Why are guys so threatened by platonic friends?

Why are guys so threatened by platonic friends? A friend of mine was showing me around a virtual world the other day, i won't name it as that would just get this thing deleted and who needs the trouble? My friend and I have been friends for years, it's all totally platonic, we go<b> clubbing </font></b>together every month and chat about anything and everything, full-on double entendre chat because that's the kind of people we are, nothing more than a little teasing and the odd snog to freak people out when we've been very drunk. Her on line boyfriend was in the virtual world too and threw a huge hissy fit because he wasn't the center of her attention so she had to go off and mollify his tender ego. Now to me that's a very big red flag in the insecurity department, i have to admit that my kneejerk reaction was to fuck about with even closer to the knuckle jokes, that's the kind of bloke i am, i can't resist messing up anyone who takes things too seriously. It does raise the question though, why are so many blokes mortally terrified about their girlfriend speaking to any other man, no matter how innocently? Why the automatic assumption that any man she speaks to is just talking to her in order to shag her? Is it because that's what he would do or does? Is he pissing on her leg to mark his territory or just pissing into the wind? What ever happened to the idea that it takes two to Tango? That even if another bloke did want to shag her that doesn't mean he's going to get the chance? Doesn't she get any say in this? It just makes me wonder sometimes how a bloke like that manages to stay with a girlfriend for as long as he does when it seems pretty damn obvious that he stops trusting her the instant she gets out of bed in the morning. |

I think it's both reasons you suggested. Because it is something he would do (my mate has a saying - "don't judge everyone by your own low standards") and an element of insecurity. Maybe you're here type and he isn't. Maybe he's jealous of anyone stealing his limelight. Who knows. But it's very insulting to her to imply that just cos you might want, you would get. I could not tolerate a jealous guy who couldn't cope with me having male friends. Most of my best friends are guys and they have been around a lot longer than any boyfriend. Sleeping with them would be like sleeping with a brother - unthinkable. If a bf accused me of it, he would insult me and for that, would be gone. NG "What's wrong with comfort and efficiency?" "Nothing but no-one wants to f**k it."
