Not so long ago, my younger brother and I had an interesting conversation.

See, I was telling him about a friend of mine who's been going through some rough times due to a break-up with her boyfriend. Apparently, the guy's been whining and backtalking and generally ruining her to some of their common contacts and, I think, to complete strangers as well.

I asked my brother whether this is something that all guys do. He told me that apparently, at least in his age group, only gamer boyfriends do it. To quote, in his terms:



"I dunno why, but they're the only ones insecure enough to do it. Guys who aren't geeks will gripe and get angry but they're confident enough in themselves to not blame someone else."



Interesting, too, because I thought about it, and hey, the pattern fits.

Just so you know, asshole, yes, I'm talking about you.

Can you get any more gay?

I was almost inclined to like you. I thought that maybe, you could grow up and change.

Sucks to find out that I guess you weren't capable of it.

I make it a habit not to step in like this for friends because I respect them unlike you, but this was the last straw.

Inorite.

And I heard he's gone all passive-aggressive again and complained/whined/angsted about this entry to other people.

I wonder if he's reading this now.

Probably, he is. Imho, guys like him don't know when to stay away and keep their trap shut.

Or to take what's good for them properly.

Apparently, he didn't like the way I was so direct about gamer things. As if HE knew any better, right?

tsk, tsk, tsk. too much bitterness. :( i feel pity for guys like him.

From: [identity profile] izkariote.livejournal.com


I... can't even spare a little pity. He's just entered my "you're dead to me" list.

And to think I honestly tried to get along with him. What a waste.

I suddenly remembered what you said he said about guys backbiting more like girls nowadays. Certainly fits. ~_~
