Matthew Hussey defines an MPI: a man who shows intense interest, then disappears, then texts randomly to keep you emotionally hooked. He argues you should cut him off ruthlessly because he blocks you from finding someone who actually shows up.
Let's talk about the guy who's wasting your life. This is the man who comes in strong, shows lots of interest, and then disappears. Except he doesn't quite disappear. He still pops up now and again with an intermittent text at random intervals to make sure that you cannot forget him. It's the minimum possible investment he can give to keep you hanging on. I call this the mpi. If you have an MPI guy in your life, it is time to get ruthless and cut that guy off. Because he is stopping you from meeting the world of guys who actually have potential. Now, if you can't get honest with yourself and let go of that MPI guy right now, I'm going to present a scenario that shows you just how absurd your exchanges together really are. Enjoy. Hi, Blaine. Topher, mpi. Do you remember me?
Yeah, Blaine. We've been texting on and off for three months. We were supposed to get a drink last week. What happened?
Please, ma' am, I'll be the one asking the questions. Now, would it be safe to assume you've been thinking of me?
Well, now I am.
Okay, good, good.
So, are you asking me out?
Just a routine MPI man. Nothing to be too excited about. Okay, that about does it for this week. Thank you for your. Hello, ma' am. Mpi. Monica. Mpi. Open up. Monica. I miss you. I want to show you something.
