If your girlfriend doesn’t make you feel good about yourself and bring joy to your life, fire her. That’s what girlfriends are for.

Loved this part. Fire her!

I really enjoyed most of this piece, some BP elements in some his advice but overall a wealth of wisdom. Thank you for sharing.

20 Don’t bother with “emotional affairs.” They are just a vehicle for women to flirt and have someone make them feel good about themselves. That’s the part of a relationship they want. For you it is a lot of work and investment in time. If they are having an emotional affair with you, they’re probably fucking someone else.

Every young shy man should have this staring him in the face until he believes it. I wish I could go back in time and beat the shit out of myself for being the emotional teddybear they could cry on while fucking the asshole.

22 Have and nurture friendships with women.

Absolutely, just don't be friends with someone you're torturing yourself with because you're attracted to them. Either become their friend for real or gtfo because you're just gonna cause pain all around.

Don’t mentally or physically abuse people because of who they are, or how they present themselves. It’s none of your business to try to intimidate people into conformity.

I remember this post.

The part about falling in love, having women friends, and forgiving women for being friends but putting you in the "friendzone" rings more hollow each day. I just can't resolve the cognitive dissonance from the fact that as a guy, we have to grow so god damn much in our lives, but so many women around us never do, because they never have to. How can you invest in something like that? She's just going about her day, not going to expend any energy your way. How can you befriend something like that, knowing she will never feel the same way and is totally willing to throw you away for someone better because love and honor are just words? Some days ignorance is really bliss.
