When one friend befriends another through your introduction, soon putting more effort into that person than you do, simultaneously making you seem less desirable and devaluing both your original friendships. This can happen consciously or unconsciously. Notably, one does not tend to ever make any new friends for themselves through the friend poacher.
I used to be close with Guy until I introduced him to Buddy, who started inviting him out all the time; I think Buddy is friend poaching, especially considering I've never met any good friends through him.

Bob: "Nicole, why do you hang out with Barb? I'm pretty sure that my antisocial cat has a better personality than her".
Nicole: "Good question! Barb is just my accessory friend. I only hang out with her because she makes me look good... kind of like these diamond earrings that I'm wearing.
