platonic friendships

Can a man be friends with a woman without ulterior motives?
How do you feel about your significant other having guy friends?
What lines do you draw, and how do you navigate conversations in the DMs on social media?

We dive in on perspective from both a man's point of view and a woman's point of view.

We’re baaaaaaack!!
Season 5 has been a long time coming, but we are so stoked to be back!

In this first episode of the season, your hosts catch-up and then delve into a listener-requested topic: “Platonic Friendships”. Defined as a “friendship between two people who could, in theory, feel attracted to each other, but without sexual or romantic feelings." (Healthline & Betterhelp)

We delve deep into the complexities of platonic friendships, if platonic friends make good wingmen when on the dating circuit and the best and hardest parts of platonic friends.

Do you believe that platonic friendships are possible? How have you navigated them?

Hit us up and let us know ;)

Can you just be platonic friends with someone that you may, or may not at some point be attracted to? And does age have something to do with it? 

Speaking of, Yvie has a secret friend that Angie's never heard of before! So who is Rick? 

And we chat about the girls' experience fostering over 100 dogs and the reason why those cute little pooches are so important to Yvie!

Hi again! What do you think the rules are on platonic relationships?
This week I talk about what a platonic relationship is, give examples like Gayle and Oprah, Meredith and Cristina (yes, that's how you spell it), Adam Sandler and his crew, Ricky Gervais and his friends ( Extras, After Life, Derek, The Office)
Why are platonic friendships important? 

• They hold you down
• They support you
• They back you up

Foundation strong platonic relationships

• Communication
• Accountability
• Trust
• Authenticity
• Reciprocity

The tea: Understand the Abraham Maslow hierarchy of needs and stop yourself before you find yourself in a pathological cycle of wants and needs leading to you losing your personality due to to the incessant need to fit in.
