This "article" (note the quotes) I saw on my Facebook feed lists the "5 toxic behaviors you shouldn't tolerate from others" - and obviously written by a woman. Nothing wrong with it being written by a woman, may I add, but what I find funny is that it's essentially describing what virtually EVERY woman friend does to each other.
AWALT, gentlemen. Do not befriend women. Be friendly, but don't be their friend. It's not worth it. I used to to be someone who had a lot of female "friends". Now they're just acquintainces who happened to be female, nothing more.
5 Toxic Behaviors You Shouldn’t Tolerate From Others
By Andrea Schulman| If you are trying to create a better life for yourself, it’s a good idea to evaluate the people you are close with to make sure they don’t exhibit any chronic, toxic behaviors. Toxic behaviors are not only unpleasant to be around, but left unchecked, the negativity they likely elicit from you can snowball and bleed into all areas of your life. It’s hard to be positive and optimistic when you are in a relationship that isn’t good for your soul. Here are 5 behaviors you shouldn’t tolerate from others. We all can be a little negative from time to time, so please don’t assume that everyone you are close to must be “perfect” and never do any of these things. However, if you are close with someone who exhibits toxic behaviors on a consistent basis, you might want to consider removing yourself from the relationship:
1) Gossip
Avoid relationships that center around gossip. As has famously been said: “Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.” Quality relationships are based on an exchange of ideas and excitement; this is what helps us grow, evolve and achieve our dreams.
2) Backhanded compliments
Backhanded compliments are a form of passive aggression (e.g. “it’s nice to meet someone who doesn’t care about the way they look” or “I don’t care what they say, you’re alright”). These hidden insults come from people who are radiating low vibrational energy. Good relationships will only uplift you with kind and genuine feedback.
3) Competitiveness
Constantly being one-upped or having someone nip at your heels is not healthy. People who are happy for your successes and confident in their own accomplishments are the only ones capable of providing you with quality support. The only person anyone should be competing with is himself or herself.
4) One-sidedness
Individuals who only come around when it suits them or who demand that things should always be done their way will likely leave you feeling marginalized and unloved. Good relationships demonstrate a solid balance of compromise and mutual respect.
5) Pointing out your flaws
Being close with someone who tells humiliating stories about you, criticizes your looks or likes to post ugly pictures of you on social media can be damaging to your self-esteem. The best friends and lovers will focus on your positive qualities and care about your feelings. If you feel that you are in a relationship with someone who exhibits toxic behaviors, you might want to think about distancing yourself from it. Even if you find that you can’t fully end the relationship you will benefit from pulling away a bit and resolving to spend more time with people who are good for your soul. You deserve to be happy and you deserve to be respected. Anyone who tries to make you feel otherwise should be held at arm’s length.

That said, I obviously actually encourage competition and pointing out someone's flaws. But don't forget this is womanese talk we're talking about. By "competition" she just means "avoid being next to higher value women" as it will decrease their value, and by "Pointing out your flaws" she means "avoid being reminded of your low value".

I like how the woman doesn't even understand masculine competitiveness, it's a good thing, and not about biting each other at the ankles, that's what petty assholes and women do. Competitiveness on equal footing is extremely motivating and helps you achieve great things.

You're spot on. Women aren't the least bit loyal either. I was pretty good friends with this girl for several years. One day out of the blue she just stopped texting me. Come to find out some dude told her that she couldn't be friends with me any more and she wasn't allowed to talk to me. Who the hell treats someone like that?

This article, while juvenile, strikes a chord with me. I am dating a great girl with shitty friends. My last girlfriend had no friends. This one has a couple close friends. They are fine to hang around at times, but they do nothing to support each other. They are failing in health and are complacent being "liked." It's becoming really, really unattractive to be around them. I look at them as sloppy and gluttons. I feel like my gf is falling into their trap. She is on a trip with them now, but will get a talking to when she gets back.
meet_me_at_high_noon 11y ago
one of my best friends is a woman. It's telling that all her friends are guys.
These rules don't apply to her. She's always been one of the guys. Goes to the gym every day, works two jobs, gives me free health exams (shes a nurse) and has almost never asked me for anything, and always is willing to hang out. But again, NONE OF HER FRIENDS ARE GIRLS.

The closest thing to friendship that women can offer men is "orbiting beta male status". The woman allows you to be in her social circle, and to enjoy her presence, only as long as you provide her with goods and services and emotional support.
If you don't think this is true, just try denying a woman "friend" of yours something that she asks of you.
My favorite mass media entertainment example is from Friends. Phoebe walks through the room with a brand-new pair of roller blades. Ross asks "Where'd you get those?" Phoebe says "Mike gave them to me! And he's spending the weekend teaching me how to use them!"
Ross asks her "And what are you doing for Mike?" Phoebe responds "I'm letting him!!"
That's all you need to know about the "friendships" between men and women.
For the sake of completeness, I should also point out that women can't be friends with each other, either. Just wait until two women "friends" have something that they both want - just watch the claws come out!
cover20 11y ago
That's true for women when you are in their friendzone.
A good woman friend is one who is in your friendzone. One who might want to fuck you but that you are refusing to escalate, etc.
It can be useful to have a female perspective, and I like having some friends like that.
seattleron 11y ago
These are the reasons so many chicks say things like, "I hate girls," or, "I like having guy friends."
Girls make shitty friends. They can't shut the fuck up about anything long enough to appreciate one another, and they're all so damn insecure about everything that they take stupid shit personally.
I can't tell you how many chicks I've met who give me the, "I don't have any/very many friends" speech. It's damn near universal, and it's always for the same reason: you talked shit on them/they talked shit on you, and you "can't stand that bitch," so you hang around dudes who only want to fuck you so they're orbiters, or you actually do fuck them because you don't have anything else going on and he farted in front of you once and that's just so manly.
Honestly, it's sad in a way, and it's a big reason why I think some women just want a baby so bad. They want someone to love and who will love them back that isnt a girl who will stab them in the back, a beta who will disgust them, or an alpha that will leave them.
Fucked up circle, but they've only got themselves to blame. The truly decent, kind, sweet women I know (the 1% of females out there) always have a several really close friends, but the majority don't.

"...she has the power. She can raise it to believe anything she wants.
This right here.
As men, look at how much work goes into trying to gain power over ourselves - it's a life-long struggle. Think a woman is cut out for that line of work, her against her monstrous labyrinth of a million different emotions? A baby grants her the feeling of power she cannot attain on her own, and in this overwhelming, constant extraction of power she finds "her purpose".

When I was low on money, I once made the mistake of borrowing money from a female friend, whom I had known for years and who knew I was, on average, very financially stable, but had had a perfect storm of bills all at the same time, and switched to a new job.
Over the next month, I experienced what can only be described as a shit storm of yelling at me, asking for all of the money back at least a dozen times, relenting the moment I showed I was willing to do so, yelling once again a couple days later, asking for every dime back again.
On the other hand, with male friends I've had debts go both ways and it has never been much of an issue. I once had a friend I technically owed several hundred dollars to for a few years, but it was all because we never got around to squaring it. He now owes me like $300-400 dollars and has for a few years, and we haven't gotten around to squaring it.
I think a large part of it has to do with security - money being borrowed to a woman's psychology = less safe, holy shit things need to be protected, holy shit it's time for freaking out and micromanaging.
It's the same sort of response that prompts shit tests.

Women are afraid of giving anyone money in general. I have no idea why, and any supposition would come across as sexist.
I used to be a delivery driver and women tip like they're on an allowance. My average lunch tip was between 1 and 2 dollars for females, 4 to 5 dollars for males. That is a HUGE difference when you think about it. A 200-400% difference. Are they really spending everything they don't use for rent and insurance?

Women are the majority consumers in society. They buy a lot of flashy bullshit and get suckered into buying stuff because it's on sale regardless of the fact that they would have never even gotten the thing in the first place.
Dark-Ulfberht 11y ago
Also notice how men and women deal with paying for dinner and drinks.
A group of men will often rotate who pays. So, on Friday, Bill grabs the check, no matter what the amount. Saturday is Rick's turn. Next Friday, it's Mike. No one gives a shit if Friday's check is $20 dollars more than Saturdays.
Women? Hell no. That shit will be split down to the last red cent. Every fucking time. They'll haggle for 20 minutes over who should pay for the appetizer, and fucking Jenny will get pissed if they try to split it evenly because, by God, she didn't eat those fucking nachos since she's on her goddamn cleanse this week.

Borrowing money from friends is always pretty interesting and can go either way depending on their relationship with money and how they value you as a person.
In highschool, I once lent an acquaintance $10. He was the son of a Catholic priest so I thought that I could trust him. He, however, figured he could just not pay me back as I was the shortest kid in school and a non-threat. After a couple of weeks of deflection, I realized that he would not pay back my ten dollars.
So, I went to his car and stole the gate opener to the house/parish where he lived. The location of the parish was downtown Bridgeport, not a nice area. Each day, after school was let out, I would drive down and open the gate with the gate opener, then leave. This went on for several days and he proceeded to get reamed out by his father.
By the end of the week, he paid me back my ten dollars and I gave him his gate-opener. Afterwards, we became friends.
Fifteen years later, and I am cash short and ask this same friend if I could borrow ten thousand dollars. With reluctance, he agreed. I paid him back a couple of months later.
SkorchZang 11y ago
There's an old saying that if you want to lose a good friend fast, just lend him some money.
ScumbagBillionaire 11y ago
Which is why you don't lend money to friends or family with the expectation of ever seeing it again.
Give it freely or not at all.

Why is it that anytime a woman gets you under the thumb, like you with the money borrowing from a woman, they think they can just cut you open and sew you up anyway they like?
cocaine_face 11y ago
Because you are weak. Women do not like weakness. It frightens them. It means BAD THINGS are going to happen, and they blame you because you're responsible. If you were stronger, it wouldn't happen.
It is irrelevant that my weakness was due to having a (relatively minor, but still cost me) car accident, getting a new job (with first 3 weeks paycheck held), commuting over an hour a day + parking (expensive), and having to have two apartments temporarily while I moved my stuff and it'd all be cleared up in a month or two - it was WEAKNESS and that meant SHIT WAS GOING DOWN, THE WORLD IS ENDING.
Maybe it is instinctual that a woman views a man as either in the MAN category - independent, stronger than her and capable of doing whatever he needs to, or the DEPENDENT category - weaker than her, prone to die at any second, like a small child or an elderly grandparent and needing constant surveillance. They'd resent you for being in the second category if they feel you should be in the first.
reddishman 11y ago
That's weird coz I have had women pay for my share of the meal and it didn't cause for any drop in attractiveness from her side. Infact quite the opposite. It just goes to prove that you can get away with pretty much anything as long as you are her alpha male.
cocaine_face 11y ago
That's entirely different.
Unless you were like, "Baby, I NEED you to pay for this, because otherwise I can't go out", you were presumably coming relatively from a position of strength - "Hey, you pay for me today" - does not come off as weak.
It's not the money that's the issue here - it's the weakness. When you're borrowing money, you're more or less implicitly or explicitly coming from a place of weakness.
JonnyZar 11y ago
My ex would constantly complain about her friends and would tell me how they're "not good people". My response was always "so why hang out with them?". Never got a straight answer. Looking back on it, I'd have to say it's because she too, is not a good person.
cariboo_j 11y ago
Ha yeah.
The last girl I dated, most of her female friends were shallow, obsessed with appearances, constantly shit talking each other, habitual liars, her two closest friends had eating disorders, had been in and out of psych wards and would regularly cheat on their boyfriends.
She only had one female friend I actually respected and wasn't constantly embroiled in drama with some guy and/or cheating. Incidentally she wasn't part of the "inner circle".
Birds of a feather flock together, but in my BP naivete I convinced myself "She's different... she'd never pull that shit on me..."

The best part is that #3 & #5 are actually things that can be good when done right. If your friends give you constructive criticism it can help you improve. Competition can motivate you to do better when it is friendly and controlled. The problem in those examples is how women do it.

I get your point, and as someone who has had friends that were girls throughout high school (lol), I agree. But #3? It's nice to have some competitive friends. Pushes you a lot harder than ones who don't do anything but sit around and worship you like some kind of servant.

Repentent_sinner 11y ago
You're wrong about the competition part. There are some people who will try to constantly one-up you. I knew one idiot in college who would not share some info for a test with us, his 'friends', just so that he would have an advantage over us, at the test. Obviously, I certainly would not call a person who is trying to feel superior to me, a friend.
The behaviour that article cites can be found in men as well. What? Are men immune to jealousy and slander? Stop posting shit which is of no use to anyone.

Women can't stand each other, but if they ever feel womankind is under threat they'll band together like hyenas. Their friendships aren't much different, women make friends purely out of necessity.
cover20 11y ago
I don't think it's defense of womankind, but each woman's defense of herself, and their many similarities that make them all react the same.
And then, if any woman remains, she had better not say anything differently, or all those other women WILL turn on her like a pack of hyenas. So it appears that women are a "team" but actually they are ruthlessly suppressing internal dissent. You will NEVER get shit from a bunch of women like a woman can when they don't like her.
Feminism is hardest on the women.
R4F1 11y ago
I don't know what you're saying that goes against what I said, or if you're simply elaborating on my point. But let me explore something for you. Just as individual women have market value, 'womankind' too has a market value. Which is why feminists and women in general fight hard to ensure that women don't lose that value and status they have. This is true for both feminist and non-feminist women.
Why do you think movies often have a love angle when its completely irrelevant to the storyline? Often its the tough SOB who falls for some bimbo who he can't get over and is madly in love with. Its because movie producers know that women makeup a strong portion of their audience, and women love the idea that a strong and aloof male can fall for a woman. The woman is not her, but the very fact that any woman can have such power/status gives her value and makes her feel tingly and feeds her ego.
I've watched music videos of The Weeknd (RnB singer whose themes revolve around sex, but is very RP as opposed to gynocentric like most RnB singers), and most common complaints in the comment section aren't by women saying how he treats them like meat/objects, rather they complain about why The Weeknd rarely has black chicks in his videos, or thick chicks, or latinas and so on. Every single time its usually women who are projecting and complaining why they're demographic isn't being represented.
We know there's many women who identify as anti-feminists or non-feminists, and they openly disagree with feminism. But try introducing one of these women to MGTOW philosophy, and more often then not they'll lose their mind. Why? Because "Men Going Their Own Way", once again, means womenkind losing their value. Because a MGTOW doesn't give women value, he ignores them totally.
Why do you think the Wall is such a significant force in changing a woman's life? Because the moment a woman hits the wall, she loses all attention, and consequently loses her individual value. Imagine if there was some social force that hit all women together, they would lose their mind. That is why women band together and go apeshit whenever they feel their place or value in society is being questioned.
alreadyredschool 11y ago
Stop hamstring. You fucked up having friends and somehow manage to think this is good advice? Female friends rock. If you know how to handle them in a RP way.
Female friends open the world to parties - more chances
Assorvative mating - They see you with hot girls and think you are hot shit
Status - Status and preselection
They have female friends - More chances, you will get to know more girls than ever
Their friendzoned guys have more female friends - Access to several new social circles
Getting better at socializing - Improves your game skills
Simple dread because you hang out with girls - Nice LTR/Plate benefit
onehonesttruth 11y ago
What you describe above as "friends", I describe as acquintainces. Friends are more than someone who just invites you to parties every now and then. It's someone that if you fuck up or if shit happens, you can count on helping you get back up.
alreadyredschool 11y ago
In that case you never had a female friend and you talk about a subject you know nothing about. We can keep switching the definition of things to avoid having to admit that someone is wrong but I would much rather make progress here. Women don't invite everyone they know to parties. And to me friends are people that let you sleep over spontaneously.
