One reason I like to chat here is it's cool to have somewhere to talk about girls with other guys who are also a bit alternative. It's hard to find that kind of thing on the web. And many people here are struggling in life generally like I am, such as being NEET, etc.
So... it helps me. I like talking about politics and other things, but they don't help me make progress in my own life such as with relationships or a career.
