What is wrong with this? people find this out and look at me like I'm the devil.
Would you be okay if your partner had a friend of the opposite sex. I talking like a real friend that you actually hang out with and go to to the mall or casino with them.
there is nothing wrong with it as long as the reasons are explicitly "friendship" based. that said, ive never known many young males to approach and get to know females for "just" friendship....its just logic dictating peoples perceptions, and in most cases rightfully so.

Speaking from a purely practical P.O.V. (setting aside all moral "is it okay if" questions), you can expect that keeping girl "friends" around will seriously damage your ability to find, build and keep a mutually respectful and healthy relationship with a good woman who has healthy self-esteem. Exceptions to this would be women who you see on a purely business level (even that can get dicey), or girl "friends" who you see while you are with your actual girlfriend (other couples are a notable example).
Good women will more than likely dump you (or simply never consider you as relationship material to begin with) when they find out you keep girl "friends" around. Many won't even mention your girl "friends" since they know they can simply find a better guy who doesn't feel the need to keep girls around as "backup". From her perspective - regardless of whether you think that is true - those are girls who you keep on the backburner "just in case" (read: they show insecurity, disloyalty or both - again, regardless of the truth of the situation).
That's simply reality.
However, if you're young and simply want to enjoy dating a variety of women without being committed to any of them, feel free to keep girl "friends". Just make sure to get rid of them if/when you meet a real woman who you want to build a great relationship with (and be aware of how those "friends" can impede your chances of finding a great woman to build a great relationship with).
Wow...there is nothing wrong with it. I have plenty of guy friends and I know plenty of guys with lots of female friends. There is only a problem if there is some sort of obvious sexual tension between you two.
It depends - are you including your gf in the friendship, or does it exist only outside your relationship?
Hard to give an opinion until I know this as well.
