You're showing your age with these types of statements. This isn't about "I'm older so I know better." This is about common sense and studies done and psychology 101 and HUMAN NATURE.
Come on. Thats a bit of a low blow. Older =/= wiser.
Read above. If all you can argue is what you're arguing about above while completely ignoring the jist of whats being said then that's called deflecting.
And my mention of sex drives is a point to suggest that intimacy is not always a factor for all. Ever heard of the asexual spectrum? Poor form to take that as an opportunity to ridicule of me & the other user (EvilJester).
Just because you're a-sexual it doesn't mean that you'll not form an inappropriate emotional bond with someone else. I for one did not "ridicule" anyone about A-sexualism. I asked some questions about what another poster meant. "Careful what you wish for" was a "warning" it certainly wasn't a ridicule and anyone SHOULD be warned upfront if someone is "A-sexual" because if you get with someone who is NOT then there will be trouble in the relationship as sure as the sun will rise tomorrow.
Secondly, the problem here is our definitions of friendship. You say friendship = cuddling, latenight dates. What about friendship = being there to talk? If they need support for a cause? Financial support? THAT IS ALL FRIENDSHIP.
Do you have ANY personal boundaries, Virtigo.
You are going to be taken advantage of if you don't. There is being a friend and then there is being a doormat. Which are you?
