You have a friend/family member that always seems to step in ****!?

I have a friend like that, everything always seems to work out for him...especially with women.

I mean, sometimes is very hard TO NOT get envious.

They say envy is the strongest when two people are very similiar (e.g. looks, intelligence, height) and one always seems to catch the break.

We are about the same height, same build, same intelligence, etc. He is facially better looking, but only slightly. If he is an 8, I am a 7.

He always seems to meet girls left and right, one after the other. He also always seems to be the one who does the dumping as well.

I would say he is NOT a Don Juan either, because he has on numerous occasions handed out his number or business card w/o getting the girls (an AFC move) and is usually drunk when he spits game to girls.

However, everything always seems to work out.

You bring up an interesting point...I think this is one of the reasons why one of my best buds and I are constantly at each others' throats. We're about the same height, build, and looks, and both like to party (drink/smoke/etc) but he's had the bad luck to get a DUI and a marijuana conviction, while I have gotten out of more **** scot-free than you would believe.

I would say your situation is that your buddy just puts himself out there more. Sounds like he is just an outgoing guy who wins some and loses some, but has enough attempts that the losses don't matter.

I'll try a fishing analogy here...who's gonna catch more fish, the guy who uses the most high-tech rod and reel and fancy lures or the guy with a stick of dynamite and a net?

Yeah, he does live in New York City and I live in the burbs with my parents.

However, it was like this before he moved to NYC.
