What reason do I intentionally choose to hang out with a female friend? For the same reason I hang out with my male friends. I enjoy their company, I respect the person and the friendship and having a friendship with the person brings me happiness.
If you truly feel like you are not able to have a friendship with a female that is your call and your decision. But it is 100% possible to have a friendship with an individual of the opposite sex, and you are probably closing the door on what could be some great friendships a lot of of good times just because they are female.

While I respect your opinion, I have met very few females that share the same interests that I have. Even if there were a few, I could just do those with men anyway. And male friends are easier to relate with (at least that's how I feel).
My girlfriend is the farthest from controlling, so it's not that I can't hang out with other women.
But if you're willing to admit that mans usual first thing to judge is based on looks (even if it's unconscious), and I do the things I can't do with my girlfriend with guy friends then what is the benefit of a true friendship with a female?
While I don't believe my girlfriend would be threatened, there's no point of making her feel threatened either. Especially when I feel I gain nothing from being friends with a female.
This is a long winded answer of saying I genuinely don't see any benefit of a true friendship with a women that I don't get from my guy friends or girlfriend. Like I don't feel I'm missing anything. And I don't want not to put myself in a position of risking anything.
I guess you feel like you are missing something without having friends who are females that aren't your girlfriend/wife.
