When I created A Puzzling View on Relationships, I remember getting flack on the socials at the time for being “bitter”. In the last decade (err really a couple years after 2012), I did try to improve myself to the best of my ability; then after receiving therapy, I still struggled. It’s how one communicates feeling left-out.
In reality, I am no different than when I was 25 in terms of being single, or worse perpetually single. The environment gotten so much worse. It was years before #MeToo, it was years before MGTOW and PUAs coming out of the fringes into cringes in the mainstream. In 2021, being single was probably the worse part. Add the horrible politics of 2022 with women, it makes it a really tough time to be a man if being a man is so politically incorrect.
