*Sigh* This forum has a short memory span doesn't it? Only a couple of weeks ago there was a thread where virtually all of you expressed very similar sentiments to mine (excluding the suicide bit) regarding Dante. What's changed between now and then I've no idea.
I stand by what I said. You guys have seen some of the stuff people post on here - there've been guys legitimately claiming that baldness is worse than cancer, that they hate their lives and muddle along in misery just praying for someone to murder them in their sleeps. A lot of these people post this same sh*t pretty much daily, saying that their lives are soo terrible, they're the ugliest person in the world etc. Well, either they're exaggerating (which most of them fervently deny) or their lives are really so bad that they want to die.
If that's the case, then why shouldn't they do it? If their situations are really as desperate as they say they are, then why the f*** not? There are effective methods out there; man up and pull the plug. The truth though, is that most (if not all of these people) are exaggerating. They don't want to die and they don't suffer 24 hours a day. They have things to life for, sometimes they even feel pretty happy.
Hair loss is f*****g sh*t. I know it, you know it. But there are people on here who are using their hair as a crutch, a kind of 'instant pity and attention' card. They spend their lives on an internet forum, arguing about who's got the worst hairline, or the shittest social life. If you're going post daily on H.L.T, at least contribute something productive.
I see the merit in letting off steam, having a vent every now and again, but for many on here it goes way way beyond this. Past a certain point, I just question what its really achieving: there's only so along you can listen to the same one or two people saying the same miserable things over and over again, day after day, before you just want to go slice their faces in.
Most of the chief complainants don't even want to get better. They change their tune daily - Dante, for example, one day = 'oh I hate everyone, I don't want a girlfriend', the next he's moaning 'oh if I could only get a 4/10 gf, my life would be so wonderful'. The one that pissed me off the most was the 'oh I just want to be average looking so people won't bully me' - the forum told him how he could achieve this (braces and a nose job essentially) - and he suddenly 180's: 'what's the point in spending all that money so I can only look average?'. I genuinely can't believe you guys don't clock these things. He could be average looking, he could get a 4/5 out of 10 girlfriend. He just chooses not to. Sometimes (with a few exceptions) I wonder whether anyone on here can actually read!
But what does it matter? For better or for worse, I just don't think we're on the same wavelength. It's not my intention to go flinging sh*t at anyone - it's only a couple of people I really have a problem with. I simply wanted to point out some things that have been bothering me and suggest ways in which they might be resolved. That's all I'm going to say on the matter.
Bracing myself for another barrage of 'F U's',
