Are my friends trying to mess me up with women?

[Kuro]

I've been wondering for a while, so I'm just going to ask. Anyway, it is only two guy friends and this is happening at the college I go to.

Friend 1 keeps trying to hook me up with girl's I'm not interested in. He could mean well since he seems to have low standards and I really haven't had success with women yet, but I just can't help but notice it's always the girl I'm not interested in. If I'm hitting it off with a girl I find really hot he won't try to hook me up, but if a girl I find unattractive mentions being single he'll put in a good word for me.

Friend 1 will sometimes join in on conversations I'm having with girls too, but it's always when we're sitting pretty close to him anyway. So friend 1 is the one I'm not sure about.

As for friend 2, I am fairly certain about him. There was one time I was literally sharing a seat with a girl and he thought up a good excuse to get me to move. He seems like he's often trying to one up me as well, either by bragging or proving he's physically stronger than me.

Anyway, how should I respond to stuff like this? All my other friends hang out in the same area, so I can't just ditch them without also ditching my other friends. I often meet new girls in this area too.

You have a couple options.

You could confront them about it. If they're good friends, they'll back off.

If they continue behavior, ignore guy 2 when he tries to enter the conversation.

It that fails, try to ignore him as much as you can.

If he continues to block you, you might have to be rude and eject him from the conversation.

As for guy one, we'll assume he means well, so just tell him that you appreciate his efforts to help but you simply have different tastes in women.

I hope that helped,

Jake.

If a guy I call my "friend" is cockblocking me, then he is not my friend. If you can get women solo, then fly solo man. Friends either raise you up or bring you down.

If you try to confront them, don't do it in an angry way BUT make your point CLEAR! Get this out of the way before it becomes some habit. You're a man, not some boy, and just like them, you don't want some fucking handout unless you ask for it.
