hey hey! - typically a 6’2 symmetrical ex-frat boy in his late 20s / early 30s with a good heart and good intentions but seriously needs to stop hooking up with all of the women in the same social circle even though they all think of him as their shared golden retriever

Was eagerly awaiting discourse surrounding “Yo, what’s good?”

Particularly as someone who graduated from an elite (and elitIST) liberal arts school with a sweet lax team ~15 years ago.

Yo, what’s good [no one who asks ‘yo, what’s good’ would ever use punctuation] - your worst fear is that someone might think you’re gay. You used to say “no homo” but your college girlfriend senior year said she’d break up with you if you said it *one* *more* *time*. You have a sort of droopy eyelid open-mouthed expression that you held onto and cultivated after your third concussion play lax as an attackman. You’re from Wilton, Connecticut but you live now in Murray Hill and say it’s Gramercy. You work in fintech sales and you have one of those “I’m hiring!” filters on your LinkedIn profile to make you look more senior even though you are an individual contributor. You’d be so much more interesting if you were bisexual.
