Buddies

Met two guys the other evening. No big surprise there. But it got me reflecting on relationships. Haven't we all come across it? Two people...one is dominant, taking all the attention, and the other one letting him (in this case a him...could easily be the other way around).

One is grabbing hold of the situation, the attention, and is funnily enough also getting the girls. The other one is laughing to everything what his buddy says. He's a hanger-on. He's happy to live in the shadow of somebody else.

Another observation, it's usually No 2 who is long-term. But who wants a "loser" :)? Not me I'm afraid. And in this particular case I didn't go for No 1 either. So who's the loser?
