I have seen the other side of this
I have seen a girl I like and told her that if she gets no better offer during the night we may hook up.... She is chating it up with a guy and I am happy for her...
Then as I am leaving I say good night to him and her wispper in her ear I am leaving last chance .... my bad......
She winks no all is good... I go elsewhere.... next day she sees my and the guy did not come threw.... We talk about it ... she did not to put the guy off on work in the future.... so in a nut shell she stuck with the guy to build his game????
As far as bringing a favorita to the SL I do that after the fun, that is where here friends are :shock: :shock: and mine
If you have a proplem with a favorita seeing another guy she knows and giving him a big kiss and a hug.... look out you are in for dispair-o-dice

Was sitting in the SL a couple weeks ago, I was pretty sure I had neither the energy nor inclination to seek out a short term romance so I started buying drinks for the girls I knew.

as it turns out while the waitress was asking the girls what they wanted, a girl I knew from a previous trip (no sex) recognizes me and waves so despite her sitting with a guy at the time, I bought her a drink. The guy she was sitting with hadn't.

Drink comes and she comes over and hugs me to say thanks, we chat less then 1 minute before she returns to her table all the time, the guy is staring daggers at me.

So, sometimes the situation isn't black or white. My options were:

Ignore the girl while buying drinks for her friends
Or buy her the drink and send her back to what was an ongoing negotiation.

I'm sure if said guy was a CRT'er (the kind that actually post) he'd be here complaining that some guy tried to poach his chica when the reality was not even close, the girls does nothing for me sexually but she's always been sweet. He hadn't bought her a drink despite sitting with her for a while, so was I wrong?


I would probably have bought the guy a drink too, I think?

This was not a casual conversation, the guy was way out of line. I would tell him the lady is with me right now. Make it clear he is being rude and can find another girl, or can talk to her some other time.

This is just another example of a guy who has never been schooled in the "man code." Probably grew up without a male role model in his life. The kind of guy who walks into an empty men's room that has three urinals and pisses in the middle.

can't they have some kind of sign like an airplane lavatory - "occupado" :) ok j.k. but seriously I think it's best to take the higher road when some a-hole tries to step in.

Really? Thats against urinal etiquette. If there are 3 urinals, and you're the first guy there, you take either #1 or # 3. Number 2 isnt even an option. When the 2nd guy comes up, you have the buffer zone. Unless you're the kinda guy that likes maybe sneaking a peek at the other guys junk...

Well....just so long as the middle urinal isn't the one for us shorter guys.....

You tall guys kindly use the urinals that were built for your height unless you like standing in urine as you urinate cuz it gets real old standing on your tippy toes to hit the target and sometimes a guy just says "Fug it...." and elects not to do the tippy toe route....onto the floor it goes..... Them lower down urinals is for us shorter guys...and the disabled, of course......

:shock: yea, but if you are cowering in one of the urinals by the walls, one might think you are rubbing one out because you saw a hot shrink wrap girl :shock:

My personal style is probably even more conservative than Mysnoatb, but honestly, his expectations are unrealistic.

You have guys from all over the world, with varying priorities, cultural styles, rules, goals, and levels of alcohol (or drug) fueled machisimo.

What is an Ahole?
It is a guy that doesn't do things the way you think he should.
And how is he supposed to know your secret rules?

You are in a whorehouse bar.
That kind of behavior goes with the territory.
Get over it.

I have NO problem (nor should any of us) with someone saying "hi" or a pleasantry to a chica while she's otherwise "taken." I even accept the polite inquiry about "are you busy right now?" Where at LEAST the person is trying to NOT butt in.

But asking a chica AWAY from another guy is so disrespectful (not only to the guy, but ESPECIALLY to the girl - I would doubt he would ever do that at a regular bar to a non-pro) that it crosses a line. Lucky for him, he didn't push the issue when she declined.

However, what would YOU do if someone did that to YOU and then tried to insist that she go?


My question is - why do you even care? When I as mongering in CR, I almost considered it a blessing when a favorita would walk away. It gave me freedom to sniff out something new. Unless you negotiated a session with her, and the other guy came in at a lower price, whats the big deal?

IMHO there was no foul on either side here. Many large and fragile egos travel down here....

And many novios and puppies-in-love too. Not a good combination.

Some of these rules are basic social norms. I'm thinking regardless of where someone is from (especially if we are just talking America). So its not so much calling someone an asshole because they aren't doing something the way I would, but rather clearly acting outside of the norm.

Its not my rule that if you sit in front of me in a theater to not talk on your cell phone loudly. That's an expected behavior per social norm.

Being in a "whorehouse" doesn't excuse a thing to me. That said, I think the original poster was just posing a question as to what other guys would do in this situation, there's nothing to "get over".

Cujo: all good points.
I meant 'Get Over It' in the sense that it's not worth thinking about at all.
