...

me: tom thinks i'm single because all i do is hang out with dudes.

Josh: that doesn't make sense

me: i think he means that me hanging out with dudes makes me unapproachable in social settings.

Josh: prob
a guy would have real balls to enter that ring of fire

me: seriously.
but it's a good vetting process.
if he can get through hanging out with you fools, he can get through dating me. maybe.

Josh: if you have patience
might take u a while to find a man with those kind of balls in this city

me: yeah, i think you're right.
