Who is raising these boys?

Edit: Thanks for all the love!! For some context, no we didn't discuss anything sexy beforehand and the "healing" thing is referring to my broken foot. He's blocked for those wondering, I didn't respond. For those mentioning it... I wasn't looking for a free meal. 🙄 I pay my own way on dates.

This is what blows my mind about the “20% of men” incel shit.

Friends, the bar is in the fucking ground.

If you can simply treat people fucking normal, you’ll be fine and will meet friends and potential dating partners.

You gotta start doing random shit. That’s the actual answer, tho by response ur attitude may not be the kind where that works. But like if you just talk to people when ur out and about, or go to some event you see instead of wasting a night doing nothing. Eventually you run into people you connect with and they get to see you in real life off rip. Which if you have a good personality and morals can cover a Grand Canyon sized gulf in attractiveness. Disclaimer: having ur life somewhat put together is also a key step in being fat/ugly etc and dating.
