Car-related things can cost an arm and a leg, too.

That’s why I lease, and do my maintenance outside the leasing company.

I agree with you strongly. Plenty of ppl wont relate but it’s clearly not them you are talking about. Maybe some of us were made to compensate for overpopulation in a way—we were born deficient so nobody would be fool enough to come to us.
Unluckily for some we had relationships and kids anyway and struggle daily with the repurcussions of our failure to live.

The title is a large serving of concentrated balderdash and twaddle. We are among the very best of civilisation. Do not be downcast - life will improve. Look for inspiration in what energises you.

The only balderdash and twaddle is you saying we're in any way BETTER than the general population.

To be fair, he said "among the very best" and not "better than"... it's not the same thing... and rather well said, Tequila.

The friendzone exists.

I can never be called a neckbeard—because I have trouble growing a beard on my neck.

I tell people all it means is that one friend has feelings for another friend, but that friend doesn't return their feelings and just wants to remain friends. Nobody listens. They immediately start crying about sexism and entitlement and how "guys like me" only want women for sex.

If they say you "only want sex" than that means they think relationships are only about sex.

i've been a mod here for over three years and haven't got a cent out of it, i don't think alex can afford to set up and manage a payroll especially considering how unpredictable our schedules are, and it would be difficult to determine how exactly we would be paid. the site just isn't big enough. it's not a huge part of my life, so it's not like i take a big hit from doing something like this without pay.

i met my GF in high school, she was a freshman, i was a senior. two year age difference. i remember some of the first interactions i ever had with her included her telling me i looked like a character from Off (video game) and me putting a kneaded eraser on her head and telling her she was "perfect". don't know what possessed me to do that. i invited her to the prom with a dorky drawing i made and the rest is, as they say, history. i currently work part time (soon to be full time, temporarily) at a tortilla warehouse making $14 an hour. not complaining.

thank you for asking. :)

@Kraftie, i am a college student, but am doing rather well financially, i live with my parents so my only real expenses are car related.

I think half the key to this is being good enough to laugh at ourselves a bit. The 'friendzone' is a lot smaller when we can accept the humour in our own screwups.


agree 500%. i think a lot less people would end up in the 'friendzone' if they were up front with their intentions from the start. often, being there isn't a permanent sentence, it's not unheard of to leave the friendzone. lots of people change what they see in a partner as they get older, it makes sense that you'd consider pursuing a romantic relationship with someone you already have gotten to know.


So your successful and going be even mor so when finished with college.

Damn. I should have got a girlfriend in high school. Getting a girlfriend in my 30s feels like going into the cinema when the movie is halfway over.

i'm.....79% sure dating in HS and dating in your 30s is a completely different experience. they'd want different things in a partner.

The start of the movie and the end of movie are different experiences too. For a complete experience you need to see both.

Why not do both? Kiprobalhato managed to to find the time to find a girlfriend in high school and date her through college I'm sure his grades didn't suffer in high school or college.

Cause me and my family though getting good grades was more important. Studying takes a lot of time. Women would have dated me if I was in college as they’d though I had potential and she’d love me by time she found out I’m doomed to failure and might stayed with me.
