@Vermillion-Rx Gosh a lot of men are going to be celibate if that advice catches on.

@Kloi my post had more to do with compromise on values and making peace

Often times one party wants to meet in the middle and that middle is beneath you

Avoid people who lack humility/victim complex

@woodsmoke

Can you link them to me? I don't know what you are talking about

God damn it, @Vermillion-Rx! This is all your fault.

@Vermillion-Rx

I realized years ago, more often then not, if I'm inviting someone to partake in one of my passions, I'm usually sacrificing my enjoyment for company because most people don't want to go at it, with the same level of intensity I possess.

Meeting people in the middle is oftentimes meeting someone halfway beneath you.

When you find that to be the case don't bother.

@Vermillion-Rx it already looks pretty blurry to me

I doubt anyone who knows her IRL will be able to recognize her, and that's the standard

@Vermillion-Rx @First-light asked me to post some of the crazy exchanges I have on X with women who are accustomed to being pandered to in college and on dates and when men on X don't toe the line. They usually respond-and-block or "yell and run away" at some point which this one did. I had said all I needed to say so no skin off my nose. I never have seen them just block WITHOUT responding first.

I have edited out her handle to avoid charges of brigading against this forum. It's wonderful how fragile their egos are when just a little bit of pushback is given.

Avoid people who don't want to hear the truth

They will always only ever surround themselves with enablers and people willing to lie to them, or worse, other people who don't even know they are just as wrong feeding off of each other indefinitely

They will come to you and when you tell them the truth they will hate you.

You will be in a constant catch 22 with these people because they will resent the truth if you give it and think you don't care about them if you learn to withhold your opinion and decline to help them

Their revulsion at the truth will keep them in the depths of inauthenticity and they will drag you into their wrath and delusions for bursting any pillars of their fantasies

Unfortunately you just have to let them do what they're gonna do. You can't save them all

Everyone has heard of Captain save a hoe but honestly there are way too many captain save a bro situations that you shouldn't be getting yourself into

I would hate to see a friend off himself over a bitch but they will hate you for trying to save them.

I'm about close to losing this friend trying to help him. He asked me to keep certain women his ex was jealous of away from him and everything

Just to be mad at me for telling him the truth. In general avoid your compromised down bad friends. They will eventually disappoint you
