I didn't get the vibe in singular's comment that he was hurt or bitter. He seemed very matter-of-fact about it.

- Mz 14y agoA more neutral, briefer version might be "Don't say no for them". Bitter or not, he indicates he is giving up and planning to be alone because it is too much trouble for no pay off. I also may well spend the rest of my life alone, for complex reasons which aren't relevant here. But I am clear that I am not closed to a relationship. His various remarks indicate he is fed up and no longer wants to try. I will add that the man I knew was someone in a male dominated online forum. Men on hn often make the kind of mistake he made of talking like there are no women around, what they say here doesn't count because no woman will ever see it, etc. I am not interested in hanging my crap on singular. But I do see quite a lot of parallels between his posts here and the behavior of the generally nice, educated, intelligent professional man that I ultimately became so fed up with. I hope that is clearer for you. And have an upvote.
