Married women shouldn't wear this, they shouldn't go here, they shouldn't work here, they shouldn't associate with males...

Na wetin?! Na prison abi marriage?

Very soon they'll say married woman shouldn't work with male colleagues, enter bus with male passengers...etc grin grin

Maybe you should not judge all guys based on yourself and your thoughts when you habe a lady as a friend.

You don't need to tell me to be careful. That would be stating the obvious.

A married man or woman who keeps opposite sex as close friend is already cheating emotionally and the real deal is only one pole away because one day, it will surely happen.

If you wanna hang out with a guy, why not marry him, why marry a completely different man from the type you like?

No it is not proper for a married woman to have a platonic male friend. If she really cherished the male friend's relationship, she should have married him and not the husband.

women generally never see anything wrong with having male friends who become uncessaryly too close. l just wonder how their Brains are wired, a wise man once told me that a man and a woman can never be just friends. one must be nursing some hidden kind of emotion consciously or unconsciously. women are emotional beings and can easily fall for the next man shez close with. when faced with emotional issues. l have seen girls who claim they are in a serious relationship fall for me in the past.Women respect your men and don't get too friendly with the next man he may just be a Dog waiting to eat you like the bone that you are.

That's Stella Damascus.. Like I said not every woman is the same.
Some are more principled than the other..

Am extremely principled when it comes to betraying friends or loved ones. No. Matter how sexy their husband looks. Or how rich and handsome he is.. Such men is off limits for me.. Have had opportunities three times to snatch my gfs, boyfriends cause they were coming onto me and they were very handsome, comfortable and intelligent.. But I place my foot down and turned them down.. For. Me., it's a taboo

It's not done.

So what happens to her male friends she had when she was single?

Not everyone can handle it but i see nothing wrong with it as long as she knows how to manage it.

Everyone suddenly quoting me and talking ignorantly.

Am i supposed to ignore male colleagues and guus generally because i am married?

FYI, my hubby maintained his female friends and it is not an issue.
You guys just calm down!!!


There is nothing wrong in knowing somebody whim you having a working relationship with,but it is preferable that a woman and man keeps their distant.
This I can 'manage it's claim have made many married persons leave their husband's house.

If he wants to be friends many unmarried Females are out there whom he can potentially marry.

Guy i have male friends the same way i have female friends. Whether you understand it or not, we need people for one reason or the other. And we check up on each other from time to time.

One of them even MCed my wedding and i have hooked him up with other events. And he has also brought businesses my way.

I see friendships as an asset and i don't have a lot of friends. Maybe my understanding of friendships is different from yours.

Even if it has not happened it will surely happen one day as the friendship develops. As said in the article , men can pretend for life. Don't be over confident To safeguard your marriage desist from male friends. don't trust men










I don't trust men but I also give certain men benefit of doubts, until proven otherwise.
With common sense, a married woman should know she can't leave her home to spend weekends in another man's house.
With common sense, a married woman should know she can't go on dinner dates with male friends.
With common sense, a married woman should know her family comes first before any male friend.
That's exactly what am talking about.

With common sense, the devil can also be avoided.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.
This is me just speaking.
You may be lucky doing that but the overall benefit of having a male or female 'platonic' friend or whatever while being married is not always palatable looking at the state of affairs.
Remember humans are not robot one thing may lead to another and there you have it.
I feel generally there should be a safe distance.
And not forgetting, using yourself as a standard is very wrong.
People are so different and so many other factors that come into that may potentially make or mar them while in such unsuspecting relationships.

After all,wetin I know?

A safe distance is necessary. Even my female friends i hardly visit not to talk of the males.

I won't put myself in a precarious position and try to test myself or the friend. So i am not being foolish here or ITK

Pocahontas life teaches us various lessons. my experiences were from back in the days when l never really knew what l wanted, l have learnt a lot about live, Trust and women. when a woman tells you just trust me and she even get to introduce you to the that soo called male friend it's like a free ticket to fucckk him with ur concept. l once caught my girl with a guy she told me was her close friend from fellowship at an Odd hour in her room alone.(around 11pm at night)they were not doing anything but. that wasn't morally right and that broke the trust l had for her. most male friends would always want to exceed their boundaries. their are times l had to run away from female friends who want to exceed their boundaries too. the best is to just avoid being in such a situation.

Not all ladies are like your female friends.
My lawyer is a married man, we are good friends and he has not slept with me nor even made any attempt to.

My best friend's husband is like a big brother to me, a senior official in FIRS, we became close through my best friend , when she introduced us during her engagement. He's from my state, our village is close, while my best friend is a Yoruba lady. He helps me professionally ,in short we are this close but it has never occured to me, to betray my friend and have sex with her husband.. Not even the devil can trick me on that. Am a fairer version of his wife but he has never hit on me.
And He knows I will never hit on him.. The respect I have towards him will fall below low, if he tries any hanky panky move. In fact none of us drink, so we can't blame alcohol. Our senses and Brains are up to date.

In short we are better off as family friends.

People should stop blaming Devil for everything.. And take responsibility for once!


Don't mind these guys. I don't know what they think a friend is.

I think it is this present set of younger people that cannot see past women being sex items/objects. So they cannot understand that a woman can actually relate with male folks without sleeping with them.

I understand you perfectly. I have always had more male friends than ladies and the only one i ever slept with was the one i got married to. smiley

This persistent issue always occur when a lady has an issue or quarrel with her boyfriend...rather than cooling off some where or do something productive with her time,and maybe resolving that same issue with her man later on,she will instead go and meet this male bestie and pour out her emotions to him!
...Now this male bestie,being a patient and secret admirer,senses a very rare opportunity and capitalizes.....soon a moment of cuddling and "emotional petting",which leads to a "mistaken" sexual adventure, becomes a regular occurrence!

Its even worse because its now taken to the social media where a lady will tell her seemingly unsuspecting bestie about issues with her partner(even married partner)...not knowing this guy has been waiting for a chance to pounce and take his fair share!

The truth is that folks(esp most ladies) just know how to attract unavoidable temptations to themselves and latter blame the devil....without knowing that they were actually the architects who initiated it ab initio!
Well,when a lady on nairaland boldly says there is "nothing wrong" if a lady receives or enjoys "innocent flirts" from guys both physically and on social media,then you know such folks lack maturity or self control!


Am not saying a lady or guy can't have friends of the opposite sex...however,such "friendship",if necessary or valuable,must be explicitly defined ab initio with strictly adhered conditions whether you are in a relationship or marriage!

These are my suggestions or opinions about this recurring issue...
1. Every relationship or marriage must be pre-defined to avoid stories that touch!

2. You don't need an opposite sex/same sex as a "bestie" when you are in a relationship or marriage! Nothing wrong with having friends as long as there are pre-defined boundaries which must be respected at all times!

3. If you want to flirt with the opposite sex whether on social media or physically,please ensure you are not in a relationship.You can't eat your cake and still have it back!
