Default Is it standard to dislike your girlfriend\'s friends?

This only applies to girls that you didn't meet through mutual friends. Your bank of friends is completely separate.

I've never met a guy who likes his girlfriend's friends. I don't hate them, but I don't have anything in common with them, and I don't exactly look forward to hanging out with them. They're nice enough people...

Anyway, from what I've noticed, this seems to always be the case in those types of situations. Anyone experience the opposite?

This might be related to the phenomenon of women remaining friends with other women that even they don't like. My wife has a couple of friends that are just terrible, and she knows it but stays friends with them anyway.

Good point, los. It depends on how you meet the girlfriend. I've met most of my girlfriends through common activities (club sports, church, etc) so frequently their friends also have interests I can relate to.

Meh, I liked most of my girlfriend's friends so far. Too bad she doesn't do threesomes ;-) In all seriousness though, I'm not saying they'd necessarily be my friends if I hadn't met them as g/f's friends, but dislike? no.

This might have something to do with the fact that my g/f seems to be easy to drop a friend if she disappoints her / grows apart / makes diff choices in life.

Ok, dislike is a little strong. I seriously dislike one of her friends. But the rest - I'd never be friends with any of them if not for her. I wouldn't refer to any of them as "my friend," and I've known most of them for 1.5+ years.

Does she have both female and male friends? Do you dislike both equally?

I've liked several of my past girlfriend's friends, although I never once said "I'm really going to miss (friend)" after we broke up.

However, I have said "I'm really going to miss looking at (friend)'s (insert body part)."

OP - you should befriend KotOD, both of your are huge nits. Presumably you would have a lot of nitty [censored] to talk about, maybe some new threads for the forum? Keep me posted.

I think I've met guys that do like their gf's friends, and it's very weird.

Sounds pretty standard.
