My guy friend compares himself to guys who like me and guys I find attractive. Normal?

[Purplefluff]

I'll point out a guy's cute and he'll say "I'm twice as hot as him" and stuff like that. Normal guy friend behavior?

Honestly this could be interpreted either way. Either he has feelings for you and is trying to flirt in some weird way and get you to say things about him.

Or perhaps that's just the way he is. Personaly I'm always an asshole and carry on like that with my friends.

When he says it, does he seem dead serious or like he's just joking around?

[Purplefluff]

He's dead serious when he mentions stuff like that.

[Matt21]

I'd say he's probably slightly jealous or is uncomfortable when you compliment other dudes.

[the-veldt]

he's trying to stay relevant and dominant , he's probably scared that he will be pushed out of his position , this is totally normal tho just try and reasure him

[KoenM]

Could be that he likes you or that he is insecure and that he wants your acknowledgement

[VooDooBooDoo]

He's hoping you'll agree

[TheUglyMonk]

Feeling a bit jealous and insecure

[TheUglyMonk]

I read that as boyfriend.
Might just be playing around unless he does it every single time.
