This reads like an indictment of... Something. But what? Should there be public policy that helps socially awkward men mate like there's public policy that helps disabled people access public services?
Yes it's challenging to be different from normal. Welcome to the privilege discussion. Now that you're here what do you think our priorities should be?
- username90 7y agoIt isn't an indictment, it is just an observation. > Now that you're here what do you think our priorities should be? Personally I'm fine being alone, both my parents were in multiple extremely toxic marriages so I feel no need to get into one myself.
