As a spokesman for guys everywhere, I'm going to try and outline the guy code for when it is ok to date/screw a buddy's ex-girlfriend. Men are complicated beings. We have a vast set of laws to help us deal with the complexities of everyday life. So, I'll do my best to explain the general guy stance on what's ok and what isn't in regards to your buddy's ex.
1. He dumps her, she's fair game. Plain and simple. He's done with her, and he let it be known in no uncertain terms. He does not like her anymore, and she is therefore open to be approached and dated.
2. She dumps him. This is a bit more complicated. In general, you need to wait at least two weeks before you seek clearance with your buddy on if it's ok to date her. You will know by his reaction to the dumping if two weeks has been enough time, but that is the minimum. If he doesn't give you his clearance, you still need to seek it before pursuing anything with his ex until the six month mark, at which point she becomes fair game again. Caveat: If they were together for more than a year, clearance will always be necessary. That shit can leave lasting emotional scars and such. Guys are very emotional beings!
3. What if there is no relationship, they've just gone on a few dates? That depends. Are they still talking? If so, he has dibs until he stops actively pursuing her. You shall not AMOG your friend in the pursuit of ass. Let him run his game, and if they don't hit it off, then you can try. Once they are not talking anymore, she becomes fair game.
4. Finally, the most complicated one. What if your buddy and a girl are currently dating, but she wants to jump your bones. You may think this is cut and dry, but it really isn't. I dare you to find one guy who would turn down sex thrown at them. If they say they would, they're lying! We can't run fast enough to outrun pussy chasing us. Sorry to be blunt, but that's the way of the world. Girls get offered sex every single day...but not guys. When we get offered easy sex, its like "damn, this must be my lucky day!" So, what do you do when confronted with this situation. Well, start by assessing the friendship. How would he react? I mean, he'll be pissed off, sure. But, will he eventually get over it, or would it end the friendship? Do you care? I mean, its her choice, you aren't coercing her into fucking you. Bros before hoes usually applies, but sometimes there are extenuating circumstances. Does he treat her like shit, and therefore doesn't deserve her? Is she super hot and you wouldn't mind jeopardizing a friendship over it? This is the most complicated of all guy laws. As I said, we are very complex beings. However, a caveat: Ring = always off limits. I'm sorry, don't go there.
So, there it is, short, sweet, to the point...man law on your buddy's ex. Hope it was enlightening! Or at least entertaining!
