I've noticed that Men more easily fall back when their female good friends become serious with another guy. They don't get grumpy about not being able to call and text her at all hours of the day or all night. They don't pout about not being able to hang out solo whenever anymore. They never talk about how they were first and how sad it is things are different.
Why is it so much harder for women to accept these changes when their guy friend gets a serious girlfriend? |
| I haven't noticed this so I don't think your premise is accurate. |
This. |
Typical DCUM response just pretend like whatever OP states doesn't exist especially if critical of women. |
|
Examoles:
Wife is insecure/ jealouse. I came first so of course the girlfriend should be trying to get a long with me. Never seen guys say or behave like this. |
I agree OP but I don't know why. Typical women thing I suspect. |
Or maybe we just have healthier relationships all around than you and OP? |
Another typical smug and condescending DCUM response. |
| Because men want to have sex with anyone that smiles at them. |
To me, it just seems natural, but apparently, it doesn't to other women, and I see it time and time again in real life and on DCUM. Like why are you trying to compete with the wife/girlfriend? Sometimes I think it's because somewhere in the back of their mind they had the guy on reserve, like if it didn't work out with anyone else they'd end up together. I don't know. |
But wouldn't that cause men to become more competitive instead of just falling back when their female friends get boyfriendshusbands 99% of the time? |
Why do you assume your experience is representative? My DH has lots of women friends. Some are also my friends and others I don't know as well (e.g., his best work friend); none are threatened by my or vice versa as our respective relationships to my husband are not comparable or conflicting. I also have male friends and their wives and gfs have never cared. Perhaps you surround yourself with dramatic, immature people like yourself. |

You could be part of a circle where the men are high-earning compared to their spouse, in which case the financial risk of a divorce is greater on the women's side. This isn't about emotional crap, OP. It's about money, which seems an eminently sane reason to be careful about who is friends with who. |
Someone here is dramatic, and immature and it's not OP. |
Something can be all three: smug, condescending, and the truth. Healthy relationships don’t feature this type of drama. |
