Men: How do you really feel about your woman's male friends? (women, single)

[Shysister]

People say there is a fine line between friendships of the opposite sex and most women are not too comfortable with their man having a female bff especially if she's single but I want to hear the guys express their real thoughts on their woman having male friends. I've heard a few guys say a man could never be friends with a woman whom he has no interest in...

To include both men and women for the discussion I'll ask, what are the boundaries in your relationship when it comes to the opposite sex?

[Axle grease]

I'll let you know when I find her!

With a practiced and jaundiced eye. That's how I view them.

Unless it's a lifelong friendship. There's a reason for those. Most other relationships, refer to #1.

Granted, I work in the adult entertainment business and my views might be slightly left of mainstream...

I wouldn't want to be with anyone who judged my friends and how close my friendships could be based on the gender of the friend. You can suck it with that attitude.

The boundaries are very simple: He meets my male friends and I do not go out solo with my male friends without inviting him. I meet his female friends and he does not go out solo with his female friends without inviting me. Friendships with co-workers that extend beyond work and new friends of the opposite sex are subject to the same boundaries.

Avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest. That's pretty much it.

This is exactly how I roll.

If a woman says she is a guy's type of girl. It means she likes bjs and is likely to stray. Because the only type of girl guys would like is a girl who likes the penis.

Avienne nails it once again. Totally agree.

Good friends are hard to find. I don't have a problem when my woman has male friends. Even if she visits them in the evening and returns the next day.
