Any tips on coping with the "green eye"?

[Tock389]

One of my flatmates is very good looking. He has a French girlfriend, whom he is going to live with in a few weeks, in France. The thing is, he is constantly meeting other women for one-night stands, and telling me all about it. I'm single at the moment, and although I can talk to women and don't have problems with it, I can't match his..animal magnetism. I don't begrudge anyone who has more than I do, but I can't keep feeling a bit jealous that I don't have the same attraction. He is also a former model, and I'm not! I'm also not into treating women like he does. Does anyone have any tips on keeping positive about all this?

Why would you wish to be like this shallow moron who obviously doesn't have the capacity to have any deep and valuable relationships?   The grass may look greener on the other side but it rarely is.  Just have the courage to be yourself and maintain  your own standards. Sooner or later he'sll probably come a cropper despite his good looks and his apparently facility for easy pulling.   One day somebody will come along who shares your values and your feelings about genuine relationships and believe me, you will end up having a much happier life than him.

when he is old, he won't have his looks anymore, but he will still have his heart (or lack thereof!).  Don't be jealous of him, you should feel sorry for him that he appears so ridiculously stupid.  He will end up friendless and lonely.

You, however, will not.

I agree with the other answers.  He sounds like a really horrible person.  I bet his girlfriend in France would run a mile if she knew what he was up to, and his other bits on the sides too probably would think twice about spending the night with him if they knew he was already in a relationship and about to move in with her.   It might seem like animal magnetism to you, but he is basically a sleaze.  Someone lovely will come along for you when the time is right, until then you should be glad that you are not him.  Plus, he is probably riddled with STDs.
