It started out with books and videos about how to pick up women, even though he never had a hard time with the other gender. He's been dropping "women are like X and men are like X" truths since I've known him, I just thought he'd never been told differently, like a kid who thinks all girls wear dresses and all boys play football.

I'd debate him on these things and we could talk about it respectfully toward each other. Sometimes I'd give him a win and sometimes he'd give me a win. But I've noticed a change since he got rejected by a girl a few months ago.

His views on women pop up far more often, and debating about it isn't possible anymore since he gets really heated about it. He also keeps talking about alfa and beta people. A few days ago I was at his place to talk about the girl who dumped him, as he still felt bad. He told me women only want attention from men, money and.. well, not much else really.

I got up and grabbed my coat, I was so frustrated I could cry. I asked him, why do you think I'm here? Is this because I want attention or money from you, or did I come here to help you? He responded very dismissive, bullshitted around and basically said that I'm an exception, but still I do want attention from him somehow. I'm sorry, but I don't go around making up bad stuff about men and then tell you how all of your motives are evil. I left and I don't think I ever want to talk to him anymore.

I sort of get where this was coming from, his mother is an alcoholic, and besides her the only women he knows are me, the girl who rejected him, and the girlfriend of his mate. Besides that he's had a few one night stands with whom he didn't keep in contact, so it's easy for him to assume women are all the same. But fuck you if you think you can tell me that I don't mean well when I'm genuinely trying to help you out. Well good luck with your new found theories, I'm done trying to convince you otherwise, you lost a friend on this one, buddy.
