I don't think this "friend" is real at all. I don't think he even has friends at all now, having alienated what few people that will associate with him in real life.
Much like CWC, cRusty views every other male as competition in his quest for a perfect 10.
Not only can cRusty not relate with women, he doesn't even have good guy friends he can talk to.
No sarcasm here, but guys tend to act differently one-on-one with their best friends and drop their bravado. many if not most even evolve. If he had a decent guy friend and a fragment of introspection, he would be able to ask stuff like:
"Dude, your girlfriend is hot and really nice. How did you get with her?"
"Man, I can talk to girls, but I can't get a date. We'll talk back and forth for a bit, but whenever I suggest meeting up, they're always 'busy', 'sick' or 'have an emergency'. Am I coming on too thirsty, or doing something to creep them out? Here, have a look at the messages I sent her, you're good with this type of shit"
"So, I'm getting a lot of first dates, but when I try to take her out for a second, I always get the good old 'you're a nice guy, but...' and 'I'm just not feeling a connection' answers, if they don't just ghost me lol. Idk mang, is it them or is it me? What would you do?"
Theoretical buddy would also be able to tell him stuff like:
"Russ, my dude, remember: the biggest turn off is desperation. Girls can fucking smell thirst. Don't fall in love right away, you'll scare them off.
I read some article, idk where, but it said something like it tells them that you don't give a fuck about them as a person, and just want to get your dick wet somewhere, anywhere, and hey girl, you're here now and you'll do. Don't do that bro, you'll fuck it up fast if you do."
