If someone is a good friend to you be immediately suspicious because your entire assessment of the human race was defined by the twist ending in Tokyo Babylon

I dunno some of my best friends are girls. When I'm single they direct other single girls to me it's pretty great. In fact there's your 'lifehack' nerds. No need to start talking to total strangers (which def can be hard) or worry that you're not having much luck, just have your girl friends help you out.

Yeah but people's thresholds for this are so low now. Like if a guy gives another guy a nice clipboard suddenly he's Mr Homo Clipboard who wants gay times from the recipient. Just nuts.

I think most of these guys aren't actually in a position where friendship with a woman is a real option, rather the woman says "let's just be friends" or drops the word friend repeatedly in the hopes of the guy taking the hint and leaving her alone without needing a more severe rejection. But the popularity of depictions of unrequited love in media and especially music suggests that the experience of being romantically attracted to someone who only sees you as a friend is relatable to a significant amount of people of both genders. Using the term friendzone to refer to this is heavily stigmatised for the sa reading demographic of nerds who are hyperaware of the habits of even worse nerds, but it is fairly popular slang amongst teenagers, to the point of being used unironically in multiple charting rap songs. But somehow even 'notice me sempai' has gained mainstream footing, so memes might be loving with the youth of today in a way that somehow allows the slang of older basement dwellers to gain traction amongst normal teenagers.

So these dudes who believe in ladder theory must necessarily want to gently caress every single one of their female acquaintances? Like there isn't a single woman they know that they wouldn't bang? Sounds like low standards to me.

I don't understand what the woman's friends ladder is depicting. In any case, I do not care for this theory of ladder fuckability. I would not gently caress a ladder. When I was a teenager a ladder I was climbing collapsed on me and trapped my hand in the hinge, removing my nail and almost my finger. I do not like to imagine what would have happened if I was a more adventurous man, as willing to experiment with ladder-based sexuality as these men appear to be.

Finally reached the end of this ridiculous trainwreck thread. Some of the posters in here are as bad as the dipshits in the stories that are getting posted. So I have this friend who's a Reddit addict and has some major problems with both women and alcohol. These problems tend to feed off each other and since he's been single for about 90% of the time I've known him the simmering cauldron of rage he has toward women tends to boil over after about 4 beers. When my friend was in one of his non-single phases I invited him and the girl he was seeing to stay at a mountain house owned by some family members as part of a group of about a dozen people that would be hiking and drinking and generally having a good time. The girl broke it off two days before the trip and even though I was a bit worried they both assured me it was totally amicable and everything would be fine. Nothing was fine. As soon as he showed up he started texting her every five minutes asking when she'd be there. When she showed up about an hour later and he found out that she had given another (male) friend a ride he turned five shades of purple and went for a walk in the woods. Me and a couple other people gave him a pep talk when he got back and he managed to keep things together pretty well the first night. On day two everyone who wasn't hung over went out hiking. Lady-ex's car with her and the guy she gave a ride to the day before got separated on the way up to the trailhead and there wasn't any cell coverage on that part of the mountain. The main group which included slowly-going-crazy friend waited for a while and decided to go up without them. All the time the subject of the story was unraveling more and more. He insisted we look for them at another lot and that we drive back to a coverage zone to see if she had texted. We blew him off and started the hike. He took up the rear, stopping and looking behind every 30 seconds or so and running to catch up. At one point when I was close I could hear him muttering about how they were probably loving somewhere. We had a fun hike despite him. When we got back to the house the missing two were there. They had parked at a different lot and had taken another route up. We had probably only missed them by 10 minutes. Friend-o was still convinced that the two of them had just gone off and hosed in the woods or something and after a silent dinner sat in a dark corner of the house sipping booze and staring at her until she went to bed. After she went off to bed he started drinking faster and faster. Eventually he comes into the kitchen and rants about how she's the worst woman in the world and about how she and another ex-girlfriend were bitches trying to ruin his life. Eventually he can't stand it anymore and he tells everyone loudly that he's going home. At this point he's falling-down drunk and in no shape to drive. I follow him into the garage where his car was parked and try to talk with him. He talks about how much he loves the girl and how his life is over without her (they had been dating for 8 days and had only had sex once.) He didn't care if he died driving drunk. Another friend came in and tried to talk some sense into him too, even offering to drive him all the way back home, but he wasn't listening. He opens up the garage door and sees another car just on the other side that's blocking him in. At this point he decides that he's going to ram the car behind him out of the way and gets in his car to start it up. Two of us jump him and physically wrestle him out of the car, grab his keys and hold him down for a while. He eventually gets up, almost throws a punch at the guy who he'd been seething about and then starts sulking in the corner. Eventually another friend gives him a pep talk and he starts doing pushups and pumping free weights that were in the garage. Eventually he comes back in looking manic and talking about how he wasn't going to let BITCHES ruin his life and promptly passes out on the couch. He didn't go home when he sobered up and the rest of the trip was an awkward mess. He was at least apologetic and we dealt with it as well as we could. The family members that owned the mountain house sold it later that year so we couldn't go back and it's a tremendous shame that most of our memories involve our friend being a huge jackass. I'm still friends with him, though. He hasn't had a similar outburst since and he's at least self-aware enough to know that he can't pull that poo poo again but he's still got some obvious issues that bubble to the surface when he's been drinking.

Pick posted:That's weird and sad. this thread is a pretty crazy look into the world of men. like how could you not just be able to give your friend a gift just because you appreciate him and you love him. how do men show they love each other? Men don't really do superfluous shopping a lot. They go in with a plan in mind and get those things and that's it. If X isn't available a quick search for a replacement item maybe, but not for long. Women like to go in with a plan in mind but remain open to other purchases and peruse around so they are more likely to come across a random item that they then buy bc 'oh X person will love this!' That's not  or anything, that's just a documented behavior for whatever reason (maybe bc women have more cones vs rods than men? idk). So, the opportunity to get little gifts just isn't really there in the same way.That said my friends and I would exchange a small gift and I don't think anyone would be weirded out by it? My friend just moved and found a bunch of his old Lego and knowing that I've gotten into messing around with it lately he gave it all to me.

Not exactly sure, but then I'm kind of a hosed upish dude so i might not be the best example of normal dudes bein normal. I just know that the closest relationships with other men have pretty much been the ones I served with in the army mainly because there was just that intangible thing like oh poo poo we may all die, but we didnt so gently caress yeah dude I love you no homo Hell civilian dudes nothing personal but all I know now are trust fund kids, wanna be PUAs who yell at their parents for buying them the wrong brand new flagship phone or color of car , and I just  and pretty much just go home and hang out with my g/f and my animals that are nice and fluffy and make me all  Guess I like animals a lot better than people.

As a dude I think it's really weird that for some reason you think you need gifts instead of just like, hanging out to show that you're friends with someone. Like really whipping out gifts would be super awkward, I'd rather just hang out and drink beers or go to a sportsball game. e: I guess I've given my friends stuff when they've been like "well I want/need x" and I happen to have x and not be using it, but I dont really go out of my way to buy presents for people.

You don't get the gift to show them you're their friend in lieu of hanging out, you go hang out with said friend and then hey I bought you X because I saw it and I thought you'd like it friend  It's bc they genuinely thought the other person would like the gift, not to gain friendship points like it's The Sims (well, in most cases). You don't get your friend a small gift if his B-day is coming up and you see something cool in the store?
