I can’t stand hanging out with single men for the most part. And the whole alpha male thing just pisses me off.

It’s a big gossip network on the people you’re familiar with but could care less about, except for a very few. I wrote a long paper on this back in the day how American concept of a “friend” is quite loose and the lifestyle of always moving around and going away to college doesn’t allow you to have many real life long friends, just plenty buddies you can’t rely on.
