What does it mean when a man asks if you have close male friends?

Okay, so as a man that has dated a pretty large number of women... by and large woman with a larger male network of freinds is a red flag to me.

It means that she likes to hang out with men, and have fun, but she's probably not long-term commitment material. Like she is purely there for the fun, and when it's not she will look up one of her "freinds" and just hang out with him and darn you to have an issue with it.

Like woman, and men honestly, with large groups of opposite sex friends don't seem to have a high enough level of emotional intelligence to understand what it means to be in a truly committed emotionally bonded relationship. When they do seek long term committed relationships, they fail to comprehend how opposite sex freinds can impact and impair their intimate relationship partners.

It means she wants to keep playing freind and not settle down. Or that she is so self-involved she cannot even comprehend someone else's feelings unless they are the same as hers.

Absolutely correct.

he's gauging your options and wisely so

this means how many hot fuckboys you might be willing to cheat in a potential relationship with if push comes to shove plus how many beta simp orbiters are around to sabotage any potential relationship

Because he may feel uncomfortable with you having “other men” in your life. Because, more than likely, those male friends have a crush on you.


Did you know only 10% of friends between men and women are purely platonic and not romantic in nature?

[Asker]

Wow that's pretty low and no I did not know that.

[Izzy_3991]

Ikr. I heard it once. Not sure if those statistics have changed or not.
But it's usually the guy likes the girl but she doesn't like him, or she likes him but he doesn't like her.

I believe the Wedding Singer movie has a song to summarise it rather well 😂

😆 yeah I'm not sure though.

A lot of men assume that all other men that you’re friends with are attracted to you.

[slatyb]

Are you in a relationship with him? Say "That's an odd question. Why are you asking? "

[Asker]

No I can speak for myself and no I'm not I'm single.

[Typhon_]

he wants to know about your relationships outside of you 2.

[Billlewis]

He's afraid that you'll cheat on him with your male friends.

[ProbablyClueless]

He wants to know what kind of girl you are.

[In_Trance]

Because when a woman tells you all her friends are guys it generally means one thing

[gorydetails]

He's trying to figure out which other guys you're talking to that want to fuck you.

[shades777]

basically anyone you plan on sleeping with or already sleeping with the first chance you get

[KrakenAttackin]

"How many fuck buddy's and simps do you have"?

[DarkWinterNights]

This.
