If anyone votes yes, you have major issues with paranoia and insecurity and you're probably socially and emotionally stunted, that goes for men or women, seek therapy

I always thought there was no such thing as a “girl best friend” or “guy best friend” but then one of my female friends I hag out with 1 on 1 a lot got a bf and while he and I are friendly with each other I can’t help but feel like he doesn’t like us hanging out together so we’ve done so way less and often she says “oh yeah btw (her bf) is coming too” so I feel way more guarded with her with him around

I think you don’t need to cut people off bc that is definitely toxic behavior… but you do need to be open to reevaluating the friendships you have with people of ur preferred sex. Even if you see them platonically, they might not see you that way- so if you get into a relationship I think you need to be more introspective on ur friendships you already have with the opposite sex.

i don’t think they need to cut them off, but they definitely should not hang out with them 1 on 1, it’s kinda weird and a bit disrespectful

Full disclosure if she had ever been down I would’ve been down, but I also think cheaters (and the people they cheat with who knowingly do so) are the scum of the earth so I could and would never do that with/to anyone

Like if ur friend wants to fuck you and you spend a kit of time around them withought addressing it that’s disrespectful to ur partner. At least that’s my take

this isnt really the topic tho. we were talking about friendships in general. but yes, i agree. a 'friend' who is trying to ruin the relationship/ cause cheating should get cut off!! its important to respect ur partner

It's really weird to me how many people seem to think it's utterly unnatural or impossible for men and women to have platonic friendships

i take it as THEY personally are unable to empathize with & connect to the opposite sex if there's no potential for romance/sex they're telling on themselves

Even if they do feel that way, that doesn’t mean that they would ever make a move, and it definitely doesn’t mean I’d sleep with them

Idk to each their own. When I’m dating someone and ik that someone else likes me I try to distance myself from them out of respect for my significant other. Just like as a sign of priorities ig. But also idc what other people do 🤷‍♀️

I actually think that’s disrespectful to your friends and the connections you have with them, but as long as you don’t make you’re partner do it that’s up to you ig
