So the video is just a girl saying “If your homeless, just buy a house” the video isn’t even giving out any tips.

So if OP was saying, “If your single, just get a partner”, then you would be correct. But they are not saying that. They are actually giving useful advice to someone who is new to dating and possibly looking for advice.

Am I wrong? If so, how?

Wait, I think I see what you are getting at. Ok, so when I said:

this thread was initially about how homelessness is the same thing as being single.

This triggered you because you because it wasn’t 100% accurate. It should have been something more like this.

this thread was initially about how homelessness is an analogy for being single.

Ok, yeah, my wording wasn’t 100% clear there. Sorry for the mistake on my part.

Either way it still is a bad analogy.

Mandatory “If you’re homeless just buy a house” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Jh0EN1De4Q

Does this not imply that they were equating being homeless to being single? If it doesn’t what were they saying?

Edit: Seems like this wasn’t their issue, see my other reply.

Do you go on the internet often? All posts are like this. All posts generalize. All posts have a long list of implicit exceptions that are not stated.

Would you get upset about a post that says having bad spelling is a skill issue that could be fixed with practice, even though you appear not to have a skill issue with spelling?

If your answer is yes, then you should get off the internet, it is literally doing damage to you. You are literally jumping in front of bullets that are not meant for you.

How could I have been more clear?

I understand good analogies. This one was a bad.

I never said that.

I have nuance, I have not claimed there were only two emotions. I gave an example of only two emotions. I know there are more than two. I just decided not to write them all out because they are uncountably many of them. That is also why I asked you, what specific emotional problem we are dealing with. So that we could get specific.

I am not saying you WILL get a partner if you work on yourself. I am saying it will increase the possibility of getting a partner if you work on yourself. I am also not saying that getting a partner is completely within your control. There are societal factors that make it hard these days to get a partner.

The problem with “If you don’t want to be homeless just get a job to get money and then rent a place to live” is that it implies you will get a place to live if you get a job. Which is not true.

Can you clarify what the problem is? I am unsure because this thread was initially about how homelessness is the same thing as being single.

Is the problem that people lack social skills so it is hard for them to get a partner? If that is the case, why isn’t social skills in the top five? What are the top five?

Fascinating, you seem to be telling me there is a problem with my though process, but instead of just telling me specifically what it is, you choose to insult me instead of answering my basic questions.

Is this the emotional problem you have?

No, it’s more of “If you want to increase the probability of being in a relationship, you can work on yourself.” energy.

I get it. I have ADHD and Dyslexia. All I need to do is clean my room lol.

I’m not Vreyan31. But I just wanted to pick on this point of yours:

Because these posts lump all men without relationships together.

The thing is all posts lump all things together. Most posts assume they are talking to the average person/situation. It’s not just relationship skill issue posts.

If, for example, someone made a spelling skill issue post. I would agree, even though I am dyslexic and I have bad spelling. Spelling is generally something people can work on to improve. I can work on it for improvement too, but with 100x less return on investment. That is why I don’t practice improving my spelling, it isn’t worth my time as opposed to other tools.

It’s hard to be the non-average person in these posts, so I get it.

The thing is no one can make a relationship skill issue post and list all the exceptions. The post would be 100 pages long.

So you have to ask yourself, is this post really targeting you.

Ok, what is the emotional problem?

For example, if you easily get upset and attack other people for little reason, then who is going to date you?

If it is that you get sad sometimes, lots of people would date you.

No it does, you just can’t read.

What? What is vapid about using time to improve skills?

To me housing means a safe place to sleep.

No it isn’t. For example:

If the original poster said “It’s a skill issue, all you need to get a partner you need to shake their hand”.

And then the imaginary fckreddit was like “I didn’t ask to have no arms. I didn’t ask for an inability to do a shake hands. I can only be me…”

Do you see how it this was not targeting imaginary fckreddit. It can’t be a skill issue on imaginary fckreddit’s part because they have no arms.

Just like it can’t be a skill issue on the real fckreddit’s part because they lack the ability that most people have in that area though no fault of their own.

OP can’t literally specify all the possible exceptions to their advice. The post would be 100 pages.

What I am saying is that your comment here:

“no it’s not about sex guys really they just want close friends and rainbows”

Is not was not the person’s argument. They said:

It’s way more than a sex issue.

Which is what I was calling out in my original reply to you:

They never said it wasn’t about sex.
