Everyone in the comment section keeps acting like the dude recording in the video was being a creep just for saying “I like your hair” to the chick with the Afro. You literally can’t compliment women anymore without being seen as a weirdo. Maybe it’s just me but the guy seemed pretty normal and I didn’t even interpret his attempts at interacting with her as necessarily having romantic intentions.
Yesterday I was in conversation with a couple colleagues of mine at work, one a guy the other a girl. We were just casually talking and I couldn’t help but notice that the conversation being had felt more like a conversation between the two of them while I just lingered on the periphery of the discussion. At one point the girl (who I’m kind of into) pointed out an item and said to the other guy: “would you buy me this for my birthday?”, to which I replied “I could get it for you”, but she didn’t respond. This happened pretty frequently where we’d all be talking and whatever I’d have to say about anything wouldn’t really be acknowledged all that much and the bulk of the conversation was mainly an exchange between the two of them. It’s like you can just tell that she was more interested in what he had to say. My presence there just felt awkward. It reminded me why I tend to keep to myself because whenever I do try to “put myself out there” I tend to get somewhat excluded from the discussion, I guess because whatever I have to say is never interesting nor relevant from other people’s perspective or because I just come off as weird. It’s like I’m not even able to have normal conversations with people for some reason. It’s so over.
Also, the brutal part is that the dude already has a girlfriend.
People often label all the men who get nothing as "angry," for example. No, having paid attention to a wide range of their social media posts, I can tell you they're more depressed than anything. Personally, I seriously don't care for men who are legitimately angry or frustrated about getting nothing, but I can definitely sympathize with the ones who are depressed about that.
I really don't know what to say about this. I'm stumped. I would try to write a post to encourage guys going through the experience described, but based on my previous attempts, that probably wouldn't go over well. I won't even link those posts below. They'll most likely miss, because I can't truly relate. I don't think I have any good words for men who are struggling with absolutely nothing – possibly for their entire adulthood. I can't teach or explain or reason them through to feeling better about their lives.
And realistically, as far as I can tell from searching through all kinds of research about the dating market, I can't even find solid evidence of anything getting better in the dating market, to give guys any positive outlook for their future.
Keep on truckin.
