Unpopular opinion: you can't have a good relationship without having a friendship too

since if the only thing is sexual attraction and you having to "game" the woman, it's basically just a hooker relationship

to have a good relationship, you need the physical attraction aspect obviously, plus you need to be best friends

the idea is absolutely correct.

true friendship = 2 people who can just enjoy each others companies without trying to get anything from the other person.

for a good relationship anyway.

most relationships fail because the 2 end up not being able to tolerate eachother

The love a man has for a woman is lust + desire to protect.

The love a woman has for a man is lust + desire to please.

In neither case, platonic friendship is required. Bonds and loyalty are created through time spent together and lack of other options.

Yeah that's a great way to think about your relationships.

"She's only loyal to me because she lacks options, hehe"

I can tell you're real pretty OP. You'd make a fine hooker boy.

My wife says we aren't friends, but our marriage is going very well.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Nietzsche thought the same apparently.

“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages”.

I've been married since 2002, and I could see my wife saying something like:

"No, your friends are guys named Jeff and David. I'm your wife."

I tend to agree. Friendship isn't really the right word. It's more of a partnership.

You're not wrong, but there's an order of operations that needs to be taken into account as well. You can't start by building the friendship. You have to start with the romantic relationship first, then over time you build the friendship piece in to sustain it.
