I will admit, I enjoy talking to a LVM acquaintance because he validates literally everything FDS is saying. It's really amusing hearing him "confess" a "male secret" only for me to go, hey! I saw that on FDS! The ladies are right again!

Examples being..

  1. Dates. I brought up a friend who guilt herself into dating a NVM because he bought her a drink from sonic and some gas station snacks (I'm not joking.) LVM acquaintance was energized by this as it fueled his spiel, "Oh I LOVE girls like that. Men love girls like that. Listen- It's because it takes SUCH LITTLE EFFORT. I love it. [laughs] No they're not anyone I would date, but I love it because you can do the ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM and get in their pants. It's awesome dude."
  2. LVM acquaintance (who I'll refer to as LVA now) brought up his friend who asked him for advice. His friend, who is a woman, was telling him about this wonderful date where he took her on a "sunset date" (literally just watched the sunset together and talked for their first date). LVA was very peeved because she refused to understand that he didn't really like her. "Listen..Ugh..Dude if a guy takes you on a date like that, he doesn't like you. He wants to get away with as little effort as possible." I asked him how he felt about coffee or walk dates "Same thing! If you really like a girl you take her to dinner atleast. Not for a walk or coffee..Like we tried to tell her and she wouldn't listen." She was raving about this because she was "sick of assholes on dating apps"
  3. I brought up pickmes. I told him, hey, guys don't really like you if they aren't putting in a shit ton of effort, right? This sparked another spiel in him where he said "YES. Ok, so, listen. Like, I would say probably 80% of people a guy meets, he doesn't really give a fuck about.." So if he isn't giving you the world, he doesn't really like you? "YES. We will keep you around, I guess. But we don't really like, like you. You know? I can tell [my partner] loves you because I wouldn't do half the shit he does for [woman LVA is obsessed with] like I would never do that for any b****, even her."

Do I consider him a terrible person? Absolutely! Is he also an entertaining open book? Yes! Lmao
