So I think they would be, but yeah, I can only really speak for myself. I have rolled back through my memory, and I have had drinks with women alone before, though not much, but probably as many times as I've had drinks with guys alone before. I just asked my SO and she is OK with it, and thinks people here (we live in London now) would think similarly. > I think jealousy and insecurity are pretty common among humans of all countries. So right, this is interesting! To be clear: if my SO went out for drinks with a guy from work I probably would be jealous and insecure about it, at least a little bit. But that's my failing, not hers, and is for me to get over. It's not fair for me to stop her from chilling out with a friend just because said friend is a dude. So maybe that's the main difference?
