I can’t speak for socially clueless guys as a group, and as I’ve hinted I’m out of the dating game for good and all, but I have personally known: -

- a girl besotted with a guy whose idea of banter was to tell everyone within earshot that she was on her period while she was begging him to shut up about it
- a woman who left one violent shitbag to take up with another violent shitbag whom even the neighbours on a rough council estate considered a violent shitbag
- two or more girls who’ve managed to pick men who did a great line in wasting their money.

I also don’t claim to have been “hopelessly in love” with any of 'em, but a man would be only human to ask himself “Why in Kdapt’s[sup]\*[/sup] name am I so desperately unattractive compared to _that_”?

Nemmind. There’s always share-cropping and insurance swindles to pass the time.
