Oh no, my miserable life that’s devoid of any connection and anyone altogether otherwise *at least contains a friend.

What the fuck man, is this a real concern average people have that I’m way too fucking alienated to understand

    This feels contrarian for the sake of it. Being in a limbo with someone you have feelings for is understandably uncomfortable for anyone. I honestly think dunking on someone for this just kind of shows emotional immaturity

      I view it more as dunking on the particular type of dweeb that starts an obnoxious screed about how women only want to date assholes and that they don’t ever look at the nice guys in their lives and wonder why their lives suck.

        I do have a friend who does only date assholes, it’s very sad and she says so. They have done things like break her arm, break into her house after they’d broken up and steal all of her knives etc. It’s actually a repeated pattern in her relationships that strikes me as pathological.

        That said, the incel/“nice guy” vibe is defining asshole as “someone who is more confident than me”.
