I was remembering an episode of Wings where Helen was being pursued by two guys that were friends. It was funny to watch because when one guy dropped her the other guy lost interest. lol then the guy that dropped her pursued her again and the other guy wanted her again.
It was meant to be funny but I'll bet theirs some truth in it. I wish I could find it on Youtube.
This goes both ways. A lot of young women are attracted to certain guys for the same reason. This is mainly something one sees in the younger crowd. I think this peaks in grade 11 and you only see it much later, in those with arrested development or gold diggers who are definately competing for a "certain" type of man.
Kind of like Kramer and the midget. They dressed the same and went out to two different girls and the couldn't decide which one and fought each other. LOL

This is more of a female phenomenon. Guys who are buddies usually agree before hand who has "dibs".
This is very much a high school attitude, and women are guilty of it also. Since men do tend to be more competitive, you see it a little more with them. I think it makes them feel like they "won" if they get the girl. When people are older and act that way, they are obviously very insecure and need to "win" to make confirm they are "better".
I notice that women are less concerned with their friends' approval in the men they date. That's why they tend to go for whatever guy they really want instead of all sharing the same romantic interest, because they aren't concerned if other women don't see what's attractive about him. This can be to a fault, and that's when you see women defending their loser bf to their friends.
In contrast, more men seem to need the approval of their peers, to the fault of excluding a better choice simply because she is not on their friends radar as desirable.
I grew up with six brothers and sisters. I learned very early not to let others know what you have your eye on--be it cupcake, new pair of shoes or potential mate. Once people see something is attractive to others it suddenly gains in value!!

I disagree totally with everything you say here.
1. You rarely ever see this with men. See my post above. Guys will almost always agree who gets "dibs" and then never compete. Women, however, with them it is more of a free for all. This is why you hear of the term "wing man" and never "wing woman".
2. Men almost never care what their friends think of who they are with. As long as they are getting good sex from the woman, men are okay with it. Men rarely introduce women to their friends anyway unless its definitely his girlfriend. The "on the side" women that men have can be fat, ugly or homely, but if she gives the guy good sex, then he will keep her around - but not necessarily introduce her to his buddies.
I almost think that the OP when created this thread, is really talking about women who want what other women want, but decided to do the old switcheroo to see what people think.

I've been known to be a "wing" for my son when we go out. Usually it's at a dance convention or something.
I think alot of times it's a case of somebody wanting what they can't have.
