So do I have this clearly confused, your male partner who you have the hots for, ditched you for another man and used the excuse it was only about climbing. Clearly some mixed signals.
I suggest you post your problems on Homo Climbtastic and spare us your confusing sexual references. Disclaimer "Not that there is anything wrong with that"

I believe the initial post meant the following:
If you cancel climbing plans to instead climb with a better (more fun) partner,
it is equivalent to:
Cancelling a date, to go on a date with a hotter chick.
This is different from cancelling climbing plans to go on a date with a hot chick.

kinda reminds me of a....
Sailor Cat needs to bring a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage across the river.
The boat is tiny and can only carry one passenger at a time.
If he leaves the wolf and the goat alone together, the wolf will eat the goat.
If he leaves the goat and the cabbage alone together, the goat will eat the cabbage.
How can he bring all three safely across the river?

Can I tell a story.
Mid eighties, Anything goes cafe in Mammoth. Three friends of me, T.D, P.W. and the always funny N.B., are having late lunch after a climb. Two of 'em are yer local 5.9ish climbers, the third, TD is a young up-n-comer who floats 5.11. Over strolls J.B. (yeah, that JB), "hey TD", says JB,"you wanna go climbing with me tomorrow". TD replies, "thanks but I'm climbing with these guys". True. I thought it pertinent here.

Done deal. Sailor Cat is sooo outta here.

As was suspected given the confusing and obtuse posts. Have a good night and come back tomorrow to tell us what you really meant.

depends though bro, if you are really buddies with this guy then you must understand his relationship status. if does not get that chance much often then maybe it is acceptable to cancel your climbing date for that hot girl. i guess he felt that you would be able to understand him more cause you have probably been friends long enough.

The whole situation is ambiguous so the generic answer is this
Friends and partners have to have integrity with each other but also work to each other's highest (or juiciest) good.
So if somebody wants to bail but the other had changed plans for the affair, there needs to be an honest agreement and the bailing party needs to make up for it in spades, more than compensating for the bail-age
Go for win-win
Peace

Not sure if I understand the actual scenario, but I'll chime in anyway: sex trumps climbing. You can't take that personally.

Knowing that the OP is female actually makes it more understandable to me.

"my gender ain't relevant"
it's completely relevant...ONLY a man can have a "man crush"...so, if you're upset that some dude 'stood you up' because he got a chance to climb with a hot chick, then i'd say you need to reassess your feelings--that ain't no "man crush", dude
it's ok to be annoyed, but a real man understands two things about this scenario: 1) we'd do the same thing if given the chance--hot chicks come before guy friends and 2) because of #1, we are obligated to feel happy for our friend
that you felt the need to seek advice on an internet forum indicates some sexual confusion...not that there's anything wrong with that

I think that the OP should explain WTF he is talking about.
While spelling errors and poor grammar are to be expected on the taco his ill defined rantings make him sound like a lunatic.
Does he think that making up a phrase like "rock blocked" makes him sound cool?
If CMac wants to eliminate the unnecessary static here this guy seems a good candidate.
HEY SPEAK ENGLISH OR STFU

Some of us understand wtf he is talking about. Okay, it went past you, but that doesn't mean it's not worthy of being on the taco.
