I have huge issues introducing men to my sister because more often than not they'll be interested in her.
Now, this is the more common situation. My cousin has done this to me a couple times And I don't think he has any better looking than me just some crazy charisma thing. I'll be entertaining a woman, he stops in. She never looks my way again. The OP doesnt steal the woman away, which is what I was expecting to hear.

The problem? I'm the hotter sibling. Ummm, by like, a lot, then x10.


The problem that arrises from this has been going on since our teenage years, he however has yet to see the pattern that has arisen. I meet gf, gf displays look of , gf dumps brother few days/week later.


I can kind of relate since I have found myself in similar situations. Start dating a woman, then meet her obviously better looking and/or outgoing sister, then for some reason I lose interest in the original. Not that a particularly want to pursue the other sister (which I don't), just that there is an uneasy feeling I can't quite put my finger on that I could have done better somehow. If a gf introduced me to her hotter friend, I wouldn't care, but to her hotter sister, I some how all of a suddenly care? Why? Would you care?


Now I'm not the most socially adept person as it is. So as you can imagine I tend to alway screw up these rendezvouses. Me coming off as indifferent only makes things worse somehow. His last gf was quite good looking to the point I told my brother, you will never do better. She was a church woman and he a church man so I think that had a lot to do with it. Everything was going fine for months between the two then she met me and all of a sudden rockville. Brother calls me up just to let me know they split up because she became withdrawn and needed some time to think Bro, I'm the kiss of death. Get married first then I'll meet them.


Would you have a problem meeting a sibling who displayed better qualities than your current SO be it looks or personality? Would you let this bother you? Could you live with this temptation or would it be too awkward for you?
There is something to be said for actually admitting on a public forum how shallow and full of yourself you really are. I suppose everything you touch turns to gold as well Midas.
Cripes!!!

This is ridiculous.

I'm the better-looking (and much cooler) sibling too. But I NEVER show that to my brother's girlfriends.

Why?

Because I'm not a d*ck.

If competition for best looking women is a priority for men -which is understandable- it shouldn't be a problem when women have their own understandable priorities.
I think this dude goes for his brother's girlfriends....to prove some kind of point or sibling rivalry or something.

Really lame.

Find your own girls, bro.
