I think more men turn to the internet for help than women.

So I'm not surprised that a lot of guys come here to vent or seek advice. They probably have no one else to talk to and society still expects you to "man up" rather than show any form of weakness.

Great post man, very true

desperation in a man.

Please do yourself a favor and get out and have some fun. Screw the relationship thing dude.

Just get out and start meeting people. And find you some friends that have the balls to tell you the

truth dude.

Oh boy another "make friends and meet people" post. How many times do I have to post that I go out all the time, make friends everywhere I go and have a very active social life?

That's so true, when I went to get mine there were about 40 women in the court waiting room and 5 guys.

As a woman, this is what you have to do to have tons of options


- Exercise a few times a week
- Take care of yourself
- Dress decent
- Don't act like a complete retard


That's all it takes


As a man, you can be good looking, rich, a great guy, in great shape and still be forever alone if you're a little bit shy or don't have friends who know a bunch of single girls. Women don't go on the internet for help because they don't need it

You have a serious issue with rejection. Guys that have healthy social lives don't

normally say the things you have said. Like I said earlier.

Desperation will get you absolutely NOWHERE.

Neither will COMPLAINING. Get out there and make it happen

dude. If they don't want you then SCREW THEM. Keep it moving.

If I were your friend and we were beside each other I would SMACK THE **** OUT OF YOU.

Have some confidence in yourself dude. You are better than this.

In theory, but what you're saying is pretty generic. If you want to be with a certain kind of person then you are going to have to be that certain kind of person yourself to be in proximity to begin with.

Right, most women talk to their friends about feelings, and what things are disturbing them in life.

Most guys find hard to express their feeling in real life, They hardly would talk about it in real life with another dude, not even close. In this point friendship between males is usually more superficial, about laughing, drinking and having fun, but they avoid showing weakness and of course wouldnt even consider talk about feelings in the ways women do. The easier way to have a release of those frustrations is turn on the computer and start threads...
