    Enemies, no not really and if I do they probably don't even know it. I'm just trying to think. :p

    Who is somebody in my real life that I just don't have time for... I guess there really isn't too many. Even when people don't like me I don't consider them enemies nor the people I don't even like. I'd have a ton of school enemies and old work enemies but honestly in my life right now, I don't think I do. Not anybody that actually effects my life in anyway. There's always dickheads at the pub I don't like but they don't even mean anything to me to even label as an enemy.

    Maybe a few people I've played pool against that I thought were rude people. Yes I can name like 3 or 4 people I've met just through pool I'd consider an enemy, not just because they're my opponents, but when a grown man is rude to a female based on his insecurities that she might best him, well we're starting off with the foot in enemy territory. :p

    Yes I am extremely loyal, thank you! I'm actually a handy friend to have and know. Every now and I again I help a friend out outrageously or my family. Like my little sister looking for a place to live i say well you're already renting mine, here have a house. Or here I'll buy your car out. Or you need money for a holiday? Here you go, nothing in return. :)

    Hell I even started a business, my own company and bought a van just to sign over to a friend so he could start his own business but he couldn't because of bad credit etc. So I did all that for him, bought everything and signed it over. Never asked for anything I had fun for a few months anyway. That's a guy that had my back a lot and I remember all that. :)

    And then family, like with my little sister.. My other sisters are normal enough to not need help but no my youngest, she's... Different so I need to help her lol. So yeah she got my townhouse a few a years back she needed to save and you don't save much paying rent so signed my place over to her. She sold it 2 years later to buy a bigger property. Cunning move, but a smart move.

    Friendship, blood and relationship mean almost everything to me and I have always been very feudal so I think of my friends, my blood and my relationships as a very tight kingdom. :)

    Is it actually good to know me? I don't know and I
    can't say. :p but I bet it has its advantages sometimes.

    Five solid close friends, who have my back and I have theirs. I have several that are my have a drink, go to the movies, part of my FB list - that I’m careful as to what I share, but they’re still good people and I care about them.

    English is your native language. It is a foreign language to me. So when I drink, my brain can no longer work good enough to speak english since it is a foreign language for me.

    My native language is turkish which has no smilarity as english.

    Alcohol makes us stupid when we are on it. Our brains are drugged.

    not necessarily. i think what he's describing would also fit. i think the loss of self control is pretty much where the line is drawn; not so much losing control when drunk, but the inability to not drink when the craving hits.

    2 close friends. One I met though a work project and his background is very different than mine yet we kind of went into the same job and see the world the same. The other could be my twin. Same music, same look, same everything. I am friendly with a lot of my partner's friends. She knows everybody but I am kind of an accessory to her. If she is not around I don't have much to say beyond polite conversation. I am a shy person. These people are always in my house though so I have to get used to them. They are nice.


    Well the show was for women so maybe that should tell you what kind of men they like. The characters are written for their approval.

    Yeah, the kind of men that women keep in the friend-zones forever. That’s who Ross Joey and Chandler were.

    My new girlfriend says toxic masculinity is sexy

    LOL my god

    Do you ever turn it off? Like when are you not angry over trivial shit. It's a popular show and it worked for some reason.

    If you have some stupid women who deals with life like it's 1950 good for you ( I doubt you do but whatever). It's just a show calm down. A show that by the way existed prior to your out rage culture. No one used the terms you use in the 90's man or women.

    You are looking at the show like a competition. "Friend zone"? You never consider that friendship was enough for the characters. I don't know who is who on the show. It's called character depth. Women are more than a prize on a women's show.

    I have maybe 4 or 5 I could call if I needed to bury a body. A dozen if I was broke down on the highway at 2am. A a lot more if I needed to move. People seem to like me an want to be a friend but it's pretty easy to weed out the weirdos..

    Good point. I had an uncle that was an alcoholic and he drank continuously. He craved it so much that he couldn’t get by without going to his neighborhood bar multiple times throughout the day and into the evening. He had a bottomless bottle at home also. I based my comment on this situation, incorrectly so.

    I think more women actually find this the case than admit it. Maybe not even to themselves. But it's not so sexy in the long term if it isn't balanced with other sides to a man, including the ability to be sensitive and caring.

    He wish he had a girlfriend. Let alone one who values 'toxic masculinity'. Yes, those are out there. But they go for what they see as the alpha male type (not really a thing in humans but hey, plenty of people think it is), not 6-eyed shaman.

    to be fair, i think friends actually coined (at the very least popularized) the term "friend zone."

    arguable.

    Some I like in here--but in real life---the motherfuckers all died. Assholes had a lotta nerve leaving me alone in this-here mess of a world!
