    It’s the crippling fear or being called a creep again for simply breathing the same air. Society really fucks with the self esteem of young men.

      Don’t worry it fucks the self esteem of everybody except billionaires who are hoarding it

        not true. billionaires can just afford a hair transplants, personal chefs, cleaning staff, nice shit, etc. and they also pay beautiful women to hang out with them.

    Hmm. Are crushes just people you’re afraid to ask out?

      I would say most of the time, yes. They still might be your crush if you are rejected though. You also might have a work crush on someone, but know it’s not real or you’re already in a relationship. Then you wouldn’t ask them out for other reasons than being afraid. I probably broke this down too much.

      Yeah, I think it was gen Z that started saying “my crush” instead of “someone I have a crush on” years ago.

      I’ve always thought it was a weirdly possessive way of phrasing it.

        I’m a 32 yo millenial and the first time i read “my crush” in a sentence was in a teen magazine when I was 12 yeard old, and from context, it definitely meant “person I have a crush on”

        It’s nothing new

    Relatable.
    Problem is that when i think about a relationship i think about my last relationship and i don’t want to do that again—i would rather be single.

    Chick knew. She thought he would be a better “second husband” when he hits mid to early 40’s. Trust me, you’re better off without an egotistical self serving maniac. Just get a dog, walk them daily, it’s better than a human, and prosititutes can cover the rest. They wanted to play games, don’t. Let the women rot in their shitty relationships, and instead YOU create the world you always wanted to be a part of, and never let their kind into it.
