Two rage comics that capture well the true human tragedy that is FRIENDZONING, both of which I found in the awesome Blue Pill subreddit. The one above is by dont_buy_me_gold; the one below by SaltyChristian (who is, incidentally, a CERTIFIED ALPHA).
I have heard rumors that the entire Blue Pill subreddit is not actually a hangout for super alpha dudes but rather a parody of the Red Pill subreddit but I choose not to believe them, much in the same way I choose not to believe in the supposed “law” of gravity. It’s A THEORY, people!
(Note: These are both parodies, by the way, in case there is any confusion.)
You have fuckall for nuance, unless by that you mean “mild gaslighting.”
Go. Be happy. Far away from here.
So exercise some self control and stay away. Self-control isn’t something that can be outsourced by annoying people until they control your behavior for you.
Eurosabra, and yet, as Cassandra says, every thread ends up with you talking about yourself.
I’m going to do what I’ve done in the past a few times and put you on moderation, and only let through those comments that aren’t about you. General talk about PUA, ok, but you’ve exceeded your “you” quota.
And no more on anything in this particular thread.
The rest of you, could you also cooperate and not talk about him either in this thread?
I’m curious, though, Euro. Do you ever throw down with posters on those MRA threads you don’t essentially like?
David: talk about who?
So how was everyone’s weekend? I think I have recovered from Vegas.
Did you have any good foodie adventures in Vegas that you’d like to share, hellkell?
Other stuff! Um, I just bought some lingerie? Though I guess we save those conversations for when we need to bore trolls away.
Unfortunately, no. We were too damn tired to check out the Bacchanal buffet, which is supposed to be incredible.
The first night we were at Battista’s Hole in the Wall, and what they tried to pass off as cappuchino would make the baby Jesus cry.
But! I found a perfume I can only find online at Barney’s, which there are none of in ATX.
I did manage to fall asleep at the Cirque de Soleil Beatles Love thing. That was soooooooo not my thing.
Oh, and it was made very clear to me that I am NOT a gambler at the craps table. Next time I will just go the direct route and set fire to 40 bucks.
I spent my weekend writing a boring article, and now I’m proofreading it which is even more boring. I should probably give it my undivided attention, but NO NO YOU CAN’T MAKE ME YOU CAN’T.
Craps is hard. I can usually make $40 last at least a few hours at the blackjack tables. I always end up losing in the end, but I figure the $40 for a few hours of entertainment and cheap drinks kind of works out.
So what did you do in Vegas apart from the work, hellkell? Did you have a good time?
Funny thing was, last week an antique jeweller’s I pass every morning had a sign up saying they were going to a conference in Vegas, and I thought 1) is the timing right? and 2) if I knew whether hellkell liked antique jewellery or not I’d like to have told her.
Clothing info? I finally got a cable beret, as in BERET not head-hugging cap, done. And boy did it take a lot of mucking about and knitting inserts and re-knitting brims!
beret front
beret side
beret back, with tassel!
I did a lot better on the slot machines.
Kitteh’s: it was a good time. I got to hang with people from the other offices I haven’t seen in forever, and some I’d never met before. We did a lot of walking and people watching. The takeaway from that was LEGGINGS ARE NOT PANTS, PEOPLE.
We didn’t have a lot of free time, but we did squeeze some shopping in and saw that Cirque thing bored me silly. Mostly it was just hanging out in the casino.
I got a job as a web developer last week. And so my dad told me to read an 800+ page book on Ruby on Rails (of all things) over the weekend. But I didn’t because 1) I have many other good sources for learning Rails and 2) holy fuck how can he expect me to read a massive book on an advanced web development framework in just two days? Sheesh.
@Kitteh
I love that beret! ^_^ If the weather here weren’t so damn hot these days, I’d totally wear more things on my head.
Aaliyah, I’m so glad you got a job 🙂
Thanks, Aaliyah!
What about summer hats for you? They’re a good idea anyway, sunburn-wise.
hellkell – ah yes, leggings! Comfortable but they don’t do the butt any favours, even when it’s a very shapely butt. My impression, anyway.
I watched Cirque du Soleil once on telly and yeah, bores me witless too. I also dislike their makeup and costumes. They seem really ugly to me for some reason.
Congrats, Aaliyah!
Well, there’s a lot of possible eye-rolling from your partner’s entourage and lectures to him/her/hir about the possibility of doing better,
Which has fuck-all to do with whether or not the couple find each other attractive. Goalpost moving.
No, I have decided that the partner is not attractive to me. I conclude that the other person evaluating that partner has criteria unknowable to me, and I consider their taste for *physical* form different from mine.
Bullshit.
Here, let me remind you of what you actually said:
So I can’t know if they are really attracted, but the example of the bride who dodged the groom’s kiss at her own wedding raises doubts.
You can’t know if they are really attracted, and this story means there are doubts.
This is what you call, “observable”.
And now you are changing the story.
David keeps writing about PUA, I keep replying.
Which is why you chose to reply to comments in a post on friendzoning.
Euroslime’s been put on moderation, Pecunium, and David asked us not to talk about him.
@Katz
I’m glad I got the job, too, even though it’s a part-time minimum-wage summer position that’ll last for only a month or so (maybe longer, but that’s only if I perform exceptionally well). On the flip-side, I really wish I could spend the summer with less stress so that I could have more time to focus on dealing with my mental problems. My father basically pushed me to accept the job (he made a deal with a friend he knows and that’s how he got the position for me).
But I suppose there are ways around that: my older sister suggested that I use my money to help pay for therapy sessions, which I think is a great idea. I just hope that I can find the time for appointments…
@Kitteh
Summer hats? I think they look nice on other people in that they make people look happier for some reason, but I don’t feel comfortable wearing such a hat when I have extremely short hair (once again I was made to get a haircut).
I’ll add that, even though the job is only going to last for a little while, I do appreciate the fact that it’ll look good on my resume when I try looking for other jobs. Because the project I’m working on is pretty big.
