Because he wants a Free Girl. But he needs to be a manager first.

This is not a troll. He is a legitimate fucking lunatic. And anyway, anyone who spends that much time and effort creating a troll persona has become the thing he pretends to be.

It’s actually pretty clear why…because he is not a healthy, rational person. His number one “dear god what’s WRONG with this guy” issue isn’t sex, it’s whatever his mental illness is - if his obsession wasn’t sex, he’d channel his irrationality into some other pursuit, like birtherism, or UFO conspiracies.

If it would shut him up I’d say pass the hat and send him to a hooker but I suspect that wouldn’t really solve the real problem here. The real problem? Actual several, and we’ll start with an overdeveloped sense of entitlement and a woeful lack of empathy for others.

This is utter nonsense. My program has nothing to do with slavery.

Also, I never said rape isn’t a traumatic thing, I just said that incel can be worse in many cases. But you’re just full of empathy for incel men, right? :rolleyes:

Why do you think I’m obsessed with sex at all? That’s utter nonsense, especially now that I take anti-depressants.

Don’t lie. Most people are having sex and relationships.

When you admit to begging your mother for sex — not to mention calling her a whore when she doesn’t comply — you’ve gone far beyond an average MRA’s sense of entitlement; you’ve hit Time Cube Guy-level insanity.

I am not calling her a whore becuase she didn’t want to have sex with me but because she did nothing to help me for 10 years. And I’m not even an MRA, check About me section of the blog.

And yet you provide not one scrap of proof for that. Tell me, is this “incel” frequently paired with bone-breaking beatings? Are there cultures were men are stoned to death for involuntary celibacy?

> [@](#):

Actually, I am. I am happy to give them advice on what women are actually looking for and things they can do to improve their chances of getting a date and even developing a relationship.

I will say that badgering your mother for sex is not a very productive way of getting your weenie waxed. Announcing to the world you did this is also not going to increase your appeal to women. If you claim that that is not what you did then ask yourself why so many people - men included - are interpreting your words that way.

Beyond that, I _am_ puzzled why you do not avail yourself of the services of a professional if unable to convince a woman to have sex with you for free. Granted, this is not legal in many jurisdictions but assuming you live in the US there are places in Nevada that operate legal brothels and would be happy to accommodate your needs. The ladies are, after all, in business to please their customers. Granted it’s not a real relationship but it would serve to relieve the worst of your frustration, enable you to get some real experience with a woman, and help you work on the “real relationship” part of the problem with a clearer head.

> [@](#):

That’s how you come across. I do understand that how someone appears to be on the internet is not always what they’re like in real life, but even if you don’t agree with the feedback it might pay off to reflect on what you’re doing to give people that impression.

> [@](#):

It’s also very common for people who are in relationships to continue to masturbate in addition to having plain old sexual intercourse. It may be due to differing levels of sexual desire, one partner being injured or ill, prolonged absences, or sometimes it’s fun to watch your partner get him/herself off.

Masturbation between relationships is also very popular.

When you’re so horny you can barely think it may not be as satisfying as a wonderfully fulfilling relationship but it does satisfy to a degree and it does get that itch scratched. I don’t know about you, but I think a lot better when not distracted by itchiness.

> [@](#):

And… what exactly did you expect her to do?

Look, if you want some advice and/or help in getting a date that’s possible, but you’ll have to tone down the hostility (yes, you are coming across as hostile and angry) and observe the “don’t be a jerk” rule.
