What is everyone's take on guy friends who fall for revenge fucks from an ex that you've dumped.
I'm talking long term friends and long term girlfriends (3+ years)

I found most guys when push comes to shove are completely backstabbing scumbags.
Is it just the quality of losers I knew?

Bitterness knows no bounds.

Tough to say if it's "revenge", or if the guy was genuinely attracted to his Ex's friend and saw an opportunity. That said, there are plenty of fish in the sea, as they say, and to have sex with an Ex's friend is almost always designed to bring hurt upon that person in some way.

People who "revenge fuck" are very insecure people. They are scorned and do this to 'one-up' or 'best' their Ex, when the reality is it shows how infantile and self-absorbed the person is.

I'm not saying it is revenge on the part of the friends.
They are just desperate cads who will take any pussy they can get even if it's their own brother's ex.
Also probably an element that they are jealous that I always had better girls/career/cars/life.
So when they see a chance to one up it is almost automatic.

It is 1000% clear it is calculated revenge from the ex.
These are guys she wouldn't give the time of day to in ordinary circumstances.
It's in the past so I am over it, I will never talk to her again she is a malicious vindictive whore (no pun).

But the friends I wonder if I should even keep them around at all.
I've done it in the past, forgiven people for this shit, and years later it came back to bite me.
They will always do it again if the circumstance permit.

I'm sure plenty of guys have been in a situation like this
I wonder if it really is associating with low grade people or if this happens across the spectrum.

Spacejazz, I'm sorry to hear about your shitty ex and even shittier "friends".
A true friend would never even think to go anywhere near your ex girlfriend, not matter how much time has passed and no matter the circumstances. Even my friends, who aren't the most moral or ethical people in the world, would never do this to me or any other friends.

Also, I don't want to judge, but I'll just say this, none of my ex girlfriends would ever try to hurt me this way.

My advice(and take this just as constructive criticism): You should become a better judge of character. Surround yourself with a better quality of people and don't let yourself fall victim to this again.
