Wherein the author sees his friend's college's streaking team 'practicing' on snapchat

..and is quite traumatized by it, jeez.

Portrayal of the author as a sad and hopelessly romantic person

Captions for images from the author's life.

In this photo(circa 2014) taken by the author's college friend, the author looks thoughtful and hard at work. The original caption (written by the photographer) implied that the photo showed that author was a smart and hardworking man. In reality, the author is thinking about why no woman not related to him by blood or marriage won't love him, and trying to figure out ways to put the blame of his issues on his parents.

Taken by the author on halloween, this photo shows the author in the middle of a group made of happy and attractive men and women, some all many of whom the author considers 'beyond his league'. Notice that the author appears to be popular. The reason the author is included in photo is because the camera with which it was taken belonged to him. In his eyes, you can see the author thinking how the 'investment' in the expensive camera finally paid off.

This photo, from the author's time in the United States, shows the author with his friends, who are all 'together' with their partners, and look extremely happy. Notice how single women of the group are trying to avoid eye contact with the author, as he tries in desperation to find some fossil of love in this cold, heartless, and desolate world devoid of human caring. Records show that by this point, the author has given up all pretenses of 'standards' and would be together with anyone willing to hug him.

At a party during his first year in college, the author stands awkwardly-- cross-armed and holding a red party cup with unidentified liquid in it -- while the rest of the room is in various stages of unclothing. The author will later insist to his friends that Americans don't know how to have fun, and that he had expected much exciting things to happen at parties than a bunch of freshmen making out with each other. Notice the four-feet empty 'buffer zone' formed around the author in the crowded room.

The author is caught in the background of a police dash-cam as local law enforcement breaks up a party. The author was going to the party to report on it, after receiving an unsubstantiated tip by someone the author now knows is untrustworthy, that orgiastic activities were being held inside the premises of the building. The departing party-goers (foreground) look heavily dressed for the cold of Boston winter.

In this photo, the author is in a state what he later describes as 'closest near-death experience'. The author had previously agreed to go on a run with a younger female classmate, not realizing she was a marathon runner with two full marathons with reasonable timings under her belt.

Here, the author is pretending to read 'The Female Eunuch' to impress the ladies. He will be unsuccessful.
