Men don’t want to be branded ‘creepy’ and women have constantly stated they want to be left alone. Men listened.

People in this thread are fucking wild... In college, and before I met my wife, I'd just get fucking trashed at house parties and then try to hit on anything with a pulse. Now, I'm not some "lady's man," and I didn't pull them all, but it definitely worked well enough to get me laid when I wasn't dating someone.

Shocker - never maced or reported for sexual assault?

Yeah, but you got invited to parties in the first place.

I just got divorced at 30 after 7 years and I'm probably not going to get involved with a woman again. I'm not interested in having kids because the world is ending so it's essentially a no win situation unless someone can change my mind on this.

Had a crush on one of my friends for years and she wasn't interested even when I got divorced. Till I bought my house and now she wants in on my life.

I'm not saying all women are bad but I just don't see the risk being worth it. My ex wife ruined my life after many years of happiness.

There are a lot of positives being in a relationship but way more negatives. I'm just happier alone.

I'm hard pressed to point to any ten-year period in which some number of Doomers did not insist The World Is Ending.

Like, take your pick of any ten-year span during the Cold War. That butted right up against the OG World Wars, with a Great Depression breather. Before that you had plagues, famines, and economic crashes that shat all over '08 and COVID.

Westoids live in the wealthiest, easiest, most affluent era of human history. Then someone points out "hey, eating burger every day isn't sustainable" and they conclude the world is over.

I imagine you will continue to get disliked and I will as well, but the world isn't over and it's not going to end for a long time. People are always going to claim doom in their current time.

No matter how fucked everything is in the world right now, we are, on average, still significantly better off than almost every other human in all of existence.

Go outside, there are no bugs. We've lost nearly all biodiversity. It's over bud.

I drove from Victoria BC to Fairbanks AK three years ago without washing my windshield.
