How do I feel datable as a man? I feel fuckable but not datable. Why are some men able to date when their life is a trainwreck and yet I can't invite anyone in
Where do I go from here?

How about some good friends? They will stay around after breakups because they're your friends and not hers.

Friendship doesn't really click for me, I've tried. It's always more about the contents of the experience than the people themselves, similar to my sex life .
People drift away when they realize they aren't an inherant object in my eyes, they are just a component of my environment and the experience in front of me

Basically friendship is for children, people who are trying to make friends in their 30s are fags unironically

Unprincipled parents

okay well you'll never feel datable until you resolve your maladaptive and instrumental view of other humans, dumbass

Dude what? You can't possibly think a regular person is gonna derive meaning from this post.

So you can't have friends if you have a partner? You're only supposed to interact with them?

Everyone here on this board is increasingly fucked.

[eye roll] Here we go again! I won't read requests to calibrate OP's sense of normality, posted by autistic, formulaic, subhuman retards. Life's too short.

I was like this from the start
My first memories are not understanding my parents/siblings emotional demands and craving stimulation

I would like my partner to be a big part of my life. It's not that I don't think we should be allowed to have friends, its more that having friends and having a partner are both cognitively expensive- so I'd rather have a partner

Idk, I think I will be datable when I drive a car.

Just wanted to let you know that my experience with friends and yours are alike.

Thanks for that, I worry that I'm a bad person sometime. I'm not a raging narcissist or an inept autist. I'm less exploitative than your average normie and my social skills are great once I've defined my goals and assessed the limitations of the environment (knowing my place essentially)
