Why do friend cockblock in nightclubs?

[Mr.Rob]

Most annoying thing in the world to be having a conversation with a girl that's into you (or on the verge of being into you), or even just a girl you're having fun with, and the friends have the audacity to interrupt you and pull the friend away for "her own good".

Is that not the rudest thing in the world?

How obnoxious is it for two grown adults to be having a conversation and enjoying each others company and out of the blue some person comes in and takes the girl away "for her own good"?

Assuming the girl I'm talking to is sober enough to coherently make decisions, why can't she also make her own decisions of who she's going to have a conversation with. If she's clearly enjoying herself with me, even if I'm being a little physical, why on fucking earth would her friend want to suck all the fun out of everything and rip her away in an effort to save the day?

Then your left standing there with your dick in your hand like a fucking idiot wondering what just happened!

I know I could be more proactive and stop the issue before it starts by befriending the friends or being less physically aggressive but I find it a nuisance I have to be proactive to stop that in the first place.

Sorry for the rant.

What I'm trying to achieve with this post is understanding of where the friends are coming from when they feel the need to make decisions as to whom their friends are going to converse with.

Does anyone have any real perspective as to what exactly is going through these girls heads when they go to pull their friends away from guys they deem as "threats" (for whatever reason)?

I would really like to empathize so I can understand where they are coming from because it makes no sense to me.

Mind you I'm not talking about girls you're talking to that are being polite to you and actually want to leave, I'm referring to women you're talking to that are genuinely enjoying your company.

Thanks,

-Rob

Rob,

What I'm trying to achieve with this post is understanding of where the friends are coming from when they feel the need to make decisions as to whom their friends are going to converse with.

There's actually a multitude of possibilities for this. The usual one is just a friend protecting a girl from "perceived" threats (as you mentioned). Sometimes a group of girls will go out knowing they want their friend to get laid, so you may not get interference from those girls if that's the case. However, if the girls were looking to go out and just dance for a bit and go home, then they perceive a guy trying to "interrupt" that plan as something negative.

It can also be purely due to jealously (i.e. "if I'm not getting laid, then neither are you.") This one happens often with the leader of a group or with the fat chick who doesn't want to be the only one not getting hit on.

Also, it's possible the girl has a boyfriend and the friend doesn't want her cheating on him (because she believes it would be wrong or she likes the boyfriend or whatever).

There's really all kinds of reasons why a girl might interrupt, but I think the whole "this guy is only after one thing" threat is probably the most common one.
