CHARLOTTE, NC–After two and a half years of subtle prodding and manipulation, Jill Nickles has finally molded boyfriend Brendan Eiler into the sort of man in whom she’s not interested.

Jill Nickles and Brendan Eiler.
“When I first met Brendan, he was a guitarist for [local rock band] The Heavy Petters, and I couldn’t take my eyes off him,” said Nickles, 28. “I used to go to Tramp’s every Thursday night just to watch him play. He wasn’t even the most handsome guy in the world, but he just had this mystique, this air of danger about him. He was really exciting. It’s too bad he’s not like that anymore.”

After several months of watching him from the crowd, Nickles finally introduced herself to Eiler after a show in September 1998. They soon began dating.

“Brendan was everything I wanted in a man,” Nickles said. “He was unpredictable, smart, and passionate. I knew he wasn’t perfect, but he was really fun to be around–which is more than I can say for him now.”

Just weeks into the relationship, Nickles began to notice changes.

“It started pretty early,” Nickles said. “Instead of being the wild man he’d been, more and more he’d just stay home like a lump, even on nights I told him it was okay if he went out.”

Four months to the day after their first date, Nickles moved into Eiler’s one-bedroom apartment. The move only accelerated the changes in him.

“Jill and I weren’t living together long before she started getting irritated by how small the apartment was,” Eiler said. “She was always complaining about how she didn’t have space anymore. Then, she got this idea to get a bigger place, but I couldn’t really afford it, since I was just barely scraping by with what I earned bartending at Mickey’s. I really liked bartending, and it allowed me flexible hours for band practice and gigs. But, like Jill said, I was 25 now and shouldn’t be living hand-to-mouth.”

At Nickles’ urging, Eiler quit his job at Mickey’s and landed a position at SFR Solutions, a Charlotte-area web-design firm. The job paid nearly $4,000 a year more than bartending, enabling the couple to move into a larger apartment.

With a full-time job and a live-in girlfriend, Eiler’s relationship with his bandmates soon began to deteriorate.

“They kept wanting to play more and more gigs, and I felt like if we wanted to land a record deal, what I needed to do was stay home and write some strong new material,” Eiler said. “Even Jill had stopped going to see us because she said she was getting sick of hearing the same songs–and she was our number-one fan. Finally, they said I had to make more time for shows or they’d get a new guitarist. I was like, ‘Screw you guys,’ and left. Jill pointed out that the band wasn’t really going anywhere anyway, and that I was better off in no band at all than one made up of a bunch of unambitious losers.”

Upon quitting the band, Eiler’s lifestyle changes accelerated. In September 2000, he cut his long mane of hair in an effort to land a promotion to associate design director at SFR Solutions. Nickles also convinced him to become a vegetarian and sell his customized leather jacket to put a down payment on a new Toyota Camry.

“When we first started dating, Jill loved how I looked in that jacket,” Eiler said. “But then, a few months later, she said I was getting too old to wear something like that. Plus, it didn’t really gibe with my new vegetarian beliefs. So, with Jill’s full support, I decided it was time to put my old ways to rest.”

Now a self-described homebody, Eiler said he finds his domestic lifestyle “really satisfying.”

“If you told me two years ago that I’d be thinking of marriage, a house with a picket fence, and kids, I would have said you were nuts,” Eiler said. “All I used to care about was hanging with my friends and having a good time. I guess it’s true that the love of a good woman can really change you for the better.”

Despite Nickles’ success in sculpting Eiler into “husband material,” she found her attraction for him beginning to wane.

“The reason I fell so hard for Brendan was that he was totally different from the guys I used to date,” Nickles said. “He had beautiful long hair, and he was really smart and cynical. Now he reminds me of my boring ex-boyfriend Kevin, who’s an accountant in Raleigh.”

Even though Nickles’ nights of going out to see The Heavy Petters are long over, she still enjoys going out on occasion.

“A couple of weeks ago, I was at the bar Brendan and I used to go to all the time,” Nickles said. “I ran into Rob, the bassist for Brendan’s old band and, I have to tell you, he looked really good. We hung out and talked for hours and just had a great time. Drinking and laughing with him really reminded me of the way it used to be with Brendan. I think I’m developing a little crush on Rob.”

“It’s only funny because it’s TRUE.” Well, maybe funny to normal blue-pillers at this point. This stuff isn’t even funny to me anymore for many reasons.

Yes, they picked Alpha types who didn’t give a s~~~ about their self perceived dominance or anything else. What women say they want and what they really want are two very different things.

But after so many new guys, I’ve just had it. Maybe the new guys should go through the old threads instead of creating new ones like this^.
This seems like a wastage of space to me.

I’m quite fed up of this whole “women-are-s~~~” thing

Nobody said “women are s~~~” here and there would be PUSHBACK from other members if anyone did. But women actually DO attempt to change men and we have proof of it in the archives – with testimony written by women called: “how to train your man like a dog”.

So is it satire, REALLY?????

“Women are s~~~” is a completely different statement from “women are women“. And that’s what they really do. Then, you get further testimony written by a man not even an hour ago (and brought by Clint) who’s wife blamed him ‘Because he changed”.

True story.

So if you have a *problem* that women are seen here and talked about EXACTLY FOR WHAT THEY ARE and according to their own behavior. Then you can LEAVE. Because we will point out to other men exactly what women actually do – with zero apology – and vigorously call them out on their s~~~. We will emphasize for the benefit of other men with great big f~~~ off capital letters.

Those letters spell….

MGTOW

and they will understand exactly where it comes from and why it exists.

There will be no apology for that.

Don’t worry about the space. This post takes up no space at all.
But it’s relevant to the content and a subject we were talking about 10 minutes ago.

But by the time a 100th guy does that, then please forgive me if I find it redundant.

No forgiveness required. I suppose I should find it redundant then too. After all, I have done my bit. I saved a few guys a few million dollars. Stopped a few weddings. Saved a few lives. Maybe you’re right. Maybe it’s getting redundant.

It’s also redundant that I have to perform a shoulder check every time I need to change lanes …..
even though I ALREADY KNOW there is no car there and saw it in the side view mirror.

If I’m gonna turn my head and double check anyway, it seems like a real waste of a mirror. Right?

This article from the onion was never posted before.
So that’s not your REAL issue.

Get down to the REAL issue and stop wasting my time.
Because that bulls~~~ accusation of “misogyny” gets pretty f~~~ing redundant when you should already KNOW.

But I will explain it again to you anyway. If I look up at the sky and observe the moon for exactly what it is, and I say “look at that lifeless rock. It doesn’t even have any atmosphere! Useless!” Does that mean I hate the moon? Am I a moon-sogynist???? Did I just say the moon is S~~~???? Am I even implying the moon is S~~~???

Explaining this over and over again to people who should already know is f~~~ing redundant.
Search the forums before you try that s~~~ again.

Because after a point of time, it becomes painfully redundant.

This link in question would be lost tomorrow after only a narrow exposure to members who are currently online. What possibly can a member say other than “AWALT”, after reading this link?

The Manosphere repeats the same message over and over again: “Don’t sign a marriage contract for any f~~~ing reason you stupid f~~~”. But men are still doing it! And they are still killing themselves over a divorce. I even gave you a link to a thread showing another guy yesterday who asked for advice on what to do in his current situation… while his girlfriend is banging on the table for a wedding and babies. Do you think he’s gonna f~~~ing listen? Do you think there will be another suicide or he will set himself on fire like Thomas Ball? Because if he does, then what we are doing here is pretty f~~~ing redundant.

BUT lots of members come to the forum and don’t even visit the archives.
We can’t force them to visit the archives and search. FACT.

We already have VIDEOS / AUDIOS / QUOTES / BOOKS / IMAGES / POSTS which have an independent search.

We also have FORUMS / TOPICS / AND REPLIES with an independent search.

We even separated them for the users convenience!

So we don’t have a links archive. REQUEST ONE! But don’t do it like this.

Because this guy brought the article, you can now search the forums for “woman changes man” and you will find it.

So if you would like to REQUEST AND ARCHIVE OF LINKS please summit a request using the contact form.
But post to members “I’m getting really tired of this women are s~~~ stuff” is just like what are you a CHICK???

I expect that from a feminist.
Nagging because she has to break a nail to look for something twice.
