It might mean your worst fears are true. A bad bromance can ruin your relationship and if you break up their club, you\u2019re going to be enemy number one.<\/p>\n<p>But you aren\u2019t alone. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-2519907\/One-women-hates-partners-friends-bad-influence-says-new-study.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One in four women think their man&#8217;s friends are worthless losers.<\/a>\u00a0Here\u2019s what you can do to find out more about his crew and figure out if they\u2019re worth worrying over or if you should cool your jets.<\/p>\n<h3>How Do They Make You Feel?<\/h3>\n<p>First and foremost &#8211; how do they make you feel? Probably not great if you\u2019re reading this article. But why? Are they rude to you? Do they seem dangerous?<\/p>\n<p>If they are being rude to you it may be jealousy. Yes, men can be just as jealous as women and it comes out as jokes, comments, and cold shoulders meant to diminish you and your relationship.<\/p>\n<p>If they make you feel uncomfortable because they seem dangerous, you\u2019re dealing with something pretty serious. Are they into criminal activities? Do you suspect they are? If so, you have to assume your man is doing it too. Start asking yourself about their group dynamic &#8211; who\u2019s the leader, who\u2019s second in command. Men like to organize into strict hierarchies like that and that will help you figure out what the group is really up to when you aren\u2019t around.<\/p>\n<h3>How Does He Act Around Them?<\/h3>\n<p>How does he treat you around his friends? Is he proud of you? Does he ignore you? Does he let his friends pick on you? You can\u2019t expect him to give up his friends for you but you can certainly expect him to respect you and make sure his friends do the same. How he treats you around his friends will show you who is more important in his life.<\/p>\n<h3>Dig Up some Dirt on his Friends<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re afraid his friends are up to no good, put their names, numbers or social profiles into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spokeo.com\/\">people search engine<\/a>. This will reveal any criminal records they have, their past addresses and old social media accounts.<\/p>\n<p>If they\u2019ve got a criminal background you\u2019ll see it. This might be a deal breaker for you, but you should know what\u2019s happening with your man\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n<p>Your man\u2019s friends can be the best way to see what he\u2019s really up to. If they\u2019re cheaters, drug-users, and loser he might be too even if he\u2019s presented his best self to you. Check out the other numbers in his phone using the same people search tool. If he\u2019s texting a chick on the side, you\u2019ll see.<\/p>\n<p>A boys\u2019 club can make a relationship difficult, find out everything you can about them before you make your decision to keep him or throw him back to his buddies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can tell a lot about someone by their friends, so what\u2019s it mean when you hate your man\u2019s friends?
