Nina :
sexual attraction* there’s actual five types of attraction (platonic, sensual, aesthetic, romantic and sexual) so this makes sense, i think it’s bc we put romantic love on a pedestal bc of capalism and patriarchy imo

As someone who experiences zero physical or sexual attraction I COMPLETELY disagree. Romantic love is an entirely different experience to platonic love for friends. This basically boils romantic love down to societal norms/the simple act of living with/raising a family with someone which is so incorrect

Raising children with your family and friends was the norm up until recent history when capitalism and rugged individualism became the norm. The saying “it takes a village to raise a child” was not metaphorical… it was literal.

I don’t know about this statement. Friends can be attracted to each other and it’s not romantic

It’s officially called a “romantic friendship” FYI

Once you break down the subconscious idea of monogamous relationships as ownership, it becomes way less wild. Communal childrearing is literally how we did it for thousands of years, this hyper individualism is a capitalist concept

HeyEmma :
My best friend and I got a place together after my divorce. We take care of our dogs together, share chores, and really balance out each other’s lives in almost every way with zero romantic attraction. We’ve discussed what if we did want to raise a baby together someday. And the platonic relationship as a whole is so much healthier than my marriage was to the point that I can’t see myself ever pursuing a committed romantic relationship with a man again. It’s a real lifestyle that I think more people should consider pursuing.

I understand this view for sureeeee but I think romantic love is more sacrificial for some.

I just lost a friendship with a girl because she couldn't believe that I didn't have romantic feelings for her. I loved her platonically and found her attractive but I'm pursuing another girl romantically. I still can't sort it out in my head why I don't have romantic feelings for someone I love and find attractive.

This is a very extroverted take. I do not want to see my friends that much

I have lots of polyamorous friends and the one thing I have tried to bring into my own life from polyamory is the idea that no one person can be everything for you.

The expectations of unconditional love and committment seems to be the deciding factor

Yeah, I’ve been slowly developing a theory that we only reserve certain levels of intimacy/care/commitment for romantic partners due to social norms and not necessarily bc that’s how it has to be

I don't personally buy into this theory, but... This is what you're talking about. Sternberg’s Triangular Theory of Love.

No 100%. I love my husband but I really wish I could have a mommune and platonic co-parent with other moms because they’re just better

Definitely not true. I love each person very differently.

I don't agree with this at all. I find a lot of my dearest friends attractive but I don't feel romantic toward them. I think a stronger argument is that romance is an incredibly broad spectrum and also has icky roots in capitalism, colonialism and the patriarchy
