Man, I've become this beacon for depressed women everywhere
Edited on Mon Oct-15-07 01:16 AM by HEyHEY
Not that I'm complaining. I just don't know what to do with them all. They're friends. And, despite what your opinion of me is, for some reason women really open up to me. So, I'm trying to figure out how to brighten the days of like five women right now. All friends, and anything physical is out of the question.
Any ideas on how to help out a friend with some sadness? Usually I bring over chocolate and a movie.

1. If you meet them in bars
you could suggest that they moderate their drinking. But I'm not one who would suggest such a thing seeing as how I drink liberally. I say just go for what they have to offer. You might get laid a lot or you might get a lot of free breakfeastes. Either way I think it's a pretty good deal.

8. Then suggest that they get counseling
But depressded women are attracted to you for a reason. So don't let that obstruct your view so to speak. Don't let their troubles distract you from what you need to see. It's possible that they are looking for an escape from their present situation and you might be the ticket. I knew a woman like that once and I know it wouldn't have worked out well.

3. It's alright on BLTs,
but on burgers? It should be outlawed. That stuff's really bad for ya. Add to that the cheese and you have blocked arteries before you can say "whopper". IMHO.

11. Throw a party. Have a cookout. Hike.
Just spending time with people can help, of courses, but there are many excuses for a good time, and you're in just the city to make it happen.

13. Maybe you should become a counselor. Then you'd get paid for listening to
depressed women.

14. Invite them all to dinner on the same night, introduce them to each other, and sit back and enjoy
your wine.

15. Listen, try to talk sense if they're irrational...
point out the bright side... be supportive.

I have a friend like you, thank goodness. I'd more than welcome the physical stuff, too, though. :P
