    Raven is pseudotaken and I don't like men!

    Sorry Elendil, you're doomed to die alone!

    Don't forget me, I am also doomed to that fate

    Nah you're gonna meet a pretty Japanese girl and get married and die together at the age of eighty.

    Christ, I wish, I haven't met any available women here at all

    or, you know, for the past half decade

    FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH I go through five year single periods too, I don't think it's a poor reflection on either of us.

    It's everyone else not even looking at us because we're so glorious they have to cover their eyes, lest they be blinded.

    I'm not claiming to be the only person in the world who goes through multiple years of dry spells (though for reference I'm currently on five years of zero anything, dates, smooches, etc)

    It's just that it is hard not to look at the fact that nobody has found me attractive since I was 19 and not think it might just be a reflection of my inherent self

    I don't really know you, but I know in my case people thought I was attractive and I didn't notice.

    Anyway, this isn't one of those things I can just talk away but seriously, lack of people finding someone attractive always means they're around the wrong people, not that there's something wrong with them.

    Man I am giving the most useless platitudes. They really are true though.

    not to be all... I dunno what it would be to simon, but yeah, this is probably the case

    I have so much to learn.

    Seriously, I am the last person you should be learning from.

    I've had sex with one person. Like thirty or forty times probably. We were long distance so we only met a few times a year for a few days.

    You can do the math if you want.

    Also seriously, the only real thing that I learned is that if you experiment you both might find new things you like. That's the worst advice ever. It's "keep an open mind" with respect to boning.

    I've had sex with 3 or 4 people.

    But I've never been in any kind of real long-term relationship.

    I feel the lack of the latter much more over the former.

    For what it's worth, my only adult relationship was long distance so we really did only spend a total of a few months together over several years.

    So I'm unsure how to classify it. It wasn't like, inferior to most relationships, it was just... a different set of struggles, and I wonder how much the experiences will carry over going forward.

    I know this isn't like a "real problem", but my roommate has the most annoying habit.

    He invites people to stay and checks in with us. That's very nice.

    But...

    Then he's never here.

    Like he asked if his friend could stay over because of apartment renovation and we were like, sure! Then...he went and slept at his girlfriend's?

    Tonight he asked again. I'm setting up my comp and having a drink.

    His friend is here. No idea where my roommate is. Now...I'm supposed to be the host? Fuck this.

    This is good advice if you're in a brief sucky place, but I'm not sure how much it helps with deeper stuff, because it can be hard to even start faking it without help sometimes.

    i think the major difference between internet-me and me-me (and there aren't many, imo) is that in person i am not nearly so crass. i come off that way here because i am around people who are themselves kind of filthy. face to face i only do that in the most relaxed of situations when everyone present is comfortable with that sort of talk. i cringe incredibly hard when young people feel entitled to talk about vulgar shit loud in restaurants or on the bus or whatever.

    I'm sort of in the same boat. There were two guys in high school that were very fixed on having the "boyfriend" label despite the fact that they were the least qualified for it. No way was I ready for a relationship in high school. And I was never "official" with the two guys that I have cared about most since then. "Relationships" are a messy field for definition.

    Honestly right now I'm not that worried about a relationship (although some sex would be nice, don't get me wrong)

    I just want to get a job that's not minimum wage, finally get my associates and be able to start in on a bachelor's, and be able to start going back to the gym all the time.

    Also it'd be nice if I could actually get out and start meeting people again, there's so little to do in my town and I so rarely have transportation I feel like a shut-in some weeks.

    Also I wish I hadn't changed my sig to Magnum PI's naked hairy nipples.

    That was a mistake

    It's real enough that it bothers you.

    And it never hurts to talk to people about stuff that bothers you so long as you don't make it about the person, but keep it about the issue.
