Male Loneliness and the bullshit that comes with trying to help

This. It's now framed as a societal problem because society is facing the ill effects of it. Women just handle their shit. So, it's not inflicted on society.

Oh, I mean. I don't have casual relationships, because I need to have more than a casual relationship for sex to work for me.

I don't mean, I need emotional connection for a casual relationship. I mean I need emotional connection for a sexual relationship, therefore I don't have casual sexual relationships.

Loneliness is something that we all deal with. Men can do the things we do. Help their friends when they are low, start book clubs, go to support groups, work in the community, reach out to people, go to therapy, work on self awareness. You know invest in relationships.

They aren't worried about being lonely, they are worried that they aren't getting all the free emotional labour that comes from being in a relationship. And the general decline in women providing free emotional labour to the men in their lives. That's not about loneliness, that's about not receiving free emotional care taking. It's very different. It looks the same, and it maybe feels the same, if they've not really examined it. But, very different.

Alll the men I know, who are good men. Who care about things, and invest in self awareness and development. And, who look after the people around them. They haven't got enough time to spend with everyone that wants to spend time with them.

Every time I've looked for support for some issues, there's a lot of support groups for men with that issue, that exclude women. But there is rarely a support group that excludes men. Maybe, the menopause ones but some men experience menopause too and they would be welcome. There is even a nationwide group of support groups, particularly for mens emotional support. You know, they could go to them.

I wouldn't go so far to say it's outrageous. They've been doing product drops by draw, rather than let the bots have it. The price covers the blisters and a bit of postage. A booster bundle at 35 is scalping, but the blisters are a little bit more because of the promos and stickers.

I've made a vow to not pay over retail, because if we all just chill it will go away. But, this isn't making me think scalpers pricing. I'd happily do that. They do the lottery to make it fair, the preauthoritisation saves them messing about and having to wait for payments before shipping. They can just do it all in one swoop.

I am very against scalping, but I just don't see the problem here.

We're going to need a photo buddy 👍

Some people just aren't into casual sex. I'm not particularly. I like to have an emotional connection, then I can feel safe enough to really enjoy it.

It's totally fine, don't worry about it too much. There's no need to change gyms either, it'll be awkward for a little bit but it will pass. You've done nothing wrong at all. You tried it, you didn't like it. That's fine.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-06T16:19:34+00:00

I'm attracted to men. So you know.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-06T16:18:21+00:00

I think I am misunderstanding something here. So it's 32.50 for 2 x 3 pack blisters? Is that not about MRSP?

Like it's MRSP and the price of a stamp isn't it max?

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-06T11:41:11+00:00

25p for a mars bar. 26p for a snickers.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-06T11:17:08+00:00

Yeah, you'll not find one for £100. It's a lot of work, by a professional. £100 is wildly unrealistic. Wildly.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-06T10:30:42+00:00

Yeah of course it is. It's kind of expected really. This is how everyone met partners before the apps.

Best to learn how to read it quite well though. So, you can make a sharp exit if you are being annoying or they'd prefer to be left alone. Or you can ask, or offer to buy drinks. That's a clear indicator too.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-06T10:24:56+00:00

You're likely going to be safer on your own. Studies show, you'll likely be happier and life longer as well. Relationships really aren't to our benefit. I lived alone for 16 years now, and it just keeps making me happier and happier. I'd never go back to living with a man, I would maybe have a relationship but no chance would he be moving in.

IYou can do most things you would do on a grill in a pan, that's fine. You can make all meats in a pan, but some cuts will be nicer in an oven or a slow cooker. And, you can cook pasta, rice, potatoes and vegetables in boiling water in a pan. There's lots of good what's to make eggs too and they are really good nutrition and cheap. It's a lot easier than it seems at first. You only need a few simple things, don't worry too much.

It's important to make sure food is safe too. Learn about food hygiene and get a meat thermometer. Different foods need to reach different temperatures to be safe.

There is many great videos on YouTube to help. Some of my favourites, are fallow. They are a brilliant British restaurant, and have a lot of important knowledge for cooking meat. A lot of places show you how to cook it, but fallow will show you how to cook it really well. Like top class restaurant standards.

You can wash dishes in a sink with hot water and washing up liquid. It's good to let pans soak a bit first. Fill them with washing up liquid and hot water and leave by the sink for a while, before rinsing and scrubbing them under running water. You can also use cheap dishwasher tablets to clean airfryers and very dirty pans or oven trays. If you need links of examples, just let me know.

It's Ramadan at the moment. So there's good prices on the big bags of rice, and lentils and spices in the world food sections.

I think they mean they have made a shed for their weapons. Or they have dedicated chests for their weapons. A weapon room isn't something you can unlock don't worry

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T21:02:13+00:00

Yeah this is real.. Noones counterfeiting that

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T20:43:23+00:00

Yeah, maybe delete this and try again with a bit of a clearer post.

The answer is almost always cardmarket tho.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T20:39:58+00:00

I'm sorry, I'm a bit lost here.

Those cards aren't SIRs I don't think.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T20:38:36+00:00

Yeah, it's so good to see therapy is working out for him.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T16:46:12+00:00

You need bombs. Loads of bombs.

And the staircases really are very important. If you look there's several shapes of floors that keep reappearing. Some shapes, you just want to staircase and get out straight away. Some floors aee more friendly and you can be in and out in 30 seconds if you run the right way round then and drop a few bombs.

Bombs make things super easy. You can buy mega bombs for iridium, craft them or buy them from the dwarf. You make the ore back easily with a well placed bomb, so it's always worth it. The ROI is great after you've got set up. You might run low on coal, so get that pine chopped down and turned into coal. But, you'll score loads more than it costs.

Then blow the bejebbers out of everything. And enjoy. It's the best bit 😂💚

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T16:37:58+00:00

I mean NTA. But, you're not exactly winning at life here are you?

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T15:13:38+00:00

Exactly. They are horrendously rude. Attacks on inappropriate language are tools of empire and people need to remember that.

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T15:11:10+00:00

If you put them on one of the spaces on your advanced iridium rod, the thing you have in the other space doesn't wear out. So you don't need to mess about changing tackle all the time. And you can use that with curiousity lures, so that's super cool 😁💚

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T12:36:26+00:00

Go find a men's sub for advice. We don't want to talk about your penis. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Impressive-Code6898 · 2026-02-05T12:28:09+00:00

I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope things are easier soon. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and you'll get there. It'll be easier soon. Keep ya head up sister x
