Really tbh the best part is the assumption "oh you have trouble finding a committed relationship? Must be because you literally do absolutely nothing and have no hobbies at all, you're probably the only one who has figured out stasis." Like what do you think I just go into a coma? Sure work and sleep takes up a good majority of my time like anyone else but then after that I simply cease to exist until my next shift?

I'm also gonna go ahead and push back on the whole "give up" thing (and don't let me fool you, I have given up lol, but), women do not make the first move most of the time, if I expect to get any dates I'm gonna have to be the one to ask. Literally only one woman has ever asked me out (and I said yes I'd love to, and she short circuited and walked away without another word like "cool does Friday work for you" or any of the normal things you or I might say to a yes.) I have followed the "give up" advice but that doesn't mean I'm expecting to actually find love this way, I'm expecting to die alone and get eaten by my cats, I just hope I can provide them enough sustenance they can get rescued when my neighbors start smelling my body. Not exactly romantic but it's easier than dealing with the current dating climate (which everyone acknowledges is a nightmare until a guy says it, then he's an incel.)

And even if you've given up, looking forward to that future can still make you sad, you're still allowed to want to love and be loved, such is the human condition.

    Or you could get angry and defensive and start catastrophizing, I guess. Is that fulfilling?

    Ah yes you can tell you have a hobby by the way that you wife. I, with no wife, clearly have no hobbies.

    I'm gonna be real, I'm going to continue making fun of these ridiculous assumptions whether you like it or not, get used to it or block me I guess.

    Glad to see you found a hobby, I suppose.

    Glad to see you continue to believe that any unmarried person must have no hobby lmao. I mean really how dumb does one have to be, you don't have object permanence yet? Anything you can't see is an unloaded asset waiting until you walk into the room?

    Good news I guess since I've been assigned a hobby now, I just need to meet a woman who likes making fun of dumb people online while shitting.

    Can't wait to see how you handle rejection, considering how you handle advice.

    Uhh no u? I reject your advice because it is bad and this is how you act?

    I admitted I could be wrong in my initial comment, if you'll recall.

    Then don't get mad when someone confirms that you are.

    If it doesn't work, ok.

    It doesn't

    Then some unc on the internet was wrong.

    He is.

    Wouldn't be the first time.

    I'm sure.

    But it's clear that you're not satisfied with the results of your current approach.

    But doctor, that is my current approach.

    So yeah, that is what happened.

    You could have said that instead of a wall of angry screeching. You opted for the latter.

    Did this make it sound like I was saying "actually you're right I do enter stasis" or "of course I have hobbies you fucking maroon.

    Yes any time anyone calls out your trite ass hack platitudes it means you touched a nerve lmao, they couldn't possibly just be making fun of you and everyone else who has the same banal asinine assumption.

    Live laugh love ass bullshit.

    It's clear to me that you are unwilling to entertain any advice and prefer instead to wallow in self-pity until you're devoured by cats. Goodbye, fancy feast.

    Your advice was "give up" lmao, duh.

    Sure was, meow mix. Guess you're determined to figure it out in retrospect. Hope you get there.

    By the nature of the advice there's nothing to figure out, it leaves it entirely to chance and luck, it barely qualifies as advice, it's like "wanna get rich? Stop trying and hope for money."

    The rationale is in my initial comment. Take the advice or don't.

    Well we've again arrived at the "been there done that" phase, where I remind you that I have been given up, but that still isn't "dating advice."
