In this episode, William and I go on a rant worthy of 4Chan about that old trope: “The Nice Guy.” We discuss the phenomenon of self-friend-zoning, the Trophy Concept, how women are not achievements to be won through patience alone, and how, amazingly, people like being liked. We discuss why nerd-raging about how girls are shallow might be a waste of time…time that could better be spent being brave and letting her know you actually like her with words.

We also chat about a recent creepy convention story, why bullwhips are good for traversing crevasses, and how even small costumes can’t make a picture of your dick appropriate for showing during an introductory conversation.
