Dating a guy for 5 mos. He seems a little jealous re: guy friends. Told me guys don’t want women as friends, that’s what males are for. True?

He said they want more otherwise they would not be around.

False. Totally false. I've got female friends who are really just friends. That's been the case at every point in my life since I was like 12. Some guys cannot understand how its possible to be friends with a woman. For a guy like that... it DOES always mean more. A guy like that, cannot look at a woman in any other way aside from someone they want sexually, and are angling to get there.

So, your boyfriend is being unreasonably jealous. Do not let him get you to drop your guy friends. If they're just friends, then your boyfriend is going to have to just learn to accept that. Period. He has no right to make this demand of you. If you were one of my female friends... I'd tell you that this guy sounds problematic. This is not a good sign. Tell him "no" and see what he says. He's going to have to change on this, or you're gonna have to leave. Because this is not an appropriate way for him to be acting. This is not right.

Suppose you tell a guy friend that you’re single, horny, and want to hook up with him casually, just a few times.


90% of straight men will say yes. And you can’t be hanging out with these guys while you’re dating someone. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Having a healthy relationship always requires some kind of sacrifice.

I think if any guy... I mean any... Who is sincere don't like male friends... There is only one lion king in jungle...

No such thing as "just friends"

If you have a man, why do you need "other" men, in your life, yes?

I agree with his opinion.

He sounds insecure. That's nonsense.
