"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

Dilbert "gets it".

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Good find, squirrels !

As an engineer myself, I've always identified with Dilbert, and really "get" the passive/aggressive/sarcastic humor of Scott Adams (Dilbert's creator).

BTW - I'm discovering that humor can be a very effective way to "spread the message" of MRA/DJ to friends and co-workers that would otherwise outright reject the notion that women (for the most part) are NOT the "porcelain princesses" that most of us were taught to believe..
