My friend (in his late 30s) is trooning out.
Over the last few years he's been trying harder than before to get a gf, but all he's ended up with is a couple of slampigs, where he puts in waaay too much effort. Eventually he joined some degenerate Discord, attended irl meetups with a bunch of mentally ill freaks, met and fucked/sucked a tranny for a while, and now here we are.
It's very grim.
