It does and it indicates that any conversation on the subject is better left "Unsaid".

I tried reading it with the word "celebrity" instead of "celibacy" but it still didn't make any more sense.

There was also "about American" which MAYBE was supposed to be "about America" but when you have to translate that much, but sometimes one is better off not even trying to translate.

Just in case your not winding me up. I could not fit the whole title into the box, thus it was continued, underneath. So it should read

The strange connection between endless rants about American politics and unwanted celibacy

I mean it really is quite bizarre, I came to this site, in the hope of finding a date. I have had no luck whatsoever. Should I ever get a 1 on the little envelope message. I already know that its a nudge from somebody in Hawaii. I have to click on it, then click on their profile, which I don't want to do. Just to make the 1, go away, in some lame hope, that the next time it is a 1, that it could actually be, a potential date.
I fuc$¥€∆π hate politics, yet I am drawn to the forums, through a mixture of complete boredom and hope, and am thus, then drawn into all manner of rants, this being 1, I suppose, in some bizzare and futile bid to get somebody else to somehow have an epiphany, and all of a sudden have a diametrically opposed view, to the 1 which they currently foster.
I mean for the love of God, why?
Some people, will always love Trump.
Some people, will always hate him
Neither is likely to agree, or somehow change their mind.
This then ultimately descends into sniping, even if some rationale points are made.
I mean I'm sorry, I know I'm going on a bit. But am I the only 1, who finds this completely ridiculous and a waste of time and energy.
And I can already hear a voice say, well you don't have to be here, do you, if you don't like it, go somewhere else. But quit whining.
And I have to accept, that they do have a point.
Am I mad? Banging my head against a brick wall?
Or am I living in hope, that perhaps, this may change?
Right now, I honestly do not know
But there are lord knows, how many subjects, we could discuss. Yet the same topics, which you could count on 1 hand, are rehashed, over, and over, and over again.
Are we in a black hole?

Dude, if you are a Trump supporter, you should be having LOTS of luck, as those are the only guys that message me spontaneously (other then scanmers) to tell me what a horrible person I am because *I* don't..noway

Maybe it has to do with region, but...Trump supporters of both sexes are everywhere here... frown

My Grandad always did say that gentleman were a dying breed, and that there were few of us left, and that he hoped and thought I'd be 1

R2, I find that on the boards, the greatest majority who post are the ones with the strongest held opinions, and there is not much that changes them. However, there is an abundance of information in between the lines that may spark interest in things we might otherwise not think about. Many of these posts have inspired me to research and come away knowing something more than I had. Then there are also the thousands who dont want to participate in childish sniping, but still read the threads. They potentially are having their interests peaked to read and discover more about different topics too.

So, I have also been tired of the childish parts and seemingly endless back and forth, but then I have also been more informed of things by mere curiosity of wanting to find out more on what someone has posted.

As always msharmony, you raise a good and fair point, which while I agree with you. The question still sort of remains. I assume the answer would be that the majority of people here are American, and enjoy discussing politics . The question being why always American politics? I mean in fairness i don't really care for British politics either, or any other sort for that matter. When was the last time you read on here about say, Australian politics for example, or countless other countries. I know nothing about Australian politics, that may actually peak my interest for a short time, in the hope of learning something.
And also largely the point still remains...why always politics?? Aaarrrggghhh

I watch *other* news....DeutscheWelle...France24....BBC World...

It's amamzing what we don't hear about here in this country that goes on all over the planet..

I had one dimwit tell me years ago he didn't care about "all that"..because he didn't,live over there and therefore it didn't affect him...noway

Whatever.

You'll have to deal with it as best as you can. I chucked the whole mess of dating several years ago. Most, I found were looking for men with money, and have some sort of social status. Then, be their "end all", ready to entertain them as they saw fit.

Once I let it go, life got easier. Pleasing me is easy. I don't have to keep up with anybody. I can come and go as please. I do things I want to do. Anytime I've had a chance to date, I've asked myself if I want to re-enter that rat race. And everytime, it's been no.

Lol...I'm sorry for laughing... So I sort of know why I put up with this s×∆π but I have no clue, why you do
I mean the internet is not really my thing, but I'm pretty sure that there's chat rooms somewhere. Maybe even some that have escaped the black hole

R2d2r2d2..

If you are referring to that whole "Incel" thing....that's funny..

Guys who blame various things for the fact they aren't getting laid/ what they deem is their fair share of p****...
(NOT sayng this is you, not at all...this is just a generality..the *generic* *you*..)

If you read their stuff, they are as a group hateful, mean-spirited, entitled (dude, no one OWES you p****, regardless of what you think)...and generally not very nice..

Of course, they all *claim* to be nice guys..which all those "b*****" are passing over for the "bad boys"...
(another crock 'o shite..)

Instead of looking at themselves, and seeing if maybe *they* are the problem.

If it is *truly* about an ideological difference...then quit going after women who are you opposite in that regard...
If she's a Green Party member...and you are a Trump supporter, don't waste your time...there's plenty of women out there who are of your "persuasion"...focus on them..

Women have a hard time meeting men too..so, quit yer cryin'...

I've never heard of an incel. I had to look that up.
I did sort of mean in tongue in cheek, but also seriously too.
I know things affect both men and women.
I actually did mean, that it is bizarre, and ironic.
Frankly I think I have abandoned all hope of ever getting a date here. Whilst I still do find myself, nudging myself to fan the flame of the hope, for reasons I'm not entirely sure of.
And I'd find any romantic partner, or in fact anybody full stop, extremely boring if all they wanted to do was dribble on about bloody politics all the time.
Have you ever seen the comedy program, yes minister?
That's taught me all I need to know about politics

' So I hear you were trying for a date last night'
Yeah
How'd it go?
Oh, not so great
Why, what happened
Well I didn't get 1, and instead ended up talking about Donald Trump all night
Sounds great lol
Groan
Are you going back
Probably
Why? Have you gone mad?
Possibly

I don't mind annoying people, read that how you may, other wise I certainly would not be on here.
