I've never had negative feedback from my women friends about a boyfriend, unless I flat out asked them for their true opinion. And even then I wouldn't pay attention to it unless it validated something I was already thinking. I once dated a guy all my friends disliked (no particular reason, they just didn't click with him) but they kept their thoughts to themselves. Only when I broke up with him did they express their relief
Hmm, I'm always interested in my friends' feedback, but some of them, at least when we were younger had warped priorities. I went on a date in my 20s with a friend of a friend who I'd met at a party. He kept pushing to be alone together that night, and spent the whole night whining about his job and his living situation without mentioning anything about a plan for changing either. I wasn't interested in a second date, but my female friends were impressed that he declined my offer of splitting the check and thought I should go out with him again. Err, I work, I earn a salary, I can pay for my own dinners. I don't need someone trying to push sex more quickly than I'm ready for it. As for the whining, while I'm sympathetic and know changes don't come overnight, I do expect people to take an active role in turning their lives around if they're not happy with them. I know first hand, it's not easy.
