I really value my platonic friendships and I have many of those. Contrary to popular belief, I do not want to sleep with every woman that I am friends with. The "friends with benefits" scenario was never that beneficial to me. My platonic friends have helped me through many of my relationship struggles and have quite often come to my defense when some of those relationships went bad. My platonic friends know me better than the women that I go out with and they know what kind of person I am.
I know this is going to come as a complete surprise to some, but I do have a sense of morality and I try to treat people as well as I can. One of the reasons that my platonic friends and I get along so well is because we do not have the pressure of being in a relationship because whether anyone wants to admit it or not, relationships change things. They change attitudes and actions and sometimes whole personalities. I would rather keep a lifelong platonic friendship than ruin it with a temporary relationship.
