Zues, I have possibly not picked up on the finer points of your "friends" v "Friends". I wholeheartedly agree there can be inappropriate emotional relationships between a man and a woman. But I'm missing something here.
I, a single woman, go out with groups of friends that include single men. Seems ok by you. I, a single woman, sometimes text those friends in a conversational tone. I do not share my innermost secrets with any of them. Ok or not ok by Zues rules? I get fuzzy here. Not ok because of the risk it might turn emotional? And if that's true, why not, we are both single. Doesn't mean either one of us sleeps around, it's a text. This is where I don't quite understand the inappropriateness. Can you explain?
