pity threads are probably as old as internet itself.... lonely guys complaining why they can't get any... and they are usually offered some canned advice in response, and that's the end of the thread. Issue is rarely brought up anywhere but the internet; since people see opening themselves up as a sign of weakness.
So no big deal, right? just people venting; and they would feel completely different next day when things are going their way.
But when you look more closely around you, in the workplace, around town, etc. there are WAY TOO MANY lonely guys hurting (I am not just talking about fat or socially awkward men; just normal men next door), and caught up in self-destructive cycles, going through their lives hoping "it's gonna be ok" and "you will find someone some day".
I can't help but to think there must be a better answer... this can't be right.
even though pity threads are usually result of some short-term venting, they do point to a much deeper, widespread, and hidden social problem, which for some reason, is not getting enough attention.
any thoughts?
