Whatever you need to tell yourself. again, sad but not for the reason you think it is. This reads like you had one bad experience as a kid(with people who were also kids) and its painted your entire view of the world. If you honestly think like this then its IS sad.
Thinking that women avoid you solely because you were single in some insane incel nonsense. and to be holding onto this for 12 years? Wild stuff.
it's been documented quite a bit. women will be more relaxed and aproachable with a man who has a wedding ring on. even more flirty. now, if that's simply because they think he won't try to hit on them cuz he already taken or, some other reason... that depends from woman to woman. but the end result can't be denied.
oh, and because you think collegue = kids. there were people in their mid 20s and early 30s in my class department. amazing how those followed the herd too, right?
not like the IT departments of any actual profitable company are anything but, sausage fest. with HR being made of the most "lovely" girls you will ever have the honour of meeting. in a work or private environment~
and just because i stopped engaging, i've met others. they've all came with different "quirks". sorry i don't want to deal with random bullshit anymore. and sure, i've met some nice women too. guess what; married or in a relationship. and even then, their men faces would drop at the mention "how lucky you are you found a nice one". only hear the most horrifying shiete one could hear. or, just okay as friends. there's this one woman i'm still friends with since highschool. but she has her own issues. like changing boyfriends more often than i turn my matress around ( instructions say, flip it once every 3 months )
me: hey, how's X doing?
Female friend: oh, broke up with him last month. he was to tired lately, but i met Y at the dog park. lemme tell ya, he cooks an amazing lasagna
me:
you know how awkward it is to talk with an ex of a female friend? i lost some amazing people to hang out with just because i "had a connection" to their ex.
but sure, i'm an incel now, or mentality... when I actively avoid women. do you even know the definition of incel? cuz it's the exact opposite of that. i ain't chasing skirts and being rejected at every possible, then crying women bad. you found the character in this manga unlikeable and i agreed with you because author made them real. kinda like that meme
