It sucks because it's such an easy thing to fall into, if you're impressionable, young, and got rejected by girls a couple of times. It's so tantalizing to be able to put all the onus on the girls that rejected you for "legitimate reasons" that get constructed and seem reasonable when you're in that vulnerable position. They don't like nice guys, they only go for ripped jerks, they don't like nerdy things like videogames! You don't have to put any of the blame on yourself, ever, and holy shit that probably feels good. I shudder to think about how close I was to that particular sun, Icarus-style. But if you fly too close to it you're an asshole and your wings probably deserved to be burnt off anyways.
