Don't you think you do a little too much alone stuff, Sup Forums? Also lose the sword

Don't you think you do a little too much alone stuff, Sup Forums? Also lose the sword.

When you were dating Penny from Inspector Gadget, I studied the blade.

that's not how you pronounce sword

What? Then how do you pronounce it?

"Sword".

OH!

Oh...

>Girl is clearly Penny Gadget

His alone stuff is terabytes of child pornography.

Wait, seriously? I've always said it as "sword".

nothing wrong with drawing children user

I've heard it both ways.

I've found this is actually the opposite of reality. When you change your persona to accomodate a partner, especially when you just start a relationship, more often than not they'll think you're a weak person who can't live without them and doesn't have an actual goal in life, so they drop you. If you're actually self confident, self actualized, and don't worry about appeasing others, you actually attract a ton more people into your life because they see you as a winner.

Its the curse, you can go your whole life a sad virgin who desperately wants pussy and never gets it, but the moment you start focusing on yourself and not giving a shit about women and actively don't want a relationship, that's when thots crawl onto your dick.

...

>Also lose the sword.
Come take it from me.

I literally do not get the message of this strip.
Are you supposed to spend most of your free time doing "not alone stuff" BEFORE you invite other people to spend free time with you? That doesn't make sense at all. Of course you're going to favor "alone stuff" when you really are alone! Some activities that require other people are by necessity going to be a large part of your life ONLY AFTER you get other people involved.
What are you supposed to do, spend time on group activities without a group? Then it's not a group activity. For example, you can't really play competitive team sports like football alone, you need teammates and an opposing team. There is necessarily a time in your life when you haven't played football before and you want to start so you're looking for a team to join.
It's the "you need experience to get a job to get experience to get a job" paradox applied to hobbies.

Fuck off I'll find someone to do alone stuff with.

Yeah, I even study real photos to get guder.

what the fuck is alone stuff?

Nope. The sword is there for my interest in HEMA.

As for the other half of the statement, I do not. I socialize regularly, and half the time the "alone stuff" is bonded over with fellow enthusiasts for it.
Least of all Penny.

Absolutely laconc

That's only in England.

Finally, someone else who gets it.

Get out of my light, I'm shaving a chicken

It's depressing that someone thought that this was making a good point. I'd rather be single than build 90+% of my personality towards pleasing others.

People are annoying. I don't even know any of you and I already hope that at least half you gets hit by a truck. Physical contact would only make it fucking worse.

How many things can't be enjoyed with another person? I seriously can't think of something.

You're looking at it wrong.

If you change yourself to conform to a new partner without a long term back and forth and growth between the two of you... yeah it's not healthy. You have a weak persona or whatever.

HOWEVER... the comic doesn't need to be interpreted as that. In high school I was very into my "personal stuff". I didn't really care about how I presented myself to others, and I was super rigid in expecting others to conform to me. Stupid teenager stuff.

Then I got older. I got into medical school. I chilled out. I improved myself and actually worked to improve my standing/presentation to others. Shaped it into a... couch? I dunno, whatever the comic is going for. I kinda realized that I was factoring in "becoming someone others want to be with" in my development. Go to the gym. Take up hobbies that you can share with others. Build life experiences that you can connect with others.

General stuff. A human who doesn't change is boring and a dead end as far as relationships go. A human who changes too quickly for you is clingy and needy. A man or woman who changes themselves for themselves and becomes desirable as a result is doing it right.

Blog post over.

>Behold, a man in a can

He's not Laconic, he's Attic.

...

Pretty sure they're talking about how your life, house, and/or room is a reflection of you and if you're looking to put yourself on the market, try to be marketable. Forming a couple means not just making room for someone else, but having room for someone else.

Fuck off, snowflake.

Well now I feel like a fool

>Take up hobbies that you can share with others.

YES. FUCKING THIS. This goes for us girls too. I've got a friend bemoaning her single life when the only hobbies she has is tv watching, book reading and gym classes with her other girlfriends. She's not out there doing anything (even join a fuckin book club or an internet forum about your fave tv shows, goddamn) to connect with others. Make a fucking effort people. I'm not saying get into shit you're not into, but at least find ways to connect with people who also do like the shit you do solo.

...

Without my alone stuff, I'm horrifically bland

what's a good list of vagina approved hobbies for self conscious adult men?

Somehow, even though I agree with what you say, how you word things makes me want to cum in every cantaloupe you will ever eat out of disgust.

There are no hobbies you can't share with other people though.

Cleaning the house while she leaves a fucking mess.

>stuck in Kamloops for 2 years doing fuck all
>get back into MTG
>haven't stopped since

there's a reason board games are having a massive resurgence. Hobbies that force you to get out of the house and talk to people face to face are a great way to make friends.

"Darling, I love to go out at night when you fall asleep and dismember hobos with an axe in the name of Satan"

Perhaps it's obvious those people are speaking from experience ("this guy fucks") and you hate that because it reflects on your solo career as a cantaloupe fucker?

Oh god. You're probably unironically correct.
My sisters are such fucking slobs.

sports
literary fiction
interior design and real estate

>You suck at this you fucking faggot, kill yourself.
>constant (sometimes physical) fights
Yeah, good way to make friends.

Cave Explorer!

>Your dating profile is not working because you are literally posing with a sword in your photo (and yes, I know it's a katana -- I called it a sword just to annoy you). You are posing with a sword (I DID IT AGAIN) in your photo because you have laboriously over-engineered a Single Life for yourself and would now like to shoehorn another person into it in the manner of adding a seventh wheel to one of those stupid six-wheeled cars. Approximately 77 percent of your dating profile is a massive itemized list of your favorite bands and TV shows simply because those are the things that have paired nicely with your aloneness. You're looking for a cheerleader for your big pile of Single Person Stuff, but you have that pile BECAUSE you're single. There's less time for constant sword-polishing (ahem) when you're reconfiguring your day to allow for mutual trust and support with another human being. Your job is not to demand that someone else submit to jackbooted annexation by your single person's empire. You do not want to be the Hitler of relationships. You do not want to be the Hitler of anything. I cannot stress that enough.

Seriously lose the fucking sword

Sure, but some require effort to share. Or are inherently less interactive.

Example: being able to paint well. Sure, you can impress her with it... but sharing it requires she paint or something like that. Or at least have other activities you share. People get bored just looking at impressive things eventually. Dating someone you are in awe off but don't share time with is kinda... I dunno, it veers into trophy wife territory.

Ends with them fucking someone else because they crave actual connection.

>got into art collaboration as a way to make friends
>try dating someone in an art group
>the entire thing collapses into drama
>realize I can't date any cool art girls I'd be meeting in art collaborations because that'd be shitting where you eat in what's basically people trying to be professional
>also realize that people will drop you like a rock the moment you want to be friends over anything except art

I don't know anything else, wat do?

I disagree. It would be far better to include her in your Satanic axe murders because then you're doing it with someone you love.
See, that would be the case if I have only fucked cantaloupes, but it is not the case. Maybe I'm more enraged by the implication that choosing a solitary life and mindset is immature "high school stuff."

Overspecialization man, sounds like a group of people in the second panel of the OP comic.

Still, that's you clearing space. Keep pushing your boundaries and finding more friends and outlets in your life. It also can take time to find people worth dating. If you just need sex in the interim, just get on some dating apps or something.

>interior design
I have met exactly two male interior designers in my life.

They were married to each other.

Well, whatever lifestyle you chose is up to you, free will and all that... but in the sense that anyone can fail, not finding someone to share your life with is failure.

It's just more common in immature people. Not always by choice. A man or woman who chooses solitude isn't really relevant to this thread, because they aren't trying to get people into their life (and failing). They just aren't really trying.

my dick is very confused right now.

What if they have the sword because they actually study martial arts?

Mine isn't

I have books with pictures of diseased genitals because I study medicine, you don't see me putting them on my dating profile

Alas, a Norman like you cannot understand. There are factors beyond your comprehension, anxiety, social ineptitude, autism, self hatred, bipolar disorder, physical disfigurement, and many others that cause joining a group like that to be impossible in the long term. Despair, your false expertise is nothing but a shadow.

Those are things you don't want to share. I'd want to share my passion for history, art, and athleticism inherent in such. Hell, my brother is getting married to a woman who joins in studying/practicing HEMA.

Atleast you got that far. Even if I join groups and am lucky enough to have an actual social aspect to it rather than everyone quietly doing the hobby the group is about, I don't know how to really read social cues or connect.
It's almost always me being alone around other people.

>you can't listen to music with your girlfriend
>you can't watch tv and movies with your girlfriend

i dont understand
fucking explain
THIS SHIT
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS MANIAC SAYING
"SORRY BUDDY BUT MUSIC IS STRICTLY SOMETHING YOU ENJOY ALONE. IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ENJOY MUSIC WITH ANYONE YOU WILL FUCKING DIE"
FUCK YOU
FUCK EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU
I HATE SO GODDAMN MUCH
YOU THINK YOU'RE SO GODDAMN BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE
"UUGGGH WOOOW LOOK AT THIS FUCKING PEASANT HE THINKS HE CAN ENJOY THINGS WITH HIS SIGNIFICANT OTHER I DEDICATE MY ENTIRE LIFE TO SERVING MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER LIKE A BUTLER"
FUCK YOU
I AM SO FUCKING SORRY I WANT A PARTNER TO ENJOY LIFE WITH INSTEAD OF A FUCKING SLAVEMASTER
PEOPLE LIKE THIS RETARD SHOULD BE EXECUTED IN THE MOST PAINFUL POSSIBLE FUCKING WAY
IN FACT THEY SHOULD EXECUTED BY A LOVING COUPLE WHILE THEY ARE ENJOYING THEIR HOBBIES AND INTERESTS TOGETHER
YOU FUCKING THINK YOU'RE SO FUCKING BETTER THAN EVERYONE ELSE YOU FUCKING PRICK

>date girl
>give her list of things we could be doing instead of sitting around watching TV
>says no to everything
>breaks up with me because "We never do anything we just sit around"
>mfw

And then I went on to do my own shit even if some of those are those its kind of weird to do them alone type things but who gives a shit I wanted to do them and I'm not gonna let being alone stop me. She went on to fall for the traveling meme.

That kind of reaction doesn't really help build a positive picture of you.

...

...

Attic? Well, better than being in the basement.

Not in the summer. Gets fuckin' HOT up there.

Just sayin'

>only lonely people listen to music or watch tv

Unironically, TTRPGs. Go to a bookstore, by D&D's DM Guide, PHB, and Monster Manual, then get your friends together.

>UUUGGGHHH I CANT BELIEVE YOU WANT A PARTNER THAT YOU TREAT AS A PERSON INSTEAD OF SOME KIND OF FUCKING GOLDEN GOD WHO HAS NO INTEREST IN THE PETTY INTERESTS OF HUMANS, WHAT A NECKBEARD AM I RIGHT?

If a woman doesn't like and respect me enough to tolerate my hobbies, what else she doesn't respect me enough to do? Abstain from falsely accusing me of rape, or not cucking me and leaving with half of my stuff? Does she respect me at least enough to not abuse me and then threaten to call the police if I try to defend myself?

In a world where no law would defend a man from woman, nothing short of omnipresent unconditional love that would make Jesus seem like a hateful asshole would do.

I don’t understand this metaphor

>stop looking for people who you have things in common with
>make sure to get a girlfriend who is as different from you as possible, not having anything in common will lead to a long, healthy relationship

How am I supposed to do not alone stuff if I don't have any friends?

b-b-but opposites attact, user!
