One of my best friends lets call him Jeremy recently became single. While I thought this was going to be awesome opportunity to have a great wing, Jeremy is a natural at meeting and interacting with people, I'm really starting to get irritated winging with him. Jeremy is taller than me, better looking, fluent in game theory, more emotionally aware, probably on par for intellectual deepness, and just from our projection we will attract similar types of girls. Not to sound beta but I just can't compete with Jeremy. I have other friends that are wings who may be better looking but who I can out game or beat out because they simply have AA to even approach a girl or when they do just come across as superficial/shallow/simple. Friends who know "pick-up material" but I can beat because I'm emotionally aware to connect with a target. Or simply friends with whom are not attracted to the same type of girls like my friend chris (good looking, confident, avg game) who likes the sorority-type (granted they've graduated now) that I'm just not interested in.

I feel like it is starting to cause friction in our friendship. Most recently last Wed we were done working out at a road biking club and I opened a set containing a girl that I had previously met (engaged though) and a new friend let's call her Laura that I thought was cute. After engaging, I hooked the set and we talked for awhile with my friend Jeremy eventually coming over to introduce himself. Jeremy and I than break off grab beers. At some point Jeremy goes off to talk to another girl. Laura then comes over to me saying her friend left blah blah, we talk for awhile and before I have a chance to ask for her number she asks for mine (2nd IOI). Shortly after I had to head out b.c I was grilling dinner for Jeremy, another friend, and myself. I was surprised later to find Laura coming over with Jeremy for dinner. Apparently Jeremy ran into Laura on the way back to his car and asked for her number. The next day Jeremy asked if Cindy (the engaged friend) was the one I was after, then apologized when I told him that she was engaged and I was going after Laura (legitimately didn't think he knew as he was in-depth with the other girl when we were 1 on 1 with Laura) but at the grill out I could tell Laura was definitely hooked into Jeremy so I just told him it is whatever.

This seems to be turning into a trend though. It seems like lately a lot of the sets I (when Jeremy's around) or we open (don't count ones he opens thus earns), there seems to be just one receptive girl (the rest being unattractive, taken, whatev), and the target always gravitates towards him. I know some are going to respond that I'm not building attraction enough, or getting the hook before my Jeremy comes over, blah blah blah.

How do you guys deal with friends like this? I don't want a girl at some point to become in between our friendship and from a wing perspective I find him a good influence as far as increasing volume of sets opened, and boosting my inner game. So I'd hate taking my female friends advice to simply stop gaming with him.
