear. Post Reply

I made a comment, and your reaction was to remove the photos because of ONE comment? That's mature. Did you cry in a corner for several days too before you finally mustered up a response? LOL, I had no idea I wielded that much power, but I'll try to keep in check for the future. :winksmile: Post Reply

We are to love are brothers and sisters. Making fun of how somebody looks after they said something is kind of rude. Where are your manners????:peace: Post Reply

Tis best to think before you speak/post; I have found in previous situations. *end rant* I am all for having female friends; in fact, that is why I'm on this site. Hoping to have more success in the future than I'm currently having right now, but I'm not going to complain. Just waiting on God's timing. Post Reply

Posted : 18 Jul, 2010 03:51 PM There she is! :excited: I didn't bother to read the comments before this, but to answer the question, oh and I only read the title cuz I'm lazy :/, I say yes totally. Although platonic sounds like such a downer word. Probably because is sounds like pluton. Just banter is good and short messages where you don't try to accomplish anything are good. It's funny what gets accomplished when you don't try (well try try that is. if that makes sense) Give freely Live freely. That's what I say. Post Reply

Posted : 4 Aug, 2010 07:04 PM I think that if a woman decides that a guy is just going to be a platonic friend, that she sit down with him and let him know that, then let him decide if he is ok with that. Its when the subject is in the mind of one and not the other when people get hurt emotionally. Post Reply
