I'm at a new bar and there is an *actual* alpha male here with his gf and she is shit testing the hell out of him and I'm just nibbling on my molė laughing

She asked the bartender "whats the most expensive tequila you have?" and I almost died laughing. Me and bro locked eyes for a second and I used all of the psychic power in my body to telepathically tell him 'run'!

She went to the car because she got mad at him. He started talking to me. I told him I noticed all the shit tests. He said it doesn't matter how much money he makes she tries to make him feel like he's low class. We are friends now, he lives on the lake too we are bros.

Tony is 38. She was his crush from high school. They finally got togerher 5 years ago. She has turned into a fat bitch the past 2 years. My new friend Tony is caught in the classic masculine trap: we see women as they once were, or as they could be again, not as they are.

Men are vastly more romantic than women and we NEVER get credit for it

At all times in a man's brain there are millions of calculations running, imagining what she would look like 20 years younger or envisioning her 40 lbs lighter.

Men are the True Idealists

In 99% of cases, when you find a male staying in a relationship with a low quality woman, he has created an artificial "construct" of her in his mind that is significantly less fat/more amicable than the actual woman. Men are HOPELESS romantics, we can create infinite delusions.

Sometimes you just have to be the harbinger of broken dreams to these men, there's no other way

You have to literally say "you're in love with an ideal that existed 20 years ago and the being that briefly achieved that ideal is never coming back"

The scary thing is not pulling these men out of their delusions. The scary thing is how they act after they no longer have a comfy delusion to cling to
