When I first joined this forum back in October, I was posting almost daily, completely absorbed in the discussions here. But after a while, I hit a wall. Burnout, I guess. I took a month-long break, tried to distance myself, but something kept pulling me back. And when I returned, it was like a light bulb went off in my head: ´This is it. This is why everything feels so broken´.
Everything just clicked. The state of the world, the isolation, the way modern dating has become a soulless marketplace.... A meat market as I like to call it. Everything fits together like a puzzle. I was coping fine on my own: working, gaming, even getting outside to fish and hike alone. But no matter what I did, the loneliness never really went away.
Then I read a post here, wish I could remember who wrote it, that laid it all out: how men today are more isolated than ever, how the post-1950s cultural shifts, sexual liberation, feminism, and especially those godforsaken dating apps that exploded after 2012 completely rewired society. And it wasn’t just some bitter rant; it was true. It explained everything I’d felt but could never put into words.
That’s why I keep coming back. No other place gets it like this one. You can’t talk about this stuff anywhere else without being dismissed or called some buzzword insult. But here? It’s raw, unfiltered, and real. This forum isn’t just a distraction, it’s the only place where things actually make sense.
Anyone else feel the same? Like no matter how much you try to move on, you always end up back here because nowhere else even comes close to understanding?
