I think it all relies on how you feel about your relationship with said S.O. Also I feel that this isn't only a male issue as my fiancee isn't that comfortable with me having female friends. Does that bother me? No, maybe later on but that's something we'll work on. My old girlfriend had many guy friends that I wasn't comfortable with. She was extremely flirty and I didn't totally feel like I could trust her. In high school, I was in a vocational school which was half an hour away and we had to drive to it. Usually when I'd come back from Voc, I'd have friends telling me how she was hanging all over other guys and other things that made me nervous. Eventually our relationship got pretty bad and she broke it off to go out with one of the guys that everyone was warning me about.
Now, did that affect my current relationship? For the first part of it, but I grew past that and learned to trust my fiancee. She's never given me reason to worry and if there was ever anything that she thought would make me worry, she's explained it before I'd even ask. She's gone out to dinner(college dining hall dinner) with some of her friends and gone on trips with guys and it hasn't bothered me.
So in all, I believe it's as others have stated, an issue of trust. I was quite insecure about my relationship with my ex, which may or may not have been rightly so but now, I am happy and secure in the knowledge that she comes home to me and not to any other guy.
