Smack your bf upside the head and tell him "No, it's asshole talk".

Second.

If one of my BF's friends ever did this, there'd be some hell to pay. Although, I think in my case, my BF would be the one smacking his buddy upside the head...he doesn't take crap from anybody, and I'm pretty sure he wouldn't let his friends make me cry. Of course, all I need to do is point at someone bothering me and he takes care of the problem...(only had to do that once, and that was before we were dating *giggle* that's a story!)

*ahem*
It sounds like his friend is very jealous. If it were me, it would make me very uncomfortable if the BF didn't do anything about it...talking about bringing drunk sluts on a camping trip where you won't be around is very shitty. Trying to convince the guy that he would be better off single, in front of you, is ridiculously shitty.

I hope things get better. But I am very happy that you and your BF are happy. And that even if he doesn't smack his friend around (as I think he should!) at least he doesn't listen to him!

Gah. Guys like that "friend" irritate me.

Blas, first, as a slight off topic, you and your BF are an adorable couple, you two do look genuinely happy together, don't let bullshit like this crap from his friends ruin it.
Second, back on topic, I'm agreeing that it's most likely jealousy. I admit, I find myself jealous of my friends in stable committed relationships. I think it sucks waking up every day being alone. Not to get on a soapbox, but this is the state where I've so far landed one date with someone... and it turned out he was addicted to twitter and wouldn't shut up about his updates from Perez and Ashton the whole time, which really turned me off on the dating scene here.
Despite that though, the jealousy and the slight bitterness that, through some fault of my own I'll admit, I can't find anything like what my friends have, I would never even consider harrassing one of my friends about it (granted, I've joked that they should have an affair with me but both of us knew it was in jest)

[blas87]

I've had girlfriends who have absolutely hated some of my bfs for how they treated me or how my bfs treated them....but I've never had a girlfriend be jealous of a bf or dislike them for no good reason and to try to stir the pot by saying stupid things without thinking.

It's not like I take up all of his free time. For Pete's Sake, I work full time and I only get to see him 2 days a week, 3 if I'm lucky. He isn't "stuck" with me.

I had an ex whose friends were like that when we were together. They just hated that him spending time with me cut down on the time they had to hang out with him. When none of his friends liked me, I suppose that should have been a red flag right there. But I was in love and didn't care at the time.

Looking back though, I'm not at all surprised that relationship ended.

[blas87]

I would hope that that's not the truth. If so, they picked the wrong girl to screw with.

I never gave them a reason to hate me, but I'm sure they'd do it to anyone he dated because they are single and he isn't.

blas - I think you bf's "friends" just want to make fun of him or try to break you guys up. You might have to be the one to stand up to these "friends".

I also have to agree with Rapscallion. I see the relationships of others as romantic comedies. I agree that relationships can be good and if both people are happy then who am I to complain.

[Nyoibo]

But of course, he just nodded and smiled and later said to me "That's guy talk. He doesn't really mean it."

Smack your bf upside the head and tell him "No, it's asshole talk".

[Rapscallion]

I'm single. Always have been. Not in any danger of not being (that I know of). I tend to the view that romance is a great spectator sport. When someone says there's a romantic comedy on, I tend to think they're talking about life.

Would I say that all relationships are bad? Certainly not. Have I seen poisonous relationships? Yes. I tend to the view that it's not for me and should be left to the people who know what they're doing. I've yet to meet either of them.

Instead of telling his friend "No, I'm not going to stare at those nasty drunk sluts, I have a hot girlfriend that I'm very happy with. Why don't YOU go over there and try your luck, since you really won't know unless you try?"

Riiiight, as if this "friend" picks up a bunch of chicks every night just because he doesn't have a girlfriend. He's just jealous of your bf because he doesn't know how to approach one. If he has so much of that single-guy swagger then it shouldn't be a problem getting one of those lovely ladies in his clutches.

And it's not like your bf can't check girls out just because he's attached. I read a blog that said "it's ok to window-shop as long as you don't leave fingerprints on the glass." Heck, I do it too! It's all in fun.

[blas87]

Oh trust me, if I could have, I would have slapped the bastard.

But my boyfriend just can't seem to stand up to his friends, or will only do it in what seems to be the most inappropriate times.

Instead of telling his friend "No, I'm not going to stare at those nasty drunk sluts, I have a hot girlfriend that I'm very happy with. Why don't YOU go over there and try your luck, since you really won't know unless you try?"

But of course, he just nodded and smiled and later said to me "That's guy talk. He doesn't really mean it."

Even with his other friend currently threatening me with how many girls there will be at this weekend's drunk camping excursion that I don't want a part of, all these girls that are going to be all over my boyfriend because I'm not there, my boyfriend just says "Just drop it. He wants you to come, and he's going to say whatever he can to upset you enough to get you to go."

I prefer the kick all your asses type.

Until your first argument... I kid, I kid.
Seriously, I would never date a woman that won't stand up to me when I am or at least they think I'm being a dumbass. Who wants a robot with boobs? Oh wait, I was 12 once.

Main topic: Yeah the 'friend' sounds more like a 'leech' more recently referred to as 'mooch' or 'jealous, hateful, cowardly jackass"

Side topic:
I dunno, I think I *may* have a chance with the ladies. After all, I spend most of my time talking about shooting things, not blowing them up... like THIS!



Eat BBs you dirty blue team maggots!

That said, I actually have encountered female airsofters of both the ditsy out-of-place variety and the kicks all your asses variety.
