I have a number of female friends. Some are good friends, that I don't have any attraction to. Others are good friends I am attracted to, but don't act on. Others are acquaintances who I don't have any attraction to. And finally others are acquaintances who I am attracted to. Might be easier to explain with a few ven diagrams.
I don't mind if a guy has female friends. He has a life before me, and I respect that. BUT... those female friends should be respectful of our relationship. If he has a best female friend, then I want to meet her. I also think that people in relationships have to be respectful towards the other person when it comes to opposite sex friends. If a guy is single, then sure he can go over to his female friend's house and watch movies just the two of them alone all night. But IMO, if he has a girlfriend that just isn't respectful to the relationship. I would also be wary of opposite sex friendships that start after the relationship. For example, if your boyfriend or husband suddenly becomes close to a female coworker and starts hanging out with them alone and/or texting/calling them all the time, then no, that isn't acceptable.
It's really unique to each person what they are comfortable with. There may be chicks out there that wouldn't bat an eye for their guy to have movie night with a female friend. There may be chicks out there that wouldn't want their guy around another female anywhere ever. In my experience, the best way to handle opposite sex friends is know your boundaries and choose a partner who respects them.

There are people who are secure in themselves and their relationship, and those who are not. The secure people generally don't have paranoia about their SO having friends of a different gender.
We are secure. We have plenty of friends, both male and female. Some of these friends were even in relationships with us, some even in sexual <*gasp!*> relationships. They are now friends who respect our relationship and our boundaries. Sometimes we see them alone, sometimes together - ALL have become OUR friends, but that isn't a requirement, just a bonus.
