No, you're just delusional about things if think 'doomerism' is stating facts of the world.

Sorry that it makes you uncomfortable to hear about other people's life experiences that don't match your own. Sounds like you want to live in a bubble. I'm glad you want to do that, some of us don't want to live in a bubble.

I own a home, that doesn't mean home prices aren't astronomical and fucking over lots of people. It just means I got lucky. It has nothing to do with my mindset or my emtional states.

the world exists apart from my perceptions and feelings about it. if I died tomorrow, nothing of what is said in this article would change.

    You've conflated what's been true for you with what must be true for everybody. Plenty of people go on cheap dates, you just seem mad it can't be you.

    "Nobody goes on cheap walking dates, at least not proper adults" you have it in your head you cannot go on a cheap date. This is a YOU issue. Jesus man just go back and re-read some of your posts.

    "Women don't want to go on waking dates" plenty of women would be down for that, maybe none that YOU are trying to date. Either that or you've been drowning in man-o-sphere bull shit telling you women only want a tall, tan, rich man or something.

    I'm not uncomfortable with anything you've said, could be projection there my guy.

    Again you talk about owning a home but that's barely tangentially related to going on cheap dates. Again, it's not your physical living conditions that is worrying, it's your current mental state. Which would also negatively affect your ability to get dates.

    Yeah that last part is just true. You and me both actually.

    Lol I don't agree with your experiences of women only going on dates if you spend a lot of money on them?

    I'm not the one posting paragraphs about how it's impossible to go on a cheap date. Since you apparently also know what all women want now?

    You keep bringing up random shit too. I'm sorry about your mom but that's not at all related to you thinking no "proper woman" would ever go on a cheap date with anyone. It's all in your head man, I'm not trying to hurt you I'm trying to help set you free. And again, that guard has you locked in TIGHT. Just go back and read through your old comments when you're feeling better, maybe you'll catch something you didn't see the first time.
