Preface: I’ve weighed in on “men simping” and why they shouldn’t on this blog in the past, but I never really defined the term as fully as I should have. It’s time to rectify this… I have never written about the female-equivalent to a simp on this blog, but this post rectifies that oversight as […]

BLUF: Men can feel when they’re your second choice — and they’ll never truly trust you when that fact is confirmed. 1.

His & Hers: Happiness Is a Drug, Security Is the Only Cure
