The Subtle Fuck Boy.

In life you will come across (no pun intended, for those with filthy minds,) an assortment of different people. People who treat you well and people who don't.

I'm here to talk about a type of person (in this particular case, a male but this can apply to both genders,) who I feel is overlooked in pop culture.


And he is the Subtle Fuck boy.

Not your average Joe fuck boy, no no no, this is the type of guy you don't see coming until you're neck deep in fuckery. They'll give you cause to believe that they are 'nothing like a fuck boy' that they are sweet, dependable and consistent, or at least for the first few months. Then BAM, it's randomly disappearing for weeks at a time with no explanation before casually showing back up like they've done nothing wrong. It's fucking with your head to make you think you've committed some egregious sin against them to trigger their radio silence. It's sleepless nights wondering if something serious has happened to them or if they're going through something (clue, they're not)

You see, the subtle fuck boy doesn't really care about any other than himself, while outwardly he pretends to be the thoughtful, charmer, internally he is a constant let down, a flake if you will.

The first couple of times he lets you down, you might shrug it off, after all he's usually so consistent right? But this would be your first mistake, he takes this as an allowance, a free pass to not only do it again but to do it sporadically over the whole course of the relationship (if you can even call it that.)

The subtle fuck boy may seem from these examples to be a regular fuck boy however, he is much more sly and cunning, he makes sure his victims are blindsided when he switches up on them.

The best thing to do is to completely cut him off, make it clear your time is valuable and you won't be fucked with by a coward like him. But don't assume that's the last you'll see of him, subtle fuck boys have a 'nice guy' complex that makes it unbearable for them to be perceived as the 'bad guy' he'll lead you on just to make himself feel like the bigger person but don't be fooled, there is no heroism behind his actions, only ego.

I'm learning that while you'll never be able to avoid people trying to waste your time and break your heart, you can learn from it each time and handle it in away that minimises the damage done to you.


Be kind to each other and don't be an arsehole.


Love,

The Girl in Blue
