all of those options are prohibitively expensive especially just to go somewhere I'll have a boring and miserable experience
Do you live in the sticks or something? There's no town center nearby? Taxi? Uber? How do you consider those "prohibitively expensive"?
I don't really have any friends I know in person
Again, not a normal thing. Having actual IRL friends is crucial to a social life. This is also what's hurting you.
You're relying on your parents entirely and it's why you can't actually meet someone. I remember you telling me that your parents set you up with someone and you spent the whole time looking at the floor because you were afraid of saying something awkward. This is why I'm saying you're not normal. This is what prevents women from actually wanting to engage with you.
I've never looked at the prices for a taxi or uber but I can't imagine they're affordable
You seem to show a pattern of just believing something without ever doing any research to see if it's true. Again, not normal, but also not smart.
I currently try to keep my non-essential non-food related expenses at around $25 per month
That's loooooooow my dude. Incredibly low. Beyond broke.
But also, you still didn't answer my main question: Do you live in the sticks? Is there not a closeby area where people socialize? Unless you're way out in the boonies, I can't imagine a cab ride costing more than $15
What is there to even do IRL with friends?
Fucking anything lol.
Go to a bar, go on a walk, get ice cream, play a board game, hang out and watch TV, go to a museum, go to an art gallery, get a coffee, explore some urban area you haven't seen yet, see a local band putting on a show.
(Most of these things can be cheap and even free)
Obviously I'm relying on my parents, what else am I meant to do?
Grow up and do something on your own? You're talking like you're 13. Are you an adult?
There really isn't much for two unknown people to engage each other with
It seems you don't want to engage with people at all. This is how people meet. This is how normal people talk and interact. They get to know one another by talking and asking questions.
I am very cheap so it doesn't take much for me to decide something costs more than I'd want to spend, I don't need to know an exact price.
You don't know what the price is at all. That's my point.
that was just an example for the level of spending I engage in as a baseline.
That's a shame. Experiences are what shape you, and actually bring real intelligence. Sitting in your little cave at your mom's house gives you that limited worldview, so you spend your time sulking and believing "I could be great if only this this and this" when in reality, you wouldn't be. You can't be. Because you don't do anything. You bring no value.
You're a bump on a log.
The food and drinks are cheaper at home as well.
I mean yeah the mac and cheese and dino nuggies your mommy makes you before tucking you in is definitely gonna be cheaper, but unless you're 13 it's pathetic. This is why you don't get the attention you think you deserve.
I just don't see what there is to do outside that's not just a worse version of what I have at home.
Because all you do is cling to your thoughts and imaginations instead of actually experiencing it for yourself.
Have you ever left your town? Your city? Your state? Your country? Have you ever actually experienced anything beyond getting your diapers changed?
it's awkward, cumbersome and generally unfruitful in person when attempting to socialize.
Yep! Socializing in person can be awkward and cumbersome for most people! And then, over time, they learn how to figure it out because they don't get scared by a tiny wittle bit of embarassment.
Shit happens dude. You deal with it and keep growing.
Well, the rest of us do. You choose to shy away and be mad at everyone and think that somehow you're some great guy who should be given a chance when, by literally your own words, you're just a sit-at-home do-nothing who has no desires, no passions, no dreams, and nothing to talk about
So, circling back to my original question, why the fuck would any woman ever have any interest spending time with a loser like that?
Get off your sweaty ass and do something for yourself instead of begging mommy and daddy to do it for you. Go on a walk and look at the sky for once. Go birdwatching. Skip rocks in a lake. Get some sun for god's sake
Mmmm...it's pretty clear.
Great, exactly my point
