I know, right? That's me. I am the person my friends and family tells their problems to IRL and it's a full-time job. I don't have anyone to tell mine to. I'm totally drained.

I tend to think that people exhibit their whackiest, most negative or angry side of their personalities on forums. People use forums like this to vent a lot of the time or to put stuff out there to discuss among people they don't know rather than their family or friends.

I see lots of whiny posts here from guys, but I am not going to assume they're like that in real life. A lot of men have trouble expressing feelings or emotions, so they most likely keep it locked inside while going about their daily lives, while such issues progressively eat away at them. Perhaps if there was less pressure to man up from an early age? I don't know.

I don't know if I've ever felt drained after my friends tell me what's on there mind, but I have my own problems to address and I don't feel comfortable with going to them because how are they going to help my solve my problems if they come to me with there problems? So I keep it inside, and I have to release it somehow. It comes off as bitterness on here at times I guess, but it's really just me being frustrated and it's a way of me releasing some of that pressure.

FWIW, I'm actually in a pretty good mood and I got to entertain my family while we watched football today and I got to grill hot wings and meatballs for snacks, and my team blew up the Jets!

Thats probably because females have a much easier time having sex. So they got it a little bit easier, hence they don't have to come on the forums complaining that they will never have sex.

Women are complaining a lot too, but not about the same things. For instance a lot of women complain about being taken advantage off by sleezy men.

I know for sure it's either probably unlikely I'll bump into one of those posters or if I do, I might not recognize him. However, if I were to know who he is and purposely date him for a couple days, will he act different or the same as he presented himself on forums?
If you meet any of the men here in real life you will probably find that he is either very quiet or rude and obnoxious.

It's not a competition, but being taken advantage of sucks as bad (if not worse) than forced celibacy.

It is easier for people to have the courage to vent about anything on the web under an alias, hence the hostility we see on here

Being used/taken advantage of is a whole lot worse than the feeling that you're being forced to be celibate.

To me, it feels like i'm going to be alone and I'm completely unwanted by women except when they have a man issue.

Being used does damage to a person mentally and it makes them start to think differently, even if someone does something similar and it was meant in the best way possible.

I don't like either, but i don't want to be used and thrown away, that just makes me feel like garbage.
