Girls, do you follow the 'Rules'

Here I am 28 in a couple days and talking about Real World, yes. Anyways, so i was watching Real World Cancun and there is this one guy who hooked up with a girl in the house, she drove him away, he caught his eye on another girl in the house and they hooked up.
I admire that about guys, that they can try a girl and if it doesn't work move on to the next one. But then there's all these rules girls have, someone made them up dont ask me, but if a girl were to do that Im thinking she would get some criticism from her friends or someone, no? Have you found yourself in a situation like this?
Now I know its a reality show, their in CANCUN so that plays into a lot of it. But what if you were with this guy, not feeling him, and somehow you ended meeting another guy and you two just clicked--could you just move on (respectfully) from the guy your already with for another?
Me, I'm selfish and yes, I'd have to say I would. I'm very liberal when it comes to the 'rules' and this has been a issue with me and girlfriends--my not abiding by them, but that can get too constraining for me, its suffocating trying to please your friends (say, maybe they decided they just do not like your new guy) all the time to say the least. One of my most satisfying relationships (aside from my children's father) has been a guy I met through another guy. I hooked up with this one guy we hung out for a couple weeks, it didn't work out a week later I get a call from his friend!! I took the invitation and met a guy I connected very deeply with, unfortunately, because I have 2 kids it didn't work out totally how I wanted but he's a great friend with benefits (both physically and emotionally).

Hmm.. I don't know what type of rule you're talking about but, I don't see anything wrong with hanging out with someone else if you don't like the other one or if you didn't accept his advances.
The only rule I could remember is to not hook up with another guy if you're with someone. That's the only rule I follow. Otherwise, it's okay.
I don't even find it weird if a guy pursues a friend of mine then if she doesn't accept him and he decides to pursue me, that's okay. But still, deep down inside, I'd feel I was the second-choice, so though I would accept his advances, I would let him have a piece of my mind before I do accept a relationship with him.

that's funny, because me I would move on from a guy I'm with to pursue another man but when it comes to dating men who have been with friends or pursued my friends I am very strict (for myself, Im saying) about. I remember when i was younger and me and my sister were close and some of her friends would make advances at me but my sister is very emotional types (she wouldn't show it to her friends though) and I just knew not to go there and I didn't want to do anything that would upset her, I'm like overprotective big sister.
