Greetings Gentlemen,
Hope you are all having a productive weekend. Wanted to share my thoughts regarding my new roommate and the mistakes he is making with his girlfriend. He calls/skyping her every night, tells her every minute detail about his life, tells her where he will be, asks her for permission about when would be a good time to call, and tells her that he loves her. It just pains me to listen to it and remain on the sidelines. I realize that I have no business helping him and he has not asked me for advice on his relationship (although he has asked me for advice on work related topics) yet it pains me to see him make mistakes that I would have made 5 years ago.
Keep remembering Aaron Clarey's opinion that giving advice is pointless unless the other person pays a price for it. However, all of Roosh's guides were written because it pained him to see other men doing game wrong. Same with me, it pains me to see another man doing things wrong and my conscience bothers me to intervene and slap some sense into him.
On one hand I realize that he will only learn by making his own mistakes and learning from the pain he will feel, on the other hand, giving him some red pill advice would at least plant some seeds in his brain and help him to learn faster even if he is not ready to accept them now. What would you do?
