Soldiers Don’t Fold—They Adapt
You’re not broken. You’re just fighting a different war. Your BF thinks it’s a drive-by shooting—trigger happy, no aim. You? You’re waiting for the grenade pin to pop. That ain’t dysfunction, that’s two battle plans clashing in the desert. Figure it out or get buried.
Sparks vs. Molotovs
He’s got a lighter. You need a Molotov. The idiot thinks a wink and a “can’t find my pants” is a tactical strike. It’s not. For you, desire’s a slow burn, not a flash fire. You don’t roll up to the front lines with a boner from a sext. You want the whole war—flirting’s your artillery, not the bullet.
Tactics for the Tactical
Flirting’s your weapon. Use it. Don’t book a time for love-making, schedule a siege. He’s the sniper with a hard-on at a glance? Shift him to the trenches. Make him dig—drop cryptic texts, let the banter simmer. Control the tempo. He wants to talk body parts? Redirect to the big picture. Paint the war you want won.
Edging Through the Fog of War
Think Gomez and Morticia—she’s not dropping French to be coy. She’s deploying psychological ops. Make him work for the next line. Tease like you’re dangling a medal of honor. Build a slow push—no sprint to the flag. You choke when the mission’s telegraphed, so keep the fog thick. Let the tension cook. He’s a rookie with a hot trigger finger; you’re the vet who knows when to strike.
Winning the War You’re In
This ain’t a love story. It’s a campaign. You both get out what you bring to the fight. You need romance built like a fortress—no random raids. He needs the quick strike. Find the overlap. You adapt or die. Collaborate, don’t concede. Your victory isn’t his, and vice versa. Figure it out, or pack up and leave the field.
The Dice Game Is a Lie
Society sells you a lie about odds. Life ain’t a poker table—it’s a battlefield. You’re not unlovable, you’re misaligned with their maps. The 2% stat? That’s a lab rat’s report. Humans are wildcards. You’ve got to build your own army. If the cards don’t fall, rebuild the deck.
Fold or Flip the Table
Quitting? That’s a temporary truce, not surrender. You take a breather, regroup, and come back fiercer. Don’t let “no” write your obit. If straight women’re off the table, build new tables—queer circles, niche hell. Filter the trash out. You don’t need a crowd. You need one soul who fits the mission.
Scrounge Your Own Ammo
Cease chasing dates like a hobo for crumbs. Make dates happen—host the bar, join the damn chess club. Opportunities don’t grow on trees. You chop them down. Don’t let “no” freeze you. You got a niche? Mine it. Autistic? Lean into it. Your authenticity’s your armor. Filter out the trash before it clogs your rifle.
The Break Is a Weapon
You step off the firing line not out of defeat, but strategy. Cool your jets, regroup. A soldier who burns out is a corpse with a belt. Use the pause to sharpen your knife. When you charge again, it’s for real. No half-measures. The next time, you’re not just shooting blanks. You’re closing the distance, alpha to alpha.
Claim Your Victory or Your Exit
If you exit, exit like a general—no shame, no guilt. You’ve done the war. You choose peace. If you stay, choose it hard. No more hoping the right woman’s “right around the corner.” You write your odds. You build your war. Now fight like you mean it—no half-witted, half-hearted hell.
