"The Lost Boys" – young men opt for virtual life of pornography and gaming

[Grimreaper]

what pretty much happened to you?

Girl falling into my lap whilst sitting in front of my computer 24/7.

[Nyoken]

Yea so what...we're happy, and we're different just like any other asshole out there? Who gives a fuck really? Not like we are doing anything wrong.

[Genesi]

Also: unless you're a son of a billionaire, real life sucks. So, I'm not surprised at all that some people tend to like being a hero who save the world from dragon threat, marrying a super-sexy elf queen in the process of saving world, instead of finding happiness in being a janitor in McDonalds, living with a landwhale.

This made me spit my drink out IRL - Oh, soooo funny

I have never worked at McDonalds, but I do enjoy video games and do have a "landwhale" in my life!

Learn to settle for below average women or be an incel, I guess. Not everyone gets to be a winner. Culturally, I'd rather foster an environment where those on the bottom of the pile are happier with what they have, but when dumpy, uneducated men that want to play video games all day aren't able to get as attractive of women as they feel they deserve, I'm probably not going to care much.

Degenerates sitting around on welfare, playing video games, and jerking off doesn't quite fit the Atlas Shrugged theme. These are not our best and brightest.

I would argue that some of them could've been if they hadn't ruined themselves from the age of 5 by playing videogames all day everyday. But fair enough, let's use the phrase opt-out of society instead.

Again with the, "Somehow it's always the men's fault."

No shortage of women out there who aren't good or useful in any way, but we're not allowed to say that, apparently. We're supposed to, "Not be shallow" or something when it comes to them.

Das sexhust all bad womyn are victims of the patriarchy

Well from my experience it is true. I never really had the drive to make contract with girls. Now I haven't watched porn in 11 days and I have 3 days set up with 3 different girls though out the next couple of weeks...

[Thoughtful Trolli]

Not really. There are a lot of really annoying bugs in this one and the company that made it doesn't seem to be interested in releasing any patches.

You think the perfectly tailored VR game would be fun? It just has to keep you subscribed like WoW.

We've had incredible customer retention ever since we promoted the "Don't kill yourself promise it gets better" campaign.

In 20.30 player flying will be released too! Just make sure you do all the prerequisites like completing the Career questline and finding the right person achievements!

[starlord]

well, from my perspective (as a female), what exactly do these guys have to offer me?

love? well i've been cheated on quite a bit, seems like a scam.
money? i have money.
status? not interested.
kids? don't want or need kids.
friendship? i have friends.
sex? i can please myself, and its not a big deal for me.

so why should i fall head over heels for someone who watches porn & plays games all day?
or anybody that isn't exactly perfect for me, for that matter.

i don't resent men at all, i wish them all happiness. but i can afford to take my time and find the right person.
this isn't a bad thing at all, and anybody who's desperately lonely is not in a position to form a healthy relationship anyways.
so make yourself happy before you try to attach your life to someone else's.

Perhaps they should focus on things that can actually change their life situation and not be dependent on a non-existent world.

[unfilteredJW]

Lot of chicken and the egg going on here.

[Glnger]

women are annoying, here's another facet of it.

women, stop being annoying.

you could write the same story with the headline: "Men would rather watch porn and do what they want to do than spend time dealing with modern women and their bullshit" but amg, that might actually require women to look introspectively about themselves, their role in sexuality.

women could do literally the exact same in the opposite, because a lot of guys are pricks, I wouldn't deal with it if I were a woman. which leads me to completely understand the idea of just not giving a fuck, masturbation is awesome and if we could introduce the idea of masturbating and pornography to the middle east we'd probably solve a lot of problems in the world.

protip: sexually frustrated propagators of any species are fucking crazy

Girl falling into my lap whilst sitting in front of my computer 24/7.

well, theres outliers in every group, but I wouldn't say that its the rule not the exception.

[Glnger]

That is mean

luckily, I put a lot of words around the statement to make the statement more meaningful that an empty attack on women.

[Vetis]

they aren't opting for a virtual life..they are opting out of what they see as a society hostile to them.

[AndaliteBandit]

I thought this was going to be about the Mormon boys who are often excommunicated for the slightest offenses to reduce competition for wives. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_b...damentalism%29

[Anastacy]

Wait...men found ways to be happy, that didn't include getting married ASAP, supporting a woman and children, and eventually dying at a younger age from working so hard?

Well fuck me...

[breadisfunny]

That is mean

draenei are mean fat and ugly.

[Spiffums]

I came into this thread thinking it would be 80's vampires........I am so fucking disappointed. #needsmoredeathbystereo

Well fuck me...

this was my point and much better made.

[Grimreaper]

so why should i fall head over heels for someone who watches porn & plays games all day?
or anybody that isn't exactly perfect for me, for that matter.

Why shouldnt you? A girl fell head over heals for me, full well knowing that i watch porn and play games all day. So why cant you settle for that?

There is no such thing as a perfect man, just like there is no such thing as a perfect woman.
