    I wish they made more movies like this. But they don’t.

    It’s kind of wild how wholesome many 2000 comedies were deep down. But the world changed and a lot of them were re evaluated a in the 2010s as being awful and terrible because they were given surface level analysis and turned into rage-bait for the ‘love to be offended’ crowd who often can’t see beyond the surface of things.

    2005 was the year Youtube was launched, 5 months after 40 Year old Virgin was released in theaters.

    I feel this. Getting there myself. Part of the problem is that I can’t experience sexual pleasure and I have a hard time experiencing sexual attraction. But I really wish I could experience what those endorphins feel like even once! But even doing it myself, it doesn’t work that way.

    To my knowledge, I don’t seem to have any physical abnormalities. I’ve been to the doc for a checkup before there. Nerves just must not be hooked up right or something.

      That sucks. Good luck.

      If someone is happily asexual, then I guess it’s not a problem. Some people might feel no desire and carry on with life not feeling like they miss anything because “there’s nothing to miss”. But suffering with it or feeling deprived sucks.

    Hey virgies, talk to the person you’re interested in and show them you’re interested. Make sure you let them speak freely and until they finish their point, and show that you’re interested in hearing what they have to say with your body language. Best of luck!

      This is the fastest way for them to get fired at their job for sexual harassment.

      It’s not 2005 anymore when showing interest was a largely consequence free thing to do.

      when it came out incels didn’t exist, at least the modern version of them.

      they only hit the cultural radar when they started killing people in the 2014. a decade after this film came out

    That picture is so disconcerting because that is simply not Carell’s face. Maybe I just am face blind. Also that movie didn’t stand up over time except I remember Catherine Keener
