Answer me this….

Argh! Sorry, meant me and her boyfriend get on really well, hes a great bloke even my mum loves him and shes only met him about 5 times!

it’s been tough in the past with her boyfriends but now shes got one that me and him get on great with, so it works out in the end!

Do you mean she’s got two??!! :confused:

My best mates a girl, the amount of grief i get is unbelievable, but it’s definitely worth it we’re closer than i thought it would be possible to be, it’s been tough in the past with her boyfriends but now shes got one that me and him get on great with, so it works out in the end!

You know this whole scenario reminds me of a similar incident that occured with a chap I met once from Oban… Mind you he was the Bishop of Argyll at the time… 😮

What? You were accused of having an affair with the Bishop of Argyll?

Daz, you’ll just have to learn to live with the responsibilities of being a sexy beast.

Don`t make his head swell mate :diablo: 😉

Like others here, the majority of my closest friends are male, and that’s pretty much the way it’s always been. Funnily enough, the majority of my husband’s friends are female 😀

Ignore the old nags in your office Daz, it’s none of their business!

Oh yes mate, it’s Unheard of for two people of different sex to be mates and nothing more. Recently i’ve had untold of grief because im mates with more girls than boys. I just seem to get on better with girls- can talk to them better and in depth without sounding patronising or like i want to get into their panties. (Im modest too, 🙂 ). But to everyone else- namely the ‘cool’ crowd of idiots, i’m cheating on my girlfriend with every girl availible. Its silly and stupid, but incredibly destructive to relationships. My advice is simple. Take no notice, they actually envy you, your ability to connect with females without sounding sleezy or sordid. Its a gift, and as with all gifts, there are people who don’t appreciate it.

I forgot about that picture!!

I just think it’s a bit stupid that these people believe there’s some sort of sinister goings-on between me and whatever females I know. One of my best mates is a girl, and yes I got the same type of grief (usually from my own mother!!), but it annoys me that even my mother cannot see things as I do!

I have been a victim of this myself, with some a*sehole dredging up apparent “affairs” that I had ten years ago with female friends. This was fed to my last partner just as we were in the process of parting last year, which was bad enough on its own. She then started to accuse me of concealing facts about my past which made it worse, particularly as there wasn’t a grain of truth in the allegations. Fortunately, she found out later that she had been fed lies, but by then the damage was done. Fortunately we remain good friends, no thanks to others. I just don’t understand what they set out to achieve. I can only think they have very dull, boring lives and love to dwell on other people’s misery and I have no time for them. Maybe it is jealousy, as has already been said.

, and I practically get my throat torn out by two of the women in my office! They apparently think that I’m being friendly with this female to worm my way into her underwear which, frankly, is a crock of horse****!!

So, what say you??

:confused: why do they care?? … and if they poke their nose in to your business like that, I have to say why do you care what they think?? no I dont know why some people think its a problem – I’ve got a few female friends, probably a legacy from always working in an office environment where theres always women around.. Neil.

Isn’t it amazing that men and women cannot be friends without a mattress getting in the way!

When I was growing up there were no girls around, so I either had to muck in with the boys or play alone, hence I am great a football and climbing trees! But I do find that I mix better with men anyway, probably comes from working in a 98% male dominated aerospace shopfloor.

My best mate is a bloke, and there is nothing between us except for a healthy respect for each other, shared same sick sense of humour and the fact we are both out on our own wavelength by ourselves.

So is office work. Having friends of the opposite sex usually mean for some people that you have such intentions.
A colleague of mine (married) took a female friend and colleague with him once to go shopping, and once to the cemetary to go on the grave of a common friend, and some other colleagues promply started the rumour that they were having an affair. Out of jealousy apparently.

You have 2 solutions:

1) ignore them.
2) if your friend is also working with you, go to HR, or if you want to be nice, tell your nasty colleagues your intentions if they do not apologise to you.

I say they judged you by their own standards. :diablo:

there is no wrong in having woman/man as a mate..its so wrong how some think that there is something going off when all it is is friendship/mates …both myself en Greg think the same he has many female friends…no prop…..

I say they’re jealous 😉
