She Used to Be So Cool

Oct 31, 2024 - edited Oct 31, 2024 - permalink

Have any of you ever been friends (even if it's just an online friendship) with a girl, only for her to become more arrogant and imperious and dismissive of you as she started getting further and further into shape? Her ego swelling along with her muscle size?

Or perhaps she was already in magnificent shape and she just....starts becoming more conceited and self-absorbed as the years go by?

"She used to be so down-to-earth, we used to geek out over geeky things together, she was so laidback and approachable and so cool! 'Was' being the operative term here >_< "

Has this ever happened to you? It's happened to me a couple times.

[sarcastic] Es muy divertido, you really should try it yourself sometime, you're gonna love it.

No.

To clarify, I know a lot of fit and muscular people (men and women) through being active in strength sports. I have NEVER had an instance of them becoming more arrogant as they got more fit. They were still the same and still treated me the same.

I have, however, seen some people get. well, weird after the pandemic in regards to shit they would post on their social medias, but that had nothing to do with "ego swelling along with her muscle size."

And if it has happened to you, I'm going to take a wild stab and say that it's either a "you" issue based on your post history, or that they were "online friendships" that weren't really actual friendships: kind of like a stripper that you swear likes you.

Doesn’t sound like a friend to me.

Define "online friendship".

Basically, a friendship that's only online. You don't meet or speak to one another offline. There are different types of online friends, of course. But, in most cases, it stays strictly online.

Is that devil emoji supposed to terrify me?

This. Beat me to it, in a nicer way.

You're right. Former friend is more like it.

No but i don't know any muscular women only fat ones and skinny ones but they tend to only get nicer over time .unless they have some kind of mental issues or get addicted to something .but that just results in them getting weaker and less attractive too and that doesn't happen much . overall these seem really luxury problems to me considering how rare muscular women are

Well, I managed to Facebook Friend a fat chick who is now whipping herself into shape. She grows sexier and more breathtakingly powerful and strong by the day. And her legs become more muscular and Chun-Li-like with every passing moment as well. Unfortunately, with every pound of excess fat she sheds off her frame, another eighty pounds of goddamn humility melts away right along with that motha, as well.

[gritted teeth] What a glorious transformation this is, nothing to be upset about at all!

Dude, there is no such thing as an on-line friend. Even in this flawed social media fueled environment, the human connection still rules.

Yes there is. But, it's not as deep or profound as an offline friendship. This is something I've learned the hard way several times. I was just reminded por las malas just last night, in fact, when a longtime FB friend crumpled me into a ball and threw me away w/o a word. Like I was nothin'.

It's not you - it's her.

Whoa, what the hell is that supposed to mean? Chastitii really does like me. She laughs at all my jokes and sometimes she'll keep dancing, even when the song is over. Once she saves up enough for college tuition, she'll leave that life behind for good and move in with me.

Another brilliant post.....smh

I once had two college housemates (who were dating each other at the time, later married & divorced) who both became born again christians and semi-fanatical vegans in the same month. Sure they both lost a ton of weight since cutting out [a 1000+ alcohol calories a day/weed munchies/food that tastes good] will do that, but there's only so much holier than thou attitude a reasonable person can put up with. They dragged their feet for 3 months paying me back after damaging my parked car because that was in "past" and I was been "un-supportive" of their journey by not letting it go. We were able to cut them out of the lease renewal fortunately. Kind of jarring since she was the "cool" and least dramatic housemate the year before that (before the substance abuse became really obvious). Her boyfriend just seemed along for the ride.

Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar's_number If her Facebook friend count is greater than ~150 and you've never met her in person (or voice chatted multiple times at the minimum), you're not friends or even tertiary acquaintances...

Hmmm…Dunbar’s number, is it? Never heard of it. Intriguing. Especially because it reminds me of Lt. John Dunbar from “Dances with Wolves”.
