Throughout the years I have come to learn from both, personal and friend's, that once a woman sees a man as a true good friend, he may as well be Brad Pitt but they will never be able to develop or accept feelings for this man. I have even seen women that liked a guy but once this guy became good friend, they were just not able to accept them as more than just that.
I mean, it’s not all black and white, there are levels of friendship where the jump does happen, but these seem to be very early and low levels, once a strong friendship is developed the guy can simply forget about it even if she had voiced interest before.
Despite what many women say about friend first, seems what they truly mean is “good acquaintances” first, relationship then, true friendship later since they don’t seem to force this barrier if deep friendship develops AFTER a relationship starts.
Why is it that women seem to place an emotional barrier between friends?

Good question. Made me really think about how I ended up with some of those "friendships" and why.
I don't think it is conscious or intentional, but face it... the whole love/lust thing is built on some pretty intense dynamics. Friendship and real familiarity with someone (lack of mystery and surprises) tends to dampen that fire... even in committed relationships. If the spark fades with closeness in early friendship, it doesn't have a chance of surviving making a life together. I think most women instinctively know this though they can't necessarily put it into words at the time.

those wonderful human beings have presented you some exciting factors of view, yet in actual reality, till you want a teach of fireworks, gore, and grotesque battles, save your Scorpio self faraway from the Taurus male! you're quiet and secretive and the Taurus can not stand that! Then once you do open up, you're exploding right into a million products and he won't in any respect understand or forgive you for it. you're lots greater powerful off with a non violent Pisces or an oddball Aquarius. they're going to submit with your stingray of words greater powerful than a Taurus will.

Because they want the conflict in their lives. They want it to come to the point where they've turned their lover into their friend as well, where they can and have to mold them into their friend. If they start out as their friend or someone that they know well, then there isn't much of anything to work with or change. As with most relationships between men and women, it tends to be mostly about the women and what she wants the relationship to be.

I don't agree with that at all, some women may do this but the love of my life was my best and strongest friend before we even touched.....I fell into love with him after we became friends and I felt comfortable acting like a complete dumb *** in front of him...lol. But many who do do this are just afraid of not being able to just drop it all and come back to this bond if you were to have a huge fight with them and broke up, it's very hard to just drop back to friends. It's a very emotional and complicated things for many women, they may just find that you weren't someone they'd want to be with after getting to know you, they may just want to hang out.

I dont think I'd date a friend...once you are friend I dont know I just never really think of you as anything else. I guess I am one of those women you are talking about . A friend though is way better than a boyfriend . I can talk to a friend and not worry about him blowing up and I can talk to him about my boyfriend and get advice and stuff like that. My best friend is a guy and i can honestly say I've never thought him in a romantic way.

Because they feel like if they cross that line they will mess up a good friendship, which makes no sense but then what does.

Between friends or between the sexes?

Not true. I need to be good friends with my man above all things.

because relationships tend to get screwed after you've been with someone
