It has nothing to do with viewing the girl as 'finders keeper' or as a possession. It has to do with respecting your friends emotionally. If a friend of mine is clearly interested in a girl, to the extent that he's been out with her a couple of times and has invited her over to party, I'm not moving in on his girl. Period. The friendship needs to be respected. I just wouldn't do that to a buddy of mine, and I wouldn't expect one of my friends to do it to me. I've been in situations where a friend of mine and I liked the same girl before. In those situations, if one of us started getting signs from her, or moved first, then that guy got the opportunity to play out the situation. In this case, it seems like old Jimmy here made the first move, and while in the process of exploring that situation, his friend moved up an snarfed his girl...during a party. To me, that's pretty damn low. At the very least I'd expect him to ask me how things were going with her, at a point after the party was over, because he was getting some vibe from her and wanted to know if I was serious about the situation. Finding out this way is, in my opinion, extremely disrespectful of the friendship. If the guy isn't my friend, then he has no obligations to me, and I respect the situation - and as you pointed out jinn, I'm thankful that he saved everywhere a bunch of horseshit in trying to figure things out. But if he's my friend, then there's just certain things you don't do. This is just one of those things. You have to be able to trust your friends, and this type of things doesn't lend itself well to being able to trust.
