But when you’re in a breakup, have yet to find your rebound girl, the Eeyore playlist is not going to make mending your broken heart any easier and certainly not go any faster.

So are you wallowing because you think she’ll realise you understand the magnitude of your fuckup and suddenly come back? Somehow lugubrious affect has become sexy?

For any woman to be drawn to you, you need to be okay. What do you have to offer? Certainly you have amazing tattoos, are a masterful wordsmith, … but what are women looking for? A good listener, a man who takes responsibility, someone who can offer a shoulder to cry on, NOT NEEDY, and always always an abundance of humour.

You are a fabulous guy, one any woman should be lucky to land, but not until you do the work and climb out of this hole. Otherwise you’re only dragging them down with you.

I’m not saying you’ve got to sentence yourself to a playlist of Barry Mannilow, John Denver, and The Partridge Family, but seriously, surely you can find even a short playlist that is … uplifting? Something to raise the spirits?

Cause that playlist has gotta be what Eeyore has going in his Ipod.

I like my sad with a beat without overcompensation. Little too poppy but, since you started it:
