Honestly, It really depends how you behave with your male friends, I don't mind if a woman I am dating has male friends.
But if for example you sexually flirt, or cuddle or rub them or let them rub their crotch on your on the dancing floor like how one girl I dated did in the nightclub, then come on.... that's when this 'friendship' becomes off-limit and "enough is enough" in my book. Not only I would feel jealous but I would also break up immediately.
You know, I couldn't even think of what you describe.
A hug, yes. We hug a lot in my social circle.
A coffee or lunch break together, why not (everyone pays for themselves or we alternate).
A beer together. Or two. Or five. We know our heads.
Sports together, if we enjoy the same.
But the boundaries are clear. Nothing sexual, ever. It's just... respect? They respect me and my husband. I respect them and their girlfriends (or celibate in one case). We are friends, we don't want to mess in each others' lives.
