I have never met a girl, who has male "friends" (non-married, in a non-married couple situation) who doesn't believe that their male "friends" are anything but friends.
Almost every single time though, their male friend, wants to bang them. This is why they maintain contact, however infrequently. Even in special or extreme circumstances.
Nobody likes it when I say that. Most don't agree. That's all right, because ultimately, I believe it's true.
There, I've said it. I'd say it again.

No, there's no "believing." It just IS true. Gee, I wonder why I lost all contact with my girl "friends" after I started seeing my ex... Coincidence?

I had a girl "friend" that was a complete riot. We were friends for years and years and never got anything on because we just didn't feel that way about each other. Yet the exwife came along and due to her insane jealousness, Viv disappeared into oblivion never to be seen or heard from again.
Sorry but this kind of jealousy is a dealbreaker for me. Especially if the friend has been around a lot longer than the girlfriend. It's rude and selfish, and how the new person could ever have the audacity to break up a longterm friendship that previously existed is beyond me.

I think I agree with this. I wouldnt have prior to my divorce but I couldnt believe how many "friends" wanted to date me as soon as I was divorced. Guys who were even friends to my XH that I would have NEVER guessed. My current sig other is someone who I had known and was a friend for 6 years. I never would have thought he "liked" me more than a friend. His take on it is that "male friends are a d*ck on a shelf in a glass jar that a woman can break open at any time." Maybe he's right. Needless to say, he isnt to hip on me having any male friends now.
Re: guys/girls being jealous of opposite sex friends icwtsmnl: My recent ex and I had a bit of a blowout over this topic. he didn't want me hanging out with any guys alone. in a group was ok, but not otherwise, and he claimed i wouldn't like it if he hung out with another girl alone. and he was right about that second part, even though i knew i would never mess around with these guy friends. but.....they did try.
Re: guys/girls being jealous of opposite sex friends Alphabet Girl: My male friends almost always seem to go away when I am in a relationship. I don't want that to happen again. My ex didn't want me having much to do with any of my male friends except for at work, so they were limited friendships. I hope to get this part right next time around. I wouldn't have a problem with a guy having female friends if it were all out in the open and there were no secrets. It seems like both ways (my friends and his) would work better if you could all hang out together sometimes and try to integrate the friendships, but it wouldn't have to be that way all the time...just thinking out loud here...
Re: guys/girls being jealous of opposite sex friends allilm: Several years ago I inadvertently set up my best friend from my home town, with my best friend from college (opposite genders) and they eventually got married. At the time I still kept up a lot with the guy friend, but as they got more serious and eventually married, I barely can get two words out of him. And I know it's not my girl friend not letting him talk to me or anything. For some reason I just get the impression that he doesn't know what to do with me now. Grant it, she was the only romantic relationship he had ever been involved in since I've known him, so it might just be what he gets like when he's with someone.
He's a Catholic Republican and I'm a Baptist Democrat and we use to have so much fun bickering over the issues. Awww, I miss that. We could call each other idiots one minute, then talk about what movie we were going to see together, the next minute. I need to email him.
