Well, as for the neck, I'm told that it's actually a pretty simple operation to help with a herniated disc in your neck (at least in my case, anyway) - it won't be fixed completely but it should be a fair bit better than it is at the moment if they operate. Thing is, though, it's on the public medical system so I'm really in no position to be hassling anyone about it. I just have to wait until the Government doctors say I'm okayed for it - it's the poor taxpayers who have to fit the bill in the meantime who I feel sorry for, most of all. And as for the dating... well, yeah, you're absolutely right. It's simply not worth the trouble. I wouldn't call myself a MGTOW by any stretch of the imagination but I can definitely see what those guys are talking about when they say 'the return isn't worth the price of investment'. I think it has a lot to do with apps like Tinder making it too easy for these heifers to pick-and-choose when it comes to dating; they think their value is much more than it really is because they have so much choice. Meanwhile, decent guys with good intention end up shacking up with Porky Pig. Smh.
