I don't do this either. If I want my new guy to hang out with my friends, its because there's some event we all will mutually enjoy and/or I think they'll really get along and sometimes it's nice to connect disparate social groups together. Usually my guys only meet my friends if we happen to go to the same show or party. 
However, if a friend of mine has good reason to think poorly of someone I'm interested in (but maybe don't know so well) I'll often consider thier opinion because none of my friends are shallow douches and they'd never say anything bad about someone unless it were warranted. For example, if I had my eye on a guy and then a friend told me she'd had a thing with him and it ended really intensely after 5 days with him writing obsessive 11 page letters and freaking out about how she's too cowardly to step up to what "exists" between them... or something like that... I'd fully reconsider my attraction to him. (This actually just happened a month or so ago...)

QFT. This also seems to be the consensus among other women I know.
I think the type of girls the original poster was talking about don't tend to frequent this website.

Sometimes it's about approval. But I wouldn't think it's all the time. There's also showing off a cutie to your girlfriends. Also, if she spends quite a bit of time with her friends it will be important to her that y'all can get along.
I've known of numerous times when my friends or I have been seeing someone and our friends don't approve. Rarely did that stop us from seeing the guy. In fact I wish I'd listened to my friends' opinions about a man in my past.

However, I have yet to have someone observant of my behavior call me out on it. So I suppose I just have my point of view, my ex-boyfriends, my family and friends.
Irs a subconscious thing. Chances are no one around will notice. People who neglect to develop their higher brain centers (exercise them people!) are the ones that act on the urges.
