e-maintain

We’ve always conditioned men to maintain women—this isn’t something new. What’s different is this “maintenance” has become completely electronic for some men, and the men doing the “maintaining” aren’t seeing or even making an effort to see the women they are connecting with. Men are just texting, emailing or using social media to give the impression they are checking in or they care—in order to maintain these women.

For these men, the definition of “maintenance” has shifted from traditional strategies like sending gifts and engaging in the occasional dinner, drinks or movie, to this incredibly convenient and empty form of communication based on text messages, emails, and social media: e-maintaining. And it is a mode of communication that isn’t even based in reality.

Coined by Yashar Ali
Since their last night together, Michael kept in touch with Karen on a regular basis. Every couple of weeks, Karen received a text or email from him. The messages always started out the same way, “What’s up?”

Karen would always fill him in on her life, and Michael would always respond with the same short answer, “That’s cool.”

After one or two text messages, Michael would usually disappear. But a couple of weeks later, he would show up again. Sometimes their conversations would go deeper—ten minutes of texting back and forth. Karen would find hope in those longer texting sessions, thinking that he was finally engaging with her.

A couple times he even texted, “We should have dinner soon.”

But every time Karen agreed to dinner, Michael would tell her about his really busy month at work, delaying the need to schedule a real date. Then, he would never follow up.

This faux-relationship wasn’t going anywhere and Karen was left feeling confused and frustrated about Michael’s intentions.

But these sporadic texts weren’t even about sex. Michael never even proposed any sort of rendezvous. And Karen’s motivation was certainly not friendship. “I have enough friends,” she said.

“He’s not even trying to sleep with me, what’s the point of all this?”

I told her, “Karen you’re being e-maintained”

manabolism

manabolism - noun
manabolic - adjective

"Manabolism" is a term used to describe an activity that facilitates gains in strength, the development of brotherhood, increases in penis or testicle size, and/or swag. The word is derived from the name given to the tissue-building state known as "anabolism," to translate literally to "the building of men."

Legend has it, "manabolism" was first coined by a group of music students at the Florida State University in the early summer of 2011, as they spent the entirety of a Saturday consuming copious amounts of protein and carbohydrates (including, but not limited to bacon, steak, eggs and beer), before and after participating in a series of sports games. This day became known as "MANABOLIC DAY," as it celebrates the building of men through excessive measures of bacon, steak, football, swag, beer, and awesomeness.
"Bro, did you see 300?"
"Yeah bro. That shit was so manabolic."

What word first comes to mind when you hear the phrase, "unlimited bacon?"
"Well, manabolism, of course."
