Figured out why he doesn't have friends:

You’d probably say I have nothing to complain about. And in almost every way, you’d be right. As a white, straight, cis Jewish man, I realize and accept that I occupy a place of immense privilege, especially in a historically patriarchal and heteronormative religion like Judaism. I can make a minyan, get an aliyah, or give a dvar Torah in almost any Jewish community I set foot in, and no one would blink an eye. I don’t experience discrimination or microaggressions in my synagogue or in the workplace. It’s something I think about almost every day, and it’s something that I believe I must bear responsibility for by joining in the fight for the spiritual rights and inclusion of all Jews, regardless of who they are or what they look like.

He's gotta be exhausting to be around; this is what he writes in public, just imagine what he's like in private.

TLDR:

I don't have meaningful relationships with other males because I'm odd, needy, and unpopular.

Shocking, I tell you.

Boo Hoo Hoo. Take a few oxygen tanks over to New Delhi, you’ll make friends in a hurry. And they won’t learn Torah “just to pass the time”. ::)

This one doesn’t even qualify as a first world problem.

Yes

Fortunately I haven’t. Maybe if we had discussed politics when we met, our answer would change :P

I did have a guy like this in DM/WhatsApp recently, and he’s lucky it wasn’t in person or I’d be tempted to wring his neck.

If we had a dislike button, I'd probably use it several times in this thread.

This Alma site appears to have about as much to do with our community/ies as, say, The Sukkos Mob.

I'm not sure what to say about this - https://www.heyalma.com/alma-classifieds/
It's terribly sad, but on some level also laugh-inducing.
Do you want to play a board game, digitally or in Lakewood NJ? PM me. (Can be asynchronous, i.e. take turns whenever)

Aside from the obvious weirdness, apparently there's a rule that every ad needs to contain either the word bagel or kvetch.

Weird is not the word.
Small people talk about other people.
Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.
