Love, Lonely, Relatable and Solitude: Monster Mash

Monster Mash

Today, I realized I'm a failure as a man. It's been 17 years since a woman even touched me. I grew up fatherless, have completely lost hope for any chance of a wife or kids. I'm 35 and never been in a relationship. I'm a complete failure because of all this, and have become a monster. FML

Today, I lost all hope of finding a man. I’m gonna be 34 and I can’t get a date to save my life. I was cursed with a facial deformity and 285lbs of weight, making all men run for the hills. All of my younger sisters have got married and started families. FML

Alexa, play "Don't Give Up" by Peter Gabriel

Today, I've come to terms that I'm only living to work. I'm going to be 25, no friends, never had any experience with women. Been trying all year to meet someone, hasn't worked out at all. Dead end job, school did nothing for me. I literally just exist to work, and have no happy memories at all. I give up. FML

Today, I realized that I've only had 3 men show interest in me: A blind man, a drunk, and a guy so desperate, he's been trying for over 5 years of solid "No"s. I'm 21. FML

Today, after crying after remembering how horribly wrong it went, 10 years ago, with the only person I was ever able to trust enough to let them get close to me, and how no amount of therapy seems to help me, I read an FML about how nobody wants to date a 30 year-old who has never dated. I'm 29 and might as well give up. FML

Forever alone

By Anonymous - 04/04/2024 03:00 - United States

Today, I'm 23, but my development was starved due to my overprotective parents. My peers never accepted me, even though I tried to find someone to be friends with. To this day, I've been told I come off as creepy by more women than I have fingers on my hands. I feel like a fifteen year-old walking around in a man's body. FML

Today, I've reached the age as a sexless loser where my family no longer tells me to find a "single lady" but rather a "single mother". Thanks for reminding me everyone else had fun in their twenties. FML

Today, I got break-up text. She called me a poor, broke, little dick, sorry excuse for a man and said that my mom should have swallowed me "as an egg". She also said that no one could ever want me. Thing is, I haven't had a girlfriend in 2 years. FML

Now that you are aware of your difficulties you can work on them. Seek therapy, do things for others, go make some sports, discover new fields of studies, become a volunteer, find a positive hobby and the best is yet to come.

None of what you say makes you a ‘failure’. You are only young - most of your life is still waiting for you.

You are not a failure. You are amazingly uniquely you.

Nothing of this makes you a failure. And nothing of this makes you a monster. What makes you a monster is deciding to not do something against the progress of becoming a monster.

This weekend should work out great for you! You might win some Halloween costume contests without even trying.

Hey failing is a huge part of being a man, my man. No reason to give up hope. It just takes a spark to start something. But I would look into talking to someone professionally, as it sounds like the lack of strong male figures has wounded you my friend. Kudos to you for making it this far, that is something to be proud of

My uncle didn't get married until he was 50. There's time, trust me. Go talk to a therapist, it'll do you good.

Don't give up hope, man. I didn't really start dating until I finally got my life together at 34. By 39 I got married to a tall, blonde 24-year-old college babe.
