>tfw your friend is orbiting a girl with multiple red flags (taking a "break", was in an open relationship, is an Instagram attention whore)
>tfw when you try and warn him of the shitstorm he calls you immature
how do i save my friend from fucking his own shit up?

Let him make his own mistakes. You've warned him, now it's just a matter of time before he comes to you crushed. Nothing you can do except watch.
In order to save him, you've got to have sexual intercourse with the girl and let him know that if he goes for it, he's a kekold
More seriously, if you've sat down and had a real conversation with him and he wants to be with her still, there's nothing much you can do. Wait until he gets his heart shattered and be there for him during the healing process.
Let him live his own life and make his own mistakes.
>>17975366
Let him fuck it up. Then punch him afterwards.

what should i do when he comes back upset at the end result of his endeavors. Taunting him over his nearsightedness would serve no purpose. I would rather him grow as a person and have respect for himself.

I've been thinking of it but what would that teach him
>>17975393
i wish he'd just listen
>>17975409
It would teach him not to be a moron and listen to his friends.

It sounds like the fault lies not with your friend, but with her. In my country, by sharia law, an impure woman like this must be stoned.
So gather her and your friend together, and toke a couple of joints.

The taunting is literally just for you. The smug self satisfaction of "I was right, na na na na na".
The real important thing is what you shouldn't do when he comes round looking for help or advice.
And that is that you shouldn't:
>Offer sympathy (he bought it on himself)
>Be a shoulder to cry on.
>Really give him someone to just talk about this shit with.
You do any of that shit, and boom. you're enabling him. "No, you're not the idiot, for doing this dumb thing for so long and ignoring so many warnings - they fucked up, not you. You keep doing what you're doing".
Battered wives get the same treatment as that, and does it ever stop them?
Nah, this guy has to be isolated with no one to talk to about his suffering. It's the only path to lead him to some self-reflection. To think, "WTF did I do so wrong".
Either he'll go into denial and make the same mistakes again (earning another opporunity to learn from them), learn from his mistakes and become a better person OR go insane and reach Elliot Rodgers tier.
Either way, better for him than what he is now.
