Why is it, women?

hard to speak of this subject in general because each question you see (or dont) is a case by case question.

however, i think that you see more women asking these types of questions because, in short, women like to talk. women have more of a tendency of wanting to throw their ideas and problems to whoever (friends, family, lovers, whoever, etc) and bounce the ideas off of eachother before coming up with what they feel is a good answer for themselves.

I disagree, and I think it depends on the person. Maybe the girls in question are slightly insecure about themselves/their relationships (otherwise why would they ask such personal questions on Yahoo! Answers?). In that case you are only reading about the girls that have problems with their boyfriends having female friends, and not those that are OK with it.

You can take me as an example. I have absolutely no problem with my boyfriend having female friends because I trust him completely. I'm confident in our relationship and know that for him any friendship with a female is purely platonic. I, on the other hand, do not have many male friends which is my own choice because I tend to feel more comfortable with females.

man i definitely feel where your coming from I've been in a couple of relationships where my girl comes up to me after I'm done talking to a different girl and she's like "who was that" or "you two seemed real close" and then when i see her hug fellas that i dion't know I couldn't care less. Maybe it's a psychological thing that females are just more insecure than us. But then again some guys are really protective over their women, not as much as women but there are insecure males.

This double standard usually goes the other way. Women are doing it because they are tired of men's special privileges. And really, how many guys don't secretly wish to sleep with their female friends? Women, you know it's true of your male friends, and it's also true that your men want to be with their female friends. We all know this. Wanna know what I told my husband? I'll let him make all the rules and we BOTH will follow them. He doesn't hang out with the ladies anymore. There's a lot of 'perfectly reasonable' things he doesn't want to do anymore if I can and will do them as well. Guys, this works in reverse too.

From relationships I've seen, if a guy and a girl are friends, one of them wants some poontang play with the other. The other person might be completely innocent, but one of them are sure to have secret feelings, of more than a friend, for the other.

Not saying girls are more reliable, but think back to history. Women were expect to this and that be the perfect house wife and well man worked and partied o_o

That's just it. They want to be trusted when they don't trust. I guess that's just one of the many possible hassles of being in a relationship.

Well. Woman are more so jealous. not saying that guys aren't...because IM very protective if this kind of situation. But its just they don't want anybody around you that will affect your relationship.

Yes relationship work best when there is a mutual level of jealous.

who knows.. this has been going on since Adam was hanging with Jezabel..and Eve was hanging with jacob
