like i said earlier he got a new gf whom he didnt bother introducing to myself or our friends, and he talked for like 5 minutes with me after not seeing each other in like 2 years figure we would spend a little bit longer talking. this was well before the event started when people were just loitering outside of the hall so it wasnt like he had somewhere else to be. and then once inside it was like he was avoiding my friends and i at every chance. yeah i mean if he was the same guy i would be ok with him but it seems like he has changed as well.
He's not going to miss you if you don't call/hangout/whatever, so why prolong the BS by trying to sustain a friendship? Just don't respond to him and get it over with quicker. It's like ripping off a bandaid.
easier said than done....i am pretty close to his entire family...his mom calls me about once a month to see how i am doing and wants me over for dinner at least once a month. i used to tutor his little sister back in the day and we do hang out once in a while. and i am close with his older brother, (introduced him to his wife). so its not like i can shut him out without having to hear about him again, i am gonna try to see if i can convince his brother to help me try to change this new image of his. maybe being back in so cal will help change his image (i hope so) but the guy is a totally different person from what I used to know. damn douchebags they're a disease that needs to be taken care of
only be a bigger douche than he is. And then if anybody calls you out on it, just tell them "I was just trying to be like XXXX (whatever his name is). What am I doing wrong???"
You mean it's going to hurt like hell when he takes his friend off, leaving dirty, sticky build-up in the shape of a rounded rectangle on his skin? I don't understand... I don't...
What happened to your friend is simple. He read this book: And then began to morph into a PUA. Many a good man has fallen victim to this lifestyle.
Seems pretty close-minded and judgmental of you to base your friendship around how your friend dresses. Why don't you call him and hang out with him to see if you two still share similar interests and are compatible as friends? You can always be the mature and proactive person by making the effort. And you could've just introduced yourself to his girl and found out what her deal was since you seemed so concerned about it. Seriously, you sound kind of douchey in this thread worrying so much about what he is wearing? Thinking of not being friends with him because he changed his style? Trying to "change him back"? If he's your friend, you shouldn't be so concerned with what he wears. It's pretty simple. Get together with him, and if his personality has changed for the worse, then you won't have to worry about putting forth the effort to maintain a friendship, but don't judge him based only on how he looks. That is one of the weakest things a person can do.
What happened to don't judge a book by its cover...Oh well... As long as he's doesn't act like one, why not...apparently some chicks dig that look and you may be able to ride his coat tails...I'm just saying...
Confucius say: The true measure of a D-bag is in how he acts, not how he dresses, although dressing the part is prerequisite.
I would hang out with him. Usually douchebags get hot chicks. So you might get some residual leftovers without having to put in much effort at all.
