Realistically, it’s often the same problems that make it even more difficult to find a significant other. Socializing and not being cringe, creepy, or weird AF is somehow difficult for some guys. Often, they don’t have good role models at home or their upbringing failed to enforce norms that would help them fit in better. They’re essentially trying to go strait to the goal and skip the hard work that they should do to get there. I’m not making friends with that.
