Nah man it doesn't work like that with pickup. The idea is to make friends with everyone and then stand out as alpha male of the group.
In this case you would make friends with the other guy and then start talking to his chick friends. We're not in the pickup game to make enemies or be unkind to anyone.
That's the idea. There is no need to make enemies when picking up. Befriend all the guys in the group and then emerge as the leader - you are the alphamale, leader of men. Be cool with them. Not only is it social proof, but you never know who you will meet. I can say that I've befriended guys while in mixed sets and now I am decently good friends with them.

If a PUA is a dick to other guys (when the women aren't around), does that usually suggest he's most likely a womanizer and not sincere?
I would say that it suggests he has some insecurities so he feels the need to put others down so he is one up from them. As far as that showing he is a womanizer/not sincere, I'm not too sure because I haven't been in that situation nor do I know anyone like that... if I had to guess, a guy who is a dick to his bros won't have many people liking him, so he may not have a chance to be a womanizer. He would probably lack good people skills, which would only hurt his game.
