True..the bonding is something that happens on its own and cannot be forced. It is to be treasured more than any romantic intimacy. But questions and doubts such as the one raised by the TM can sometimes hurt an otherwise innocent and pleasant relationship. People tend to see things from their own mental screen.
@ Bold : that is yet another contributing factor..however, i dont think the questions raised by the TM hurts any relationship in anyway..in fact , it could do the opposite..since talking about something or discussing something in the open with a logical, rational & moral approach can only help in solving a problem or answering a question rather than keeping it bottled up & not talking about while imposing a 'hush-hush' attitude..
The fact that only men-women friendship is being thus questioned in the topic and not the same gender indicates the bias. In fact someone seemed to suggest that if there was no attraction between the hetero friends it could only mean that they were homos π
I dont think it has anything to do with a "bias" towards or against the LGBT community..it so happens that most people are straight & the alternative sexuality is still (& will always be) in the minority , so the question in hand is more relevant to a large chunk of the population but that does not mean it looks down upon the LGBT community..if anyone feels like it, may be they can start another topic on similar lines with respect to LGBT community..but yes, i do agree that it may seem like a sort of bias to the minority group since they are so fed up with heteronormative culture..and rightly so, it must be really difficult growing up in a hetero-normative world for the LGBT people..in an ideal world people wont see LGBT as a different community but a part of themselves..however, most people are only bothered with things that they relate to ( and that includes hetero & LGBT both )..so they often seek comfort in their own community (human tendency) & the LGBT community suffers in the process since most people are straight..
@ Bold..who did ?.π²..i guess , i dint notice it , may be he/she was just being sarcastic or funny..π
