What should I do if I think I\u2019m being used for sex?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before I go on with any advice, I just want to make it clear that if you think you\u2019re being used for sex then you absolutely are. No question about it. You need to accept that before you take action.<\/p>\n

Now, you have two choices here and it all depends on whether the sex is worth it or not. If it\u2019s not, ghost them and offer no explanation. If it is, then you get to have some fun. Get petty with it. Embrace gaslighting. Send them links to articles about how to get better at sex, ask them if they\u2019d mind showering first before you meet up again, call them the wrong name (especially if it\u2019s the name of someone they\u2019re already jealous of). If you want to take the last step a bit further, text them to say that they left their underwear at yours. When they tell you that they didn\u2019t, say \u201coh sorry it must be [name of person their jealous of].\u201d<\/p>\n

Got my hair done this week and I was absolutely weak for it, but one of the girls in work told me it was disgusting. Any words of advice to help me get over this knock to my confidence?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m so sorry this happened to you, I can\u2019t possibly imagine what it must feel like for someone to tell you that you look disgusting \u2013 not because it\u2019s unimaginably cruel, just because no one in their right mind would ever say that to me. Have you seen me? Even though I can\u2019t relate to the specific insult, I do know something about getting revenge.<\/p>\n

No need for anything too complicated, one simple move should do the trick here. Get yourself a nice electric razor (all the better if it\u2019s already been used for some bush maintenance) and sneak up behind her when she\u2019s on her lunch break and shave as much of her hair off as you can. It’s simple, effective and sticks with the theme of her original insult. Feel free to send on pictures of the results!<\/p>\n

My housemates are loud late night gamerbois but I\u2019m a sleepyboi. Help?<\/strong><\/p>\n

You need to shock them into being quiet. Confront them with things they\u2019ve never faced before. Some things that I can\u2019t imagine \u2018loud late night gamerbois\u2019 have seen before: a real life naked woman, the real backstory of Elon Musk\u2019s wealth, antiperspirant or a QCA that\u2019s above 2.0. Any of those should knock the wind out of them for long enough to give you a chance to fall asleep.<\/p>\n
