A duck duck goose girl (or guy)...is a person that has been benched by someone who is stringing multiple people along in a sexual or romantic way. Said "player" keeps his or her harem of simping partners on hold in a limbo of
breadcrumbing as "ducks", until ready to choose the next "goose". They
ramp up engaging behavior to manipulate said "goose" into chasing them, ideally for sex, but also for attention/ego. Then they put them back on hold as a "duck" once they get bored, and repeat the cycle all over again, choosing a different goose. These are avoidants who like to have a steady rotation of suitors in waiting, often longterm
FWBs, always thinking they might be chosen. In reality- these people are emotionally immature, unable to engage in real intimacy, and often have fragile egos that they prop up by manipulating partners. Often, these people will keep a secret harem of "ducks" on hold during relationships with a "goose", until they either break up with them, or
get broken up with. Regardless- their ducks will get breadcrumbed
on the sneak during entire relationships because they can't ever fully invest themselves
in commitment. They always have one foot out the door, and "ducks" are the back up options.
Example:
"I'm done being one of your
duck duck goose girl. You want me to be there for you to use only when it's convenient or comforting to you, but you don't wanna
reciprocate. You're busy getting your ego
stroked by girls who haven't caught on yet. Keep your lame ass limbo- those girls can have you. I'm taking back my self respect."
