one of my gen x male friends is in love with women like this - in male-speak how do i explain to him the concept of the manic pixie dream girl - not just the negative side - cos he hasn't heard of it and i'm not gonna start trying without seeking the shorthand male-speak version past my own "best sex ever at first, will also ruin your life somehow". i tried playing him negative xp's *scott pilgrim vs the world ruined a whole generation of women* and he really liked it but he's too old to get it maybe
