again, we are blaming the mother
|
| I used to be more open minded and dated a “nu-masculinity” guy once who was only friends with women and gay men. I don’t doubt that he was attracted to women, but he was definitely a little on the not not gay side too. Certain tendencies and habits slowly came out over time and I had to hard pass. Actually, it was relatively quick so we didn’t date very long at all. I think it’s what the kids are calling bi-phobia these days, but women are free to want what they want! |
I didn't view the PP as blaming the mother. I think its a pretty good explanation about why some straight men have closer friendships with women than other men. |

What's your insecure issue, OP? That he is secretly gay (in 2022), or a Hugh Hefner player?
Either way you should toss this one back and look for another guy - who of course you will ultimately have issues with too. |

I wouldn't date a guy who still had roommates at this point in my life
I also don't date guys with only female friends btdt, don't care how many hit dogs holla guys like this are always fbois |
Seeing as how OP describes an off-campus apartment and classmates, I’m guessing she’s still in college. |
| The title of the thread is interesting. Do you actually think that he is blind to gender? |
It's funny how we consider someone hanging around women to be gay and around men to be hetersexual. Even though it could be the opposite! |
I’m the one who thinks that OK should grow up, but I actually agree with this. Except I demand it to say that anyone who can’t be friends with both genders has issues. Women who can’t be friends with women, women who can’t be friends with men, men who can’t be friends with women, men who can’t be friends with men. All not cool. |
You analyzed OP well but this is not the answer to the question. Let’s separate OP from the question, it’s still a dilemma for most posters who responded to this thread. |
This^ Is a good point. |
You too need to grow up as there is no gender quota in friendships. |
| He's not "blind to gender." He's gay. Like, gay gay. |
I answered Ops question. Did you? Go piss off. |
I would say its a red flag in either case if they are both heterosexual and looking to date. Their prospective dates would probably wonder if the friends were really friends or something more. Whatever the case is, it's problematic if they can't be friends with same sex people. |
