I guess I am going to be alone. I live my life in the shadows. I drive to work, I sit at my desk, I drive home. Eat, sleep, shower, eat sleep shower. Day in, day out. I have nothing. I am alone and it sucks. I have no friends, I cannot remember what it is like to have a girlfriend, I have a dog though. I am not skinny. I am not out of an Abercrombie ad. I do not like hip-hop. I don’t go to clubs, I don’t drink, I don’t do drugs. Perhaps I am an outcast and I don’t know it. I don’t know what women are looking for. I try to be someone that they could date, but I am only me. I want a date, I want a girlfriend. I know that the poor pathetic me thing is not very popular, but this is a rant, no matter how obscure it may be. I guess I will go to sleep now and get up in the morning to go to work and drive home. Eat, sleep, shower, repeat.

You should do yoga. I’m not joking, join a class, meet some people.

Be social. Do something, like join a team or a club or something.

LiquidChaos - dam man.

Don’t let your work get you down … i am sitting here with a bunch of gits, none of them know their arse from their feet. Fuck em.

I can not say i have a lot of friends either but then again i am pretty hard to tolerate 🙂

I make most of my friends online these days … i was never one for bars or clubs … dickheads wnating to fight n stuff - so i meet people on here (not TSD) say yahoo or what not - see what they are about then hook up n stuff.

My life style does not appeal to everyone, but i get more pussy then most people i know and always have something on the go.

Just a thought anyway… let us know how ya go.

You’ll have to excuse the post. I wrote that at near 4am, very tired and very cold. I guess it is all the christmas stuff, no one feels more alone than at the holidays. I am thankful for your responses, just knowing there is one person out there that gives a shit does make me feel better. Now if I could just get laid ha ha. Anyways, back to the grind here at the wonderful world of title work. Thanks agian.

Well then, you can cut out the showering.

😉

Seriously, though–I totally understand where you’re coming from. But beware of desperation, especially when it comes to romance.

Trust me–there are worse things than not gettin’ any. I finally dumped my gf of 4 months because it was pointless and she was annoying as hell…and went straight back to “shower, work, eat, sleep.” To be honest, it was a relief.

sometimes I see people in public kissing and holding hands and all that and I want nothing more that to be that person, to have someone there with me to share my life with. Then when I come home from work and I can eat what I want, watch what TV ahow I want, go anywhere I want and all that jazz, it feels good to be living my own life, without the need to justify or explain any of my actions to anyone. Wow, that was a pretty long run-on sentence.

Ye gods, man there’s an _entire usenet_ full of porn, with variety just this side of infinite! How could _anyone_ get bored with such a resource available!?!?  
😃

FWIW, I’ve been feeling much the same. Possibly something to do with just hitting 30, or maybe it’s something to do with the season. Either way, cheer up…it’s just a slump, you’ll get over it.

Cheap shot, **Homebrew**.

**LiquidChaos** , I’m sorry you’re feeling so down. It’s true, there are advantages and disadvantages to being single. Be strong, and good luck.

Is that right, **cuauhtemoc**? One shouldn’t be anti-social and then complain about nobody liking you.

I hate black people, I hate gays, I hate rednecks with dumb tattoos. God, get over it. Let people be who they want to be. I am a single, 20 something white male and I couldn’t give a shit less if someone hates single, 20 something white males.

Homebrew, I did not mean to say those things as if I ment them, personally, I dont dislike anyone for what they are, I was just trying to prove a point.

Wow!  
That was kinda harsh donchathink?  
I thought this was “the” place where you could piss n moan, and cry in your beer, and throw your own pity party.  
You dont have to agree, and you dont have to kiss ass…  
But, you dont have to kick a person when their down either.

My mom always said “If you cant say something nice, dont say anything at all.”

I hope when/if you get low and feel lonely, that no one kicks you.
