Is it wrong to have women friends?

I don't think it's wrong for a man to have women friends, although I guess it really has a lot to do with the culture you were brought up in. I'm a female but I have a lot of male friends, and my boyfriend sees me hugging some of these friends and it's fine with him because he knows that it's just a friendly hug or a peck on the cheek that means nothing but friendship. I like having guy friends because I can play/watch basketball and play arcade games with them (and beat them sometimes! It's great for a woman's ego to beat a man, lol). It's also great to eat with them because they don't care about calories. But I also have a lot of female friends to do girl stuff with, like shopping or going to the spa. Maybe your girlfriend just needs to be more secure in your relationship, that you love her and only her, so that your other girl friends won't be a problem for her.

of course not its better!!!!

I personally think there is absolutely nothing wrong with men having female friends..the only problem i could see is that man's gf/wife etc having issues wiht it but that IMO is just silly....I'm a married woman and I have ALWAYS had numerous male friends...I just get along better with men than women and have since I was a kid...I'm a lady but also a tomboy through and through...The only issues I've ever had with having male friends is the males gf/wife being either jealous of the fact that i'm a woman who relates better to their man then they do OR they think I'm out to steal their man...which is ridiculous...Also I've had bfs who've been insecure about my male companions because of their insecurities....My attitude towards that though is, if you are goin to be my mate/lover/husband etc then you need to TRUST ME..TRUST that I'm with YOU for a reason..if you can't trust me then we have no business being together as far as I'm concerned...

I see nothing wrong in having female friends. Of course your girlfriend will have a problem with it because she is jealous. You have to make her feel secure. Good luck

There is absolutely no problems in having women friends , I didn't have any single good friend for my whole life in 21 years , since I didn't talk to any girl as I was very shy , but in last one year , after indulging in social networking sites I got my best friend who is a girl , two lovely sisters and 3 very good friends , ready to help at any situations, so what should I call this, i was not able to make a good friend out of a boy in 21 years and I made 6 great women friends in 1 year , i really treasure them , and it doesn't matter to me whether they are women or men , they are just friends for me.

i know this question is for men but please let me answer in women's perspective. i think it's really normal and it's not bad to have women friends. =)

I'm in your situation too, mostly of my friends are girls or women. Anyway nobody complained about it, I've been raised only by my mom so I prefer to talk with a girl than a guy and here in my country it's perfectly normal, being educated only by a women you you understand women better than men. It's normal my friend. I have some friends that are guys and we understand each other more than better but I have one best friend as a guy and 3-4 (maybe more) best girl friends. And I'm a guy, the only difference I learn to talk with girls better than guys. Girls are more friendly and the listen to you at anything while mostly the guys talk about of football or they make fun of you. Girls are more opened, we both, some of my friends are a small group of opened boys. As you know the man is believe to be a warrior with phew words that hides his thoughts and feelings and this true mostly of men hide their ideas, feelings and so on making them cold dry talkers. Hey don't listen to those who are telling you that it's "weird" to have more girl friends than men friends. Say to them I have more success with girls than you have and that you have more fun than they have. This will make them jealous and their mounts will shut(I say this many times and silence was next thing I've heard from them, along with their green faces hahahahaha:D). Maybe they are jealous, so ignore and have fun with your friends.

I agree with you. I too have many women friends, and I enjoy their company. There is absolutely no reason why cross genders cannot be friends and companions. Nothing wrong with it at all. Go for it My Friend. (God made both genders in His/Her Image and Likeness)

Hello there. It's perfectly fine to make friends of opposite gender. I do have many male friends. I also have many female friends (because I was from an all-girls school). I think you should not be bothered by what people say and live the way you like. As for your girlfriend, it's important for you to communicate with her what you think. You must reassure her that those girls are just friends and she is the one you love. It's inevitable that she feels insecure. That's why you need to do your part to be honest and sincere with her. Personally, sometimes I prefer hanging out with guys because they are more fun to be with and they are forthright. There are also times I prefer hanging out with girls because they are sensitive and supportive.

Hi cobradene, It probably has to do with culture, as ideas are different depending on where you life. There is nothing wrong with men and women being friends, even best friends, but it would have seemed strange 50 years ago, even in my country. Ideas have changed a lot in recent years, and now it is quite acceptable. In things like this it is society that decides what is right and what is wrong. Blessings.

I'm a woman who has always had male freinds.Yes I agree sometimes partners can be a problem with jealosy. But it just seems norma; to me.

Well why should that be a problem.....in my country is perfectly normal....why should you not have women friends.

i think there is nothing wrong to have women friends,i have several women friends who work in different fields,but they are all in my age.i can talk with them free and happy,they also like to be with me.lol.

please keep a distance from your women friends,or you would harm your girlfriend.women easyly make comfortable with man but not with women.you like them,just because you can get your male character and courage from them. you are a man.you should get your space from your man friends.we know we cannot make everybody happy.so donnot worry about your ability.you are ok.trust me!

I know exactly what you mean. I've had the same problem about people (even relatives who knew me )thinking I was a girl of loose character because I had more male friends. I did feel bad but then I jusst ignored them and proved that having male friends was nothing to frown upon and I could be a good wife and it didn't really mean that I was having affairs with everyone. Now that I am married and they see me handling my family well...they've swallowed their words. So, personally I think there's nothing wrong with your situation except for the fact that your girlfriend is insecure and if you really love her, you should make an effort to make her feel that she is the most important woman in your life and the others are only friends. If not, maybe she's not the right one for you.

Not trying to be rude or anything,but I believe it's kind of stupid for people to react like that about a friendship of this kind.First because it's not in their bussiness,second because it's quite usual and finally because women are equal to men,no matter how many people think otherwise. It'S extremely unnatural to reject women in any sphere in life. I have friends boys and we're just friends,nothing else. Just because we're opposite genders doesn't mean that we're doing something wrong by having a friendly relationship.

Hi cobradene! Indians have got a conservative outlook even these days when the economy has developed so much. I am an Indian too and I vibe well with males more than females.All my friends have stayed within their limits only and I too have never crossed my limits. As an Indian I have strong moral values and would do nothing wrong.The basis of any relationship is 'trust' and if your partner does not trust you the relationship becomes a 'nightmare'.

To me personally, i dont believe true friendship is possible between men and women. True friendship involves sharing, deep intimacy, soul opening i dont believe this is possible between the two. Where this occur, one of the parties consciously or unconsciously usually crosses the boundary and before you know it, one gets hurt!

There is nothing to worry about their is nothing wrong if you have a women friend. Don't think to much of what other may say as long as you know what you did is right and you did not violate anything.

well i dont think so..its quite ok
