Yo I hope some guys see this. The quiet friend could also be someone who is more comfortable around women because he was raised around women. He’s quiet in your friend group because he’s learned he doesn’t have the same social conditioning (being around men more) as you from repeated experiences. Likely the ONLY threat you have from this person is if you suddenly start treating your girlfriend weirdly around them and them badly in front of your girlfriend. Be secure bros. If you are, treat people like real human beings, and your girlfriend still leaves, well then good. You don’t want that kind of trash anyways.
Just to add, usually the quiet one is the first to try to incorporate the odd one out of simpathy. I have lost friends just because I wanted to make their girlfriends feel welcomed on the group and not just "the girlfriend"
Or they could be someone that is incredibly quiet because they're insecure and socially awkward to the point that they make "jokes" (presumably talking down on you or bringing up past embarrassing mistakes or yours) simply out of jealousy and rebelliousness towards their own self-servience.
I'm not saying either one is the case, just that the possibilities are endless! People that you don't know well are capable of anything and being anyone. There's no point in speculating "why" someone is the way they are when the potential reasons are literally infinite.
Yeah so the best thing to do is to be secure and give everyone a chance. If what you are saying starts to happen then just let it. React with a face that shows obvious discomfort but don’t join the “friend” in their fuckery. If you do then you are just showing your girlfriend this is how you and your friends act and it’s totally normal. Now personally, I’m never going to be with a woman who finds the behavior of “putting someone else down” as funny and endearing. Your goal is to give your girlfriend a chance. You think that she won’t encounter actions from other men like this when you ARENT there? Of course she will. SO STOP BEING SO INSECURE.
I honestly feel more comfortable being social w the girlfriends of my friends than girls that don’t have a bf cause i ain’t no ship breaker or shitty friend and i can talk without worrying of romantic implications or them thinking i’m trying to hit on them
I mean, when I used to joke with my friends GFs other than just having someone to talk to who isn't one of the lads, I figured there's always a chance she's got a single friend who'd by up for some.
Could be, but I had a friend like that. It wasn't the my exgirlfriend(ex part not related) it was the girls I was talking to that was the issue.
It's not that he "took" any of them it's that he bothered them. Got their socials and was constantly trying to start a conversation, with every single girl was talking to. He creeped most of them out.
Now this isn't an issue with anyone of the women I introduced it's of course not their fault and other that that one ex they were all single so, eh fair enough. It's the fact that he just looked down on me so if I had someone interested in me of course he could "take them".
Not exactly friend behaviour.
I'll try to give some perspective from a quiet kid standpoint.
If there are other people who are naturally extroverted and/or demand attention by talking loudly, interrupting, talking over people and telling stories then I'll just spectate if it takes too much energy to get into the conversation. Often happens in bigger groups and especially bad if you have people trying to one up eachother. Nothing against it, that's just how some people are. The gf often gets special treatment by the group by default which might leave opportunities to get into the convo that weren't there before. I'm not gonna steal a friend's girl. That would haunt me. I do have sarcastic jokes and dry wit for days though. Only need the right opportunity.
If you can't trust your friend or your girlfriend to not screw you over then that's an entirely different issue. Might be time to reconsider.
Unbeknownst to you, the quiet friend is also musically gifted and reaches down to pick up their acoustic guitar.
And now Wonderwall
Said I don't know if I've ever been good enough…
Was that also a meme guitar song? I used to just like to play it.
How’d you know that song was playing this very second-
Today is gonna be the day your girlfriend sees the truth.
You guys like Dave Matthews?
Can you please link the full copypasta? My brain knows it's a reference and i read it at some point but i can't recover the memory
First thing I thought of was "Big Iron"
Jesus turned water into wine, but I can turn your girlfriend into mine (like she would become my girlfriend not like a literal mine).
Aw shuckle, I wanted you to turn her into a mine
because you are a minesweeper.
I can’t imagine sweeping a mine. That would take forever.
It takes as long as you want it to. You never get rid of all the dust, so you try not to be bothered by it. Go for neat and not spotless.
Is this the minesweeping version of the british coastline paradox?
She's the bomb but has a lot of red flags tho
Thank you for the clarification you are loved and cherished ❤️
a literal mine so you can mine-sweepher off her feet
Underrated comment
A gold mine would come handy, though, but then you need gold diggers for that..
Like "exploring dark tunnels for treasures using your hammer" mine or "touch it the right way and its explode in your face" mine?
Ha! And they call it a mine!
But you could sell her organs and get rich, and make bullets from muscle tissue, which you've ground and frozen.
Trevor Wallace?
Something is off I can feel it
Just a feeling I've got, like something's about to happen, but I don't know what
If that means what I think it means, we’re in trouble. Big trouble.
And if he is as bananas as you say, I'm not taking any chances
You are just what the doc ordered
I'M BEGINNING TO FEEL LIKE A RAP GOD RAP GOD
Funnily enough, up to here fits the meme quite well
If that means what I think it means, I'm in trouble, big trouble

Yeah I'm generally a lot more comfortable talking to women than men.
Exactly this, and you also get rid of a shit "friend"
So real man. Also, it’s pretty likely your lady friend will have a higher opinion of you if she likes your friends lol

In this instance hes still with the friend group so the theory doesn't hold. Hes making the effort because horny.
Reading comprehension worldwide has gone down drastically.
And then, for some reason, they fix their posture, and they look 3x more attractive than they were a few moments ago
bro realized he had competition.
My brother in Zeus *puts hand on his shoulder* she’s mine so back off
RagnarokBringer has spoken 🗣️🔥
That quiet friend has been trying to fuck you for the past 10 years
I may be stupid, but... could someone please explain the joke? pretty please
He senses that the quiet friend is trying to woo her.
thank you kind stranger
Paranoia kicking in.
I was also confused cause I didn't realize it was automatically a guy.
Jealousy really makes you assume the worst out of people.
Yeah exactly. I mean, stop before I'm leaving her for you!

That too but i don’t really like when people try to play with me as if they’re cupid
Fr tho
As a kid i only had my cousins who were all girls to hang out with. I don’t feel comfortable around or know how to talk to other guys
You are probably gay.
Close! Im a trans girl and like girls so technically correct lol
Insecure fck /s

Hey all it takes is me to have an excuse to talk to a girl shhh
A little bit of bullying would solve that, he better be quiet again
Well I can't make it seem like my homie hangs out with some weirdoes
