manipulate, mansplain, malewife - a male manipulator playlist

the link to the playlist

Don't Just Be Part of the Problem, Be the Entire Problem!

So, here's the thing. I've done something I think is pretty darn revolutionary (and hilarious). I've curated the ultimate Male Manipulator Playlist. My inspiration, you ask? Well, it's dedicated to the guys who are kinda repelled by women and, um, kinda have a certain... eau de lonely boy. Now, don't get me wrong. I'm all for gender equality, so I promise there will be a girl equivalent to this playlist soon. Fair's fair, right?

Alright, so why a Male Manipulator Playlist? Well, it's simple: guys, you can't just be part of the problem. Oh no, that's too easy. You gotta BE the entire problem! It's all about owning your situation and turning it into something epic. Or, at least, something that makes for a Spotify playlist. I've channeled every ounce of my inner seventeen-year-old boy - which was an experience, let me tell you - to create this masterpiece.

Kicking us off, we have "Dumb Song for Virgins to Cry To". I mean, the title itself is a whole mood, right? It's like the perfect theme for those late-night, self-pity sessions. Every manipulator needs his anthem, after all.

Next up is a dash of Pinkerton. Ah, the holy grail of misunderstood boys. It’s a classic, and I just had to include it. The notes hit hard and the lyrics? Well, they’re something else.

Then, we're blending in the Scott Pilgrim soundtrack. It's like the ultimate nice-guy cocktail. A little bitter, a little sweet, and leaves you with a headache if you consume too much.

We can't forget The Smiths. It's the kind of stuff that makes you want to scribble angsty poetry on the back of your Math homework. With lyrics like "If a double-decker bus crashes into us, to die by your side is such a heavenly way to die", it's no wonder Morrissey is the poster boy for men who think they're deep..

TV Girl slides in next. They have the kind of sound that's like, "Yeah, I'm a little messed up, but in a cute, lovable way", you know?

My Bloody Valentine - If listening to 'Loveless' doesn't make you want to pen a melancholic poem about the futility of love, are you even a 'male manipulator'?

"Your New Boyfriend" is the cherry on top. It's like a triumphant cry of the overlooked 'nice guy'. You can practically hear the fedora tipping through the speakers.

Now, we're not stopping at indie and alternative. Nope, this journey ends with a twist. We're rounding this bad boy off with some electric tunes from Crystal Castles and some other stuff. It adds that unexpected zing, you know?

So there you have it, the ultimate male manipulator playlist. Use it wisely, my friends. And remember, I’m not encouraging anyone to be a manipulator. This is purely for entertainment and perhaps, a little bit of self-awareness. So, keep it real, keep it fun, and most importantly, keep it human.
