Debating whether I should contact one of my BFFs who has been particularly MORE self-absorbed and selfish lately, and I am pissed off 😔at him.

One of the most intellectually brilliant and super talented person I know — has BOTH an art & engineering degrees plus physically beautiful. And wealthy with VIP parents.

Sometimes doesn’t seem to be aware of the privileges he was born into nor experiences as a white male nor his upper socio-economic status.

Still obsessing over an ex-gf who used to be a Model. Apparently, a girl that bunch of other guys (mostly musicians) who knew her was also obsessed over and wrote songs & poetry, created art about. One Musician is famous. My friend and he had a rivalry thing going on. I also know the famous Musician.

When guys obsess over a girl, it’s almost always cuz she’s pretty. Men never obsess over or create art nor write poems over a girl who’s just plain looking.

FACT: A girl can be the most brilliantly smart or most talented person but PRETTINESS — whether and how pretty she is — is still what men and society care about.

I called out on his bullshit about this fact — that men obsessing over a girl cuz she’s pretty is shallow as fk!

And that I’ve also been told by people ā€œstunning, beautiful, prettyā€ over the years and that it doesn’t impress me. Hardly doubt that she’s more interesting than me.

Women are just as superficial, but it's more about status than looks. I'd wager it's the reason you're worked up about him.

Oh I totally agree with you! But most women are shallow about money as in they want a man with money and status.

Most of my friends are men.

I do NOT like shallow people.

And NO, he and I are PLATONIC friends. I have always kept guy friends and guys I date VERY SEPARATELY! Chance of crossing over is ~5% as in NOT happening!

Btw, I also used to model so it’s NOT about jealousy over some girl.

Rather that he’s been SELF-absorbed and SELFISH. Plus, wallowing in self-pity when he’s had a very privileged life with no major life obstacles or problems!

And very stingy. I have sent him many prezzies, cards and been an excellent friend.

And been his non-paid Therapist.

Reciprocation in friendships are IMPORTANT!

Also, he has done tons of recreational drugs since a teenager.

I’m pretty damn certain it’s middle and upper class white people who do lots of recreational drugs (as vices) and yet, most of them never get arrested!

And the rare time they DO get caught, they don’t face much punishment nor serve years of prison sentence cuz can afford to hire a good lawyer(s)!

That’s called WHITE privilege. Esp white male privilege and WAY MORE privileges if rich!

You're pretty racist. 🤮
