All you robots talking about how meeting a female who will offer

Inb4 countless robots post contact info and you don't reply to a single one

>>34161472
>Explain.
Offer it to me please.

>>34161472
People suck robots included. Doesn't mean we are all bad though. Good luck finding someone to offer your undying love for anon.

>>34161503
Never said I was gonna.
All I ask is for an explanation.

>>34161472
Well, you have to explain why you were rejected, op

>>34161472
Well anon I love you with all of my heart I think you're perfect. <3

>>34161510
Not OP but I will love you forever and bear you children. Marry me please.

>>34161472
Do you realize that majority of robots have either incredibly low or extremely high standards?

>>34161599
Anon I love you with all of my heart you're perfect.

Because men are all the same, women. Especially the men on this board, they are quite amusing.
They project their self-loathing onto women and blame them for their misery, pain and melancholy.
They are the quickest to respond to women being picky, over confident, etc. but are the same.
You probably weren't beautiful enough, your body wasn't good enough and they didn't feel the sensation they expected from talking to a woman.
This isn't because you are not worth it, but because they are deluded manchildren.

>>34161599
That's wonderful. Please post a throwaway.

>>34161649
Sure thing sweetheart. We should love women for their personality while they're banging more physically attractive guys behind our backs. Talk about undying love.

>>34161649
You know I actually agree with what you said and I'm male.

Because you're only offering it to Chad, more correctly depressed chad who thinks he's "such a loser robot boo-hoo" when he's just lazy.

>>34161472
Post your face and I might be able to tell you why.

>>34161706
The other person can be your husband hes probably better off than me. Still I wish you good luck.

Maybe because you never offered it to me

>>34161670
Why do you make this assumption? Based off of the misogyny on this board? Based off your history of a girl choosing a different guy over you?
You are simply jealous that you are not the number one choice for any given female and are unable to endure the thought of it, so you are in denial, project your feelings since the world is not going as your emotions, impulses and wishes long for.
It's quite simply actually, but you make a huge deal out of it and essenctially just make it worse and harder for yourself.
The irony is quite adorable.

>>34161472
You are either ugly, fat, have a cock, or are an awful person.

>>34161796
What the fuck are you trying to say? There's zero coherency in your ramblings.
>My projections
Sure. I've seen those girls who are sweethearts with boyfriends and then slutty when it comes to the girls night at club. The main thing is that the vast majority of girls have to lie about her past because otherwise any self-respected guys would refuse to have anything with them. There are no sweet angels, just the ones who got caught or didnt.

>>34161919
Why do girls have to be "sweet angels" in the first place? Women aren't there for you to please them and god forbid that they actually go out, have fun and maybe even make mistakes.
Sorry anon, I forgot that I was talked to someone who actually believes that women are only worth it when they are a virgin, untouched and never speak up to you.
You can't even read into these situations because you lack the social skills probably and you just generalize everything you say which is your worst fallacy.

>>34161796
>>34161987
>tfw no strong independent gf to tell me whats right and wrong

Probably because you're ugly.

Despite what robots claim on this board they all have pretty high standards. Probably too much porn and 2D.

Nah, women are there to pleas me.
Women ARE only worth their virginity because men are, biologically, SCIENTIFICALLY better at EVERYTHING else than women. The only worth women have is in their wombs.
That's.
Fucking.
It.

And I'd rather invest in an un-used womb then used goods thanks.

of course
>Uses shit like "virgin" as an insult
You can stop pretending to be a woman now robot bro, there's no need to shitpost here bud.

>>34161987
Just because you're talking like that, doesnt mean that the same applies to the rest of 99.99% girls.

So randomly fucking a guy is called a mistake? Should i fucking pat your head for that? Dont try to act morally superior.

>>34161537
How do you even expect an explanation when we know literally nothing about you?
For all I know you could be a catfish, a female (male) or a plain crazy bipolar piece of shit.

Tells us at least your hobbies and what you do in your free time.

Also you know very well that in threads like this you'll always find interested people, now it's up to you giving them a chance.

Yeah I suppose so. Oh well I doubt I will ever get any kinda of gf so I shouldn't have a preference desu.

>>34162088
Even if i'd be girl, i wouldnt date any of those self-proclaimed robots. They're literally ticking bombs and would become completely different people in relationships.

>>34162402
>mistakes
Yeah, i love when roasties use that word. They have sex with +50 guys and write it off "self-discovery" or "mistake". They werent raped at gunpoint, so they knew what they were doing.

>>34162430
I don't care if my gf is a virgin or not as long as she hasn't slept with 10+ guys it wouldn't be a problem.

>>34162435
Not even a girl but you never did anything you regretted when you were young? Same thing applies to them sometimes people do stuff they later regret.

>>34162398
How do you know that though?
It's that attitude that makes everyone even more bitter, not being able to get a chance because "I bet I wouldn't like you anyway" even though you made an OP about how bad it felt be lonely it really fucking stings.

>>34162471
>he is not silly some kid still in highschool
I mean they think roastiemeans anything.

>>34162471
I said about having +10, 20 or 50 random partners, not getting once or twice with your old friend because you've liked him since 5th grade. When you do it consciously then it cannot be a mistake.

>>34162566
That's understandable I just assumed you were saying a large number as an exaggeration the way a lot of people do on this site.

>>34162603
Large numbers are not exaggeration if we're talking completely honest. We just dont realize how random sex is common among females.

Is hard to find a person who loves you.

It's twice as hard to find two persons who loves one another.

Honestly, I had 4 girls falling in love with me in the entirety of my life. But I've always refused.
I did not loved them.

I don't know how love feels.

>I'm unloveable because I cannot love back.

The feel is complex.

>>34162834
You refused because you didnt think that you can be loved. You have to love yourself first.

>>34162102
Nice bait, I actually was about to reply seriously to that.

>>34162120
This isn't a gender thing. Women don't make more mistakes than men do or vice versa. It's a human thing to make mistakes, but it is not possible to rationally discuss this with people like you because you already start with generalizing the matter by saying that "99.9% [of] girls" are like this.
There won't be much anyone will be able to say to change your mind because you will only hear and read what plays into your narrative.

>>34162402
>>34162435
I never meant that by saying mistakes, but people like you already shun women who sleep with more than one guy, so what even is the point?

It's hard to do anything. And I know I'm not alone here with this feel.

But don't worry. I'm beyond acceptance at this point.
It doesn't even feel bad anymore.

Plenty of guys also fuck around. So why do you people shame girls for doing what most guys do?

Let's just say that you have no idea what you're talking about because it cannot happen to you.

I think you have to be pretty naive that if 100 ants bite into your ass, that exemplary 101th one will act differently. Call that narrative or what ever 10$ dollar word you want but remember that in the end of the day facts speak for themselves.

another anon said "I said about having +10, 20 or 50 random partners, not getting once or twice with your old friend because you liked him since 5th grade. When you do it consciously several times then it cannot be a mistake". Virgin meme is basically intense madonna/whore complex on large scale.

Unreasonable? If you are religious and have strict beliefs, no. Even if you aren't religious and this is your way of thinking and how you live your life to the SAME standards, no.

But usually that isn't the case (for men here); it's actually double standards at the finest. It's not about her actually 'saving herself' for anon and finally experiencing the highest form of love by being able to have sex and express your deepest feelings for each other.
It's about having a blank piece of paper. Unwritten and not used in the sense that you do not have to worry about your deep lingering insecurities that, before you, a man have might touched her, kissed her or even had sex with her - things that you have desired for so long.
That a man actually has already been there and done it before you.
It's not actually about the woman, it's about being surpassed by some other man and that hurts their ego. Not being the first choice, not being the best and thinking that they are just 'sloppy seconds'.

>>34163242
To be fair most people on this board wouldn't be much more than people you settle for. I don't agree with the boards "used goods" bull shit though. As long as a girl hasn't slept with 10+ men its fine with me if she loves me after 10 though its kinda weird.

>>34163068
I am not gay why would i care about what other guys do?
I am looking for a female, so I judge and evaulate girls as potential partners.

>>34163318
Ok well good luck finding a virgin girl that's "pure" enough in your eyes you'll need it.

>>34163386
I don't think its a small amount I think it's a lot even 9 or 8 even 7 would bother me a lot and might even be a deal breaker but looking for a virgin girl is just stupid imo.

I never said that all robots are misogynists, I said that the levels of misogyny on this board can be quite high at times - this thread is just one example, but we could go through the catalog and find posts and even whole threads if we actually both cared enough.

What is the mistake though? That the female human being has had (sexual) relations before you? That she is not saving her (apparently) holy vagina? Is that even a mistake though?
It just doesn't make sense. She doesn't have to pay for anything just because your personal views might that she did something bad. Stop demonizing females.
And no, girls don't do this more often than guys do, but due to your interest you only see and remember and actually care about what female are doing with their sexual organs and not males.

>>34163609
>Is that even a mistake though?
Yes because she knows that majority of guys dont want tainted girl. No one will behead her for not being virgin but she should take responsibility if someone points out that she responsible for her current situation be taking wrong choices. She fucked with football captain and he told everyone how slutty she was and because of that she ruined her relationship with current bf. Whose fault was that? Captain or girl?

fear of commitment
love takes more than a simple promise. needs empathetic ties
probably who you are as a person doesn't fit who they are. wanting love does not qualify you to be in a relationship with just anyone, there are still some limitations and specifics
also, this thread just being bait because were a girl to do this, she'd fail a few times before finding someone either desperate enough to grant unto her a flash of limerence or just "right" for her.
love needs depth, throwing it away like that which is heavily implied when you say "every time i offer mine" = many occurrences = sterile feelings. so even if you found someone on that basis it'd still suck pretty hard and you'd survive on a meager diet of tender words

most people here are emotional children, so easily hypnotized by affection

>>34163554
Yet a person from this board is giving a "good example" about women. I have not seen a female equivalent of this self-pity behaviour. Not even lolcow is this pathetic.

that's a matter of personal view, but lets simplify it to doing things you regret doing in this case
it's hard to set a line between being a slut and being sexualy active
but i have seen girls slut themselves at parties with guys they met first time
later complaining they can't find a good bf
>And no, girls don't do this more often than guys do

Majority of guys don't consider her tainted. As other anon said, it's only a mistake in your eyes because it's your worldview.

Also, I fail to understand your American teenage highschool jock movie scenario. Her boyfriend dumped her because he doesn't like the idea of her ex being a guy that he hates? That's entirely the bf's fault.

>>34163721
You are reducing the women's value to her sexual organs alone. Do you realise that? Interesting how important they are to you. Really makes you think.

Her sexual organs are the only thing of value though.

Wtf else does a robot want? We're all loners.

I hope roles reversed just for one day so as a male I could make a thread about being lonely and refused, get various replies by females interested and tell every single one of them to fuck off because they're "all the same anyway".

What are you talking about? This isn't even about personal opinions. What kind of statement is that? You just deflect any arguement that devalues your own by saying "personal opinon bro".

You probably went for the closest thing to Chad here that would say that and we're surprised when he didn't mean it.

>>34164001
Your fictional situation hardly has anything to do with what we are talking about though, but it's fine, it shows that you just assume that all women are crying, cheating, slutty, degenerate human beings and there's not much that will change your view on this seeing how hard you are trying to defend your point of view.

Even if you found a 'good girl' in your book you will still have the views and abide them but in different ways.

>>34164061
Yeah I really do wish I could find a gf like that though. Sex isn't even that big of a deal to me.

No one will ever love us. I vote the spinsters here form a knitting club for sad women and consume a biologically unreasonably amount of food until we get mauled to death by felines that we will presumably have. It's more certain than anything a man could promise.

>>34163958
That's the destiny of majority of people who find someone on /r9k/. They can't get past their insecurities and parrot that all females are the same, no matter how much love the girl tries to express to them. As someone said before, most of guys on this board are ticking toxic bombs. That's why nobody wants to even accept contact info.

>>34164093
Nah, i dont have madona/whore complex nor i do believe into finding "virgin qt good girl". You want to believe that this board is misogynistic, fine. You never raise a question what makes robot think in that way but always show off that you're so morally superior against me and cannot make a mistake.

>>34164120
that sounds similar to the way MGTOW guys have resigned themselves

I'm curious though, what's your total sexual partner-count?

>>34161796
>stop complaining that there is not a single girl in the world that would love you and pick you over another, you gotta man up!
How come women always get men that are more wealthy and physically attractive than them then? Should I ignore this because I'm a male and don't deserve a gf that looks halfway decent and doesn't bang Chad behind my back?

>>34164044
Then she is in the wrong. Same for a guy that would be wrong if he agreed on monogamous relationship and then cheated. I don't understand what you're trying to prove there. Anyone would be seen as an ass if they cheated.

>>34164103
>Sex isn't even that big of a deal to me.
What gender are you then because you're clearly not a male if sex isnt high in priorities list.

>>34164013
Neither of our statements can be proven so there is no point in arguing.
That's what I meant by this.

>Of course you do to some degree if you care about a women's sexual history so much, anon.
maybe, subconsciousness is a thing afterall
nonetheless i know that i dont think about other guys and their sexual history

but i wouldn't like slutty girl even if she was bi and only fondled with girls

>Actually, I take back everything I said. You baited me, good job.
that wasn't my intention tho
let's discuss

>>34164157
>I'm curious though, what's your total sexual partner-count?
Oh, the classic "ur a virgin" insult.

>>34164214
no no not an insult, honest. I just wanna know what stage girls resign to possibility of being spinsters. virgin, few partners, many partners etc

>>34164152
I don't know you in person nor am I a certified psychologist so I couldn't know if you actually have such a complex, but the statements you have made so far are quite toxic and slut shaming. I can only go by what you say.

I don't believe that this board is totally misogynistic either, but you can't deny that many people who visit actually are.

I never raised that questions because I am not stupid and I can imagine why some reasons might be and, wow even though I am just a woman, I can actually understand! But does that make your way of thinking okay or good? No.

I'm not showing off that I am morally superiror either, but it's interesting that you felt that way, but making generalized unfair statements is just never cool, hombre.

Good luck finding a guy willing to settle with your used up hole.

If I posted a "femanon looking for bf" thread I would have plenty of choices wouldn't I?

>>34164279
Don't worry, she will. She doesn't seem to have hateful and unhealthy views.

But that isn't even always the case. Sure, it happens, but men do the same. This is not a gender issue as I said before.
And oh gosh, god forbid that a human actually wants to be with someone who they find physically attractive!

No one said that you don't deserve a girlfriend (that looks halfway decent). Someone being a cheater and a liar has nothing to do with gender, but with their personality etc.
You assume that every "halfway decent" looking girl will cheat on you. Do you see a pattern?
Guys do the same, transsexuals do the same -- because it's. not. a. gender. thing.

Maybe you should also pay attention to their personality and not JUST their looks?

Nothing has to be proven. A women having sex is not a mistake she has to pay up for in order to make some guys feel better about themselves. Period.

>slut shaming
You really use those words unironically? If you really do then i cannot treat you with respect.

>>34164295
Yes this board is known for being frequented by high quality males.
Also consider the probability that they'll use you as training material for relationships and sex then go looking for something less worn out once they build some self esteem.

I normally don't use the term, but that is basically what anon is doing, but if you want to worm your way out then sure thing buddy, go ahead.

>>34164420
you said
>Good luck finding a guy willing to settle with your used up hole.
That isn't a problem at all for me.

>slut shaming
Why the hell they shouldnt be shamed? We're not talking about legitimate rape victims but a women who've had repeating various non-monogamous sexual acts with random guys. If you're a slut by definition then you cant be angry because people call by what you are.
Another point i want to add, how so we never see the stop of male virgin shaming? Basically female slut and male virgin are deviations from accepted norm but in the west you cant call women sluts openly while it's even encouraged to ridicule involuntary virgin guys.

>>34164420
btw good luck finding a girl stupid enough to settle for you that will be pretty hard no doubt.

>>34164375
you are getting a bit lost there I see

that's not what we argued about
it was about which gender has more problems with accepting consequences of their mistakes (any kind of mistakes)

>A women having sex is not a mistake she has to pay up
that's true I never said that
i only mentioned sluts refusing to accept that they can be judged by their actions
>pay up for in order to make some guys feel better about themselves
who said it makes me feel better?
also girls slut shame other girls as well

My opinion is superior and only correct way of thinking period. Period. :^)
Come on.

>they didn't feel the sensation they expected from talking to a woman.
Even though my desire for someone to love is insanely high I think this stopped me from asking out and flirting with a girl who seemed interested in me while talking. There was nothing outwardly striking or beautiful about her either besides her hair that she put in an ugly tie. I would had never approached her if she didn't make the first move.

Robots like me are destined to be alone forever, aren't they?

Meant to write settle down.
If you're content with temporary relationships with bottom of the barrel dregs then good for you.

>>34164784
Act like women have to date down. It's really not that hard to get a bf. Especially if you're not ugly.
