b130 (1.9-1.2025): they know just what they do

why they keep you down
by friends & lovers
 
forgive them for their tendency to drag you down the flue
forgive them (don’t forget): they know just what they do*

·       those with limited options want more options (less competition).

·       as your SMV lowers, so does their competition.
  o   your male friends want you to have fewer options, and
  o   your female interests want you to have fewer options.

as they have less competition, their optionality increases!

the people who (really) want you to live your best life are already secure in theirs: their optionality will not be threatened by your increasing SMV.

eat right.

hit the gym.

limit alcohol.

limit sitting.
