Depends on if this is a "friend" or a friend.

You know what I mean, OP.

I wouldn't do it. friends are more important than any girl.

It's fine if there aren't 80 million hot women in the world.

Wait, there are.

I've done this before on several occasions, and it definitely depends on the circumstances. If you're not good friends with the guy, then do whatever you want. If you are good friends, then talk to him first. Just say "this is what I want, but I'll totally respect your decision if you want to veto it because our friendship is more important".

I'd have no problem if any of my buddies wanted to hook up w/ an ex of mine (hell, I'd give them pointers on what the chick likes) but I recognize that people can feel differently about it. Just don't assume it'll be fine and do it anyway, because that'll backfire.

Do you value the friendship ? If so then probably not a good idea, but it's pretty clear you don't or this thought wouldn't have even came into question in the first place. Tons of pussy out there bro, why go for the one your friend fucked.

TRP doesn't concern itself with morality. It is amoral strategy. It will not answer your 'should I...' question with normative values. It will only look at it from a positive, results-based approach.

Morally, you need to decide for yourself what you will and will not do.

Consequence-wise? You know your friend and the social circle better than us. Will he blow his lid? Can she keep it under wraps? Will your social circle judge you? Will he be all good with it?

I've done it in the past, but never with an ex that was a serious LTR. Every time I've done it was a short term plate situation long after the relationship was over. These were 1-2 month "relationships" that weren't really going anywhere, and I got approval for most of them. Anything more serious and I won't entertain the idea. Which is unfortunate, because my social circle has a few exes that I wouldn't mind messing around with.

No.
Abundance mentality.
