Waitress Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Someone here mentioned that sometimes men use a tactic of flirting with their "targets" female friend in order to create competition. Wouldn't this just make the "target" annoyed? Do guys want what their own friends have?
Soul Bear Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Only when we are about 14 years old...My little brother used to do that whn i was about 16 or so, and it really did piss me off. I think the older you get, the more mature you are and the more respect you have for your friends and know when to draw the line.
PJKino Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 Ive never seen it most of my friends let it be known who theyre targeting and the mens code is not too go after a girl your friend likes Where not like Women we actually believe theyres more fish in the sea we dont pull each others hair out over one girl..
ADF Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 This is a very interesting question. Often, male social groups tend to be hierarchical, with men forever trying to assert dominance over each other. One way to do that is to hit on someone they think their male friend might be interested in. The woman is often little more than a prop. The real conflict is between the men. One man is essentially staking claim to another man's property--sorry to put it that way, but it captures the thought process--and daring him to do something about it.
BobSacamento Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I have seen it done before. The guy pretty much gets thrown on the d bag list. With that you lose rights and you are routinely accidentally forgotten from the invite lists to future parties and get togethers.
Curious-One Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 I dont think people do that when they grow older.
edward-e Posted December 12, 2009 Posted December 12, 2009 my "friend" does this all the time..hes actually my brothers friend, ive just known him for like 15 years. hes 27 and he stole his best friend at the times wife. then he slept with his other friends wife. then he knew i liked this girl and shes 100 percent not his type at all and he went after her. some guys are just losers with low self esteem and its an ego boost for them to take someones girl. makes em feel better about themselves.
