I've noticed that when watching an anime that has a harem sitting a lot people usually end up favoring the second or even the third girl instead of the first(main) girl that’s introduced .Personally I don’t watch a show just to see who’s going to end up with whom. I just enjoy the anime ending as it is, but that doesn't mean that I always like the girl that the MC chooses at the end .

I've also noticed that I always end up liking the characters who are so distant or have absolutely no chance with the MC. Although many people would say that these characters are useless to the plot and they serve nothing by being there. This role is overused and in the majority of animes usually have one or two girl who fall into this type of role.

I’m talking about the 3rd girls(third or fourth wheels if you want to call them)

Are third girls really useless to the plot ? Are they just there to create more drama and serve as foils and Characters developers for the main characters ?
