Today, while browsing YouTube, I looked at the section "Recommended for You." I saw a video titled "How to get a girlfriend." Even YouTube thinks I can't get one. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, needing some new music, I logged on to YouTube and clicked "Like" on a few different tracks I enjoy, hoping to spark some good suggestions from the algorithm. My “Personal Mix” now consists of boring, generic techno remixes, with videos showing 100% half-naked women and fast cars. FML
Today, I got a targeted YouTube ad that was intended for someone who owns a graveyard plot. Glad to know my watching habits match those of an undertaker's. FML
Today, I was looking at some comments on a silly YouTube video of me dancing with some friends. Someone posted a comment saying "Girl on the right is hot!!!." Next to that, it had about 31 thumbs down. I'm the girl on the right. FML
Today, I was reliving my youth watching videos of *NSYNC on YouTube, when a suggested ad popped up for “Haircuts for women over 50.” I’m only 27. FML
Today, I realized just how pathetic my life is when I found myself fascinated by videos that a woman posts on YouTube of her removing ingrown hairs and zits from people’s private areas. FML
Today, like millions of others before me, I decided to start a YouTube channel. I was thorough, bought all the camera gear, decided on my content, came up with a gimmick, the works. The very first comment I got on my very first video was a request for nudes. FML
Today, my friends created a fake Facebook profile of a girl, and asked me to be in a relationship. Even my friends think I can't get a real girlfriend, and need a fake one to feel better. FML
Today, I realized that every other targeted ad I see is for some sort of dating app. I've been single on and off for 5 years now, and it's starting to get to me. FML
Today, I realized that my YouTube watch history, which is mostly comprised of audio ASMRs dealing with loneliness and other anxiety and depression issues, has turned into one big testament to how utterly lonely I am in the real world, and that I probably will remain like this for the rest of my life. FML
Today, I tried to go to the gym, but I ended up watching cat videos on YouTube for three hours. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

How stupid do you take us for? We all know YouTube doesn't think. It knows.

All you need to get a girlfriend is $50 - tell that to YouTube.

yuhimjesus 0
he isn't chubby, he's wearing multiple shirts to cover the lingering smell of family issues and no self respect.

I love how y'all hate on her for having a short boyfriend when the point here is that she atleast has someone.

Prove youtube wrong. Get the girlfriend without looking at the video. Dont waste your time bitching about it on FML. You know what? I really dont give a ****. In my experience, most women are annoying as shit and not worth the effort. i much rather prefer xbox live to dating any girl lol :)
redbluegreen 41
If you find most women annoying, you're attracted to the wrong sort.

dude...no. God help you

Somebody has to come to the realization that girls aren't as important as xbox live. Sadly, that's just GAY!

Oh lord... He is a nerd and most likely CAN'T get a girlfriend.

#10 don't mislead the young fml commenters with your nerdy gay ways of living.. and don't cover up your unattractiveness by saying you don't want a girl
BadasS14 0
#10 should watch the video
ruby84 1
#10 is smart, you're all just jealous of his emotional independence! you've got the right idea dude, I completely agree, although I have the same thoughts about guys but you've got the concept right!

10..................... Have a threesome!!!

lol 61 him his xbox and (if possible) his girl x)

Well if that isn't denial in it's purest form, I don't know what is. I do like the fact that you said you don't want a girl, like you honestly think you have the choice. When something is out of reach, we learn to live without. It's kind if like evolution, but nerdier. I hope your penis enjoys being shoved into your xBox. It's clearly the only box you'll ever experience.

They recommend a lot of Cure songs for me. :) Anyways, if you're so concerned with this then try being a little more social. You're not going to find a girlfriend while viewing videos of that sort on YouTube. Eh... well you might. Just very unlikely.
sourgirl101 29
YouTube recommended "The Cure" to me too!
