Seriously?

I don’t recognise this good-guy/bad-guy dynamic you’re talking about. Like, what age are these guy groups and girl groups? Who were they? Have you actually observed this, in your own life? Repeatedly? Are you sure?

If you approached relationships as an opportunity to share your heart and your life with a fellow human being, instead of an opportunity to finally get ahead of those bad guys from back in school, you maybe wouldn’t have this problem. Do you actually think a woman has better “quality” if she’s had no previous relationships? How? Why? How does that make her better?

You’re hitting the nail on the head though when you say this is ego and vanity. That’s all it is. So release the ego. Recognise how irrational and unreasonable your ideas really are. Stop trying to win a pissing contest with some other guy you’re probably not even in touch with anymore by having a “better” girlfriend than him.

Snap out of it, dude.
