I

he is older than me

how does he not know what an incel is

men are so sheltered from the shitty things men do

I love him to pieces, but this particular fried of mine I am genuinely surprised hasn't seriously harmed himself by accidentally doing something stupid

if he was a D&D character he'd have moderately high intelligence and - wisdom

0*

he is generally clueless about shit that stun the rest of us (ex. he just finally got a smart phone like 3 years ago and barely knows how to use it. He is in his late 30s.)

I once spent a weekend trying to explain to him that he does not need to buy a new digital camera (the point and click ones that were popular in the early 00s) or a new GPS (like the Garmin one) and that his phone could do those things better than both his current camera and GPS, and he did not understand

like, not the obtuse being annoying not understanding. I mean genuinely did not get it

but he also lives on the internet.... so I thought he somehow learned about incels already

Also, I'm reading that Ace book you told me about and in one chapter it talks about guys who are Incels. I've never heard that before, but from what it says it seems to apply to more violent versions of "nice guys." Is that right?

(he is also Ace)

See, I would have gotten not knowing about them at all... until you mentioned the "lives on the internet" bit.

in college i had to explain to my boyfriend why pickup artistry is bad

how in chaos' name...?

JulyFlame: yeah if he wasn't on the internet I'd give him a pass
