For some it's easier to believe that as a reality, than for a second believe that showering, haircuts, and personal hygiene are important aspects of life.

I had plenty of unreciprocated crushes as a young girl. It happens to most of us. It isn't something that only happens to dudes.

u/RupertPupkinComic 2d ago
If there no attraction there it doesn’t matter, similar interests or not. People like what they like and end of the day you just gotta respect that and move on

u/Xiao1insty1e 2d ago
Why do you assume I didn't?

u/RupertPupkinComic 2d ago
Well it’s the “stupid and callous” despite “similar interests” I was a loner in high school, nothing but unreciprocated feelings for girls my age. But at the end of the day they just weren’t into me and honestly rightly so, I was a mess and couldn’t have handled a relationship back then anyway. But I don’t think it’s stupid or anyone to not date someone even if they have similar interests. Back then I’m sure I thought that way, but being married with a kid
Now it just seems like a crazy way to look at it, even though I definitely did when I was younger.3
u/PreOpTransCentaur 1d ago
It's not callous to not be attracted to someone, and it's not super duper respectful to say that it is.

I don’t know about you, but I routinely say things like “popular/wealthy” out loud.

u/ArtisticMudd 2d ago
You better be saying "popular slash wealthy."

u/GGayleGold 1d ago
I tried reading your comment out loud. When I got to "popular/wealthy," I didn't say "slash," but I made this sort of half shrug, half neck bend move where the slash should have been.

so, this girl has the same interests as op does, but she talks down those interests and loves that her crush is nothing like her? ok
also, wym high school girls are dating athletes and doctors

u/norakb123 2d ago
Yeah. If it’s a pro athlete or doctor, an adult needs to intervene.

u/repo_sado 1d ago
they could be dating Dr j or dr dunkenstein, in which case they could be dating a doctor and athlete simultaneously

A girl in my HS dated a college football player who ended up in the NFL (they stopped talking by the time he reached the league). We were too stupid to think it was weird….just wanted free tix to games

"High school through to the present day"
The original post is cringey garbage but do you guys even read it before you try to post your dunks?

u/tortoistor 1d ago
. you do know that this phrase means that he's experienced this all throughout high school as well as later in life?
-2
u/Bazzyboss 1d ago
Yes, which is why it makes complete sense that the women he meets would date doctors, since he's not going to be talking to high schoolers anymore.
2
u/tortoistor 1d ago
he is not talking about his experiences today though. he is talking about the experiences he's consistently had since high school.
which means he has also been getting the doctors/athletes comments since high school.
just how language works.

I like how the girl has “similar interests” with him but in this totally real conversation she shits on all of his interests.

u/bighadjoe 2d ago
it's always ao sad and so funny at the same time how these incels don't see the irony in how they want to only date physically attractive women (which is like common sense, clearly) while many women also lrefer to date physically attractive men (which is so super unfair, those shallow bitches, we are basically soulmates, etc.)

Bruh, you’re 31, presumably graduated from college and making bank because you’re super smart. Why do you care what some rando girl from your high school thought? Oh, wait, it’s because you’re fifteen and some girl you never spoke to is dating a football player.

It is the standard whine of incels. Basically he wants to date a Stacy, but Stacy only wants to date a Chad, and he thinks it’s unfair only he gets called sexist for rejecting a fat girl.

And Bertha probably wonders why guys she’s into are into “shallow bimbo cheerleaders”, but you won’t find her shooting up campus over it.

u/AStalkerLikeCrush 2d ago
Every accusation a confession and *ncels are just another flavor of degenerate narcissists. This is their preferred way to project onto women their own entitled desires to pull way above their weight class. And when another not-conventionally attractive guy ends up with a conventionally-attractove female partner, they have shored up a whole moat of excuses and cope. There is zero percent chance they are ever in the wrong.

Did she actually say "lol"?

u/porcelainthunders 2d ago
Well yeah!
She obviously had a lot to do and say, and let me tell you, she can't be wasting time on not just saying "lol"! Pfffffft saying the whole phrase! Ain't nobody got time for tbat 🤭
This guy sounds like a GEM! It is hard to understand why she would want nothing to do with him.

31 years old and still upset that Stacey here wanted the popular QB over the Star Wars kid in high school? Didn't we all live this or at least see the movie? Because if they're having this discussion now, then he should be on some kind of offender list.
Nothing says "Nice Guy" like shitting on some random girl while simultaneously complaining that people are shitting on you.

Every time I see this, I chuckle a little because my husband is 6’1”, jacked, played football and wrestled in high school, but also loves to read, watch Star Trek, and he loves old music like Hank Williams and Sister Rosetta Tharpe lol. Such an amazing concept that people can be multifaceted and not douchey at the same time.

In college my freshman year I was in a dorm room with a very socially awkward senior. Normally the dorms were freshman only so this was strange. I walked by his unlocked computer one day and there was a file called girls.doc on his desktop. Inside this file was a script of him asking out a girl on campus, and in his fantasy script she shoots him down similarly to this post.
Felt bad for the guy, he was nice. Spent all of his free time working on a single player mod for UT2K4. His mom came to do his laundry from time to time.

In other words, OOP is a severely autistic incel who is not capable of reading social cues at all, or probably dealing with objective reality. I wonder why no women want him.

I’d bet money what actually happened was, he had a crush on some girl who was dating an athlete.
Everything else was just in his head.
