GottaLetItBurn Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Yeah sure, you can have sloppy seconds if you want. That is just sad though, find some other girl. Your getting woman of the sale rack now? Basically it's just going to subconsciously make you feel like a loser later. I wouldn't do it. Link to comment
AntiLove_SuperStar Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Hmm, I'd be fine with being friends with a friend's ex, but I'd wait at least 3 months until I slept with them, and then ONLY if my friend would NOT hit the roof (or me) if they found out. Link to comment
AntiLove_SuperStar Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Actually, on second thoughts, my REAL answer is: I'd go for it, and if questioned, blame alcohol. Link to comment
Mr Mister1 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I guess it all depends on when the friend slept with the girl. If they were together years ago or something then I wouldn't have any problems. If they had just broken up then it could become awkward, if I had strong feelings for the girl thought I'd probably go for it. I don't do one night stands, so I'm looking at it more in the way of developing a relationship. Just sleeping with someone who just broke up with your friend is just wrong! Link to comment
brando Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 This is one of those situations where you decide not to date a friends ex, but down the road some years later the same friend you were so conscious about not hurting, betraying or whatever, would date a recent ex of yours without hesitation. If the attraction between you and this ex of a friend is genuine, then why not. Forget the ridiculous caveman code of honor...remember all is fair in love and war. be well. Link to comment
nottoogreen Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Actually, on second thoughts, my REAL answer is: I'd go for it, and if questioned, blame alcohol. My gf has her period. She went to visit her parents. Convenient idea, I could get drunk and... All in the name of booze, *cough* instant gratification. Link to comment

teacup Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 im a girl. but shhh. let's not remember that. i seem to be letting in on some weird man code i have never heard of before. i cant tell if u guys are joking or what. Link to comment

No joke... According to the "Rules of Men" (aka RoM) you are not to go after your friend's ex UNLESS she is rediculously gorgeous AND it has been at least a few months. Some members of RoM wanted it to be "if she breaks up with him she breaks up with YOU" but this was later compromised for above said rule. Link to comment
RayKay Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Depends on the friendship in my opinion, and what the friend thinks about it (you should ask them). If it was just a one-time thing between them, and he said go for it...well, then go for it. If they had something deeper, and he says he would be very hurt if you went for it...don't go for it. And give it some time, don't go for her the day after they end things or something! If you are casual acquaintances, then also, I think you can go for it. I know a lot of people whom were introduced by their ex's whom are together much later, and as happy as ever. Just because they were not right together, does not mean you wouldn't be. Link to comment
byates5637 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Personally i would expect all of my friends to adhere to the old rule of "if she breaks up with him, she breaks up with you too." I would do the same for my friends too. It just works the best this way. However if my friend was the dumper and not the dumpee, i would wait a month or two and then i would make my move. But then again i would realize that my friend dumped her for a reason and i would trust him enough to think that she may have serious flaws. Link to comment
Cecelius Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 In the rules of men the way we played them, if he had just slept with her (no relationship), then there's no problem with his pal doing the same. However, neither would date her because their mutual success with her would clearly indicate her lack of discriminating ability, and both would be too embarrassed to be seen with her. If he'd been involved with her and had no objection, then dating her would be okay but guy 2 would need to treat her reasonably well to avoid guy 1's wrath for mistreating his ex. Link to comment
Dako Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Depends on the maturity of the friendship. Some friendships are fragile and lack foundation. I'm currently living with a friend who dated my ex before I did. I was married 25 years and have known him 30 years. Some guys think for themselves and don't conform to the "rules." Live your own life. Link to comment
byates5637 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I 2nd everything cecelius said. I think you should only date your friends ex if he gave you permission. But if a girl broke your friends heart, then under no circumstances should you date her or even ask him for permission. This goes for close friends and distant friends alike. It is called respect.

nottoogreen Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 true. men are known to be much more logical. BS, my sister is 4 years younger than me and is an aerospace engineer and works on the design of next generation aircraft. She is much more rational and stable than any guy I know. Link to comment

Wow...you have this attitude about men and then you make threads asking why men are abusive to you and why you can't get any sex?!? It seems like you answered your own questions.
