Guy Friends Will Keep a Woman Single

[Vincent-ypgj]

Thanks for keeping it G rated. If you know you know.

[candellina]

I can testify. 👋
I used to have a lot of guy friends, but I've distanced or have completely got rid of my guy friends because they either confessed their interest to me or in public they would hurt my chances to look available to other men.

I might add to not be around your brothers a lot in public either because other men won't know they're your siblings.

[MrsVeronaShaw]

Thank you Mark for your wise words, I’m listening 👸🏾🙌🏾

[CrownedJulz]

Facts. We as men don't like to see a woman of interest with other men. We then lose interest

[CupcakeChan]

I used to go shopping with my guy friend we weren't interested in one another though, then I realised we both keeping each other single because people assumed we dating when we were not

[starshimmerministries]

This is me when I go to the store with my eldest child. I see guys checking me out, and then my son will walk up and they disappear

[dionnes.]

I feel some people are taking his message to far. You can have guy friends just don't go with them to places where you may typically want to be seen as single. Like if it's an event where you know a lot of single men are going to be definitely don't go with your guy friends or sometimes don't go with any friends male or female cause that makes it easier for men to approach you in general, plus no competition.

Master i will be waiting for you still

This is very accurate in my case. I have a guy friend that we talk all the time. over the phone video chat and have in person few times. But we are not romantically involved. The fact that I give him time my attention and plus I always talking and thinking about him sometimes. That could be a red flag. If I am looking for love with a man.

[MrsVeronaShaw]

Yes iI agree! It’s not a good idea to have a Male friends, especially if you’re not interested in them romantically. This make Friend will stop the Men you ladies want and desire, from approaching you, so you will find yourself without a Man you can have a meaningful relationship with! And the male friend may secretly want you to themselves. Blowing up any chances of you meeting any one! Get rid of your male friends!

Although there is truth and wisdom in what Mark is saying here, I think it can also be misleading. How exclusive should a woman be with someone who hasn't even expressed his interest? The verse he quotes from Song of Solomon refers to a couple about to get married. I am a bit confused as being exclusive with a man too early can also push him away.

[OffGridOverLander]

Sppot on, I won’t even ask names if I see a woman with a guy. It could be her brother, but I don’t care I’ll keep on walking

[PrincessPink-x]

Some people don’t want a relationship though

[veronicasarabia]

I am trying really hard to end my friendship with my friend . He has been my long distance friend for 6 years. He always text me asking me about my life and everything. I even spent a week at his parents house with him and them and his dog because he told me he was going to miss me ( he joined the military) .

But I started having romantic feelings. But he likes me as a friend just friend . But I don’t know how to tell him bye hahaha . I tried to do it before and every time I walk away he always come back months later and well at this point I just know he is my friend I mean I like talking to him sometimes.

I have been asking god to remove my feelings for him but even I was with someone else before he was still my friend and I still wanted to ask him for advice than asking my ex partner.

The other thing is if you have a bunch of guy friends and you go to them about things that's emotionally cheating. You're depriving your husband or boyfriend of the honor of taking and being the guy that you respect enough to come to when you need something. So the female perspective can't be the only thing women consider in regards to whether or not you should have male friends. You really shouldn't.. a famous Christian once said the only man a woman should be alone with us her husband. The only woman a man should be alone with is his wife. It's about guarding the heart and guarding that relationship because as Christians will tell ourselves you know I would never cheat.. the number one the most important idea of Christianity is we're all fallen beings.. we're all capable of the same evil. So protecting relationship by understanding the simple principle is not controlling or rude or narcissistic it's respect. Especially if you're guy friends don't stand they're ground and and call you out when you're treating a man who clearly went to college with you with disrespect. Those guy friends probably need to go. Subconscious bias can kill the right relationship for that woman before it ever got a chance to begin. If that woman really wants to make God have to compensate for her sins or foolish behavior in order to give her a relationship as a blessing so be it you're only going to create pain and destruction for yourself even if that man succeeds in protecting you and getting into a relationship with you how many of those people will be affected by your inaction because of someone else's subconscious bias. I am neither a creep nor a stalker. I'm a principled godly man who is very traditional and a "old soul" in my case there's no guarantee I can protect all her friends and family because I'm delayed by her inaction. When unforseen danger is dismissed by the godly woman but not the godly man one should remember I am but a man..I ain't Jesus Christ. I'll do what I can for those I love but they as well get to toss a coin in noise box and select chaos if they wish. I'm going to pray tonight for God to intervene so I have to do less as a man. All glory to God for any success. I want nothing but the results..God can have all the glory.

Some guys like the girls who are "one of the boys" type

[rechoice]

I agree. Thank you . Mark what is your opinion on friends or colleagues who try to sabotage any potential friendship between you and someone youre interested in?

[simonasimona]

What if this guy approches me in church, I am not interested but being polite I continue the conversation?

[peteypete]

Thiis is true, but even too many female friends in church could keep a woman single. Most men won't feel comfortable pursuing a woman if she's always among her friends.

[shakeenasmith]

I honestly don't feel men or women should have friends of the opposite sex when they are in a serious restaurant
