Totally agree here. You can tell the guys who haven’t experienced that “life or death” best friend test because they claim they have like 20 real friends.
There are friends…and there are associates. Most of the people you ever hang with will be the latter.[/quote]
This is why the question of whether or not a straight guy can have platonic female friends always gets answered incorrectly. People use the word “friend” way too liberally. I blame facebook.[/quote]
Since it bothers you…why not call them allies?
It shouldnt matter what you call them. Dont you know the depth of your relationship without needing a label?[/quote]
Actually no, you dont, unless they stood by you when shit got real.
You count your friends when you lie in the mud. [/quote]
Can your partner be that “friend” that is there when you lie in the mud?[/quote]
Lie there long enough and it is unlikely that she will still be there.
Much the same way she would repair a wahing machine if it could be done with a reasonable effort and get a new one if that is not possible. [/quote]
Please elaborate.[/quote]
Did I not post this?
I started out as both a sexual and social human being. In fact, I started out as a golden child, highly intelligent, attractive, athletic and ambitious as a career politician at the tender age of 18.
Then I got sick, or rather was all along and gained massive amounts of weight, was depressed and whatnot.
Misteriously all women in my life disappeared.
Then I worked like a mule, with some success, without indentifying the underlying reasons, and I was a social and sexual being again.
Since you cannot keep that up indefinitely, I slipped down the slope again, all women dissapeared again.
That happened a third time, but this time I no longer trusted in any doctors (socialized medicine, yeah baby) but sat down with an almanach worth of test results and developed my own theories.
Then I ordered some tests which I paid for myself (socialized medicine, yeah baby) and then I had it, it being a case of sleep apnoea so severe that I should have been dead and I would have been had I not had the constitution of a mule.
Plus, gluten is not my friend and actually caused this by swelling my nose shut, thereby forcing me to breathe through my mouth, thereby changing my airways permanently which makes me the sleep apnoea king of middle Europe.
Having learned this I was able to deal with this and now I am a social and sexual being again, yay.
At least for women because I have largely the same male friends I had at the age of 20.
So, this did not happen to me once, but over and over again, as long as you are “winning” you have more than enough women in your life and if you hit the ground hard enough so that you do not get up that easily they are gone.
Women, are spoils of war.
Plus, and this is somewhat unrelated, not only was I suddenly a sexual being again, oh no, this is when I had learned at least rudimentary “game” and suddenly I was the man with the golden cock.
So, I did not learn theoretically how conditional womens feelings are, I first experienced it and then I found out why.
Then I applied this knowledge in practice and… magic.
This whole “game does not work”, “women are not like that”, “not ALL women are like that”, “you are gay”, “you only date idiots” is such a waste of my time because no man who has consciously experienced the difference will ever plug back into the matrix again.

That’s a crazy story man! What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger? right?
I agree there are a lot of money grubbing vapid women out there. However, I wouldn’t classify them all that way. Quality women are hard to find. Quantity is easy as long as you’re winning.
I think most of the hate you receive is from probably people who are largely clueless about game and women.
[/quote]
Or actual grown up men who do not need game and have found quality women. [/quote]
I didn’t read that whole game with women thread. So I’m unsure the context of your response.
However, I recall a few of your past statements are spot on when it comes to women and finding good ones. Relationships take work.
