| Friendships some time can be more complicated then relationships Posted: 7/31/2005 5:53:12 AM | | I don't have a clue as to why you think it, but I don't do complicated. Things getting complicated and I get gone. There is no reason to make any relationship complicated. Every aspect of life is really very simple. It is human kind, even more so mankind that works hard to make it complicated. | |

| Friendships some time can be more complicated then relationships Posted: 7/31/2005 5:58:30 AM | | It is this kind of goofy 'thinking' that causes it all. Just Friends, 'Relationships' Friend with Benefits, Significant Other....damn...WHY would a Man be 'friends' with a Woman he isn't can't, or wont SLEEP with? No Reason I can think of at ALL! NONE!! , | |

I just don't understand that as I have several close male friends that I would not consider sleeping with. The friendship I have with them is not any different than that I would have with another woman. If you feel that way, why would you be friends with other men? It really isn't all about sex!!! | |

Was it simple to have a man sponge off of you for a year? Or does it take longer than that for you to "get gone" if things are complicated?
OT:All relationships are complicated. | |

Very simple. Again nothing is that complicated. There is always a very simple logical explanation for everything. In the case you mention, me. I was stupid and he was lazy. Now he is still lazy and has found yet another stupid woman. When that ends he will still be lazy and looking for yet another stupid woman. So there is nothing complicated here. | |

| Friendships some time can be more complicated then relationships Posted: 8/9/2005 9:22:28 AM | So , let me wrap my feeble female brain around this one now....One moment please.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
So what you're all saying here is that ANY relationship where you don't get physical gratification or else you MAY have to potentially deal with the inherent differences between PEOPLE and the conflict that may arise....are "too complicated" and not worth the time or effort to pursue....
No WONDER we are such an emotionally and spiritually impoverished society!!!!
Whatever happened to the simple act of celebrating another person's humanity and understanding that even the most superficial relationship requires SOME degree of effort be expended, and why is that a BAD thing?!?!!?
Of course if you are happy in your own little bubble and have no desire to expand your ideas or perspectives...then I guess it's perfectly okay to just dissmiss an entire half of the human race, (excluding all of the MEN that aren't worthy of effort either for different reasons!), as worth "relating to", simply because you can't f*ck them!!!!
Lord love a duck....sometimes, I feel truly sad for us as human beings...*sigh* Dee | |

Right on! Relating to *any* life form requires effort... even plants or pets.
I think that friendships, like anything organic, need effort and time to develop... but there’s nothing really complicated in there. Spend a bit of time with your friend, care about him or her sincerely, and the friendship will grow nicely.
If I find friendship more complicated than other relationships, it’s because I’m not being open or honest with my friend. It’s that, or my friend isn’t being open or honest with me... and if you think about it, the responsibility still rests with me. If I’m in touch with my core... honestly accepting my instincts about this person... I’ll pick up the lack of sincerity and the friendship won’t develop in the first place.
If you’re both in the friendship with honesty and a sincere appreciation for each other, it will never be complicated. What complicates relationships is the stuff we attach to them... our ‘needs’, and desires, vulnerabilities, feelings that we are going to lose something of value by doing something ‘his’ way. Those kinds of pressures are rare in friendships... and frankly, if they do exist, I would seriously question the authenticity of the ‘friendship’.
Friendship, by its transient nature, is one of the least complicated of all human interactions.
I describe it as transient, because it’s really at the root of every other relationship... so that as our feelings grow for a person, the relationship naturally develops into what can no longer be defined as a simple friendship.
Anyway, the bottom line is that if a 'friendship' is complicated, there’s something weird going on... the relationship may be a lot of things, but it’s not a friendship. | |
