It is a good idea to have a few female friends. Before you reply with criticism, let me explain:
I don't believe in being best buddies with women, but there is a point to having a few platonic female friends.
First of all, not every woman you try to mack it to will like you, and you might end up not being interested in her for different reasons. That's just a fact. So, these would be great to have as friends.
I believe that when women see and know that you have a few female friends they feel they can trust you. If you don't in my experience they will wonder, after some time of knowing you, why you don't. This will, of course, have a negative effect. And, this will result in you not getting very far with many women.
