MedeaLysistrata 09/06/23 6:21:08 AM #29:	coldshoulder02 Unregistered User Location: BC Age: 23 Posts: 1 Rep Power: 0 just found this board and Im fucking obsessed yall. not even just by the misogyny, or the term-paper talk yall use to hide it. no, whats mesmerizing is, no lie, Im one of you. Im 23 and a virgin, never had a gf or even a date, mostly just solo queue League and work at Staples. I stumbled across this place because I have real narrow shoulders, hell Im built like a closed umbrella, and Ive always wondered if other guys feel insecure about it too. I work out sometimes but Im not crazy fit or anything and wish I were bigger. I think racist/sexist jokes are funny but I feel bad about it. so, probably like you. then I come here and WOW. what happened, boys? I cant lie that it isnt nice to find other NS guys, but this place is like staring into a fucked up cursed mirror where the longer you stare at it the uglier you get, but its so fascinating you keep staring. go head and call me white knight / beta / lib or whatever weak shit you got called in gym class in sixth grade. Id rather die a sane virgin than fall for this mess. maybe its more about what happened to me. maybe its bc Im talking to a therapist and figured out some meds that work for me, or bc I have female friends (grew up with four sisters) or havent had my brain bleached by the internet as much. Im not saying Im better than any of yall, if I did Id be the same as yall. so women either reject you or they dont act 100% the way you want them to (the term for that is slavery). bottom line is nobodys hurting or stealing anything from you. yall just hitched your psychosexual angst to your self-worth and its womens fault somehow. however unfair you think it all is, youre MAKING IT WORSE. hope yall logoff and find peace. --- updated 5/22/2023 https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/1568-100-presidents <cite>MedeaLysistrata posted [p:975890996] in What do yo...
