You're wearing a fedora right now, aren't you. Come n. Admit it.

of the adults in the lower mainland are married. Not sure where you are getting these statistics. Do you mean in the dating world? Lots more than that are having sex.

Sound like you need sex.

The OP is also ignoring the fact that a very large number of people in the lower mainland are happily single and having a fantastic time!

The 20% of people that the OP refers to are most likely paying for sex.

How's that for a movement? ;-)

What are you talking about? You are trying to sound wise and philosophical but....

Now that's a movement I can get behind. Or in front of. Or on top? Well, whatever, let's do it!

Listen to yourself. You're starting to sound like Elliot Rodger. Look at what happened, and read his manifesto.

--> "Good looking confident people have an unearned advantage over everyone else".

For starters, what the heck is a good looking person? Is this a universal template that everyone is into? Bullshit. Everyone is attracted to different looks and qualities in people. I can assure you that even the most "beautiful" or "good-looking" person will strike out sometimes. Why? Because attraction is based upon way more than just looks, and even then there is tremendous variety in what people find physically attractive. What of women that tend to find smaller, slighter guys attractive? Or men that are attracted to larger women? Do these people constitute what you classify as "good-looking"? Do they have to? Do you have a right to judge them and project your distorted beliefs of attraction on them? I don't think so.

More ominous in this quote is you saying they have an "unearned" advantage over anyone. Unearned how? What of people that had low self-esteem before from bullying, abuse, etc and rose above that to the point where they absolutely shine now? Is that unearned to you? Or are they now conveniently classified as "confident, good-looking people"? Your resentment and entitlement sounds poisonous. Be honest with yourself. Are you the kind of person other people like being around?

--> "...up to you to close this gap by staying fit, getting a good education, getting a job that pays well".

You're assuming that confidence and self-esteem can only be built from exterior/material things, and that self-worth (your own, and other people's)depends on those things. What of loving relationships where one person is significantly less "successful" than the other? Say a struggling musician like me, and my girlfriend, who basically runs her own company?

Let me guess: I'm good-looking and confident? Or she's ugly or otherwise using me? Frankly, I vaguely resemble one of those troll dolls from the 80's, and she could pass for carla gugino. Does this still qualify? Or are you so opposed to believing in love that you will refuse to believe this and come up with excuses and justifications for why this isn't so?

MOUNTAINS WITHOUT ARMS!!

--> "20% of the people get 80% of the sex. This leaves the rest of the 80% fighting for 20% worth of sex".

You know these exact percentages how? Did you conduct a comprehensive national survey about the personal lives of hundreds of thousands of people? Do you have some kind of profound, perverted gift of second sight where you can sense all the sex going on in the lower mainland at all hours of the day? Or are you an angry, virginal, misogynistic, fedora wearing guy that can't look at himself before blaming other people, and imposes his own distorted beliefs on others?

Is sex some kind of commodity or market to you? "NASDAQ went up two points but ooops! Pussy is plummeting..."

Am I to infer that women to you are otherwise the "gatekeepers of sex" that "unfairly control this supply-and-demand" for "true gentlemen that deserve sex from women"? Is everyone in the 80% unfairly fighting for sex? Is this the only reason they're going out and interacting with people (if they go out at all)? Does sex define their self-worth and who they are? Do they "deserve sex and attention from beautiful women", and should women be "throwing themselves at these guys" with no effort from the guy whatsoever except for standing there and being a "true alpha male"?

Well, that's all verbatim from elliot rodgers' manifesto.

Listen buddy, I've had just about every shitty experience known to man short of full-blown war, where people over in the warzones of the middle east or africa for example have it reaaaaaaally shitty. So some have had it better, some have had it worse. But at the end of the day, every single one of us has a reason to be bitter or angry about something, especially where dating is implied here in this post. So, live and let live. I'm guessing you're a guy that maybe experienced bullying at an early age, was a bit on the sensitive and nerdy side, and experienced a lot of isolation, so you retreated into fantasy (books, video games, computer games, etc), and as you experienced rejection, you took it really personally and it hurt, and you felt angry. The angrier you got, the more you drove away people. I've been there mate. I want you to find peace and be happy. But you have to look at yourself first. You are the only common denominator in all of your relationships with people. Learn to connect again.
