Would You Date A Guy That Has No Friends?

My girl went on a date with this guy she recently met while she was at an open air market. She broke down the date to me and to be honest idk what to think of it, but I think i'm seeing smoke. He's a writer and motivational speaker, fairly successful in what he does, has a few published books and writes for the washington post and another publication. Well spoken, college degree, tall, athletic, attractive...just check it all off the list.

So first date, he comes and picks her up. takes her to a cllub that has an open rooftop. Orders some drinks and food and just chats it up. They talked on the phone/via text for like 4 days prior to this date. He's full of flattery and kissed her cheek a few times, she thinks its a little forward but she didn't push him away because she felt like they were vibing or whatever. they're getting along and it starts to get late and he asks if she wants to stay here or go back to her place and chill because he know she has work tomorrow. She said if they go back to her place he cant stay long, bc she'll want to go to bed. He's like okay.

She goes to the bathroom comes back and the music is bumping and shes like she wants to stay there a little longer instead of leaving. He got a little defensive and was like why the change I would like to talk to you more or something. She explains its just because when she gets home shes gonna be in a different environment and her energy will go down and she knows she'll want to go to sleep. He's like well if we can chat for a bit I don't mind.She says okay and back to the crib they go.

Okay so clearly he tries to put the moves on her and while they talk for a bit he starts kissing on her and stuff but she pushes him away.

Anywho so I think off of that he's trying to get physical with her too fast and excusing it by saying they have chemistry and he just goes off of energy.. *insert negro please/kill yoself/drink a gallon of bleach fool face*

But here are the highlights from the conversation:

A) he smokes weed...motivational speaker, allegedly all into Christ and stuff, but you smoke weed? And he wanted her to smoke with him :nono:

B) He said he doesnt have any friends because when he became more and more successful he had to leave his friends behind because they weren't supportive or on his level. :look: (this really bothers me because i can't imagine the type of character one would have that allows them no friends and hes not even able to meet NEW ppl and befriend them)

c) 2-3 weeks out of a relationship, but he realized he wasn't with the girl for the right reasons. She wants to get back with him


I'm saying run, girl run! And outside of all the other stuff he did during the date which I think is typical coonish behavior, I think him saying that he doesn't have any friends at all really speaks to his character or lack thereof.

What do you all think? Is this normal to not have a single friend? He claimed he hangs with his brother-in-law from time to time. But still...
 
lmao

:thud:

thread title alone :lol: :lol: :lol: :rofl:

i mean, i think people think differently about not having any friends depending on the context... if its bc he's super successful and awesome (seeming) well, it's lonely at the top. when its the case that he lives in mom's basement and jerks off to bodybuilder porn well, thats a horse of a different color...
 
but i think even if ur super successful and you dont have the friends you once had, you end up making new friends or acquaintences. Idk this guys sketch factor just went through the roof imo
 
The having no friends thing is the least of his problems. He doesn't seem like a respectful person. His number would be out of my phone, and I wouldn't be taking his calls either.

i mean yeah, this guy in particular just sounded like a creep... how he pressed to get in her house and then the stuff about smoking and etc... in general i would say that NO friends can be a red flag, but i doubt that's this dude's major issue :lol:

not to mention that exceptional child syndrome black men get when they are marginally successful (dont remember which poster it was that said every black man with a degree who wears a suit to work thinks he's the next obama :giggle:)... i would need to double check his credentials myself before i accepted his lonely at the top explanation.
 
he sounds weird. i wouldn't have let him follow me back to my place, but oh well. i wouldn't date a dude who didn't have any friends b/c guys like that are clingy. they want you to fill this void that would require like... 10 ppl to fill and nobody can do that
 
Yea I don't think she's gonna go on another date with him. I just think he's like a borderline psycho or delusional. Like everything about him seemed off. How are you writing Christianity influences self help books but you behave the way you do? And I think him bit having friends days a lot about him. Pretty sure ppl got tired of his bull****. I feel like he's a smooth talker that's used to talking people into do what he wants or a manipulator. But idk I may be watching too many murder mysteries but I wouldn't trust dude at all.
 
He sounds like a Narcissist or a Sociopath. They rarely have close friendships and usually have very publicly upstanding occupations. On the outside they seem like the perfect man but inside they are rotten to the core.

That's exactly what I was trying to say! I just couldn't put my finger on it! Lol. The dichotomy between his actions and what he displays is extremely different. I would have dismissed him for just a liar but his no friends thing really bothered me so I think you're right. He's at least a narcissist.

For me the No Friends part was not the ah-ha moment. It was confirmation of what he is. His behaviour/occupation/treatment of your friend/the story he gave his ex - made it clear to me that was what he was. The No Friends thing just confirmed it....noone can stand to be around him.

This is my ex, he has loads of aquaintances but no real friends. Oh, he has one good friend who seems able to tolerate him and my ex treated him with so much disrespect half the time and talked bad about him behind his back. Not even his own Mother wanted to know about him - which is probably why he is the way he is to be honest.

Some of you guys know how my ex treated me so I won't go into it...just tell your friend to forget about him, but trust me he is going to try and persue her hard.
 
From the title alone, Im gonna have to say No.

Guys like that make you their whole life and wanna tag along to girls night out and ish.
