    That’s probably true for some men, and people tend to assume that other people think like they do. So I would guess the brother is telling on himself a bit there. But also, what kind of relationship is that? Who would want to live like that? Good relationships are built on trust and communication. If you need to play games to keep someone’s eye from wandering, that’s not a relationship at all.

      Interestingly enough no one… I think being “in demand” has gotten to his head which lead to developing this playing hard to get mentality. He’s never lacked options.

        Ah, yeah I’ve never been “in demand”, unless you count the straight girls that needed the “gay best friend”.

        He’s basically got “young and hot” syndrome. Middle age is going to be a bitch…

    The cornerstone of any good relationship is honesty. Without that, everything else is sitting on a bad foundation.

    Your little bro is in for a bad time but some people just have to learn the hard way.

    younger brother

    Boyfriend

    Some really misandrist shit

    What. Is he okay? Like, what the fuck? Is he sure he isn’t actually a transbian, lmao? Not all guys are like that, most people want stability and get anxious if you tug on your leash like that. Furthermore, you’re gonna eventually wear out your man if you’re not careful.

    …I kinda totally get the thrill of being someone’s prey tho. There may or may not be VRChat groups for that kinda thing.

    Has he hung around too many trad girlfriends or something? This is the type of shit I constantly heard around me from women who saw men a walking fleshwallet with a dick, driven by the desire to hunt, fuck, and conquer anything with a hole. Some backwards traditionalist thinking.

    Internalized misandry is a helluva drug. This is some fucboi shit. Works really well for old closeted sugar daddies. Or other fucbois. Hopefully his boyfriend is one of those and not looking for genuine long lasting connection.

    We all gotta learn. Hopefully they get to learn with the least amount of harm.

    Hopefully your younger brother learns that being a red flag guy isn’t a good thing; It’s going to be a hard lesson, but one that is absolutely important. Trust, honestly, healthy boundaries, and respect are the cornerstones for successful relationships. You can only be an in-demand guy for so long before this type of relationship behavior will push more people away than it attracts. I’m glad that you’re trying to nudge him in the right direction, though.
