Who do you think is more likely to recommend a dating prospect? A women to a guy friend about another girl she knows? Or would a guy recommend to a girl they know about a potential guy for them? I tend to think it would be the women most likely doing the matchmaker role but I really do not know.

Being a guy, I would hesitate to divide my Harem up with other guys.

Probably women, because guys would keep the girls they know for themselves...

A woman, of course. She wants to get rid of a suitor she doesn't like. I guy would want to get into the girl's pants, not recommend another dude to her.

Exactly, guys usually recommend the girls they would want nothing to do with.

Well obviously a girl wouldn't recommend a guy she had interest in either .

I don't think anyone would recommend to their friends someone they took an active interest in and the possibilty was there.

If the possibility wasn't there, I do think most women would recommend "that perfect gorgeous guy" to their friends and men will mostly recommend the friend or sister of "that perfect gorgeous girl", just not her.

But why, if the possibility isn't there?

Not sure about that. I think some women have used a recommendation of another woman as a stalking horse for their own interest.

Both a guy and a woman may not be interested in a relationship. However, the guy is still interested in scoring, most of the time.

If I knew the "most perfect, gorgeous guy", I probably wouldn't be recommending him to another girl . He's either mine, or noone else's muahahah. No, but really...I'd rather not set him up if I had interest in him.
