Reading WBE gives me this unusual feeling of muted, distant grief. Like finding out a high school teacher you liked died. There's nothing quite like it

this is why I like reading WBE. Loads of self glorification, yet the story doesn't show an exceptional Don Juan. It's relatable-ness of a fleeting romance, the sine wave of expectations and sexual energy. When he abandons the date post bill, scorning his tragic philandering flaw, I fucking laughed. Rather be with the boys. It's like wrapping yourself up in your own narrative that everything feels like high stakes, and I guess I was laughing at myself.

The girl actually texting him back and him missing it was the cherry on top.

WBE is the modern embodiment of the 19th century Russian literary trope of the "superfluous man." Truly a Hero of Our Time.

Moral of the story is doing cocaine with your friends will always be cool and fun

You have a normal and fun life, why do you try to paint it as 'I'm so fucked up someone kill me'

I don't think he's at rock bottom yet, there's still room to dig. He's not gonna survive the East coast.

I like how the stories are so shitty that you know they must be true. He's like the retarded guy at the bar who doesn't know that you're supposed to make up interesting shit in your stories and starts telling factual accounts of his gay life

My high school insecurities came back when someone from Substack messaged me that WBE was in some kind of trouble. I was like fuck, I wish I was even half as likeable and popular as this guy. No wonder he bangs so many Southeast Asian chics.
