Female friends....

What do you about a man and his female friends? Is it even an issue for you? Is there time limit on the friendship that makes it ok for you? Or, do you feel any woman who worries about a long term bf and his female friend from school is insecure? Speak to me people?


Guys, I know PG is one if he is aroud will speak on this, what is the extent of your male female relationship? How do you feel if it was your woman with a guy friend? When you have female friends, is it an ex or a female you've known and gotten to know over time?


As I have posted many times, one of my bestfriends is a guy. I was the only girl and find it easier for me to hang with guys. But the women I do talk to and on countless relationship questions I see this as a question. So fill me in on your thoughts and what has happened to you in the past.

I believe that it very much depends on the person. DH has had many female friends over the years....from very old friends to jogging partners and it's never worried me. I trust him implicitly.

On the other hand, I used to have a habit of sleeping with my male friends, so I had to make a decision to not have any male friends. It was the only way to keep myself out of trouble.

In short, if the person in question has a good track record of being able to stay "just friends" then I see no problem. But if the person has a track record of FWB relationships or affairs (and takes no steps to avoid such situations) then beware.

i have many male friends, some who are old flames and were friends now, some who have always just been friends, it truely depends on the individual and their self confidence as well. some of the girfriends of my guy friends dont like me because they dont trust me, but they dont know me and its really about them not trusting the guy. if your Significant other gives you reason to distrust them then it doesnt matter if there friends or not, they just will never trust.
