I didn't really pick up on her drama until 6 months of developing a friendship. I remember going to a party with her to meet a guy she heard was really hot (he was a roommate of one of her friends). That wasn't the primary reason to go to the party but one of the reasons. Anyway, we met him at the same time, he started flirting with me and suddenly he wasn't so "hot" anymore.

I usually use the term frenemy to describe either a former friend turned enemy or when one person thinks you are friends and the other person sees you as enemy.

Friends or enemies should be a mutual feeling on both sides.

Yes, usually it is not something you pick up on right away with women. I think after a few weeks you will notice it more and more. LMAO @ the guy not being so hot anymore. This is typical and I have seen women act like this, there's way too much competition amongst women in groups anyhow. If you're not the type of woman that is interested in causing scenes like this, it's almost difficult to operate in a female circle. The bolded part is what I thought 'frenemy' was but I think it's all a lot of nonsense in a so called friendship. I can't be bothered with that type of stuff.

You stole my thunder.

I'll just say it's called V-blocking.

I have luckily found a circle of drama-free no-competition friends. I hear stories about other people's "friends" and I don't even know why those "friends" are still around.

Yup. Generally those known as true "homewreckers" can decide to get a friend's person of interest before anything develops. Whatever presents itself as a challenge I guess.

To me, competing is when you operate under rules of engagement that are fair. C-blocking is when someone cheats. Those are just my interpretations. And yes, both genders do it.

I actually can't think of a time where a girl c-blocked me. Fairly recently, I met up with a girl at a bar and a few of her friends. When it was time to leave, her friend said to her "you coming with us?", she said "No, I'll stay and hang out". Her friend patted me on the back, and the rest was history

However, my guy friends c-block like there is no tomorrow. Point being, this idea that there is one unattractive female friend who is constantly c-blocking is a huge myth. That stigma needs to be transferred to guys, where it happens far more often than it should.
