GENTLEMEN! What To Do When Your Friends Don’t Like Your Girlfriend by franzis(m): 3:08pm On Sep 06, 2014
You’ve started dating a new girl. She’s everything you want in a woman. She’s sexy. She’s funny. You can talk for hours, and you have an incredible time together.
There’s just one problem: Your friends don’t like her at all.
They describe her in ways you don’t understand. They see something in her you don’t see. For one reason or another, your friends don’t approve of the relationship one bit.
They don’t like it when you bring her to hang out. They feel like she doesn’t want to get to know them. They come up with a bundle of reasons they don’t like her.
So what’s a guy to do when his friends don’t approve of his new girlfriend?
It’s really simple:
You be a man
Just like Really, Really Big Man, you should make your own decisions. A man decides what he wants from life. A man makes the decisions about who he dates and who he spends time with.
Are you really going to let your friends tell you what women you can see and what ones you can’t? Are you a man or a child?
Personally I could care less what my friends think about the women I date because I live life by my own rules.
When you live life by your own rules, you don’t let what other people think affect your decisions.
In a perfect world, your friends would love your girlfriend and they’d all get along and be great buddies. In a perfect world, you’d all be able to hang out together with no problems. Sadly we don’t live in a perfect world.
You aren’t 9 years old anymore
This isn’t “The Little Rascals.” The time you spend with your friends should be the time you spend with your friends and nobody else.
And the time you spend with your girlfriend should be the time you spend with your girlfriend and nobody else. These are two separate worlds.
Tell your friends they’re overreacting and you don’t intend to give up on this woman. Let them know you value their friendship and they’re opinion, but you make the decisions about who you date.
It’s crazy to let other people dictate to you how you live your life, even if those people are your friends.
One thing I’ve learned in my life is friends give the worst dating advice. They have an interest in what happens to you, so any advice they give isn’t impartial.
When it comes down to women, hold your ground, guys. Date whoever you want, and don’t worry about what your friends think. If they’re true friends, they’d give you their blessings and let you get on with it.

You find out why they don't like her. If the reasons given is not cogent or compelling enough and you're satisfied she's a good person, then you continue with your relationship. The opinion of your friends cannot override yours.

..Okay, we know you are old enough to choose for yourself....We know you are no longer a boy...You are a man....A grown-a*s man....Your friends cant choose for you...They have no right atall..
..But, come to think of it....Do you know that the rate at which your relationship develops depends on your friends approval...especially your bestfriend....

...Guys gossip alot...They talk about their girlfriends....Even if they lie about her, it ll get to a point you ll start believing them....when you guys have problems and you seek advice from them...What kind of advice do you think they ll give?...

..My advice, ensure your gf has a cordial relatnship with them..am not saying she shud try n please them anyway....You guys knw how you can tackle issues like that....

@OP
i simply have to disagree with you, there is NO REASON to choose if your friend dont like your girl. you have to respect BOTH of them (new girl and buddies) and therefore accept that fact and see each of them at different times.... its harder but not impossible.

why should you automatically drop one to be with the other? no true friend would ask you to do that, they will simply ask you not to bring the witch around them, lol!

My friends are even wooing her behind me

One of the rules of male/female magnetism is that when a guy likes a girl, automatically, his friends(for no reason) like her too. When they dont then it breaks such rules and there is really a problem somewhere which i doubt all your friends can be wrong at the same time.
Re: GENTLEMEN! What To Do When Your Friends Don’t Like Your Girlfriend by Nobody: 7:20pm On Sep 06, 2014
valmunich: Then that Gurl is going, My Nighaz are my Nighaz!

when all your "nighaz" will now go home with their respective GFs, you will be here telling us all that you are lonely and cant find a good woman, lol.

what you experience with your woman is different than what they will experience with her, so no matter how hard you try, they can never feel her the way you do. all these flimsy excuse posted by the OP are not legitimate to drop someone. your true friends will warn you countless times but thats it..... what biatch friend would ask you to drop your gf for such flimsy reasons?

If I get a new girl friend, I date her for over 6 months before my friends get to meet her. I have never had such problems...

Never fall in love with a girl tour friends don't like.

Its a personal thing if the guy decides to ignore all they say and is so strong on his choice. Its all up to him.

In some cases,one can be blinded by love,he doesn't see anything wrong in his partner but his friends does. If 99% of your friends are complaining about her,its high time you try to see things fom the other perspective.

True. They'll want you to dump her so they'll take over.
