> It's very possible to see them in totally indifferent light
Okay so then you're still not friends which is what we've been saying, women can not have true male friends.
Do not equate being friendly with friendship. In 99.9999999% of cases any woman a man CHOOSES (ie not forced by work or school) to hang out with he is going to want to fuck at some point even if shes objectively not as attractive as some of his other options.
Lets examine the possibilities for men in your partners life:
>Hes interested and so is she
<Backup dick. Probably refers to him as "Just a really good friend"
Mainly intended to replace you should you leave her or die or something but depending on the girl cheating is not out of the question especially if she become unsatisfied with your relationship.
>Hes interested but she isn't
<Orbiters. Most likely a coworker/college or an old friend.
If shes particularly callous this is basically a beta bux situation but most of the time these men provide emotional support or other non direct financial support such as helping her out at work/school. Very unlikely she'd fuck one of these guys unless there were serious benefits but she will flirt mercilessly and allow non-sexual physical contact.
>Hes interested but she isn't AND he has no value
<Thirsty Beta
Any association is forced due to work/school or mutual acquaintance. If she mentions him at all it will likely be to complain about how annoying he is.
>Hes not interested but she is
<Senpai. Often a superior at work or one of her female acquaintance's man
Basically an Alpha thats already been locked down by another female or is otherwise unavailable. You might think you're safe but the issue is she will flirt with this guy so if he somehow becomes interested or available you could be in trouble. (probably not worth worrying about too much though)
>Hes not interested and neither is she
<Likely a family member.
Other than family this is actually a very shallow pool, assuming your gf is even average looking 80%+ of men would at least be willing to bang her once if the opportunity arose.
Protip: If she has him on snapchat or similar platform and he is not related to her I can guaranfuckingtee he is in one of the above categories even if you think hes in this one.
