For the most I think socialising and all of its discontents are widely overrated. But one of the main reasons I no longer actively socialise is because I find that most humans are so utterly disappointing. This isn't to say they are bad people - I don't think all people are evil or anything like that - but I find that people can either be too 'flakey' or just not all that fun to spend too much time with.

I do have friends, many on facebook, and probably around four that I would consider real friends who I could call up and hang out with and not feel uncomfortable. But I find that I'm happy just seeing them all once every few months and that is more than enough.

I used to get my socialising fix from dating, but now I don't do that so much anymore I now get satisfaction out of fitness, reading, writing, films, and sharing memes on here.

I post this because I get the sense that I'm not alone in thinking this. Most of us wouldn't admit on social media that we don't have friends or we don't want friends but I think it could make an interesting discussion here. Because I've noticed some of you, much like me, end up spending half the day online here - which leads me to believe that there are many others on here who live on ghost mode and refuse to socialise like we are expected to do.

Thoughts?
As I've gotten older, I've just learned to be more careful with my time. We only have a limited amount of it and I want to make sure I use it right. One of the attractions of this forum for me is that it kills several birds with one stone: first, it gives me a social life, second, it broadens my knowledge of hair loss and other medical issues as well as indulging my interest in loveshyness/social and romantic failure etc. Thirdly, it improves my writing. At best, I can only get the first thing from socialising in real life. And even then, the quality of the banter etc. Is often lower than it is from the best users on hairlosstalk. There's also the bonus of not having to show my face and being judged solely on my writing/what I post rather than how well sculpted my jawline is.

I think that hardcore lookist incels are lowkey bisexual. They are more interested in gay looking fish faced alien models than girls are.
Maybe in some cases, but definitely not all. I'm very straight, but aesthetically, I can definitely appreciate a good male face. There's no sexual attraction, but I get enjoyment from looking at a picture of, say, Sean O'Pry. I appreciate the beauty abstractly, not sexually. It wouldn't surprise me that many others were the same.

O'Pry looks awkward to me though, like a beautiful socially challenged man. I guess that I can appreciate the looks of a man who gives a little more of an intimidating vibe while still having an aesthetic look, like Tom Hardy or Logan Marshall Green. Then again, it's probably bc I see a little bit of myself in them and ppl are generally gravitated towards ppl who remind them of themselves.
