Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Unironically yes, they are. Whose else do you think it could even possibly be?
I mean... the definition of a relationship is that there's another person to have a relationship with. So probably that one.
I think the point you're missing is that the requirement here was stated as "as long as you're not an insufferable person, you will get sex", which is blatantly false. You can be perfectly pleasant and never "get sex".
My approach is to trust their lived experience. They are frustrated. If someone applies to 100 jobs, and only gets scam offers and ghosted by businesses, I don't tell them how they just need to smile more authentically.
It could be no one's fault. This is the most common culprit for most peoples' misfortune.
Of course, if they want their situation to change, it is only within this person's purvue to change their situation. But fault? Not necessarily theirs, at least.
What an unempathetic take. It doesn't have to be anyone's 'fault', although I'd say it's largely society's fault if there's any blame to be had.
Obviously the other person, duh
It's my fault. I placed a curse on them. Not even for any reason, I was just practicing
Capitalism. No i will not explain further.
