    I will say something a little controversial here and suggest for your own sake that you don’t look for relationship advice on this site.

    I don't think that's controversial at all

      The reason I said that is probably not the same as the reason why others here might say that.

          In a way, yeah. What I wanted to say is that people here and on similar sites have some unusual notions of interpersonal relationships that have a lot to do with internet social justice culture, but which don't correspond to real life for most people, but I said it in a more politically incorrect way that might have caused people to give me a hard time, so I deleted it. There was a time in this site where people were getting banned literally just for downvoting posts made by trans people, so you never know.

            yeah lol agreed. its weird to view that stuff through a rightwing/leftwing lense and this might sound a little harsh but its always sort of funny when guys talk about their own loneliness and then say "not to sound like a redpill/incel type" when honestly they could probably learn a thing or two from the weird red pill types in terms of getting their shit together/ taking the lead when it comes to dating

             

            lmao i didnt know that part about downvoting posts thats funny. what was the politically incorrect way now i wanna hear it

              I don't remember exactly what I said, but the thing that made me delete it was that I called people soy lol. Wasn't trying to pick a fight or anything, but that's the only word I know that effortlessly describes people like that, and I couldn't think of a way to express what I wanted to say without using that word.

                yea lmfao thats p much it, id use "reddit" but thatd feel kinda weird considering where we are rn. idk how to say it but the redpill types are the last people who need to learn about any of that shit while people on here (or wherever) could afford to sorta sack up now and then. idk if that makes sense- not to say i agree w redpill stuff in general

                 

                edit: the word wormy came to mind but idk if thats too harsh

                    i actually have a theory about this. like recently i see these prompts on twitter about approaching a girl at the grocery store, and all of the well meaning simp types say thats creepy id never do that, but in real life shit like that doesnt matter at all. and when guys ask for advice women will tell them to never approach a woman in public, because they assume they're creeps. so they go on being shy and resentful

                    sorry if this was out of nowhere/insane id like to hear your thoughs

                      If this was someone like me or people I know, I would say I think this strategy is unlikely to work and it would be better if they went somewhere else to do this, preferably either with people they have some social connection to or in an environment where people go to have fun.
