So about a year ago I was in a really bad spot. Business wasn't doing well, I had stopped going to the gym while I was trying to find sources of income and lost a lot of weight. My friend introduced me to this girl and even though I was pretty depressed I still managed to attract her.

She was 27, pretty hot but pretty boring too. It was alright. We dated for 2 months and then she started dropping hints of disinterest and stopped initiating. I took it as lack of interest but still messaged her twice to probe interest over the next few months. She'd give bad excuses each time so I stopped contacting her.

In those 9 months I hit the gym really hard and gained 30lbs. My new and improved buff picture is on my FB profile.

So today she messaged me with
"Hey, long time! We should grab a coffee and catch up sometime”

I must admit my heart fluttered a bit because I could feel the impending victory of the plate that came crawling back. I considered my options. Meet up with her, show her how much I changed, enjoy some more time together? Or fuck her once and ghost her? Leave her on read and get the smug satisfaction that indifference will hurt her the most? Nah, none of these fit my style. I had to rub that shit in her face.

So I went with:
"Haha, with how good I look right now? I don't think so"

She was in "typing..." for a little bit and then left me on read.

Do any of you actually take them back and feel good about it? In ghosting you, she essentially slapped you in the face and told you there's a better man out there. If you were the only one alpha in her life, she'd never have taken her time to go shopping while leaving you hanging.

Would you be friends with someone who stopped being friends with you because you were down and out and had no money? But as soon as they saw a pic of you driving a Lambo on your IG feed, they started wanting to be friends with you again? "Hey bro how are u let's chill soon! PS nice lambo"

What self-respecting man would do this?

To me, that's unforgivable. If this bitch didn't want me at my worst, why should she have me at my better? Yes, I come off as bitter. But I just don't give a fuck. Fuck off, hoe.
