Steven Colbert, as always, does a great job striking a balance between comedian and consummate professional when approaching virtually any topic. It is because of him that somebody my own age - a millenial, not yet quite 30 - is watching the Late Show, of all things, something I’d have absolutely guffawed at the idea…

I’m not saying ‘I dismiss your views’. I’m saying ‘I think you are mistaken’.

Women are told to continuously work on themselves by the time they get their training bras.

If you and the handful of people who recommended your post are seeing negative feelings towards men in Frau von Hatchets post, well, I think you’re reading something into it that just isn’t there. She expressed amusement at something that was funny.

Personally I think you should never stop trying! Your prior experiences do sound pretty discouraging, I’ll give you that. Still, I’m convinced at some point you’ll meet someone nice who likes you for you.

I get that you’re pretty down on yourself right now, but I’m still of the opinion that there’s almost always someone out there that’ll find a given person attractive (admittedly if you’re 33 and have felt this way since you were 16, perhaps you have data to back up your point - on the other hand, if you’re so filled…

I get your point, but as I understand it the single greatest predictor of likelihood to commit suicide and/or be depressed is lack of involvement with family and community. So I think my advice is sound in that regard.

Methinks you missed the point of her comment, unsurprisingly.

dude, that was the joke.

Yes, you sure can. (Source: I just kicked cancer’s ass.)

Don’t listen to this troll. It’s probably Tony himself or some other miserable Brad Dourif (INCREDIBLE actors tbf) looking asshole fresh from a jag on the manosphere & MRA chat rooms. What you wrote was very well said & completely fair. The only thing “jaded” here is the stone up JBBW2’s ass. And as a straight 27 year…

I made a comment saying that - Tony boy there only lost sexual capital, whereas middle-aged women lose all social capital. Heck, I am only noticed by panhandlers and this dude who stands in a corner near my home selling burial plots, cause I do look like I will drop dead fairly soon.

I’m only one year younger than Tony, married roughly the same amount of time. I’ve lost quite a bit of weight recently, and feel better than I have in ten years. So here are my words:

Haha! “They promised me on that MRA site that you’d be a juicy 17-year-old in Daisy Dukes licking an ice cream cone! They promised me this would work because I am displaying alpha status and resources! How dare you even exist!”

Hey you!! Get off my thread! Ha ha ha.

Funny thing, I’m in approximately the same boat as Frau von Hatchet, and found her post on-point and amusing. Where is all the hatred of men you claim to see? She’s laughing because dude is finding out what it’s like to be sidelined because of ageing, just like all women do. That’s not the same as hating men, and…

Or (being a 47 year old man myself) just don’t give a shit, and have an actual interest in people, who knows, you might even make friends...

Dear Tony,

Oh I am so, so happy that you wrote this. I read the original article and just laughed and laughed and laughed. Ah, such happy times! As a not unattractive 47 year old woman, not only am I invisible to men, but I’m also invisible to employers, employees, advertisers, clothing designers, TV and movie…

16??! Try 10.
