Well that goes against my code of appearance, sorry man. I just keep the buzzcut, side burns, black jeans, doc martens, Mjolnir necklace, and a band shirt. It's been my look since like seventh grade so I'm keeping it.

And here I thought California was supposed to be such an open-minded state

I have a lot of friends who happen to be girls. My first best friend when I was really young was a girl, before I moved away to a new town. Right now, I'd say there's a 50/50 divide between male and female friends of mine. I can attest to the fact that just because you have friends who happen to be girls does not mean that you're climbing in bed with them every time you close the door. Yet the paranoia always remains in concerned parents who are, needless to say, hesitant at the notion of becoming grandparents. The solution we've always used would be to hang out in groups. It's not as nice sometimes as having some alone time, but if you hang out with more than just each other, it's a little more obvious that you're not having six (unless for some reason you'd be having a threesome).

At the same time, try to understand where your parents are coming from. I may have a friend group comprised of equal parts male and female, but many of those friends are actually in relationships with one another, and they do have six when they can. It's not uncommon for two friends to become "more than friends" over the course of a single night spent alone. And while you may have no intention of that happening, and though it may never happen to you, your parents do not have the ability to read thoughts and know your true intentions. It's only natural that they should be so distrustful.

Maybe you can tell them you're actually homosixual. Then they might have nothing to worry about

I read the title as sixiest parents

I am disappointed :sadvaultboy:

This. I thought it was like a beauty contest or something and that's why the OP was mad.

My family is insanely old fashioned, that being said they absolutely hate the idea that my best friend is a girl. I tried to have her come over and then my family took it the entirely wrong way. They automatically think that just because I'm a boy and she's a girl that we are going to have six or something I honestly don't know exactly what they think but I'm pretty sure that's one of their conclusions. So my main question is that if you are a parent (or not) would you allow your kid to have a member of the opposite six over?

You're a 17 year old boy, if you're not gay, of course you want to do her - it's biology!!

My parents bought me condems when I was in high school and let me have girls stay over.

They said they would rather ensure we used protection than engage in risky behavior at some party or unknown location.

videos on you tube or it didn't happen

My parents do, and in the situation that I'm a parent (hopefully not for a while, a while being like 20 odd years) I wouldn't have any qualms with it. Hell, I've shared a tent with a girl and they didn't bat an eyelid.
