I work too damn hard on myself to let ANY woman enter my life and mess with my head (again). I have a vision of the man i want to be ,and obviously that man has certain types of women in his life. If the woman I meet tells me she goes out for brunch every week with the same group of friends.. i soft next her IMMEDIATELY.
But for the sake of the argument:lets check a few scenarios where it might be appropriate;
1. We're living together
We see each other plenty of times, so a weekly break isn't that bad.
2. Its culturally sound
Combine the previous piont with this one. Culturally it is sound and acceptable. And ON TOP OF THAT: i know these women! Heck, I even know their HUSBANDS (long term boyfriends..) when there's a birthday or special day, I'm invited.
So her gathering actually works as a social check up/ control mechanism that works to my advantage instead of a poisonous factor that kills our relationship (the latter will be the case 9/10 ,especially with western women)
Anything else = NOT LTR material. We can have sex, chill but I wont enforce my laws upon a woman who clearly tries to battle against me. If this is her way..hey that's cool..just not with me around

Everyone has his own view on life. In my culture it'd be a damn disgrace if your woman prioritizes her friends over you. Especially when you are NOT living together. I am working 6 days a week so she MUST invest at least one day a week in me. Because I also invest in her!! Money time energy and probably more! it would be a shame if you show up solo every time because your girls decides to be with her friends every week over you... i can't believe that men actually accept this.
if i meet a woman TODAY who tells me this i IMMEDIATELY understand why she's single..because EVERY man whose high value passed up on her already! ( and she probably ditched the " loose men" who accepted her ritual..damned if you do and damned if you don't
