Watching newcomers try to find their footing in the big leagues always feels a bit brutal to me. It seems like you either adapt to the intensity immediately or you get left in the dust. Do you think the learning curve is getting steeper these days?

He spends his lunch breaks condescendingly nibbling on organic salads or ducking out for fifteen minutes of "wellness relaxation," all while convinced he’s some intellectual visionary—basically a reincarnation of Sartre (or so he tells himself). Now, he claims he wants to introduce us to his crowd—apparently they're all smart, attractive guys who can't stand anything "low-class." Since this guy is driving us absolutely insane, we want to discredit him; once his "sophisticated" friends see he hangs out with such unrefined people, he'll be finished.
So, what's the move? How do we act as obnoxious as possible? What should our vocabulary look like? What's the dress code? Where should we hang out?
(P.S.: Please don't let any small-town girls take offense at the title)

You already know you'll overthink the whole thing—and then the entire plan will fall apart.😂
If you actually go through with this sabotage, you'll just end up coming home falling in love instead.🙏
