But from what Ive seen most of the guys who hang with all or mostly girls are most likely gay. So I wouldnt even date them....

Your girlfriends never had a problem with this? I think that if you girlsfirend doesnt mind this and agrees to marry you then if it aint broke dont fix it.....

I'm married to someone with more female friends than male friends. I don't have problems with it but I feel uncomfortable that he still keeps love letters from old exgfs that he's now just friends with. Group outtings are ok with me...I don't know how I'd feel if they had private get togethers. shrugs. Im sure this is ok with most girls....

Men that have more female friends than male friends are sometimes considered "the gay one" or "that gay dude" in their community. (even if it isn't true). No offense.

They're normal, it's normal, all is normal.

If a woman can't handle her husband having female friends, she has confidence issues and silly problems she needs to work out.

Men make terrible friends. Women are often much more supportive and open in friendships than men are, and it's easy to see why (after a little persuading) men would choose more women over other men for friendships.

There was a whole thread about this a while ago.

It make sense that nerd man have more american woman friend than man friend. Gay man have more woman friend but maybee not. Most american man like video game, american foot ball, base balls, and american gang rap music very much and some man not like these things. Good american man like read book, art, and listen to good music from united kingdom. These man may have more american woman friend but are better than sports and video game man.

As long as you don't discuss your personal relationship with your female friends, it won't be a problem. Seeking marital advice from them is not a good thing.

Why don't you think is a good idea to seek marital/relationship advice from the opposite sex?

Coincidently, a cousin of mine and her present fiance were both with someone else at the same time they were falling in love with each other. I'm not sure how it happened but apparently they would talk online all the time and share their relationship woes.

I am a guy and I have more female friends than male friends for the simple fact I know how to treat a lady. Most of my guy friends are always looking to get in there pants and I am the guy that sits back and watches them crash and burn. It is funny. My wife has no problem with all my female friends either just like I dont have a problem with her male friends. We love and trust one another and that is all we need

I second this statement, and would also like to add that:

As long as your wife/ GF is your BEST FEMALE friend, then I don't see any problem w/ you having more female friends than male friends.

The problem could rise if:

1. You confide to your female friend(s) more about your secrets, etc., etc., rather than your own GF/ wife; and
2. You don't feel comfortable having your own GF/ wife become friends w/ your female friends; and
3. You discuss your marital/ relationship problems w/ your female friends instead of with your own wife/ GF; and
4. You hang out w/ your female friends MORE OFTEN than w/ your own wife/ GF.

I am way late on this thread. I still don't have a girlfriend, but I can tell you this. I have some close female friends and I am not gay. I am just one of those straight males who doesn't feel the need to present that "manyly man" image.
