This has happened to me a few times. It doesn't make a difference because I wouldn't do anything about it anyway but I was just wondering.

If you noticed that a friend of yours was interested in the same woman as you, would you give up on her because of him?

I think friendship should come above everything.

It's not about being kind, it's about being pratical. You can always replace a woman, you can hardly replace a friend.

Depends, on how interested my friend seems to be and how interested I am...
If I'm just you know "noticing" her then yeah, no problem i can give that up, but if I'm head over heals that might not be so easy...
I've dropped my tries on girls several times in favor of friends who were notably more interested in the girl than I was, so far I haven't been the one with the stronger interest...

This depends, if it's a close friend they're hard replace, but then again if it's the love of your life that's kinda hard to replace too...
I'd swap most "friendly aquaintances" for a good lay most days of the week...
I'd drop any ONS for a good friend any day of the week...

I will only consider a friend someone I've known for at least a few years.

I think friendship should come above everything.
I have given up in the past and let my various buddies date someone, even though I had a chance to date them myself.
Those defers are some of my biggest regrets as an adult.

trust me, very very few guys will 'give up' the chance to date a woman for his friend.
Over the years, I noticed this, and I realized that I made a huge mistake by not trying to date someone that a friend 'may have' been interested in.

I spent a lot of time single and alone while I could have tried to date a few woman that my friends dated. Fisghting over a someone is something I wont do, but I nowknow that no one will 'give up' trying to date a woman, just cause I am interested in the same woman. AND, some guys choose to hang out with other guys that are doormats and also defer to 'the bro'.
Don't be a bro, be a man, and date who you want, when you want.
over the years, you will see that many friendships change and evolve and/or fade. And you will look back and think, "That was a cool person, I really should have tried to date her. Why did I defer to John Doe? That was dumb."

After my blood family, friendship trumps everything. Sorry.
