Seems like I'm going to be the black sheep here.. I don't find it lame. Of course, it all depends on you, your personality, game, and the women's perception of you. I've had a few lady friends that used to hook me up with pvssy all the time. It was by no means quality (cute girls, just a little crazy), but still pvssy. I fvcked and became really good friends with a stripper who knew a lot of slvtty friends. I would invite her everywhere with me as social proof and told her to bring her friends and she would always deliver. In return I would invite my coolest friends. We all had a mutual understanding that we're going to have fun, not get too serious, and no one would get hurt. It worked, for awhile.
Sometimes ex-gfs can be useful for hooking you up with new tail as well. I know this goes against mostly everyone's ideology, but as long as you keep your emotions in check, it's possible to break up and still be friends. This advice is more or less for kids in high school, who are generally forced to see their ex's face everyday anyway. This would sometimes work for me.
Also, if your best buddy is dating a chick and you are constantly the third wheel all the time, you damn well better ask your buddy's chick for a blind date. You're doing EVERYONE a favor.
I think if you already have a reputation as a player, then asking seems anything but a big deal. But if you haven't developed your game, and people still wonder if you're a virgin or not.. then completely ignore everything I've just stated.
