>chubby former drug addict who was in rehab and couldnt drive/wasnt planning on getting her license. Although she was very sweet and had a lot of soul in her eyes and seemed very genuine. Still talk to her once in a while but not much more than that. >drug addict who blatantly used men for money and free meals>dated a girl for about two months who was fine at first but became increasingly overbearing and invasive that wanted me to quit playing music and sell all of my equipmentits just rough right now. I spent a long time severely walled off emotionally and still have some hard commitment issues which ultimately ended a relationship i would kill a person to be with again and destroyed my 10 year friendship with her, but im in a place for the first time in my life where i want to fully open with someone but i think that im coming to find that a lot of people are really damaged in a way that they dont know how to handle. Women have a suicidal hubris that comes from being treated like children throughout their entire lives but being told theyre just as strong and capable as men in every regard and it lends to a lot of really fucked up delusions and generally leaves a lot of them unpleasant to be around.
Which sucks. A genuine synergistic relationship with a woman is unmatched and i consider myself very lucky to have experienced it but, ive had others that have straight up deleted parts of my personality from long term emotional abuse that i didnt recognize until it had been too late that im still trying to recover from. But, put on that and constant social media consumption, horrible economy, looming and constant worry about the future and all manner of things.
TL,DR, its not so much that people are giving up, its that it feels like there isnt even a game to be played.
