How do you feel about your partner having a best friend of the gender they are attracted to?
Ask your friends

I don't care what gender her friends are. I have friends of both genders myself. I don't think it matters what gender they are, it matters what kind of person they are -- I trust others less than I trust her.
I guess it's okay. There are things you can have in a best friend that you can't have in your partner.
I don't care. She can have as many as she wants if it makes her happy. I know--or at least hope--that she thinks of me as a best friend, too, and I know that I'm the only person she'll be with romantically, if that changes, I trust that she'll tell me. Sometimes I feel loneliness or jealousy, but that's my problem, not hers. I'm her partner, not her prison warden.
Not good. Only if the guy is ugly.
Fine.
I'd be okay with is, so long as I'm allowed to meet them and they don't totally rub me the wrong way.
It doesn't bother me at all. I trust my partner, and when there is trust in
a relationship, things like this shouldn't matter. In fact, I think that it
can be good. He can get an additional female perspective on issues that he
might be dealing with from her.

I could care less, honestly. I'm big on not restricting friendships in any way.

I do not mind as long as some boundaries are not crossed. If she sees that person once a week its fine. If she would go to the movies, restaurant and talk alone at her or his place every other night I would not like it.
Not keen on it, aren't there enough men out there to be friends with?
*sigh*

I'm not entirely comfortable with that and my husband knows it.
It's okay since I trust my partner.
fine。虽然心里会有醋意,但是只是自己的问题吧。

In order for it to work and there to be trust there, there needs to be a clear, honest verbalization of how the two of them would not be compatible. Otherwise, the friendship is probably more sexual tension anyway.
my hunny and I have mutual friends, his guy friends are his, and my girl friends are mine. Our couple friends are ours. That's the best way to keep it. And we are perfectly fine with that.
meh.
