I know we said avoid crime or whatever, but he could for sure use that mind-control device (or whatever it was) for some serious financial gain.

This is exactly it. Meetup seems to be one of the better (or at least more recognised) platforms for this and it still comes with a host of logistical problems you have to solve yourself.
I commend you for giving it a go and I really hope it works out! People like you are keeping communities alive 🙂

You've made a bit of an extreme argument here- indifference to a partner is very different from indifference to a stranger, but you're right that indifference is only slightly better than malice.
I'm not expecting anyone to go out of their way, but a little sympathy would make a big difference.

Hear, hear, buddy. I'm in the UK, which also has a pretty poor track record for this stuff (we've only just included "more mental health support" in the "reduce unemployment" plans), and I still feel sorry for you guys.

That means they were things you couldn't abide by, which is honestly probably the best way to have approached those situations.
lmao, I don't see too many people being malicious about it, mostly just a lot of indifference

I've also done that, putting effort into specifically finding a partner feels very degrading, but not putting effort into it reduces those opportunities. I'm currently trying to find that balance between giving myself opportunities and not being made absolutely miserable by the process. It's tricky.

You might feel it 'just happened' but you've also listed several things you were doing to improve your opportunities, even by accident. Working out, eating better, even just talking to people on forums improves your communication skills.

Funnily enough I think a lot of people will say they met their partner through "luck" or "chance" (or words to that effect) and they miss the effort they themselves put it to have those chances.

Of course! You're never going to beat loneliness sat alone feeling sorry for yourself.
Though I think there are plenty of people who do make an effort but things don't work out for whatever reason, and after a few attempts it's easy to think the effort isn't making any difference, so why try at all?

Nice one dude 🙂
Though it is a little ironic that in a thread about the internet making it harder to meet people, you met your partner online 😅

How did you meet your fiance?
I'm asking because I think a lot of guys stay in that pipeline because they don't have anyone to pull them out of it, and 'we need more ability to meet people' was where this started.

This is why so many of these bad actors are so popular. They speak to their concerns and give them potential (albeit incorrect) solutions, rather than just expecting them to get on with it.
We don't just need people telling men it's ok to cry, we need people SHOWING men it's ok to cry.

The internet is a wonderful tool, and I am a bit of a hypocrite in that one of my main hobbies is making stuff online, but there is a real problem with many spaces (especially social media) trying to replace the in-person experience and that is where the line needs to be drawn.
comment in response to
post
I would still recommend trying to find these spaces if you are experiencing loneliness, but the vocal minority making the argument "just go outside lol" are kind of missing the point. Or they got super lucky with a hobby group near them, because I have to travel about an hour each way to get to one.

"Start your own group then" also isn't a great solution. The organisational cost (time & money) of doing that is a big commitment when you just wanted as a casual way to meet people.
Plus finding a critical mass of attendees to make it worthwhile is much harder due to the aforementioned move online.
comment in response to
post
The internet is a big problem here, you can't just "go out and meet people" because so many things which would have been fun hobby groups have instead moved online. These groups do still exist physically, but they're much fewer and far between so the effort to attend them is much greater.

Do women not also experience loneliness?
There is a significant problem that certain bad actors are praying on lonely men (there might be similar bad actors for lonely women, but they're certainly much less prevalent), but I think we have a loneliness pandemic generally.

But the party thought "adventure!" should be enough. After a bit of nobody taking the hint, the monestary monks literally kicked me out, at which point the tables flipped. "so why should we let you join our party?"😂
We ended up having a blast, but it was a very funny almost missed call to adventure.

I once joined mid-campaign at a monetary for beer and pancakes, my character was like "why would I ever want to leave? Free beer and pancakes!" (I was not a member of the monestary, just freeloading).
I just wanted something like "the treasure we find will buy ALL SORTS of food!"

This is arguably true of most politicians

I'm honestly surprised he hasn't resigned yet. He resigned from the last 2 political stunts which went vaguely well for him, I figured as soon as he won that seat he would hand it off to someone else to avoid ever taking any f***ing responsibility for anything he does.

I saw this earlier and genuinely assumed this was a parody account. I'm so sorry.

For the record, I'm happy either way. (and I know this whole post is low hanging fruit, but I think I'm actually on to something here)

I mean, either any movie set at Christmas is a Christmas movie, or only movies whose main plot revolves around Santa or the Christmas story are Christmas movies.
Ergo, if Die Hard isn't a Christmas movie, none of those Hallmark romcoms are either.

I have some terrible news for you about the socio-economic system we live in.
