I'll not trying to get you guys to appreciate their style of humor.

I am stating that I do understand theirs humor, because my circle of close friends and I were absolutely merciless in our efforts to humiliate each other.

Now I agree that it's not a healthy approach to social development.

I still recall the book that changed everything for me..
In a single evening (New Years Eve 20xx) I made strong allies out of a number of former enemies, and the bartender even gave me a bottle of champagne on the house.

My exgirlfriend was responsible for creating this animosity (she was friends with all of them) and she couldn't believe we were all taking shots, and partying like nothing has ever happened.
It was the best.

Obviously, I can't promise the exact same experience for everyone, but I can not say enough positive things about this little book.

The keys to social success are contained therein. I've read it many times.
The key is to actually change one's social approach. It will seem corny, but the difference in social response from everyone is shocking.

Follow the general principles, and people will want to have you around; at which point you can start talking about 9/11 Truth or Coco floo.
You can imagine where it goes from there.

I pull this shit with coworkers, customers, and even complete strangers on a regular basis. Showing them videos on my phone, etc. Good times.

So, I can very much relate to these gentlemen. We were similarly profane and irreverent, although we didn't ever use the n-word.

The n-word is weak. It's below the belt.

Using that particular word creates social scars that others won't forget.

Check out that book. It's a super easy read. If you know of some teenager (or whomever) that is having a difficult time. It's a lifesaver; assuming that they actually read it.
