    It's because nobody gives a F about you.

    My spouse told me about a number of times people stopped to help her when she had a flat or her car broke down. Also, one time when she bought something at an autoparts store and they helpfully installed it for her.

    I had someone pull over to help one time,out of the dozens I've been broken down by the side of the road, and that one time, it was a cop. The only reason they did was bc it was 3AM and they probably wondered what I was getting up to. Other than that, never had anyone stop to help.

    When I went to the store she'd recommended, the guy man-shamed me when I asked for help installing a part.

    Generally speaking, men don't get much mental, physical or financial help.

    I'm not saying women have it great (they don't), but there's a lot more to it than "guise suq!".

      Yeah the true source of the loneliness is the fact we put a bunch of forest pack monkeys into apartments but I'm not sure how telling me stories about men being losers except while horny is making that point

      You should move to the upper Midwest, our whole thing is treating everyone the way traditional men treated women. Other dudes install shit for me all the time, and we all hold the door open for each other. Or maybe I'm just good looking and they're a bit bi, idk
