I have really great male friends in my life right now - and also there are guys out there that I was friends with as a teenager and we really don't keep in touch anymore but I would still totaly stick up for them like they're my brothers if need be. And I guess it's different because I'm married so there is no chance of anything ever happening but even before that, I always thought that it is possible for a guy and a girl to be just friends if that's what they both really want. Especially if they are both dating or married to other people. It's like having an extra brother. Well that's my opinion.
And I know there is a huge double standard when it comes to this because I think it's totaly okay for me to have male friends but i do kinda get jealous of my husband's female friends even though they're my friends too.. haha... but if my husband ever told me he was jealous of my male friends I would be like "WHAAAAAT?!?!??!?!" .. lol.... and I can understand how other guy's girlfriends may not be okay with their boyfriends having female friends... it's a huge double standard and I don't really know why it exists... but it does... soooo i do a little ditty and it's okay
thats so funny because the guys i meet are intimidated of my male bestfriend. I'm like "dude, seriously, if we never hooked up or fell in love when were young and foolish it's not gonna happen now that we're older and wiser" to me its almost incestuous or something.
This double standard definetly exists! I have seen it in action.
it's a hairy subject. it just depends on the people. how secure they are with themselves and how their mind works. it's good when a couple has an equally strong and easy going possessivenes of each other. trust and SELF-assurance that you're mate isn't thinking of another person in an improper manner or witholding jokes, fun times, or feelings TO ME is very important. also when you're together with someone for a long time an emotional shorthand is created and you know exactly how far you "stray" from you're mate when hanging with friends. this all could be debated forever though. so many variables.
yeah. I definitely wouldn't be allwoed to be friends with Maynard. Lol
or Jolie for that matter!
hahaha that's funny. Maynard > Jolie
