Zaalim women are a mystery, I agree, thats what attracts men to 'em.

By colors I meant naaz and nakhray and pretending to be seedhi saadhi but inside all shaatir and weird. Men dont like that. Men like a woman who is in her comfort zone.

some times it’s the other way round.

Re: Guys in Platonic Relationship

I think platonic relationship is certainly a possiblity. Y is it so hard for the majority?
Because the order of the world is amoral? But is platonism synonymous with morality for us? But the question was 'y is it so difficult?' One possible reason could be that we usually cant see beyond what's 'tangible' to our unrefined senses.

Mr Wadera has a point.. platonic relationship is only possible if the guy aint attracted to U.

Re: Guys in Platonic Relationship

^ How can there be a relationship if there is no attraction? It's the dominant nature of the attraction that makes it platonic or unplatonic.

I think we r talking abt platonic love here and not platonism as such.
PLATONIC LOVE: def.
"an intimate companionship or relationship, esp. between two persons of the opposite sex, that is characterized by the absence of sexual involvement; a spiritual affection."
That is the simplest definition. The last word is 'affection'. I can substitute it with attraction as long as it's nature remains the same, that is SPIRITUAL.
U just can't call a random realtionship a platonic one. I don't think I call my realtionship with my freinds necessarily platonic or unplatonic. It can be a purely professional relationship. Do we call a purely professional relationship a platonic relationsip? No, because it's based on a tangible thing. Yet, for a relationship to be platonic there has to be a perceptible affinity in ur spirit (shall I say mind?) and not in ur flesh.

Exactly…
A platonic love/friendship can exist only without (physical) attraction.
