Different platonic friendships have different vibes and dynamics. Some friends share nudes. Some friends never talk about sex. Some friends you never introduce to other friends. Some friends you only talk to in groups.

How important are platonic friendships in your life? So not the ones we have sex with.

Really flipping important. It's one of the things about fab that's surprised me - I've found wonderful platonic friendships here. ❤️

Also what is a non-platonic but also non-romantic friendship? A sexual friendship?

Yeah. Maybe a fwb?

I'm incredibly fortunate to have absolutely banging friends whom I do not bang ❤️

We socialise both separately, in small groups, and in one big group, depending on the occasion, but they all mix really well despite me meeting them all at different times and in different contexts. #blessed

Quite important but good friendship is in very short supply.

I was with a good friend yesterday, it was easy and comfortable even though she told me that I'm not normal and am in fact a bit odd. 🤷‍♀️

I don't have friends that I speak with or see regularly

I have a small handful that would be there if needed though

Personally, I don't need or want to be in constant contact with anyone where we just chew the cud over anything and nothing

I'm not a loner, I do like human interaction, but I'm not very social either, so distance in any sort of relationship suits me really

I had a day out last weekend with my very best school friends. It was fabulous. We hadn't hung out properly in ages. Having babies and moving away really interrupted things for the last decade or so. But it was like we were 15 again. We talked about everything imaginable - except sex. There was plenty of menopause conversation though. I did say in 20 years we'd be talking about having falls

Friendships are so important to me. I've got a small handful of amazing friends who I can rely on at my very worst times, and I hope they feel they can rely on me. Most of them don't know each other as I met them in seperate situations. I don't have constant contact with them, and often only see each one once every few weeks. I like my alone time

Super important to me. I have a group of best friends. But my bestie in the whole world is the one person who knows the fully authentic us. She gets it, doesn't judge, and she's one of the select few I'd trust with my life. We talk about anything and everything, she's seen our nudes too 😅

My other friends in that group mean the world to me, but we usually just hang out in groups. We talk about sex and stuff, but they haven't seen my bits, to my knowledge! 🤣

I have a few platonic friends on here, but I have my guard up with that from having that trust broken once already.

I suck at friendships. I take too long to reply, then I get anxious that it’s been too long and I don’t know what to say, and that I’m worried they’ll be mad at me for not replying.

I’m lucky that my best friend knows me like no other, and we can just pick up like nothings changed.

I have a small number of trusted real life friends although as a man it does get harder to make new friends as you age, and inevitably you lose more friends as you age.

I put Fab Friends in a different category. There's people I know and like a lot in real life but they're not part of my whole life in the same way.

It doesn’t to me…

I find the term “Fab friends” quite demeaning and I cut someone off completely last year which hurt A LOT because I considered him to be a true, very dear friend. But according to him I was a part of an “alternative world”… told him to fuck off there and then.

To me a friend is a friend, it doesn’t matter one iota where or how I met them… but that is me of course.

My platonic friendship circle has got smaller and smaller as I've got older sadly as I am not interested in getting married, having kids etc and most of my friends from my younger days have all paired off, settled down and had kids so we don't have a lot in common now, and honestly they don't really have a lot of time for me. I'm not mad at them for it, it's just how it is, but I have struggled in my 30 with making new friends and found swinging actually a fantastic way to make platonic friendships. I've met people I have so much in common with and who I vibe so well with, the fact we have sex sometimes is secondary and we are just as happy to hang out without the sex. And I've met people in clubs that I haven't had sex with but we have clicked as mates etc.

As someone who uses that term its really interesting to hear that perspective! I've had people I know through Fab and considered good friends suddenly disappear with no explanation or contact, and I know this is not unusual. I've never experienced that in any other context and that's one of the reasons I do see them differently to other friends, to insulate myself from that outcome.

I don't particularly categorise friendships on the basis of whether we have sex.

Friends can become very important to me, someone you can be yourself with and to feel how you feel. I think that's the Jim Morrison definition of friendship. If that's there with someone then that's special. That's my vibe.

If it's not there I am just not one for working on it or forcing it, definitely not the 'maintaining friendships' stuff.

Important but not a need. I'd do just fine with the hermit life, I'd probably make friends with a woodland critter of some kind of other.

Massively important, without friendship life is empty.

I hate the way men throw away a great friendship and reject you when they realise there’s no sex to be had. It invalidates the whole experience of the friendship and totaly undermines my self worth - none of it was real, they just played a role and manipulated me because they wanted a few minutes of shagging.

I’m having this friendship experience right now - having told him repeatedly that I feared this is what would happen (rejecting me after giving up trying to shah me) and him assuring me it never would. Every time I see him online and ignoring me it kills me a bit and emphasises my negative self beliefs.

My true friends have to accept that they will get random nude photos of me, be told intimate details about what I've done with someone during sexy times and will have to show genuine interest in tales of my latest bowel movement.

Luckily I have surrounded myself with equally odd over sharing people, we know we are in a safe place to talk about anything and everything but also accept that what we say could be met with light-hearted piss taking.

Really? I send nearly all my nudes to my closest friend before I post them online. She's vets them and she's brutally honest. It's great to have an objective opinion. And it's funny.

I also photograph her when she wants to take nudes.

Nudity is just nudity for some people. Others not and that's ok too.

I have been in a platonic friendship for the past 44 years and we are still going strong despite a 15 year age gap.

We have each had relationships outside of our friendship along the way but have been there for each other through a range of our respective families births, deaths and marriages.

I send my nudes on two WhatsApp group chats to my friends who range from their early 30s to late 50s none of them are on fab or into swinging and all are 100% straight.

I send them nudes or lingerie photos they might send me photos of themselves in their latest underwear or swimwear purchase.

I do find it odd that women have people they consider close friends but don't share photos like this.

There’s a big scary world out there, outside of your own, where friends that have never heard of fab send each other nudes

Can you see how that works the other way too?

Especially for people from a different generation?

I send my nudes on two WhatsApp group chats to my friends who range from their early 30s to late 50s none of them are on fab or into swinging and all are 100% straight.

I send them nudes or lingerie photos they might send me photos of themselves in their latest underwear or swimwear purchase.

I do find it odd that women have people they consider close friends but don't share photos like this.

You mentioned further back that you're an overcharged

Not everyone is"

I am an oversharer yet I accept that others are not, which is why although I find things odd I would never tell people that their actions are not wise, that their not living in the real world and that their actions towards their friends in nonchalant.

Doesn't matter cant block distances

"Not to sound too corny but my daughters are my best friends.

My ex is one of my closest friends, and the guy who runs the church I used to go to in my 20s

Does it really matter who they are or how you met them?

It doesn’t to me…

To me a friend is a friend, it doesn’t matter one iota where or how I met them… but that is me of course. "

My thoughts too!!

Having friends is really important, I have had many downs in life and I have found that talking and expressing myself helps massively, so my friends have been such a great help for me.

Not got platonic friends on fab so no one knows about this side of me apart from my wife so I would love friends of fab x

"I have been in a platonic friendship for the past 44 years and we are still going strong despite a 15 year age gap.

We have each had relationships outside of our friendship along the way but have been there for each other through a range of our respective families births, deaths and marriages. "

About 9% of over 40s have no close friends according to a 2021 survey, rising to 10% if an introvert. That'll be me then.

"I don't think it would be wise to send nudes to a friend

Why? Lots of women I know send nudes to other women and ask opinions before sending out. Not that deep

I’d send nudes to a friend make or female who would be willing to give me an honest opinion.

I’d ask first if it was ok.

Really really not deep.

Ok, satisfy my curiosity if you will...you're talking fab friends here, right?

I am close to family, they're the only people I truly trust.

I have friends who I'm pretty close to, mostly vanilla friendships. I don't discuss my sex life with either.

They are separate, to those friends who I do discuss sex & talk more freely about. I can see that I have been fortunate compared to some of you.

I have few true friends but they are very close and mean the world to me.

I've not been fortunate enough to find friendship on here; I have made a few acquaintances/mates though.

Nothing strange about not having friends, some people find it difficult to make friends, I have friends but it's been difficult to make them tbh.

I have an amazing friendship with a lady who is effectively the sister I never had. She has been the shoulder I cried on more times than I can remember and has talked sense into me when I needed it. I owe her so much.

Most of my friends are platonic and it's no understatement to say I wouldn't be alive without a few of them.

Yup. Outside of fab.

To be honest 99% of fab friends I imagine would look at nudes slightly differently anyway. I’m not convinced how platonic any friends on here truly are. Not any less valuable to me though.

Why do friends outside of here think you're asking them about how you look naked?

Like I said - I do ask first. Not just blast them with a nude picture

Reasons have been

* have I put weight on

* does this look normal

* are these really lopsided 🤣
