Things I'm Terrible At: Discerning If He Gets A Lot Of Girls

Is he? Am I waaaaay off-base about this?
I can't figure out if I have a chance with this guy or not. He seems to have a million female friends. And, he's always posting pictures where he's posing with a ton of cute girls too. What's the deal? Is he a Romeo or do all of these girls just think of him as their goofy younger brother?

It's driving me crazy. I'm not interested in competing for his affection, especially if dozens of pretty girls with names like Jenny and Isabelle are up on his shit. They can have him. But, do they even want him? I can't tell! I wish I was Deanna Troi and could read their emotions to get to the bottom of this.

My brain tells me that usually guys with a ton of female friends are the ones who don't get steady action. They're the "nice guy" of the group, the reliable dude all the girls spill their problems too. But, he's so cute it's hard to believe that anyone could keep their hands off of him. I don't even know. I'm terrible at this.

well being someone that has a bunch of friends that are girls, and fb pics and comments of girls, no play from them. I am just at ease around them, maybe to a fault, like what you muse over Anna. being surrounded by girls is a major cockblock.

but my new gf says that it is great I have friends that are girls, it shows that I am capable of more than just a good lay. i agree.

Anna said...

Ew. You said "lay."

I also think it's great when a guy has a lot of girlfriends, but yeah, it does make it hard to tell what his deal is sometimes. Obviously, once I know him a little bit better he'd probably explain to me that he has a million friends that are girls. And, if we got serious, I'm sure he'd parade me around to meet them all too. It's all fun.

Yo, I'm pretty sure that if you can rock a "Next Generation" line like that, it doesn't matter how many Isabelles and Rebeccas have their sparkly leggings up in his ish 'cause YOU IN.

Why do you care if he gets girls? Does it somehow earn him a "badge of worthiness"? Or does it freak you out that so many women put him in the "consolation prize" category that this means he's from the island of misfit toys? Really, people should be driven by how they feel about a person and not what others feel.

Anna said...

Hmmm. That's a good question. I'm not really sure what you meant about the "consolation prize" bit, but all I'm saying is that I have a hard time telling if a guy hooks up with a lot of girls or not.

However, usually if I talk to him for more than ten minutes, I could probably figure out if he gets a ton of action. How? Well, he'll tell me that usually people don't know he's available because he has a ton of girl friends. Something like that. It's a problem that's easily remedied once conversation is initiated.

I have this exact dilemma right now. A guy I like just friended me on Facebook, and he's surrounded by women in about 75% of his photos. wtf? How does he know so many girls?!? I'm thinking it's a good thing that women obviously like him in GENERAL I suppose.

Key sentence in this one for me, "I'm not interested in competing for his affection". Glad I'm not the only person who is very driven off when I start to feel like I might be in some weird competition. But then you start to drive yourself nuts b/c you double-back and think
"is this just me imagining this?". Once I start thinking in that viscious circle it's no fun and I have pretty much shot myself in the foot.
