Another one bites the dust!
I'm tickled pink. This isn't "incel tears" unless you count ones of happiness.
Another of "my lads" was successful in the world of dating.
It was all him. I didn't do anything at all but provide what I call "Dumbo's Magic Feather." Like most lads, he was scared and thought the whole thing had to do with his looks. He did a whole lotta "mean ole' 'chad' wouldn't have to jump through hoops" BS.
A lot of griping about how unfair it all was, etc. But the thing about him that is different, is that he was willing to listen. Argue, debate like hell sometimes, but to talk it out.
He also, despite a lot of social anxiety, was willing to keep trying. Well, he met a girl, they woo-hooed, and are going to continue dating, so far.
To the lurkers, it can be done. This young man did it all on his own. Despite the same sorts of frustrations and bad intel from the manosphere, he kept on trying anyway and he met a girl that is right for him.
