When she isn't with you, is she alone? All of the time? And that's ok with you?
Do YOU have friends and family? When you spend time with them, what do you expect her to do?
Talking to other people shapes how we see the world to a certain extent. What do these people do when they need help (and they will, eventually)? Having just one person to turn to is not a good thing IMO.
I don't disagree with you that there are advantages that come with having friends. There are also advantages to having six months or more of living expenses saved up, but not everyone has the motivation or ability to do so. If you don't want to date friendless people, don't date them but it's not the end of the world.
If they have no friends it means they're not really capable or desiring to emotionally connect with other people, which means they're not relationship material.
Lol, more ignorance I see. Just because someone has no friends, doesn't mean they aren't relationship material.
I'm as introvert as you can get. I live by myself. I go to concerts and dinner alone often. But I don't do everything alone. I have anxiety issues too but I would be in horrible straights if I didn't socialize once in a while. I don't think that someone who does not crave human interaction once in a while is normal. Sorry, not sorry.
But socializing seems different from "having friends" I mean for me, there's people I talk to at work, and I talk to them everyday, we have good conversations, in fact there's probably more than a dozen people I talk every once in awhile, but I don't have anyone I hang out with outside of work.

Ummm....I'm discussing the topic as presented in the OP.
I would have 0 issues with dating a woman who had not friends, whether it was a FWB situation or a LTR situation. In fact, I would prefer this.
Conversely, when I was younger I did have issues when I dated women who had a small group of close friends, since in many cases these busybody/intrusive close friends ended up involving themselves in our relationship - which I didn't appreciate.
In fact, if I were looking for a LTR these days (I'm not), I would be leery of dating any women who has close friends, due to my negative experiences with this in the past.
However, it seems the older women get this is less of an issue (since as people get older, many of their friends are married with their own families, etc.).
Really? You want to have a relationship with someone that can't or won't form emotional bonds with other people?
Go ahead. I like to date people capable of forming such connections.
I'm not sure why some of you are taking issue with who other people choose date. It's not your life so it's not your business.
