    So note a few things:

    1. Alienation does drive people nuts. That has nothing to do with romantic fulfilment.
    2. Socializing isn’t romantic fulfilment, and it’s a little funny of you to bring up the former as a defense to why anyone deserves the latter
    3. Complaining about being trapped in a sense of unfulfillment is a non sequitur. What are you talking about? If you’re so unfulfilled romantically that you’d rather kill yourself than treat women as equals? Sorry not sorry, some cases of terminal unfulfillment are fine, if the only cause is being a shit person. Be better.

    That, and I think a lot of people confuse sexual attraction with love. The “friendzone” only exists when you end up in the mental gap between “I want to have sex with this person, but don’t care about them as a person” and “I want to have sex with this person, therefore I must care about them as a person.” Normal consenting adults can meet someone, vibe, and engage in sexual behavior without necessarily more. Normal consenting adults can also meet someone, not vibe, and be fine, if not a little disappointed. Normal consenting adults can also meet someone, vibe, and explore a romantic connection beyond sexual activity. Once you understand that sexual desire is not romantic desire, and that romantic desire is actually really unfulfilling if not reciprocated, you’re usually good.
