    are you fucking illiterate or is this just more evidence of the lead paint?

    already repeated myself for UA... Lepine was not making it with the girls.

    Which in MTL in the 80s was almost a challenge in itself.

    yup
    Al was triggered by my having retroactively applied the term to a guy who (in his own words, more or less) couldn't get laid in a relatively sex positive city while blaming women and progressive politics for his inadequacies, and then drawing a line to how easily he was able to acquire a mini 14.

    It's possibly significant that this 33 year old incident still shocks our country... I mean, it's one of maybe a dozen multiple murders we've had at a school in my lifetime. But I get it... in America, twelve mass school shootings is a slow month.

    Oh man...

    The end of that same month we filled up a 24' truck with bands and entourage for a gig at Foufoune. About 30 or so of us riding a Ryder.

    Skipping past about 24 hours of drinking free beer, I wound up railing a bunch of PCP and getting my ass handed to me. See the stairs?[​IMG]

    I went down'em on my face, into the snow.

    Got rescued sort of, and taken to the north end of town by some folks who'd been at the show. They found the promoter we were crashing with who grabbed a cab to retrieve me.

    I hadn't even sat down once back to the band house before what turned out to be the coat check girl from the club was stuffing me into another cab back to her place for the next two days.

    The in stands for involuntary. It’s not like he committed to being a virgin if given the chance to have sex.

    For the record, there are plenty of incels that have sex but still consider themselves incels because they're not fucking women as hot as they believe they're entitled to. :async:

    Tererun didn't do the obvious UA/Jenee joke here.

    The Texas mall shooter posted he wanted sex, not a girlfriend, because he didn’t believe in love anymore.

    He also suggested everyone who says “sex is not a big deal” needs to be forced into celibacy or die.

    Our study of sexually frustrated mass shooters dissects this issue.​

    I don't get it. If an incel has the opportunity to get laid, doesn't he automatically cease to be an incel, whether he takes the opportunity or not?

    Y'know, I can identify with the very beginning of this statement. I wouldn't say no to casual sex with a person I found attractive if the opportunity presented itself, because what the hell, sex is fun -- but I'm also not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with anyone, because over the years I've learned that I like living alone, I like my space, and I just don't have any great urge to share my life with another human being to that extent.

    But then the rest of it just hops right on the bus to Crazytown.

    Sigh:sigh:. I told myself I wouldn’t reveal any more personal details because people just use them against me. Well, here we go. You and I are about the same age, I’m guessing. Insert teenager joke. I too like living alone and basically I do whatever I want. I also basically do whatever I want with my job as well. I don’t have kids so I don’t have anyone that I really “report to “. I also have casual sex on a semi regular basis. It’s nice, but man, people need relationships, we just do. I fucked up a lot of things with my ex wife, but she wasn’t an angel either.online dating sucks and so does trying to meet girls in the real world and you’re not going to find the love of your life in a dive bar. So this is the shitty world we live in and it’s not going to get better. That being said, giving up completely on love is short sighted because you might not find “the one”, but at least you’re not alone. Now I could go on and on and on and on, but enough sharing for now.
    Tl: dr version, I agree.

    Well -- I agree that people need relationships, or at least the vast majority of people do. And I'm one of them; it's just that romantic relationships aren't something I feel a need for.

    If I were trying to go through life without any friends or family, that would be depressing as hell.

    Family you can’t choose, but there’s something kinda cool about having someone by your side and the feeling like it’s us against the world. Yes, you don’t have to be married or whatever, but still.

    Nope, sorry. If you denigrate sex workers, like they do, not really an option. If they can't be like the guy in XXX who says, "Bitches come!" and has a bunch of women following him, they ain't interested. Them's the facts. Do you ever see James Bond pay a hooker? No, you did not. You saw him use his awesome cock power to seduce hookers into falling in love with him so that he didn't have to pay them. Unfortunately, unlike James Bond, I do not have the free time to deal with even the minorist of hassles that having a short-term relationship entails. She needs to be at my beck and call at all times for one thing, and one thing only! That way I can satisfy my annoying biological urges, while only delaying my efforts to get Elon Musk to notice my plans to ensure that cryptomining is only done on the asteroids by a mere 30 seconds or so.

    This idea that I need some romantic relationship where I share my space with another person because other people do it is really a load of fucking crap. I tried it, and no. That is not to say I do not want friends, or could not deal with a roommate, but my life is noit lacking simply because I hjave not found some other person that makes it all meaningful.

    Stop pushing your bullshit on others. If it makes your life better then I am happy for you, but when you start telling me I have to have someone then go fuck yourself because why the fuck do I need some significant other because you do? You be you and stop pushing your shit on me. You need a relationship, and that is fine, but remember no one has to be there for you so you better buck the fuck up because your need does not make you entitled to someone else.

    I think you and the boy are talking two different things. friends and talking to others is something people should be allowed to get, and they have to go out and get. No one owes a person friendship. If you are an @Uncle Albert no one should have to be friends with you or even date you. That is just setting someone up to be abused. If he ends up alone because he is toxic and abuses everyone around him then he has to change. Even then there are still people like @Jenee who are so broken and whatever they will take the abuse and like it.

    However, the boy seems to be talking about some romantic relationship which is unhealthy to put in the need category. That leads to INCELS and some others thinking they are owed or deserve a significant other for existing. That is a fucking trap and one of the biggest mindfucks this world puts upon people. It causes perversions, rapes, obsession, and all sorts of bad crap when a person learns they "need" a romantic other.

    Humans need a community and contact, and as well have an innate need for intimacy. Most people mistake intimacy for sex. But, what intimacy really is is respect and a desire to be connected on an honest and respectful level.

    If a man is an intel, it’s because he will not see a woman as an independent human being deserving of respect and intimacy. So, yea, he will always be an incel even if he has sex.

    Besides, the kind of people who advertise on Craigslist aren’t the kind of people who they’d want to fuck, anyway.

    yup... psychology aside, there's also physiological responses that in turn contribute to mental well being.

    meeting the basic physiological and safety needs allows someone the space to pursue the social, esteem, and self actualization. Once fulfilled they are better (proportionately) capable of providing those.
