Man, I can think of a lot of things better than watching my friend hook up with something I used to love. This is obviously a very, very personal situation, but if a friend or family member decided to date somebody I used to actually care for - not talking just had sex with or 'saw for a bit' - but an actual ex-girlfriend of mine... there'd be weirdness. No matter how happy they are or how fucking fuzzy it makes you feel inside, your intimate knowledge of that other person is going to fucking haunt you every time you see them together. And to top it all off, no matter how you feel about it, you are going to have to support them and pretend to be happy for them, if but merely for ther fact that one of them is obviously still close to you. That fucking sucks.
Respect for the sexual heirarchy is maybe one of the foremost things we seek in friends. No guy is comfy keeping a friend around who is trying to constantly get his girlfriend in the sack - why is that? Yes, it's a huge insecurity, but humans were simply made to fight one another over mates. Kind of how it is being locked into a consume-death cycle.
//Objectification of the opposite sex probably has almost everything to do with it. To the members of whatever team you play for, the object sex is a product to be bought, sold, flaunted, what have you. Indeed, this is probably one of the best things our species has going for it.
