Just wondering if this is a deal breaker for any of you?
I mean relationship are hard enough withour creating doubt from the beginning..
Me personally I like a relationship without doubt, I do nothing to even cause suspicion to a SO, .
part of being faithful is not putting yourself in a position to be unfaithful.

I intend on keeping my friends, male and female alike, in a relationship or not. It's that simple, and I would never ask anyone else to drop their friends for any reason whatsoever.

I too like a relationship with no doubts, and I would have no choice but to offer my SO the same trust that I would hope for. If that's not there, then there isn't much to begin with.

If a man is not big enough as to be capable of maintaining friendships with not only women but women from his past...

well, it scores fewer points with me.
A person is the result of their combined experiences and to not be able to face those in your partner, I find rather bland. I bigger person has himself in control of these things, in my eyes.

I have some fantastic female friends that are totally platonic relationships. I could not give them up and wouldn't. The love I find would have to have trust and believe these are friends. All relationships are a series of compromises and each person must give and take, but no one should go into a relationship thinking they are going to change the other person. You must accept them for who they are!!! I have female friends. She probably will have things also. This is just life. When you love someone both parties don't have to be the same. JMO.

"Sorry meant to say even without a single friend they will find a way to be unfaithful". We are minds and spirits not just biological urges or else there wouldn't be a hell of a lot of people out there who have lasted for years together.

Perhaps it might be suggested you are defeating yourself by thinking of women or men as temptations or distractions. Faithfulness is not much of a sliding scale. Temptation is, but faithfulness isn't.

I feel people are not intended to make friendships for the purpose of gains. That's more of an acquaintance.
I would never give my complete unguarded trust to an acquaintance, but they would still get my respect.
Gains come from friendships. Real friendships give more valuable profit than any fortune 400 company could aspire to.

It would depend on whether I like them as well; and to be quite frank exs of any kind belong in the past....anything else would be in bad taste to me.

So if your SO had a life long friend, and you didn't like her, he should drop her just because she's a woman?confused

Not because she's a woman, but for obvious, logical reasons; if we dislike each other, he's disloyal to me should he continue their friendship.

What happens if you dump your friends, male or female, for your new dating person and then you break up with that person? Then you would be friendless.

If a guy is so insecure that he is afraid of the relationship I have with my male friends then I don't need him.

Besides, you guys know how it is to be in "the friend zone" with a girl. Those guys will never get to sleep with me.
Their purpose is to comfort me when my boyfriend is a jerk.

ok I'm not saying one should give up friends for a partner I'm saying them having male friends would make me not interested in the first place.

Thats why I hate the friend zone, and yes I HAVE slept with a friend when she had a fight with her SO, I was younger then and had a crush on her for 3 years at that point.

So you're looking for a lonely lady, a lady so lonely that you don't have to compete for her attention even from her friends.? The Japanese just invented something to help you and there was a thread about it here last night.

Sorry, I don't follow the logic in that. They were friends before you met, and if you don't like her, he should stop liking and talking to her? Not obvious to me, could you elaborate please?

Nope not looking for a lonely lady though if she was lonely I would not write her off for that either, just dont want a lady with MALE friends, a woman can have as many friends as she wants.

Human nature is complex, relationships are complex; sometimes we like people for whatever personal reasons and other times we simply don't click however hard we may have tried. I would not want to compete with friends I dislike in the first place for his time and affection, not to mention that people who dislike each other sooner or later end up backstabbing one another. I personally got no time for that and I expect to be his priority. laugh
