Are you lonely?

Being hyper-sensitive to anything male and scared of anything female unless you can have sex with it?

You've sort of lost me, I'm afraid. :lol:

Forgive me if I'm being rude or anything, but saying "super macho" types must be uncomfortable with their sexuality- as you did- is no different from saying that non-"macho" men must be homosexual, or that non-"feminine" women must be lesbians. Some people are quite comfortable being traditionally "manly", and it doesn't reflect on their self-knowledge or sexuality at all.
Hmm...you have a point.

I guess I've just become biased by that because it could be a GLBT thing, as I am a part of that community. I'm use to some(not all) guys talking about overcompensating their manlyness to hide. Before I became a loner, I was one of them, small but manly like a pitbull.

Ah, I understand. I see your point, too. :)

I may be biased, as well- because in the community I grew up in sexuality wasn't an issue, happily. No one felt the need to hide. I'm aware not all communities are so tolerant, and some GLBT people have to overcome the idea that it's somehow shameful to step outside a particular category.
 
This thread clearly needs a high dosage of testosterone.

Stop being lonely sizzies, go out, be the man and get the girls.

So instead of just being depressing and frustrated, we'll be depressing, frustrated, sexed up and full of testosterone! Basically like an elephant in musth. ;)

That sounds quite fun, actually. Who wants to join me on a violent rampage? We can trample on the sociable. It will serve them right.

That's a lot harder to DO than to SAY.

When you're feeling sad, stop feeling sad. FEEL AWESOME INSTEAD!

See above.

No, it's not. It really is not.

Finding friends and finding a partner is like drawing lots. The more you draw, the better your chances at winning.
If you only draw one single lot in 10 years, you shouldn't be surprised that you're never hitting the jackpot.
 
I'm a guy who appreciates being alone. I leave the phone on an answering machine, I don't carry a cell phone or pager (anymore) and have a definite preference for solitary activities.

That said, I did experience some pretty intense feelings of loneliness when I was young. Some of that was hormonal, of course, since girls weren't always easy to come by. And a lot of it was just the fact that I was born about a thousand years too early. My life always revolved around the Arts & Sciences and I never had many people to share my thoughts with.

I've mellowed over the years, though. Now I'm just lonely in a melancholy, bittersweet, stare at the sunset and sigh wistfully kind of way. :cool:
 
As the old Hank Williams song says. Everybody is lonesome for somebody else but nobody is lonesome for me.
 
When you're feeling sad, stop feeling sad. FEEL AWESOME INSTEAD!

This part is actually good advice. Pretending you're cooler than you really are is the first step to becoming such.

Now if only I could figure out the second step...

No, it's not. It really is not.

People *with* partners always say that it's easy to find one.

And how do you think they found them? Rarely, very rarely somebody finds a partner just by waiting for her falling in his lap. You don't get muscles by sitting around all the time either. You don't learn how to drive a boat by doing nothing. You don't learn how to draw if you don't take the pencil and start drawing, no matter how ugly and frustrating it is in the very beginning. It's the same principle.

Some have talent, I give you that. A friend of mine is the incarnation of Charlie Harper. He just needs to look at a girl and you know, eight hours from now, he will dance the mambo with her. He can say the worst hook up lines that would normally earn you a solid slap in the face, and he still gets busy. It's crazy. I have no effin' idea how he does it.

But that's the exception, not the rule.
 
This is the most fucking miserable thread ever.

"Oh, you'll feel better about yourself if you read about a few other people's problems!" I thought.

WRONG!

The human race is doomed to die a lonely death.

I guess it's more humane than the slow, lingering, radioactive one I predicted prior to clicking on this thread.

I'm not good at the whole meeting people thing, and because I have only two really close friends, I do feel lonely sometimes. Not as much now that I've been working a lot lately so I'm always around people, but before I was. I try not to worry about it much, eat right, stay healthy, and not get too depressed and it's helped. Still, I wish I was a better person in the social game than I am.
 
It is sad to know that there are people who are lonely. I have very vivid memories of being lonely (first 17 years of my life and again between the ages of 29 and 32), and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I count myself quite lucky... I actually spend a lot of time alone, but knowing that my beloved is never far away makes it so that I'm never lonely during those periods.
