I gotta rant.

[Vector VikingParticipant 413]

This has really been bugging the crap out of me lately, and I can’t talk to my friend who it affects most. First, it isn’t really my place to say how he should live his life, and second, he probably wouldn’t listen to me anyway.

One of my good friends from college is in a total s~~~ blue-pill nightmare right now. He’s a sound and recording engineer here in Nashville. This career has been his dream since junior high school, and he’s worked his ass off to get where he is- this is a coveted job in this town and they don’t just give these jobs to people with the right credentials. You have to sacrifice A LOT, know the right people, impress the right people, and be in the right place at the right time. There are LOTS of people with Recording Production degrees that work at McDonald’s or Wal-Mart or some s~~~ty call center job or what have you. I’m proud of his success and achievements. S~~~, the guy just turned 30 and he already has one grammy on his mantle.

He married his college sweetheart- who loved the s~~~ out of me when they were dating, but turned a 180 once they were married. It happens. I’m a “bad influence” on husbands. She doesn’t let him go anywhere if she knows I’m going to be there now. 5 months ago they had a baby, and last week I saw on my facebook feed that the hotel chain she works for has promoted her and they’re moving to…. F~~~ING ANNAPOLIS. Yeah, great music town that is. Plenty of opportunity for him to advance his career there I’m sure. And this happening when her primary concern should be their infant daughter, all so she can get a meager raise (which will definitely be eaten up by the higher cost of living there) and a status title. He’ll probably end up being a stay-at-home dad until she divorces him for “not being the man she married” instead of living his purpose.

I see s~~~ like this happen far too often, but not as often to people that I truly give a s~~~ about.

It is all about HER as it always is in relationships and I am that type of bloke where girlfriends don’t like their other halves spending time with me as they get worried I might open his eyes to the s~~~ she is pulling.

Doesn’t sound like there is anything you can do about it and if you say something she will use that to twist him against you

[Vector VikingParticipant 413]

I know. It’s sad. There isn’t a damn thing I can do to help him. My only recourse is to have a spare bedroom for when s~~~ does hit the fan, and help minimize the damage she’ll likely do.

Well unless he has the connections to get work with a local broadcaster (tv or radio) then it’s game over for him.  Have you asked him what his career plans will be in his new town?  Maybe that could be a good segue in to, “But you worked so hard and so long to get here.  Are you sure walking away from it is a good idea?  Few people get the chance you did.”  I dunno…it probably won’t sway him but it’s worth a shot.  Rather than confront him with facts use the Socratic method….ask the right questions that stimulate critical thinking and let him give the answers.  Might be the best shot you have…

HISTORY...learn from it, memorize it, DON'T repeat it...

Shaking my head on this one. Seriously what is he thinking?? Like you said all you can do is keep a spare bedroom for him. And make sure you never say ” I told you so”.  I’m sure he knows it is a terrible idea for him career wise but the influence of a pretty face and regular sex is truly astounding these days – sighhhhhhh. And boy oh boy the s~~~ is going to hit the fan if he can’t find a job paying as much as the former one. His wife will definitely complain about finances, eventually making it seem as it’s all his fault. When are these types of men going to wake the hell up??

@Free, do you know the story about sleeping beauty? It’s just like that, but with a man: Sleeping Stupid, and it’s not a kiss to wake him up, it’s a hard slap from a MGHOW or two, that wakes him up…..

Tragic and depressing to hear. That sort of job is definitely not just something you can walk into with qualifications and experience alone.

As Barbarossa said, it is a war, and what he says about not just feminism but the whole dynamic of women who do it when they infiltrate men’s clubs that is the real damage, I have to admit he is right.

I f~~~ing hate my accountant. We were “friends” for a while, but he’s a goddam blue pill nightmare. Just EVERYTHING you can imagine, his perceptions are like the male version of a Disney Princess.

The guy knows everything about me, ( everything but the term “MGTOW”, that is ). He’s aware of my general stance, but not of “MGTOW”. A few days ago, we are wrapping up some last minute details before the deadline of tax season , and he says: “So how have you been? You’re gonna think Im crazy and Im about to break Keymaster’s cardinal rule.

ME: “you’re not getting married”

HE: “I am “.

ME: “Jesus Christ.”

HE: “I know I know…..”

(so rather than debating, I gave him my new stock response)

ME: ” You know what? I WANT you to get married. I absolutely believe that YOU are the right person to sign marriage contract. After all, who;s gonna keep this ridiculous going show going? I’m sure she’s a diamond in the rough. Im sure your prenup will be rock solid. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. They’re just bitter”.

My life long best friend was actually LIKABLE and his wife was sucking another dick within 4 months of the wedding.
This guy is a real asshole. He’ll be signing up here before his 37th Birthday.

I can’t WAIT for his introduction.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

VectorViking  SoulMan had a valid option that worked for me recently. My younger brother’s GF was living with him. I asked a few questions that stayed away from a direct attack on their relations~~~  and low and behold she is gone. He was forced to think about his situation but could not label my questions as being inappropriate..

This should be tried if you care about your friend. What could you lose if she has highjacked your friendship anyways?

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.

I applied MG-TOWER’s innuendo, and replaced the word “married” with “murdered”.

“Congratulations on deciding to get murdered! … I mean MARRIED!!! Married!! Oops Sorry man. Ha Ha…. “

Subtle.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.
