Exactly right! Great post!

This is it. I feel like I am inflicting myself on women. That I am a problem for them simply for existing.

And that attitude and thought process is exactly why you would have a hard time dating. Don't think like that, friend.

because the world is ending

Not anytime soon. Stop doomscrolling.

People in this thread are fucking wild

Right?! Fucking Lemmy, man... Reading this posts makes me realize why these guys can't get a date! lol

I've never had an issue getting laid, and I'm not attractive or rich. I am lean and 6ft, but that's not nearly is important to women as Lemmy thinks it is. It's really about just talking to people.

I've never ever had an issue striking up conversations with people. From what I have seen in this thread and others, LOTS of Lemmy users do have issue with talking to people in real life. lol

and women have constantly stated they want to be left alone.

I haven't seen this in the real world at all. lmao

It's a Lemmy problem. The real world isn't even close to what these Lemmy posters are saying. lmao

It totally is! lmao

• we have been cuddled too much

Yep!

I think we’ve also socialized an entire generation to pathologize mental distress instead of teaching them resiliency.

You have my upvoted. This is 100 percent true! Especially here on Lemmy. I have seen people almost brag as they list their mental issues and meds they're taking!

Works this way even if you are not attractive. Source: I have a face like a foot, and have no problem dating.

Actually kinda true! But the downers on Lemmy will never admit that! lol

Society is only getting to be worse.

Not it's not. Just stop doomscrolling on Lemmy all day. Actually things are pretty awesome out here in the real world!

Love your attitude. I won't forgive your crocs. We gotta draw a line somewhere, man...

Well said!

Admittedly, I also am autistic, socially anxious,

Which I think explains a LOT of Lemmy users. Even more so than Reddit users.

Both. It's not that hard to do.

Ha, lol, people have fears and self confidence issues.

Sure. But Lemmy seems to have a LOT more of that than the regular population.

But to just dismiss a myriad of potential issues and personal circumstances as “oh you nerds just need to touch grass and talk to people” is pretty reductive.

Read the entire thread. I stand by what I said.

I thought I was one of the most socially inept people I know, but I can’t relate to what I’m reading here.

Right? Like I said, I'm not skilled any anything, and don't have any looks going for me. And I've never had a problem dating. This thread kinda backs up almost all the stereotypes people have of maladjusted misfits online. lol

Thanks, friend!

Nah, it's not cheaper than just talking to women.
