The 'Left Over' Friends
For those of you who are as of yet unfamiliar with the term, a 'Left Over' friend is most commonly a particular guy amongst a group of men that is notorious for preying on his friend's ex-girlfriends.
Be warned. These men are like bloodhounds...noses to the floor and on the hunt at all times. At the first scent of trouble in a relationship, the girlfriend in question suddenly begins to receive 'friendly' phone calls. "Just checking in to see how you were doing....you hangin' in there?"
Oh you sneaky, sneaky boys.
When the relationships ends, the phone calls escalate to invitations to dinner and movies.
There is no mourning period observed. No grace period for a fallen comrade.
"Keep your eye on the prize." Isn't that the saying?
They are steadfastly focused on that light at the end of the tunnel...that glorious light, that in their mind leads to the ultimate salvation...a piece of tail.
*Sigh*

Gotta hate guys like that! You'd think they'd learn after the first one.... I sure hope they aren't still acting like that!!!
Tact... a thing that a lot of men don't have!
Those tactics are so obvious. Humph.
Men!! But I still want one for keep.
LOL! Boys will be boys.
OMG! I know what you are talking about! As soon as I mentioned divorce I had about 5 of my so called 'friends" tell me that they could 'take care of me' since I wasn't going to be getting any from the ex anymore! What's wrong with these guys?
"the ultimate salvation...a piece of ass." lol
Love the way you write, guaranteed laughter whenever I swing by :-D
that shows a lack of respect for their friends and the women involved
Wow, that is predatory!
The problem is that you can't respect a guy like that.
He could be the one but you'd always know the smarmy thing he did.
On the other hand, I know a couple who have been married 22 years. They were TOTALLY meant for each other....and they met through their significant others...which they both had to dump.
Who knows how the right one comes along?
If it makes anyone feel better...the guys I know...never got anywhere with any of the women they tried to swoon.
What toads.
Those aren't "friends". They are assholes.
Looooooooooooosers
Lee is like that...HE is still goinng after them and he is getting married in Sep!!!!!!!!!! MEN
wow... are there really girls who don't see through that??
well, i guess there are girls who want get-over-my-ex sex, so maybe it doesn't matter if they see through them or not ;-P
OK not defending the tactic or the guys - As a guy, I can say we have a code. Yes Virginia, there is honor among us scum (men). Long-time girlfriends and ex-wives are forever off limits (this goes the same for your friend's sisters, moms, their former prom dates and girls they really like but don't like them that way - she just want's to be friends, awwwwww). But short-term girl friends and girls you have casually seen - take a shot, once you get said friend's OK. Breaking these unwritten rules can get you ostrasized or having to big up a massize bar bill. Once comes to worse, your friend get's a free punch at your jaw, then all is well.
ick. dogs. It amazes me that these guys still keep friends when they do that. It's a rule not to date your friends x. Unless its been a decade or so, and the relationship was never serious. Stay away Linny!
hmmm, yeah sound like real winners. They will be left over when they are alone some day...
LOL - Thanks for the warning :) There should be a 3 week waiting period, minimum...don't they know that?
Did you accept the invitation?
Goodness.
I have yet to meet one of those guys.
And the problem would be?
I married "that guy" (wink wink). He was better than the first guy anyway. They no longer talk.
There is no mourning period observed When my husband died, one of his more distant friends appeared out of the woodwork, calling me, hanging around places I went (like church, where he had never been before)etc... at first I was grateful for the help and support. But when I thought it was becoming a bit much, I pulled him aside and told him that no way in hell was this ever going to go anywhere romantic. He nodded vigorously, seeming to understand completely...and then continued to show up at places where he knew I would be - even a concert I went to with a girlfriend 100 miles away!!!!! What a LOSER - he was actually stalking me!
OMG you made me pee in my pants...hell yeah most guys do want just that
A PIECE OF TAIL
HAHAHAHAH...
