Is it common to view another guy as competition for a woman I like?

[Anonymous]

I get nervous when he starts talking to her, he seems to like her as well

[jamesgoldman]

Yeah, I met my friend in exotic rentals when we were competing over a girl

I threatened to break his legs but neither of us got the girl in the end but he's made passively millions from me (I suggested he got into exotic rentals) and actively about 200k as well

[Asker]

@jamesgoldman Lol! This other guy is older than me, taller than me, and also a musician.

[jamesgoldman]

Musician, tough

[Asker]

yeah, he offered to play her a song

[ohsheeT]

No I won't use a women. As competition, it's her choice. . She wants him congratulations i.. if she wants to be with me she will tell me if I she she like him I respect that

[SunnyCaliGirl]

Yes it’s built into men’s dna 🧬 to forge and protect what’s his

[Asker]

@sunnycaligirl She and I are the same age, but the other guy is older, good looking, and a musician.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

Are you in a committed relationship with this gal at the moment?

[Asker]

No, she's just a single lady who we apparently both like.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

So it would indeed be your natural human instincts kicking in

[Asker]

I guess so, we were both talking to her and he started making her laugh and she was paying more attention to him, which didn't make me feel good. It made me feel like she was slipping away from me and gravitating to him.

[SunnyCaliGirl]

Ohh yea that feeling is never fun at all! Sorry to hear that boss, may your day come soon and keep your chin up no matter what may or may not happen

[Asker]

Thanks! She also asked him to play her a song that he's currently writing for her, so I may be outmatched here.

[Nikki1989]

Only for the extremely insecure or underconfident.

[i_Jedi]

Yes, totally. It’s pretty normal to see another guy as competition when you like someone. It just means you care and you don’t want to lose your shot.

[mysteriousNicholas]

Surely this is how women compete against other women -- 😜 with anxiety wondering if they'll score their prize fish

[Asker]

You think so?

[mysteriousNicholas]

Sometimes I wonder, just like guys, usually usually want the hot women or hottest out of a bunch

[mysteriousNicholas]

Depends on one's shallow lol 😆😆

[mysteriousNicholas]

Some prefer personality or hobbies, shrug 🤪 a musician, a artist, a woman who can sing lol 😆😅

[Asker]

@mysteriousnicholas Lol! This other guy is older than me, taller than me, and also a musician.

[Anonymous]

Yes people usually see good looking people of the same gender as competition

[Asker]

She and I are the same age, but he's older, taller, and also good looking.

[Opinion Owner]

Okay

[spartan55]

Uh... no... girls have the trademark on that... snap of it.

[Purpleronnie]

If you view him as competition , you have already lost

[RavVid]

Absolutely. Every other guy is competition.

[Asker]

@ravvid He's stiff competition for sure.

[RavVid]

Well I hope you win the girl.

[Jackblue]

Yes we men are competitors by nature even in our families, husbands and sons compete for the mom's affection.

[LiamJHayden]

It makes sense to consider that most guys might be interested in the woman you like, especially if she is single.

[Anonymous]

Yes, I think it's quite common.

[Asker]

I also feel he's winning.

[Opinion Owner]

Then your feelings are completely normal.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Common? Yes. Healthy? No.

[whereismyjohnny]

Make a move, mate. 🐣

[McLlovin]

Yes. Step your game up if you want her.

[PrettyCrumblBb]

You're insecure.

[Asker]

I got that

[PrettyCrumblBb]

How come you're insecure?

[Asker]

I haven't had the best luck to begin with, plus he's got a lot of qualities, probably more than me.

[Anonymous]

How do the 3 of u look

[In_Trance]

You're 30...

[Asker]

Nothing gets by you
