This is very true. Romantic relationships really do change friendships. Once you become romantic with someone, it’s next to impossible to ever just be friends with them again.
 
Additionally, the dynamics of a romantic relationship are completely different from those of a regular friendship.

Relationships only ruin friendships if people are superficial and only after sex/in it for meaningless or the wrong reasons. Real relationships are built on trust, understanding and mutual respect, and if anything only make a friendship stronger.

HUZA!
 
finally a brony with sense

Not even fuck buddies?
 
XD

 
But seriously, there’s no reason to believe that two of the mane cast doing a relationship upgrade would necessarily ruin their friendship. It would be complicated, but it wouldn’t have to screw them over. Heck, I’m writing a fanfic with the express intent of proving the whole “the mane six couldn’t date each other without screwing things up” assumption wrong.
 
And another IDGAF image for good measure.
 

I watch shipping fanarts for cute factors. Nothing else. Liking shipping doesn’t mean I want that ship to be canon.

To be honest, I prefer the mane 6 (and CMC for that matter) just remain friends with each other.  
I don’t care for ‘shipping much. I guess I’m the only “brony/FiM fan” who feels that way.

Maybe maybe not  
have they never been friends with someone you love or something, I know couples that are like best friends with one another :T

100% agreed, OP.

I only ship the mane six with each other… And in reality we have no idea how it would turn out, do we?

I just hate shipping in general. Too many lesbian scenarios.

Whining is magic, isn’t it?

Ships them anyway.  
I doubt your theory is accurate.

…This guy fails logic forever.

“HOW DARE PEOPLE DO THINGS I DON’T LIKEEEEEEE”

That’s like…your opinion…man.

I actually like all of the mane six ships just fine.

It’s NiggerFaggot’s art.

I have never seen that picture before either…

By the way, where is that scene from? Fanart?

No way!
