It’s time to call you all out (26M, last old school friend here)

This is a graveyard for making real friends, and if you have actively been trying to make friends on here, you will understand what I mean. Most of you on here are just lurkers, either doing that out of curiosity or because you’re looking for Princess Charming or Miss USA that will check all the points you’ve made on your "shopping list". And the lack of effort? It’s really shocking how little you put in and how much you expect from the other party. I’ve been posting on here for a week, all honest and straight to the point friend requests, and I only received like 2 messages that went something like "hey, hi, hello." That definitely sounds like good effort, wouldn’t you say (sarcasm intended)? The girls on here want to be treated with respect, even thought they disrespect every man on here by assuming he is a creep or stalker from the get-go. Thinking all men on here are only interested in getting into their pants. I will say to you if you’re a girl and reading this, that I am not sorry at all. Not sorry for what other guys have done to you. And it isn’t because I am ignorant of what other guys do, but because I am my own person, and have the courage to stand up for what I am as an individual, with some semblance of self-respect and honour. And to the guys, lower your expectations of people in general. Girls won’t give you their n*des just because you are good looking or because you treat them nice. And they shouldn’t! Feel some respect for others and for yourself. N*duty with no emotional connection is like p*rn. An empty promise with no future. It’s better to realize this before it is too late.

And yes, I am interested in making friends on here, but only with people who know what they want and are willing to fight for it. Convince me to be your friend who sticks by for years. Make an attempt to connect with me, and treat friendship like something you actually care about, instead of a pastime you use to fill your empty time. If you ever feel lonely in life, because you feel like you don’t have real friends, remember that there were people like me who reached out their hand to you, but you rejected it, either out of fear or arrogance, believing you deserved someone better, who in fact never existed in the first place. You want a friend? Do you really WANT a friend? Then show it. Then actually reach out to strangers on Reddit and put effort into it. Don’t blame anyone but yourself for your loneliness. You gave up on people (men, women) and so along with that com consequences. Take responsibility. And actually take a shot in the dark sometimes.
