three-friends on the beach

Attraction is something that is instinctual. It drives from within our core. What we like, what we don’t like. Sometimes we are unable to turn that animalistic force off like a light switch. Some have mastered this and would never cross boundaries and lines. While others are not that capable. Acting on that attraction is up to that person’s free will. Take for instance if you have a friend that has a partner that is hot. I mean he or she is your type so naturally you are attracted to them. Now, while your friend is in a relationship or dating that person you are obliged to be on your best behavior. No flirting, no checking out his/hers ass. Time goes on and ultimately your friend and the hottie don’t work out. You secretly give yourself a high five because you still are interested in that person.

Idris Elba: Black Men Have Never Been Sexy(Photos)

Months go by and you happen to see that person at say a lounge or a night club and you both give the usual greetings. You start to catch up on all that is life and your spidey senses begin to tingle. Could he or she be throwing your some rhythm? Could they be interested in you? Your first response is to ignore the thought and take is as your devious, bestial, imagination playing tricks on you until he or she makes an obvious move on you. Duh Duh! Do you choose option 1: Remain loyal to your friend and shut down the flirting? After all who the hell wants sloppy seconds? Or choose option 2: You think about all those mushy ass romance movies where two people meet in an uncanny way, hilarity ensues, and ultimately the two end up back together and live happily ever after. Oh sh*t! That could totally be you and he/she. Plus sometimes it’s fun to pick off of someone else’s plate. Sometimes you like what they ordered more than your dish. Wink, Wink.

What to do? I have seen this scene play out many times and the response seems to vary by gender. For instance, men usually…To Read The Rest Go To YeahSheSaidIt

    Yes most people are someone’s seconds ( sloppily or not), but the eating off my friends plate shyt? Sorry not buying it.I can’t help what I don’t know! Example: You meet someone ,connect with them, date, etc blah blah blah, and yrs later while talking to a friend ,through casual conversation discover that you may have dated same guy in past (different time or close time frame etc) coincidence.To intentionally seek out a relationship with a friends ex, no. You can look at a person and feel an attraction to them, but doesn’t mean that you should hook up with that person. Then again depends on your relationship with your friend.Maybe some friends don’t mind if you date an ex because they have moved on and aren’t interested in that person.It just would be uncomfortable for me.

    Please…. If one of my friends wanted to date my ex, and they are feeling each other, who am I to stand in thier way? We’re all adults now! Just because it didn’t work out for us doesn’t mean it can’t be a beautiful relationship for them. Although it sounds tacky, it’s life. Don’t destroy your personal happiness over a moral complication, we all have been with someone else! Women are less likely to do it because of the competention between the females, but life goes on. Roll the dice and see what happens!

    I know most likely I would not be “seconds” to no adult male. I would certainly not date my friends ex. Just too many men out there and I would never stoop that low. I would never do it.

    Absolute no no…

    That would p*iss me off because if my friend would attempt to date my ex or vice versa, then that would make me think they had the hots while he and I were still together…

    meh i think what changes things is if people have slept together. that is sloppy seconds and when things get complicated. my friends and i swapped beaus all the time in highschool. they were just boys we liked one month and didn’t like the next. fun times~

    Men usually don’t engage in this behavior , usually women have a bad habit of stealing their friends man. Too many women to go around to be that desperate.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/more4les2004/ more4les2004

    I have to weigh in everyone with a seual history is someones seconds unless your both virgins….and i hear women say thier are so many men out thier to choose from but according to statistics as we age women graually outnumber men 25 to 1 or better and if you take into account what women say about sex …80% fake orgasms , then take into consideration men that fit the perefect image that most women want , faithful , sexy , and great provider with good credit then the odds are even greater …so thier are not that many good men out thier regardless of thier ethnic backround…….then we are now hearing that 70 to 80 Percent of women of color never find a mate …things look pretty cazy out here with women looking for one thing and men looking for something else

    Men don’t date their friends ex, but females will take their best friends’ man in a heartbeat and not look back!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Cotonpickin/ Cotonpickin

    It depends on the way they split-up, he was dumped, cheated on or she makes a move on me (especially if he loved her deeply) no I would not. However if he dumped her, cheated on her, didn’t care for her being his girl, he was an Jerk or it’s been a long times since the had been together then yes…
