If you start dating a man and realize he has a lot of female friends, you might feel intimidated at first. Are they judging you? Are they giving him their opinion on you? Absolutely. One hundred percent. Without question. But if he has been dating you for a couple of months, that means you passed the female friends’ test—they adore you, they gave him the thumbs up, and now you can just enjoy the benefits of dating someone who has lots of female friends. You should see it as a good sign that so many women have tolerated and even enjoyed his company for several years. That means you probably will too! If you trust this guy, and his friends are welcoming to you, then don’t worry about other women hanging around. Here is why it’s good to date a man with lots of female friends.

He’s probably not a misogynist
If this guy had any misogynist ideas and or behaviors, he would have lost all of these female friends ages ago. This should go without saying, but unfortunately, we live in a world where it’s still rare so here goes: hey, he sees women as equal! Yay! That means he likely won’t start doing things later like asking you to quit work to stay home and be a housewife.
