Alright. This is where I am putting a thought out response to your TFL videos. No harassing, no name calling, just serious talk. I encourage other people to do the same.

----------------------------

Alright. So since you took the time to give us a piece of your mind, I figured I'd take this chance to be frank.

While I completely understand your movement and what it is trying to do, and truly feel sorry that you are so lonely, I just don't agree with TFL. I'm not stupid, childish, closed minded, or anything of that sort, but it just doesn't make sense to me. Sure, I've felt lonely also, and it's no good. But I truly believe that, within reason, no one is forced to do something unless they let it happen. You are lonely because you are leting yourself be lonely.

You can't possibly deduce that from a few bad experiences with dating websites, you are destined to a life of solitude. Do you know something? For every success story you see on eHarmony commercials with the shitty music, there are probably millions of failures. Millions of connections that just aren't made. Millions of guys snubbed by woman. And MILLIONS OF WOMEN SNUBBED BY GUYS. It's not as if men are the only "victims" here. And you know what, that's to be expected. Our culture is extremely superficial, for better or worse. People are quick to make judgments about others based solely on a few criteria, which you rightfully point out. Still, that doesn't mean everyone does. If you truly wanted to, I bet you could leave your house and go find someone that genuinely cares about you. That person is out there... but you are not going to find her by sitting behind a computer screen posting videos blaming women for your loneliness.

Now, in your video you said that I took things out of context regarding my thoughts on Bill... I did nothing of the sort. He clearly is in a rough spot and is not happy, but that is NOT an excuse for making creepy comments about taking pleasure in seeing a story about a murdered woman, or saying woman shouldn't be shocked when they get murdered, or that a murdered woman has it better than a lonely guy. I'd like to hear how you think I am taking any of that out of context. You are right, I don't know him -- He might be a loving father, and a great guy. AND LIKE I MENTIONED AS WELL, I feel bad for him. Still his loneliness does not give him the right to say fucked up stuff about women.

So, to sum up -

1.) I am sorry you and Bill and Steve are so lonely, but -

2.) It is partially self inflicted. While it might suck, you would be well served by at least going out into the world and trying to find that special someone, because

3.) You can't use bad experiences from dating websites as barometers of women's psyche and motivation as a whole. All women do not have some coordinated plan to screw you and your friends over.

4.) EVERYONE IS SUPERFICIAL, at least to some degree. But don't let that stop you. If you are truly lonely, go out into the world knowing that there are a ton of people who are less superficial that others, and that WILL like you.

5.) Bill might not actually be a serial killer, but his comments in that one video are genuinely disturbing. And for the record, I never called him a hick, illiterate, or said he should have his child taken away from him.

Well, that's that. I hope you'll gather form this that I am not childish or stupid. I hope you consider my opinions just as I have considered yours.

Take it easy.
