Ever have one of those “How the fuck am I still single, when this is my competition?!” moments?

Literally every time I read something like this

But then I remember I barely leave my house due to Covid, don’t really like meeting people or going out anyway, and the last relationship I was in we broke up because she held extremely bourgeois values and was an anticommunist. So sometimes the women are just as reactionary as the men, and also I do myself no favors being a crank shut in. So it actually makes complete sense why I’m single.

Almost every goddamn day of my life, but I know the answer is that I don’t put myself out there or make an effort to meet new people/potential love interests. I think I would make a good partner for someone, it’s just a matter of actually seeking people out. Just sucks that guys are expected to make the first move most of the time and I’m terrible at gauging someone’s interest in me.

same. but there is nowhere to “put myself out there” anyways, besides dating apps which don’t work

Personally I think my problem is not replying to texts reliably, women seem to hate that

That’s just when they respond to my first message which is very rarely because I also suck at the opening message, I have no idea what to say most of the time

always a numbers game as much as I wish it weren’t and it doesn’t help that I’m still paranoid about covid (even though I may have just gotten it again without having gone on a single date)

It sure is very nice to be told that the bar is on the floor, when you still haven’t managed to clear it.

Just waiting for that special lady who will see me in my stained hoodie (it has a hole and stretched out sleeve cuffs) and walk all the way to the edge of the room to greet me. She will have just come away from arguing with her slightly-less-politically coherent friends and will see that I am reading a book.

“I’m sorry, is that Grapes of Wrath?” she will ask me.

I will say that yes, it is, but I’m only reading it as a change of pace from my usual material. When she asks me what my usual is, I will lean in, and say softly, “animal facts.”

Some older women one if them a midwife where really surprised about me saying that I really miss my kid and wish I was back home since I started going back to uni. Like “wow modern men really are something huh? Good for you!”. Made me real sad for them because they have kids if their own.

Felt really weird to get lauded because I care about my own kid.

I have the opposite experience - the older women in my family love and dote on my partner because of how sweet he is! It’s adorable. Also a little sad because I know a lot of them weren’t treated well by their (late or ex, fortunately) husbands.

Oh there’s so much bad stuff about my family too, they’re not worth being jealous over, lol. I’m just really happy that my partner is giving these traumatized old ladies some renewed faith in humanity

I keep hearing about dudes just casually watching porn in non-masturbatory contexts the way I scroll through funny animal videos on Youtube and I just don’t get it

i look at porn and may even edge a bit but not orgasm so as to increase libido for actual sex with my partner later. that said erotica and artwork would work great too, im sure

Only guy I know that does this is also friends with porn directors and does communal porn watch parties (and other sex party stuff). So probably not the average example.

But I can think of few things less arousing than watching porn in a group.

Edit: I tell a lie, I also had a colleague of mine show a titty model gif and saying ‘look at this cool thing’. He is also 20 years my senior. Just kind of confused by that more than anything, how the fuck are you supposed to react?

Imagining a bunch of hipster auteur types sipping wine and rubbing their chins, furiously writing in their little notebooks, while some Brazzers is playing in front of them all like: “ah yes the artistic choice of spreading the cumshot all across her back with a vibrator is a real insight into the perils of digital nomadism in the age of late capitalism”

I also had a colleague of mine show a titty model gif and saying ‘look at this cool thing’. He is also 20 years my senior. Just kind of confused by that more than anything, how the fuck are you supposed to react?

“Impressive, very nice, now lets see Paul Allen’s titty model gif”

I know a guy who literally doesn’t masturbate because it “ruins sex” but also is way into porn and watches it frequently. I don’t get it either. I utilize porn as a tool but I can’t imagine just watching it for watching’s sake.

I don’t think anyone is aloof enough to watch porn during delivery. Watching it while everyone is waiting and the doctors don’t want you interfering with their procedure? Probably if you’re that much of a cumbrain. The more realistic scenario I can see is the husband just standing there awkwardly in the back because he doesn’t want to be ‘disgusted’ by the sight
