I think a lot of people who complain about their friends sniping or cockblocking are just not really good at understanding what the situation actually is. They also probably struggle to understand the relationship they are having with these girls they claim are being stolen from them. I'm sorry but batting your eyelashes t a girl doesn't claim her as yours.

Not to mention you also might not be understanding how your relationship with the girl is conveyed(if at all) to the people you are claiming are stealing your women.

I agree with Custer. There's no calling dibs on girls. I don't consider a friend hooking up with a girl that was talking to you **** blocking.

I personally think most cases of guys complaining their friends **** block them or "steal" girls generally just aren't as good with women as their friends, are passive and not great at reading signals from girls. Obviously there are exceptions but I believe this to be the case the majority of the time. If you're competent I can't see girls getting "stolen" very often if ever from you

99% of the time I got sniped by a friend, I had explicitly told them I was going after her beforehand, and they just did it anyway immediately after. It was never something like her completely being uninterested in me, being all over my friend, her leaving for a moment, then me telling them I was into her. That I can understand being stupid.

I like this thread a lot. might post in it if i have any interesting problems/dilemmas.

I've wingmanned and had to get with a couple of pretty unattractive girls in the past to make my friend's date happy. These stories of cockblocking and sniping makes me angry, such a childish way to act.

Agree on the no dibs. In my experience when someone tries to block a member of the group what tends to happen is that they both end up empty handed. Blocking isn't about swooping in and taking the girl but rather torpedoing the situation so that no one gets laid.

I think it not so much a case of dibs, but if theres two girls together, there needs to be a mutual understanding of who is 'going' for which girl - if you both end up going for the same girl, then you start to creep into the cockblocking and stealing category. This is ofc always going to be a problem when one of a pair of girls is hot, and the other is not. Always lay out the ground rules with your wingman.

Agree with this completely. When I was young and naive i did this and it did not pan out well. If id played it cool and let things pan out naturally I'm sure things would have worked out better.

There's a couple problems I have with this. The first is how you have to continually tell people you're going for a girl - just act on it. The second (which is supported by your earlier story about hanging around a girl a bunch and nothing happening) is often I bet you have little to no chance with these girls. In the story about the girl across the hall you hung out with and were passive/beta it just doesn't make sense you get to call dibs on her.

You shouldn't have this attitude about your friends. Now granted, your friends could just be *******s and I would recommend finding new ones. You should work on correcting your mistakes - calling dibs on a girl should never happen, and you should work on being less passive. You can't control how your friends act sometimes but you can change your behavior instead of lamenting about how your friends always get the girls and you always get ****-blocked.

I don't think I've ever honestly witnessed what is viewed as sniping or ****-blocking or whatever is being referenced. All I've really seen is what Henry mentioned about some guy acting like an idiot and ruining the situation for everyone involved, including himself.

Sorry, but you cant just make the girl yours. This doesnt work, you cant go ahead and tell them that you want her.

From the situation, it's pretty obvious that you werent in with the girl. If the girl liked you, she wouldnt start dating the other guy just like that the next second. Chances are high that she never thought of hooking up with you or lost interest.

If you lose the fight against a friend, they didnt cockblock you or were a bad friend, the girl just didnt choose you.

A good wing man doesnt stand next to you while you embarrass yourself. If there is a friend of the girl getting in your way, he's there and manages her (to be honest, I dont actually think this really works that well, most of the time, if you are at the stage where the friend wants to destroy the potential, you are screwed) or he brings in girls he knows or met.

A wing man does not need to carry you two to bed.

Meh it's all irrelevant anyway, I have zero single friends at this point in time, I'm on my own and it's likely going to be that way for good

i'm a lurker so my opinion is irrelevant ... but i don't understand why people write comments like this on an anonymous forum. you're either exaggerating (likely) or looking for attention. definitely read henry's guide, best of luck.

The best wingman situations I can remember is to find someone who is really good with girls and you both go after two different girls who are friends. Sometimes its only natural if one chick sees ur mate kissing her friend that she's gonna want the same thing from you. I have benefited from this on numerous occasions. I'm sure henry and others can elaborate on why this is successful.

Bitches get jealous.

There elaboration complete.

I agree with Colin/CC, but it's not like that scenario is at all necessary in order to pull a chick.

This girl just texted me and asked how the exam went for me and said that two other students in our class also seemed interesting in taking a beer. She doesn't have their numbers though and neither do I, but I could get a hold of them if I wanted to. This isn't good right? What's my answer? I can't just say "Naah I want to be alone with you."

Do you kiddies have a name for this guy? I mean, he's a wingman (sorta), he might be a cockblocker, and he certainly is a douchebag.

Line on how many get the reference is 2.5

Given 95% of the regulars in this topic were not born when that movie was made that is a safe assumption especially given their musical tastes seem to be heavy into rap and hip hop.

Yes, I figured.

So I've contributed something to this monstrous thread. I would suggest that the quality of the posts would improve if the 20-somethings here would take the time to watch the film.

Aren't we all Jimmy?

Don't we all want Steph?

alright i got two questions. First, the situation.

So party at a friends house, theres this chick thats eye-****ing the **** out me. Cool, shes hot, lets go. So were flirting tons, tons of light touching, it really seems like I've got this one.

So I then propose some bull**** thing to get alone with her and she kinda pretends she didn't hear. So i push it a bit more and she finally tells me "I really really want to but I'm seeing someone blablabla but were gonna stop seeing each other real soon." So I get her number and she tells me to call her.
So not a total failure!

My questions are one, how much do you usually push to get a girl alone. Like, shoulve I stopped when she ignored my question or what? Cuz I think I put her in a bit of an akward spot, but she was giving every signal in the world that she wanted me lol.

And next, how long till I call her?

If you would have pushed any harder after she said she was seeing someone you probably would have been accused of rape

It is hard to get how hard you pushed from your recounting of the story so no idea.

My policy was always to never push. Open the door and let them choose to walk into it or not but that is it.

I wouldn't call her in this situation but that is a pretty non-standard play. By non-standard I mean I think not calling is the correct play but I expect 99% of guys will disagree.

Um, don't push?
