You make your own choices in life, primarily how you choose to react to things that happen to you, and those things can either be allowed to or disallowed from affecting your perspective and future choices. For some people, it is easier to throw up hands and say, "This is the life I have no choice but to be resigned to," because the alternative seems untenable.

That's it. I mean Doll Eyes is just keeping it real, or at least she thinks it is, and it's not our place to tell her she's wrong, but she also does seem to have a pretty jaded, cynical view of the world. Maybe she sees things as they are. I, for one, can say I share many of her sentiments. I know how hard it can be for some people. No I haven't been rejected a lot, but some things have prevented me from functioning normally.
I do, however, agree that a lot of people who have thrown it all in really DO have a chance of finding what they want to. Maybe it's better to forget it all then to keep the flame of hope alive only to be knocked back again and again, I'm prone to thinking negatively too, but since I'm here on earth, might as well make what I can of it.

I didn't just pull my world view out of my as*, I got it from interacting with these people. Personally, I would sign up to be the first one off the planet, good riddens to these self righteous know it alls in the world.
It's nothing more then a wild goose chase for some people and you know it....And that last highlighted part is all I am saying: no point in continuing to hit brick walls for other people's satisfaction and to avoid their 'shaming.' Who gives a sh*t about that.

What do you think of guys who have given up on love who become whoremongers then? They're low lifes, right? Yet if they can't find love, and these women put out, why be so critical of them?

Yeah but you also have also have a bitter personality, so I'd take any account you offered with a grain of salt.
Having an unpleasant personality/demeanor usually colors your perspective from seeing things objectively even when you're basing things from an empirical viewpoint.
Reality ia someone is not going to work hard just to meet a man or woman, im not going to educate myself on how to get a woman id she doesn't want me how I am its not meant to be. Most people gice up and I don't blame them. Meeting someone is natural, its not a business.
Yes, it IS just CD. I don't know ANYone who never had a dating relationship of some kind past 22, and the last virgin in my group was 23 when she lost it. Even the nerdiest of Dungeons and Dragons types found a similarly nerdy D&D type in college.
If there are more virgins and relationship-virgins these days, it's because young people in their teens and early 20s spend too much time on the computer and have zero social skills. If you can't even talk to each other with your voices on the phone and in person, there's no way you're going to be able to pick up on all the nuances of facial expression and emotion in person, never mind know what to do and what is "real" when you actually get naked with each other if your only cues come from 7 years of computer porn.
Choice, my left butt-cheek. Y'all are just clueless and have ridiculously unrealistic and self-centered expectations. Log off and live!

I know many in real life, including myself. And I'm far from among the nerdiest.

And no offense, but I can tell by the number of questions you ask that you are on the computer too much, and I can tell by the types of questions you ask that you don't have good social skills and don't interact with people socially much. You seem to exemplify exactly what I mean.
In fact, I can pick out who the humanity-naive Borg people are on this forum because of the absolutely ridiculous and/or hateful and/or sexist things they say--and by "sexist" I mean both male and female.
It's kind of sad, actually.
