Even tho women are understood to want to talk things through with women & it's a huge red flag if a man resents his gf's female friends.

For some reason, young men sometimes message me & ask how to find a gf who will treat them well even tho I am no relationship counsellor.

I point this out but recommend choosing a girl who has close, longstanding, supportive, friendships.This is also the basis for relationships

You will want to respect that friendship, make your own relationship with the friend but also give it space & not force the man to choose.
