I feel like the only way to win as a man is to be extremely prosperous and successful financially and be well known. There is nothing else unless you look like a Greek god. Because to be honest no one cares about what men think or their existence unless they are top 0.1%.

It is something I’ve always thought and way I just work so hard.

I come from a top family, you are definitely really rated by people. Some people get jealous. But you definitely know every girl dreams of men that are just unattainable and so far from reality as a normal guy in 2026 is just not enough.

I have not really gotten off the ground running on just about everything in life. It is really hurting my self-esteem and has left me feeling ignored, irrelevant, bored, and feeling like I am losing my ever fucking mind.

I will provide a few examples:

One, I have been trying to sell my independent web services. I am a talented web developer. I acknowledge AI is making it easier to create web apps and websites, but not everyone has fully adopted it yet for these purposes. I had a few clients and created websites for them last year. I received mostly positive feedback, and I offered my services for a steal. I was supposed to work on one more website for another small business, and it has been over 6 months and I haven't heard a thing from them. That is now $1,500 I will not be getting. They are a landscaping supply company, so this time of year would be ideal. Meanwhile, I launched a website trying to gain clients. No calls, no web form submissions, nothing. I advertise, sometimes cold call, reach out to other recruiters and company owners... nothing. One of my clients from last year that I was told needed updates, they have yet to provide me with anything. Potential and existing clients are pulling back.

Then, I am spending a lot of my time now trying to advocate and raise awareness about our crumbling public safety infrastructure in my state, as it has become very problematic. I have spoken with news organizations, and they now either lie saying they will "get to it" or I am ignored and sidelined.

I feel like I am not taken seriously now, and that I have become irrelevant.

I wonder how often this happens. You meet someone and you actually are attracted to them physically or emotionally but you thought it through and knew ahead of time it would never work out so you friend zone them due to that. Ever done that?

I try to avoid using terms like 'friend zone' because i feel its either misused or really is just a phone term meaning someone sticking around who the other person isn't attracted to hoping they'll change their mind.

But in this case though what if they are actually attracted but due to circumstance they can't pursue it and so only offer friendship?
