OK. I can live with that. Thanks for clarifying.

Nice of you to point that out. Any other words of wisdom that you can bestow upon us poor everyday people. What else do you see that our blind eyes can’t?

(Don’t dismiss our views because yours are different.)

Nope. And I have some people agreeing with me.
It’s OK if you don’t see it. We do.

It’s the laughing at the beginning and the lack of empathy throughout the entire article.
I am in the same boat as these two people (but older) and I wouldn’t laugh at either.

I hope you get a job that makes you happy and pays you good money.

You mention the Mary Poppins type will hold a friend’s hair back when they barf. Which type is the one doing the barfing - cause that’s me.

Nutty-professor here actually.

Very good! Congratulations. Hearing that always makes me feel happy even if I don’t know the person.

Yep. I am not in the military but when I am talking to a soldier it’s still “Yes, sir”, “No, sir” when I address them. They will always have my deepest respect for their service. (The same goes for police and did for firemen.)

You are probably just being humble.
Being the “go-to” guy at work to get things done is a very nice feeling. People ask your opinion on things. You decide what’s going to happen or not. It makes you feel like you matter and are making a difference. When it’s gone, you miss it - which is what the guy here is writing…

OK.
Can I take your word on that last bit?

33 is really young to be empathetic to what this guy says.
I feel sorry for you. When I was 33, I still still the hotshot in my office.

I know.

Indeed - wtf

Lives down the street from me in a shack next to the church. Nice guy.

No, you aren’t bitter....na....

Then you are in the same boat as this guy and you need answers too - I think you must have been “invisible” for more than just a few years now to have built up such negative feelings toward men. The guy in the message doesn’t show that he knows/cares anything about the state you are in but at least he doesn’t sound…

Sir from a stranger is one thing. From a co-worker it’s different.

I get “Sir” all the time now from co-workers in the 20’s. I guess I have earned it but it’s still very strange.

Yep - 27 you might as well give up.

You don’t have any sisters or teenage daughters - right?
