My friend vents about a guy nonstop but ignores my advice—what now?

[Anonymous]

My friend sometimes be bringing this guy up he been approaching her and giving her significant amount of attention one day she okay next she like man he annoying etc one time I told her that a guy has a reason to take time out of his way everyday and talk for hours to you he just have something in his mind she said well even if that’s the case he not getting anything and at the end of the day it’s all my choice at the end anyways so I stopped giving her advice today she was like man he so annoying etc I don’t wanna say anything anymore bc she already said something to me what should I do

Either be honest w her or keep enduring the bs. Women don’t like to be honest w each other in a majority of cases cause they don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings. As a man you learn that women sometimes just don’t want answers to their problems, they just want someone to listen. So like I said just be honest w her. More than likely she won’t take your advice. She just wants someone to complain to.

Here's the thing when a guy talks to a woman and spends time with a woman it's because he likes her

Some people you just can't talk to or discuss anything with; it's like talking to a squirrel. G@G is full of these people.

Don’t waste your time if they won’t listen just let them do what they want. Sucks for them.

[Asker]

Right it’s sad bc I know this guy for more than two years and she only been here 6 months

[Asker]

I know his personally and that he ain’t worth a thing

My aim on GAG is to untangle messy love dramas and save your sanity, babe 😏

Your friend loves the attention, not the solution. Classic low-key lovebombing situation mixed with her enjoying the validation. You’re doing the right thing by backing off. Just listen and say things like “yeah, that sounds annoying” and protect your peace.

You’re her friend, not her therapist or relationship manager.

If I may be frank, you mistake the role of a friend. People don't take a friend's advice. My entire adult life I can only think of one instance in which a friend's advice had a meaningful effect on an important decision I made.

[Asker]

What?

[MrChinaski]

People don't take friends' advice. Almost ever.

[Asker]

So you saying she shouldn’t take my advice wow okay

[MrChinaski]

No. I'm saying she won't take your advice.

[Asker]

She said you have a point

[Asker]

Soo I should advice her to cheat?

[Abbycado]

Imma wait and see where this all end up too
