Lmao! Same. I was like, what is this dude’s secret?

This is the guy calling women sluts because they reject him until finally at 35 he paused, looked in the mirror and said “what am I doing wrong”. Now the guys a well adjusted 29 year old...

Except he doesn’t know what he likes, not really.

Parker Posey!

The list would probably be fine if he talked with some humility about why women would be interested in him. People are making fun of him because he doesn’t appear to meet the qualifications he wants to see in women, and seems unaware of that.

To put it simply, I feel like there’s no point because every indication seems to point towards the world being screwed. From Trump getting elected in 2016 and leading an effort to turn the US into an authoritarian state to recent reports about climate change, everything seems to point towards disaster in my…

I think LW1 needs a good dose of Captain Awkward’s Geek Social Fallacies. They didn’t originate from her, but she’s added quite a few to the original list (more in her archive, not just the post linked there), and they’re all really good reminders. The fact of the matter is, compromise and differences are inherent to…

look at thyself

AWWI isn’t ready for that. Or at least, he’s not ready for dating. He needs to ease into social situations, in general.

Excellent points! A note on no. 1: LW 1, if you want to look at it analytically through the lens of D&D, there are two main ways to get your stats: roll ‘em or use the point-buy system. If you’re rolling, the odds of building a character with high scores in every stat is infinitesimally small. If you do point-buy,…

Ok, so as a Heathen myself (and a couple other things because *que up backstory*), although I understand Dr. Nerdlove’s advice there is one big thing he is missing as someone not in the community.

Exactly. I had a friend from childhood that was the same way. He kept pining away for all these supermodel girls and couldn’t figure out why he was single while trashing the women that rejected him. Let me paint a picture for you. He’s sexist, homophobic, about 5'5", fat, had a weird mullet up top and hair down to his…

Dear 25 year old loser that can’t handle a job or love because they don’t like the results of an election, man the fuck up. I don’t like Trump either, but what indicates he’s going to be the harbinger of the apocalypse? He might be the first US president in my lifetime to draw us out of wars instead of expanding them…

You know, it’d be cool if we could temper the snap judgments some.

LW3 uses the term “girl” (not “girls”) once in the whole letter, in a reference to a single person. It also happens to fit with the kind of casual references you could imagine someone frustrated with competing with an ex might let slip or that people us…

I bet there are women out there who meet his requirements. But I’m also 100% sure that they could date men much less condescending than this guy.

The other point for LW2, it’s human nature to always assume you’re in the worst possible time. Things always look better in the rear view mirror. That same mirror tends to block out stuff like Jim Crow, the actual Holocaust, trench warfare, Spanish Flu, Black Death, ect., ect., ect.

The fact that you felt pity for him—and tried to think of reasons why they come off the way they do—means you are infinitely more mature and kind-hearted than I could ever hope to be.

May LW1 surround himself with people like you, that he might learn to be a decent person, and not a condescending twit asking for a…

re: #2 i think there are basically 4 kinds of people going through our hellscape of a world right now.

I really feel for In Memoriam and have a similar story.

My high school sweetheart of 6 years took her own life after a long struggle with depression. I came home from work a little over 4 years ago and my entire world was torn apart when I found her body.

I felt very lost for a while and desperately needed some sign…

I love the show, but the Vampire World Council? It’s been done.
