It's a great vent and i have nothing but respect for you or it.
Manhattan is a ******.
I moved from NY to FL 5 years ago and its ONLY been in the past 6 monthes that i have FINALLY made a few friends. I thought i was a leper the way I was ignored by everyone everywhere i went to try to meet people. It was so much easier when I was younger as you were saying.
Its a shame: soft doughy men are a dime a dozen lol. (sorry- couldnt help myself) just want you to know i understand the frustration.
