Fair enough. I'm convinced that all women on Elitefitness are here for the attention of the men who are fifteen years old.
To the original poster- No, I do not. Also, I do not keep female friends of any kind. Anything a female friend could provide in a friendship would be more easily achieved with a male, as they are not made mentally inept through the presence of estrogen. However, when I have a girlfriend, as I do now, she must be not only a lover, but a best friend and uber-confidant as well. In turn, I must be hers. If I am not the first person she talks to regarding something (a dilemma or great news), and she is not the first person I talk to regarding something (a dilemma or great news), then there is something very wrong with our closeness to each other.
I know my girlfriend -every once in a while- gets jealous of me talking to some other girl about something (always unimportant, and merely an exchange of information), but I am not so insecure as to try and arrange for her to feel jealousy of my own design. That is petty and not something one should do if one cares about the person one is in a relationship with. In my girlfriend's case, the reason she gets jealous is because all of her previous boyfriends have cheated on her. While she trusts ME, she resents the women I talk to because she may feel they desire me. It's cute, and appreciated, but unnecessary.
I could type volumes.
