Do married women like to have online male friends just to talk to? Someone you don't know or never met, but who will discuss with you through e-mails the things that you would like to hear a mans view. Just wondering.

I do. But I am part of a swinging couple so I am usually hoping my friendships could lead to something more.

I'm not so sure about the "getting a man's view" part, but yes, I think even married people like to have friends they can go to when things aren't the best with their spouse. Maybe it's just so someone can hear your side and reassure you that you're not being ridiculous. Maybe it's because we all like to be heard and spouses aren't always the best at really hearing. I think the online factor makes a married person feel safe with the fact that they're not going to their spouse for everything. The screen offers anonymity and detachment. I mean, we come here to ask questions and get answers which is almost the same thing only it's not specified to one other person. . .

I have online male friends that I talk to. I really enjoy it. I've been doing it for years and met many. Often a man will open up about some of his most personal stuff, and I have become a support. I talk with guys from all over the world. I've learned quite a bit about culture too. It seems the guys get a lot out of a woman's perspective, and it gets them out of their rut. There are a few that I've been in contact with for several years. I am like a sister to these guys. I am married, my husband is completely okay with it, and everything is communicated clearly. There's no chaos, and the gain I get is social time, education, and it seems to be mutual.

I don't know, I think it could cause problems, if the woman is needing to talk to a stranger about her problems and her husbands point of view, it is a concern. Do you feel like you have alot to offer woman? I mean, why would you want to talk to these woman about there problems and life? This whole yahoo answer and question thing is here for that reason, but it's not really set up for one on one. I think that one on one letters could evolve into more and then you have become part of the problem and not the solution.
It's either sweet or creepy, that you ask. you asked for married woman to respond, and now you are recieving what is like an
e-mail back. so mission accomplished. have a great day!

I can't speak for anyone else, but I think it's a bad idea.
Even with the best of intentions, I believe that most men would view this as an "opportunity" for them. I know, everyone isn't like that, there are "some" men who might want to be just "friends".
In my experience most of the men I was "friends" with, always wanted it to be "more" than just friends. I'm not saying it's "impossible", just unlikely. Maybe it's just "human nature".
If there's anything I need to know, or want a "man's opinion" on, my husband is the first place I look! It works for me, we've been married for 34 years!
Like I said, that's only "my" opinion. Good luck if you are looking for a married woman to be online "friends" with, I'm sure there are plenty around.

Point of view is OK but advice frm any one is really a NO to me because only you and your spouse really know the truth on the situation. Advice and the flirting with others may lead to an unhappy home, because sometimes you get mislead and especially when we are at a vulnerable state of mind. As long as your spouse know not to cross the line, I don't see anything wrong with that. We all at one time or the other confide in other people you just have to have enough sense to know what should be filtered. Good luck to you.

Married women who go on line to talk to men are not happy in their marriage. If she needs a man's opinion on something she has a husband to talk to. If she can't talk to her husband she probably has a father or brother she can ask. If all else fails she could go to her pastor. Too many women fall into a trap when they get to looking forward to an email from someone other than their husband or start using chat rooms as their confidants. I had a friend who went on chat rooms all the time and got to living through them. She was not representing herself in a true light ( she was heavy and said she was athletic and petite) and she thought she fell in love with the man she was in contact with and it ruined her marriage. So to really answer your question, only an unhappy married woman would be using the internet to satisfy her need to talk to a male friend.

If they have a man in their life they shoudlnt need to just talk to a male. Thats just weird. If its like a family member yes but non family absoltively posilutely not. That to me is stepping out of the marriage.
a wife should totally trust you enough to go to you with problems or whatever. Not some other guy.
If a woman wants to keep male friends for confidants she shouldnt get married, if a guy wants to keep female comapadres as confidants he needs to stay single.
Being married means you are one. Not you and whomever else.

On line friends and chatting is OK, but the media of something like yahoo chat can open some one up more so than meeting in a pub or club and you find yourself becoming very close to this person and thinking along the way that there is more to it then just chat (feelings)
I don't believe these feelings are real but I'm sure a lot of people are fooled into thinking they are.
And its not just married woman its all sexes all ages ..................and do you really know who you are talking with and if they are giving you some real crap............
Plus the fact there are some real jerks (players) on line of both sexes...............me! i will talk to the devil but then I'm not married and no fool to these chat medias anyway.

Yes they do like it.
HOWEVER, I know someone who had a male friend who corresponded through email. Eventually, the emails turned into phone calls. They started out light, then got a little flirtatious and eventually they were having an online affair. They got caught (because nothing is ever really deleted) and it caused a lot of suffering in both parties' marriages. Apparently, this is really common nowadays.
It's super weird but it happens.
