I MEPHISTO MY OWN ASSHOLE
i'm no expert on incels but i'm pretty sure it's not that their standards are too high but rather their garbage personalities and stunted social skills that repel any woman within 20 feet. i dont think id blame a below average dude for holding out rather than lowering his standards because a lot of times lowering your standards in the US means going out with someone who weighs 2 or 3 times what you do :chaostrump:

if youtube is any indication a lot of those incel/tfl guys are probably like Kent, an incel youtuber who isn't too bad looking but is legit autistic and has no clue how to carry himself around women

Giving the subject of the letter would positively identify her as I doubt there are that many letters published in total in the print edition.

Fair point. Vista Del Mar burned down but there's nothing holding me back from picking someone up from Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara besides not wanting to make the drive. So I guess it's lazycel.

i think most of the talk about incels is pretty far off the mark. a lot of the dumb stuff they believe and say makes more sense if you consider that they are all terrified of rejection by the opposite sex.

that sort of self esteem issue slamming into patriarchal norms sends boys spiraling out into a constellation of very stupid beliefs from puas, to mras, to incels, etc....

To be clear, those were meant as throwaway jokes.

I'm not in a good place to be in a relationship, am not looking to hook up, and recognize that this is my own personal thing. And the only reason I go to psych hospitals is to visit my mom during her stays or to check in for my own stays.

I live in Ventura County, Vista just burned down a month ago which is where I've almost always gone for inpatient and outpatient services as a patient and for no other reasons than to receive psychiatric treatment.

Hilmont is always full, so the only other options for treatment would be hospitals an hour or more away from where I live.

Edit: This is becoming a derail so let's leave things at "failed attempt at humor".

the amount of ad campaign briefs i've read that simultaneously identify millenials as both having infinite money but also being poor as gently caress so ~experiences~ matter is amazing.

what, you don't trust the word of 75-year-old think-tanker Morley Winograd, a washed-out Democratic establishment official who spent the Bush years reinventing himself as the self-proclaimed "Millennial Generation Guru" who makes big bucks selling his expertise as a marketing consultant on the millennial generation?
