Do you think a woman in a relationship having all-male or predominantly male friends is a red flag? Hangs out with them without her partner- Bad? (Page 2)

[nofilterhonesty]

Jealous types would be upset if you have to worry about the lady so much she probably isn't conservative enough for your monogamous desires , or you have serious pride or trust and control issues. That is a red flag for domestic abuse waiting to happen.

[EmmaMary]

How many more times are you going to keep asking?

Any more, I shall have to start considering them as being duplicates, and remove/delete and report them accordingly.

So my partner gets to tell me who I can and can’t be friends with? Not even close. If you can’t trust your partner around their friends, then you’ve got major issues. My partner does not get to tell me who I can and can’t hang out with.

If I were looking for an exclusive relationship I would take a pass on such a situation. She stays in the friend zone. I'm sorry, but I will NOT make an emotional investment in such a female. This is a hypothetical question, but in the real world, one thing I tell young men today is to look at her friends! Ask her to talk about friends and LISTEN to what she says. If these friends make you uncomfortable RUN LIKE HELL!!! In a pinch, she will ALWAYS choose them over you!

[Wester1967]

I tried to be nice and considerate before. Always turned in to a complete and total sh*t show. Rule #1 now is no exes, no beta orbiters, no "just friends". Nope zero nada. Get serious or get lost. We're playing in the deep end now. No longer in the kiddie pool. Figure it out.

[Tiptoetamm]

Honestly it's about trust. I trust the person unless I see reason otherwise so I don't have a problem with my partner handing out with the opposite sex

[DeeRocc]

Nothing about anyone's life and life choices is bad or wrong unless it's bad or wrong FOR YOU. However, that doesn't mean you should tell them that they're wrong. Just politely sad that you're not compatible.

Also, a woman having a lot of male friends, and you being uncomfortable with it, speaks of your insecurities.

[Valso]

If he has primarily male friends could also be a red flag but that doesn't mean he's gay either. My friends are mostly guys but they're all straight. The same way a guy having mostly women for friends doesn't necessarily mean he's dating/sleeping anyone of them.
Since I'm bisexual, the gender of the friends doesn't matter to me. I'll find someone to bang either way. 😜

[England4eva]

I don’t have many friends but the ones I do have are make only. I think the red flag is the type of interaction between them both rather than the friendship itself.

[ManOnFire]

Not a red flag at all. The opposite: Women with mostly female or all female friends are a red flag for me. Because these are usually the types who love gossip and they let other women influence them or tell them how to live.

[NathanDavis]

No, I do not think so...

but I am not a little insecure mitch as you are

which is exactly what this is... yet another attempt for validation on the stupid ass mindset that somehow you ended up with and can't get out of

[Curmudgeon]

It is. That said, there is a solution: make your wife/girlfriend one of their friends too. (this goes with respect to male friends of the opposite gender as well). It reduces potential frictions, misunderstandings, and other pitfalls.

[Splatmate22]

It all depends. I do not trust some woman because they always like to ruin things with other women comes to men. I only have male friends because of my learning disabilities. Just has grown up with men.

[PlaticXrealityx]

It's a red flag in general when a woman can't get along with other women. Of course it depends, maybe she has specific interest that only males have. But in general girls like that tend to have issues.

[Katya98]

I don't think there is anything wrong with that. The main thing is to respect and trust your partner.

[PhenomenalQueen]

For me I’m leaning on both sides… it depends on the reason behind. Is the guy willing to hang out/not? Is the woman not allowing it?

[SaoirseS]

No, not a red flag to me and you know why.
I think you've played out this question enough already, as @EmmaMary has mentioned.

[lrina]

i mean if a man is constantly hanging out with like, 5 girls and doesn't want his partner to hang out with them then that is kind of sus.

[KrakenAttackin]

It is a HUGE red flag. Why isn't she dating one of these guys? Hard pass for anything but friends with benefits.

[DudeDiligence]

Some of the best women I've known related better with men than women and consequently had more male friends. They seem to be more down to earth than a lot of others.
