the entire time i was in high school they never tried to help find gf or set me up with someone. they never even said anything on prom night when i cried myself to sleep in my room. now that im 25 they suddenly care about me finding a gf and keep telling me to go out and meet people. they don't even have anyone to set me up with though so i think they're just messing with me or something.

They care now because they want you to leave and stop leeching. They don't care about you or your wellbeing but only about themselves.
>>
>>33757647
>they never tried to help find gf or set me up with someone.
In fairness OP...that really wasn't their job. It was yours.
>>
>>33757647
>they don't even have anyone to set me up with though
If they aren't finding you a gf then they have no room to complain. Respect them cause they're your parents, but just ignore them. Boomers gonna boom and all that.
>>
>>33759045
It kinda was though
>>
>>33757647
They thought that you would stop being a loser eventually and figure it out. Now that you’re 25 and haven’t made any progress, they are worried that you’ll be alone forever.
>>
>>33759099
Kek no it wasn't, are you actually mad your mommy didn't get you a girlfriend? Your social life is your responsibility, parents are there to give you advice and money at best, not play fucking matchmaker.
>>
>>33757647
Because they care about you and don't want you to blow your brains out at 30.
They assumed you would just meet girls naturally, but now that you're in your mid-20s, they're giving it more attention.
>>
>>33757647
They also want grandbabies, anon.

your parents are supposedly properly raise you to be sociable so you can make friends and relationships in your teens. you can't just stick your kid in front of the television and pc the whole time and then wonder why he turned out to be a loser.

>>33759492

Sure, but that's not what he said. It's not a parent's job to play matchmaker for their kid.
>you can't just stick your kid in front of the television and pc the whole time and then wonder why he turned out to be a loser.
Agreed, but OP is 25. Once you're an adult, it's up to you. It may not be his fault, but is his responsibility.
>>
>>33759618
And I just deconstructed it. >>33759622
>>
>>33759622
Moms play matchmaker for their sons all the time. Historically parents would trade with other parents so their son could have a wife.
>>
>>33759622
>Once you're an adult, it's up to you.
If parents don't raise their kid to make it own their own they can't be surprised when the kid hasn't made it. Just like you can't be surprised that your dog shits in the house when you haven't potty trained it.
>>
>>33759634
>Historically parents would trade with other parents so their son could have a wife
Anytime you see the word "historically" in this context you know you're in for some massive cope and this post is no exception.
>>
>>33759646
>If parents don't raise their kid to make it own their own they can't be surprised when the kid hasn't made it.
Agreed. OP's parents should not be remotely surprised that their son ended up a loser.
That being said, that still doesn't negate my earlier point. It's still OP's job to fix himself now. He can argue about the fairness of that AFTER it's actually done.
>>
>>33759699
you're the one coping lmao
>>
>>33759703
I don't care about fixing myself though. I'm comfortable being alone and playing vidya. My parents are the ones who want me to go out and make something of myself, despite not giving me the necessary tools to do so when I was younger.

Speech. Can't go out for any hobbies, cant control how i dress, alienated from the few friends I had, just work chores class and trying to squeeze in an hour or two of vidya before bed before doing it all over again tomorrow.

Congratulations, you weren't born centuries ago where this was commonplace. Instead of being upset that your parents aren't adhering to a custom that went out of style before their own parents were born, maybe try actually putting in the effort to get a girlfriend.
>>
>>33760137
>centuries ago
>out of fashion
You are talking to a pajeet, so it's neither.
>>
>>33760139
You know, fair. My fault for assuming I was talking to someone who might have some semblance of value.
>>
>>33757647
Sounds like my parents. They gave me zero advice and were surprised when I didn't get a gf until 26 and even then she made the first move. Special shoutout to my dad, honestly what an asshole for not giving me any guidance at any point in my adolescent and adult life.

>>33760102
Jesus Christ anon. Mine were desperate for me to get out of the house, which I did, just never with girls. It's wild how poorly equipped some people are to be parents. How does one end up being so overbearing? Were your grandparents like that? You'd think they would have wanted to be different if they had been.

>>33759622
>Once you're an adult, it's up to you. It may not be his fault, but is his responsibility.
Sure but without any kind of outside push how do you expect someone to change? It's not like going hungry, or being jobless and on the brink of homelessness. You can survive just fine without a girlfriend and risking embarrassment and rejections for something you don't truly appreciate is really hard. I lucked out in getting a girlfriend and now that I have one I realize it wasn't this huge monumental endeavour and that I could get another one if I had to. I also did not appreciate exactly what I was missing and you really can't if you've never experienced it.

It was their job to either give him adequate genes to be attractive and if he is then it's their job to raise him to be not be incompetent about romance.
>>
>>33757647
Why do you think, numbnuts? Either way my parents have been joking about me marrying a robot since I've been 14; that gave me motivation to prove to them I'm no queer

Centuries ago I'd be a serf and the lord would find me single woman(also a serf) and force us to marry because he wants more serfs. We live in cursed times.

i got my first gf when i was 25. when i first mentioned her to my father, he basically asked what was so wrong with her that she would want to date me. i didn't mention her again.

most people get a gf in high school and can find a prom date. if someone is struggling with that then it's obvious that something's wrong and needs to be addressed. the idea that someone is going to magically un-loser themselves after high school is insane.

Are you Indian or Paki? Why you pretend mom and dad set you up with a girl? That's retarded, and illustrates you mentally live in a world stuck 100 years ago.
They DO care now because you're 25yo, don't you think is about time?
Yeah, you're fucking retarded.

OP's problem is that he's not meeting convential expectations of forming family and to do that as a male in hypergamous 2025 without betabuxxing you need to be tall and handsome which is an unlikely combination statistically
what can he do? ascend, betabuxx or give up on finding a woman simple me personally I just think betabuxxing option is bad you can't have much self-respect to end up with that let me tell you
>>
>>33757647
They think it's still the 1980s and that you can just walk outside and smile at a girl and end up married. Just remember that you aren't the only one in your situation and that slowly but surely the outcomes of their ignorance are becoming more apparent.
>>
>>33757647
they are getting old and realized that they cannot have another child to replace you in case you fail so they want you to do what they cannot anymore.

They are propagating the lie that was told to them that a man's primary purpose is in providing for a family and laboring for a boss.
That being said, whatever a man's true purpose is, I can say it definitely is not sitting in your room all day and talking to nobody. That is an advanced form of alienation that actually makes things a lot worse for you.

I've tried looking this shit up online, facebook/meetup/etc., and I'm not in the middle of nowhere (I'm nearby a city at least). Like, I'm not even trying to be dismal or anything, I genuinely don't see anything that would be interesting for anybody that is under the ages of 50 at least. Looking at attendees confirms that shit. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong places? Idk.

honestly out of all the things jeets do, that is probably the only based thing they got. people forget that traditionally in western culture, the dad is supposed to pass the authority over his daughter to her wedded man. now you are lucky if there was ever a dad in the same household.

jeets smell like body odor mixed with curry and its genuinely disgusting.
