Girls, Why Do You Keep Close Male Friends Even When You Have A Boyfriend. by Rapsodee(m): 6:29am On Sep 25, 2020
There is this girl who has a boyfriend but she told me I am one of her five close male friends... I see no reason for her keeping guys around like that especially when her boyfriend gets jealous so easily but she seems not to be bothered by that.

Girls can be so carefree about their relationship as if it doesn't mean much to them whereas the guys would carry the relationship on their head like his whole life depends on it. angry

Keeping guys around can easily lead her into cheating but fortunately for her, it seems those five guys are good guys including me. grin or else her eyes would have seen pepper. lipsrsealed

So girls, why do you keep male friends around, for what benefits?

Yes, of course it is. Assuming you live in a culture that doesn't have a problem with friendships between unmarried men and women in general of course (not to say that I agree with that, just that it changes the complexion of the question significantly).

Look, we're surrounded by members of the opposite sex (or indeed, the gender we feel more physically attracted to) all the time and most of us don't feel the need to enter in to romantic relationships and/or random sex acts. Of course, if you're the exception to that particular rule then you might want to behave differently.

What you do need to do is consider your boyfriend's feelings, and what's good for your relationship. Is there a male friend you flirt with, or that you're very tactile with? Maybe tone it down a bit. Is there a male friend you confide in, and talk about personal stuff with? That sort of thing could easily undermine your relationship with your boyfriend. I think it's important to a healthy relationship that your partner is the first person you turn to to share personal things. Not the only one, necessarily, but the main one. Be careful what you choose to share with close friends (of either gender) about your relationship and about your boyfriend. Sure, this is your BFF, but is it his? Does he want your friend knowing about all the kinky shit he's in to? About some medical problem he has? What he's said to you about his family? Does he want your friend to know what you argue about, or about some nasty thing he said to you in the heat of an argument?

As with most things in life, treat your boyfriend as you'd expect him to treat you. Put yourself in his shoes- if you saw him behaving the way you behave with your male friend with an attractive female friend of his, or if you saw another woman interact with your boyfriend the way you interact with your friend, how would you feel? Jealous? Suspicious? Maybe you need to think about how you're acting.

Don't forget to consider how he actually feels about the things you do. Even if your actions pass the "how would I feel?" test, be aware that that's only a way to help you understand what his feelings might be, not a substitute for actually discussing his feelings with him. If he's uncomfortable with the way you behave and has a good reason for it, it's no good to say "well I've thought about that, and if I were in your position, I'd be fine with it". Similarly, if you know that a male friend wants to be "more than friends", it might be wise to avoid them. Spending more time with him might encourage him to think that you feel that way too, and may well make your boyfriend suspect the same.

Of course, this depends on healthy trust between the two of you. If you've shown yourself to be trustworthy in general, chances are you'll get away with a lot more flirting and touchy-feeliness (if that's how you are in general) before he objects. If you lie to him about other things, however insignificant they might seem, why should he trust you when you assure him that nothing is going on between you and your male friend? Be honest about all aspects of your life and your relationship. If either of you can't do that, you're on a hiding to nothing.

A word of warning- if you're asking this question because your boyfriend has said that you shouldn't have other male friends, be very concerned. Trying to exert control over a partner's other relationships- who they can see and when- is a potential sign of an abusive partner. Your choice of which relationships to maintain and how to conduct them should be just that- your choice. Yes, it should be tempered with consideration for your partner, but he doesn't get to tell you who you can see. If that's what's happening, get out of the relationship now.

Many women do not have a clue when it comes to love and companionship .
Many have a need to be appreciated, all the time, all their lives, from all of world's men and women.

Women are going to hate this answer, and give reasons like - do not control girls, their is nothing legally wrong with it, friends are an important part of life.

But the fact remains, it's their neediness that is controlling this behavior.
Yes, it destroys your chances of finding true connection as she has many open lines with other men who are waiting in line for that one night. Men are not any less creepy.you will know about these men in option 2 below.

You have 2 options.
1. Consider this wrong, break the relationship and find some one else. Do not try to explain why this neediness is destroying your relationship. She does not have the capacity to understand that .

2. Consider this right. Forget about love. Find your own platonic female friends to pass your time, when she is busy with hers.

Like most things in this world, it depends.

Is the man in question a practitioner of monogamy? Then yes, if given a compatible partner, one woman will suffice.

Is the man in question a practitioner of polygamy? Then no, he will prefer a few more ladies to just one.

But the silver lining here is that if you are looking for a man who is satisfied with being with one women, he is out there for you.
