What is it about the English language that allowed this to happen? If a girl says she is going out with her girlfriends, people think nothing of it, but as soon as a guy says he is going out with his boyfriends he might get some funny looks or laughs.

Wow...we could go way deep into this one if we wanted to. It's the same reason that it's okay for a girl to be a "tomboy" but not okay for a guy to be "girly." Masculinity is admired---so if women are a little more masculine it's okay, but if a guy does anything to challenge his masculinity he's in trouble.

I agree those are what most people think, and the main one is Why? I think it comes down to, did I do something wrong, why did he/she do it? If your friends or family know about it and don't tell you I feel that's a huge betrayal. They either don't want to get involved but I think it's wrong for them not to, because then you look like a bigger fool when everyone around you knows but you. Both sexes need to be honest if they're cheating because it catches up  with them in the long run anyways. JMO

Funny you asked this question.  This is a constant issue with me.  I have male friends that my boyfriend is a little jelous of but trust me, they could never replace him.  My bf has female friends that I'm not threatened by anymore, but there was a time.  As far as my boyfriend and I, I say that opposite sex friends are perfectly alright as long as the couple knows where to draw the line and the "friends" and couple know not to cross it.

very reasonable, the flirting and inuendo that comes with a lot of girl "FRIENDS" is totally inappropriate now, you should have made your choice, you can only keep the ones who are JUST friends, you know the ones, they are the ones who the both of you can hang with and act the same way when she is there!!!

There is a difference between flirting with girls and talking to girls as friends. \nIf you think your boyfriend is flirting with others and you don't feel comfortable with that you should tell him, but you shouldn't try and keep him from talking to girls that are his friends.\nWhen you try and do that it makes people feel alot of negative pressures and he could think you're trying to hard to control him and walk away from the relationship. No one likes to be controlled, especially when they're not doing something wrong. \n\nI can understand you worrying about his flirtations, but if he's only being friendly and talking to people he knows, then it shouldn't be an issue.

Same with guys.A guy I worked with flirted like hell with me,then I asked him if you would like to go out with me sometime and he didn't even answer me,after that he wouldn't say one word to me or even look at me.But I am very glad he didn't say yes because I might be with that p*ssy,instead of with my boyfriend that I love.So things work out for a reason.

When a girl is unattractive or otherwise undesirable, a guy will act funny and dis her around his friends.  He's trying to give the perception that it's "nothing serious, I'm just using her" so that his friends won't annoy him about you.\n\nDon't worry, he's just protecting himself and you from ridicule.

It means he doesn't want to offend you I would imagine.  No offense but girls get mad about the stupist things (yes I know men do to)  A guy that is saying what ever you want to do is usualy trying not to make a mistake.

He could be trying to say no in a nice way.  (Sorry!!!)  I had the same thing happen to me.  I asked a guy out and he said we would...sometime.  Next thing I know, he's "kinda got a girlfriend".\nGuys are jerks when they try to be nice.

Maybe you are doing what you might think of as harmless flirting, but apparently your friends dont think so. They think its inconsiderate and disrespectful to them. All you can do is apologize and back off when thier boyfriends are around.

I`m going to have to go ahead and disagree with u, in my country at least, it is we the "ugly" ones who are with the gorgeous females, why because the pretty boys are so selfcentered and narcisist that they do not think about anything else.. the rest of us, are just looking to party and have a great time, u know.  Also because we really don`t care much about anything, we can say pretty much whatever the hell we like,  and that my friend turns out to be a great "FISH" ( which in slang translated means sweet talk).

He may have some feelings of insecurity going with a younger person, so that comment would have bummed him out big time. I don't think you were being insensitive or him being up tight, it sounded like it was said without any thought, but wrapped in the moment of chatting and laughing. Do you know what I mean? I sometimes say some dumb as stuff and then realise I said something that was offensive, but had no intention to.

I'm sorry that happened to you. Some people are way to defensive and try to read too deep into things. What you said was very nice, sweet and polite. Don't let a few grumpies ruin a thoughtful statement, if you read through some of the reply's you did make some girls' nite. Take care :)

yea but guys are hard to read and if they dont want to tell you something theyll get around it.....girls look to their friends to let them know what a guy is thinking cuz they know that theyll be honest and they cant figure it out for the life of them so mayb their friend can.

you know what those girls may not think they are doing what she is doing. is it a problem like he's too controling? and maybe she is putting up with it so he doesnt get mad because thats not a healthy relationship but if its just her i think you could make a mention to her whether she gets mad or not she needs to know? some people get blinded when they like someone that they dont realize what they are doing! we've all been there done that!
