It's been a while since I've been back on the sub but every once and a while there will be a RP truth that hits me so hard that I feel like I need to share it with other men navigating this shit, especially as a young man (I'm 25).

Women just want to use you as a way of getting free attention and validation when you're a friend. They get to blueball you while still getting the emotional cushion of a BF. If by odd chance, you decided that her 'personality' was enough to want to stick around, she will easily dump you quickly whenever she gets whatever she wanted from you to begin with, whether that be that validation, money, rides, etc. or she wants to be perceived as 'super loyal' when she gets a boyfriend. It's even possible that she does find you attractive and she wants you as a backup option and expects you to wait around.

A GF is more of the friend shit listed above except at increasingly higher demands and meagar rewards - the mandatory sex once and a while and some half assed companionship. Then one day, she might claim low libidio or that she's found herself as an asexual, or maybe even that she wants an open relationship to keep things exciting. With all you do for her, it takes her a split second to call up the abusive ex who's cheated on her multiple times and leave you in the dust like you meant nothing to her (and there's a very good chance that you didn't). So, seriously fellas don't friend a bitch or get a GF, they make shitty friends, horrible companions, and have jack shit to say and almost all of them have some sort of mental issue (anxiety, depression, bipolar, BPD, etc.). Keep your sanity and your wallet in check.
