Been a while. Shoutout to all the brehs keeping this thread alive.
Might sound weird but what i want to say is, simping is a form of arrogance. Women's whole game is to make you believe that they are or that you and her together is special. What you need to realize is that there are no exceptions to the game.
None. Once you start thinking your situation is special and therefore the rules of the game don't apply to it, that's the beginning of the end for you and you will only have yourself to blame. It doesn't matter if it's a friend you are crushing on, a girl you have been fukking for a while, 2 year relationship, married for 20 years,etc. Doesn't matter how close you are because she opened up to you and you have your corny inside jokes with her or whatever.
There are no exceptions to the game.
The only reason you would think the rules don't apply to you and that you can start simping is because you are suddenly thinking you two are better than the game. That the love or affinity you share is above the game. It's a form of arrogance and you will learn eventually. Humble yourself and never put your affection for a woman above the game
