Of course they are. Hence why you have so many virgins and men on reddit, or message boards talking about how hard the dating market, or having a social life is

Because as you get older, you realize most people don't "care" about you other than your close ones. P

CE isn't a reliable place. Someone made a poll with the title "Can you still be friend with someone you love?" With the majority of the poll saying "No" and people replying it's impossible to be friends with someone they have a crush on or loved and if it does happen it's rare. There's a good chance CE just has a lot of socially awkward people that never actually talked to people in real life is all.

Historically, women will tend to have people behind her no matter her looks. Also men are more difficult when it comes to reach people

Making friends is easy. You just have to do things other than sit at home.

Making friends isn't easy at all for most men. For one, as you get older as an adult, you tend to have other priorities. Then, it also comes down to people prioritizing certain people over you. In friendships, there are tiers. Meaning, very rarely are people going to go out of their way to help you if shit hits the fan. And often times, you can be betrayed.

Difference between an acquaintance and a friend. People often think that they have "tons of friends", but it's more of the quality of said person. Which is rare. And it's also under the assumption that you think everyone is a good person

Nah, youre just a pessimistic person.

Yes, I have acquaintances and friends. Your talk of betrayal and tiers probably stems from you thinking of somebody as a very close friend and them not feeling the same way. Unless theyve deliberately misled you, thats on them.

No, not everybody is a good person, but you get to choose who you want to be friends with.

Although the media does their best to hide it, many suspect that women are slowly disappearing from the planet at large. This would also explain all the discrepancies in discussions of online dating. Not sure what to think of the theory -- where could they be going? And why are so many people vested in hiding this from the public?

Thats like me saying that lemons are a fruit and you saying, I thought you said that lemons are a fruit. Pineapples arent lemons and theyre a fruit.

Its not a refutation at all.

No, realistic and red pilled. As a guy, I'm aware that lots of people will try to use me for their own gain or do things that benefit them. Instead of being in denial, I accept it and realize a lot of people aren't good.

Reliability. Honor. Integrity. These traits are rare for people to have. People prioritisize their own lives over other peoples. Aside from close friends/family. And you can choose who you want to be friends with, but it's about choosing someone who is actually good. Which isn't easy

Pick one. You cant be both.

Youve made it abundantly clear why you struggle to make friends with good people. Most good people dont want to spend their time with people spouting red pill rhetoric.

People are good at holding their emotions or putting up a front. You won't even know if you picked a "quality" friend until it's too late. It's when you're in the dumps or shit hits the fan, that you truly know whose there for you. And thats not an overly common thing

Sure it is. Everybody goes through shit.

Your attitude is a barrier to happiness and is the reason you struggle to make friends. If you behave like a dick, people will treat you like one.

While I sincerely hope that you realise how harmful your outlook is one day, Im not going to spend my day trying to convert you.

You should stop the moment someone says they're red pilled. There's no helping them.

People come and go in life. Some people only see you as a cool person to talk to, but will never help you out or come to your aid if things go south. It's not about being a dick. It's just realizing that you can make all the effort to try to know and get to know someone, and then they spit on your face figuratively and you come with the realization that you had the wrong idea about them.

For example: I'll probably never have any irl friends. And thats fine.

I heard a study saying men are less likely to make new friends as adults due to social norms regarding intimacy between two men versus two women.

Men tend to become attracted to women and form self attachments. If a woman isn't into the guy and friendzones him, guys will try to stay there with the intent of being there in the long haul.

Men don't have the luxury of good support systems. Men who talk about their problems get insulted, criticized, or meant to feel like they aren't manly.

Even crying as a guy is looked down upon. Some of the biggest reasons why Men struggle is because they have no one to vent their problems to or talk to, without paying them(therapist) or going on a forum

You dont have anybody to talk to because you dont have any friends.

For most people, thats the step before paying a therapist.

Most people don't care about men's problems, which is why a lot of men keep to them selves/don't express themselves.

As far as friends, it'd depend on the right and quality friend. The assumption that people should instantly put their trust in someone else who they have a limited experience with is a very dangerous one. Like how going to some sort of club or event means that you're going to have deep connections in 30 days. Doesn't happen like that

No, its the equivalent of telling a guy who is divorced to shut the fuck up when hes trying to tell me that marriage cant possibly work just because he failed at it.

A guy who was in a decently long relationship and got divorced has a hell of a lot more advice and input on the pros/cons/what you have to essentially deal with.

You advocate for automatically trusting and putting your faith in other people. That's a bad idea and isn't realistic unless someone deserves it.

No, I dont. At no point have I said that.

Also, Ive spent almost all of my adult life in relationships, so yes, I do feel that somebody who cant even maintain friendships is unqualified to give out advice.

You choose to be a sad, isolated man. Plenty of other people are happy, so you shouldnt act like your bleak outlook is based on the reality of how other people work. Its based on how you choose to be.

I think that the recent trend is that women are okay not being in a relationship.

As one person said, "For single men, the competition is not the other men in the dating pool. The competition is women who are perfectly okay not dating."

"maintain friendships?" Isn't it funny how you think that you have some authority over how friendships are maintained. As if friendships are the sole responsibility of someone, but rather both parties put in an effort.

As far as isolated. Here is the thing..I can still talk to people online, have decent convo's with them. I also still have my family, and pets. I prioritize them. People who are close. You proved my point. You would judge someone maliciously for someone who lives life different from you. And the worst part is..a lot of people think similarly to you. Someone doesn't have a ton of IRL friends? They are considered "bad" or evil.

And you want me to make an effort to talk to this type of person? Honestly, I'd rather be alone in a room than talk to people who would have no problem betraying or using me for their own gain lol

I clearly am more able to maintain friendships than you, yes.

At no point did I say that a friendship is the sole responsibility of one person. But this is a fairly consistent behaviour for you. You keep arguing against shut nobody has actually said.

Im judging you maliciously. Im certainly not claiming youre evil. I just think you dont know what youre talking about and your attitude is harmful, but the person it harms is you.

The arrogance of your position is astounding. No, it cant possibly be that you could benefit from a change in perspective. Its obviously the entirety of the rest of the human race who have it wrong.
