Thank you, sincerely. It’s frustrating because the primary point of most everything I write is to be tongue-and-cheek funny. If people don’t find it funny, that’s fine I’ll just try to do better next time. I just get a bit wounded that everyone is taking something that was meant to be in jest as an implication that I’m an awful person.
FTR, I thought MissJackson’s original comment was funny. My response was meant to be snarky, not undercut her. So I hope she didn’t take offense.
Thank you very much for posting the definition there, it’s clear many people needed this clarification.
Now, with that in mind, please re-read the article, paying particular attention to the sentences “…more extroverted people tend to not understand that certain innocuous requests and phrases can cause an internal spiral of panic and anger [among introverts]. Here are seventeen of those such phrases, and how I–a man who gives zero fucks–truly want to respond to them”
No, but writing hyperbolic and satirical takes on societal practices that a sizeable portion of the population would prefer to avoid is a hobby. Sorry if that concept’s a little too high-brow for you, but I guess that’s to be expected from someone who doesn’t know what a comeback is (see previous).
Just had a whole weekend of alone time and now my girlfriend is back so I get to spend tonight snuggled up with her, some wine, and the Bachelor finale. So life’s pretty goddamn good.
One thing that worked wonders for me: applying it at night before you go to bed instead of in the morning. Do it in the morning and you might not have it apply as well after your shower, or you might actually sweat a lot of it off before it starts working.
It’s hard when the other person seems to be interested, stringing you along with little indications and never quite on telling you they’re not interested.
I asked a girl that I had been friends with for years out. She said yes. We went out. I try to kiss her. She rejects it. She says she wants to be friends right now, but maybe we can date when her life settles down.
Good points. Luckily I really don’t get drained spending time with her the way I do with other people. She brings my energy up, and I tamper her levels a bit. That’s why we work so well.

Well apparently it doesn’t matter and we can all be on whatever time we want! But, seriously, thanks for pointing it out.

In the dating scene DC is to job status as LA is to attractiveness.

We all have our hobbies.

If I make out with a girl on the first date, do I have to ask? Because that seemed to be a fairly clear indication.

THAT is the friendzone.

Risk is 100% the GOAT and acting like it destroys more lives than Monopoly is sacrilege.
I can’t believe I’m saying this: I’m in total agreement with Duda. Robert Muldoon is the fashion icon we lost too soon.
