Men over a certain age, say about 23, don't really have friends. It's just a conspiracy by "alpha males" and females to keep supposedly beta males down. Let's review:
Your coworker
> not friend. Coworker
Your coworker's "friends" from his old workplace that he goes out drinking with
> not friends. Ex-coworkers
People you hang out with at rationalist meetups
> not friends. People who can bear to hear you talk about crazy rat shit that normies wouldn't tolerate, intellectually or morally
That person you grew up with
> most likely you grew apart and never talk to them any more, so - not friends. And sending them a generic card once a year does not count as "talking to them".
That person who keeps blagging drugs/food/money/homework off of you
> not friend. Leech.
That person you added on Facebook after talking to them once, and have never directly communicated with again
> Seriously? Not friends
Male celeb papped on holiday with a "close female friend"
> not friends. They're banging. Or he's gay and she's his beard.
Pop star who shoots a music video with his "friends"
> not friends. Paid actors. Or groupies.
That smoking hot girl who "likes" you
> not friend. Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity
Your gf/bf/spouse's male "friend"
> not friend. You're about to get cucked. Or you already have been.
Man who works in a shop and greets people he knows by name
> not friends, customers. EconPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
