Maybe once age and decrepitude have strip-mined by palette, I'll think about swilling a Yoo-Hoo. The risk-taking of a convalescent. But even then, I doubt I'll wrap my wrinkled lips around a Yoo-Hoo jar.

If a guy confines a girl to the friend zone, does that always mean he finds her unattractive?Panama Jackson answered this question on March 23, 2010 12:00 PM
Not at all. You can be the most attractive woman on Earth and be relegated to the friend zone. You see, you might ALSO be batsh*t crazy. There's no easier way to end up in the friend zone then pure insanity.
You see, ugly women end up in the friend zone by default. They don't get put there. They just live there because most men will not attempt to romance or win the love of a busted broad.
And even still, attractive women pretty much have to go way far out there to end up in the friend zone. Men will put up with a lot from attractive women. We'll deal with her strange comments and terrible taste in music. We'll build really big wooden horses and storm beaches until one of our homeboy's gets shot in his why-are-you-famous achilles heel. But there is always a point where you've gone too far. And it varies by man.
For instance, I couldn't deal with a really hot chick that got violent after being drunk. And I mean violent with pool sticks and throwing kettles into pots to make formal introductions.
So inconclusion, read my lips. If you're in the friend zone, it's probably not just because you are unattractive. You might be hot. It's probably because you are insane.
Thank you and good night.
It was written.

Didn't Dave Eggers used to freelance/edit Maxim or some lad mag?

Esquire
― Mr. Que, Tuesday, 23 March 2010 21:40 (fourteen years ago) link
Eggers worked briefly at Esquire, which is a men's magazine but a touch classier than Maxim.
― jam master (jaymc), Tuesday, 23 March 2010 21:41 (fourteen years ago) link
That seems a bit like saying Playboy is a touch classier than Juggs.

Esquire used to (and maybe still does) run fiction and long form essays--don't think Maxim ever has. Esquire has gotten a lot trashier in the past few years, but still.

saw that in the magazine, quit reading when I saw:
Joe sucks off his cigarette.
Aside from general juvenile LOLs I can't believe no one in his MFA program or at Esquire saw that and suggested he look for an alternate phrasing.

doesn't seem like one of the best examples of this scam, but some acquaintances of friends and coworkers have been scammed by similar, if more elegant, schemes and the two things in common are immediate threats to life/livelihood and the implication that hanging up the phone will have immediate consequences
I have some sympathy and would like to point my finger and laugh, but the stigma of the whole thing means a lot of people never report that they were scammed and that's how this shit keeps happening

in short: phoned up and told their identity had been stolen, was being used by miscreants of some description, that their bank wasn't safe, to take out a bunch of money and give it to some bloke who pinky-sweared he was from the cia.

i want to be clear that her status as a scam victim is not what's worthy of derision. it's the framing of "How could I possibly be a clueless rube? I'm a financial advice columnist for the New York Times!"
