It's not a "macho" thing for me... it's more about valuing your friendships with the ones who truly deserve it and walking away from the temptations of some random girl who likely won't be around sooner than you might want to believe at the moment.

That's the thing. There is no point servicing friendships that can't take a hit like this. The context here is that the friend ditched the girl. He holds no right of first refusal over her anymore. The OP and the girl are both individuals who can do what they want. If this damages the friendship, it's on the friends own head for being a dork.
I don't keep dorks as friends. Works well for me.
The quip about machismo is that any sense of "bro's before ho's" or other glib sayings are essentially pointless extensions of immaturity. I cringe any time I hear frat boy bullcrap. These things are usually said by guys who also think their girls are there to "service" them in life, without causing any problems.
