I for one look for constructive criticism and think it would help improve my writing, but have noticed that those that score very low are those that don't leave comments and that makes me wonder if the low scores are just out of spite. I know I was so hurt by low scoring that it caused me to curtail my writing to the point that i don't even try any longer.
You put your all into writing and to be shot down by those that cant even be bothered to mention why they didn't like it makes it seem futile to put the time into trying to create something enjoyable.
I know I should be thicker skinned, but to a beginning writer, a one or two score is devastating.

It doesn't impress me.
I guess it's all part of the method v classical argument. Reminds me of that apocryphal story of Hoffman and Olivier - Hoffman had apparently stayed awake for days in preparation for a particularly harrowing scene. Completely unimpressed, Olivier said to him "have you tried acting, dear boy?"
This reminds me of a quote i read where Marlon Brando remarked to Val Kilmer '' Your confusing your talent with your paycheck''.
For my money one of the best performances was Leo DiCaprio in What's eating Gilbert Grape? I saw it twice before It registered who he was!
I think Daniel Day-Lewis is the master of transforming himself ''into character'' though and he uses his mind, not diets or trickery to become one with who he protrays

"I do not hate women. I actually admire them a whole lot. They run the risk of being and kidnapped everyday, but they still take the chance of going out into the world, making it a better place. Without women, the human race would be non existent. Women make the world go around. Women are not as nasty or sick or ill minded as some men. Seriously, some dudes are sick in their head, goin' round and shit.."
WTF is that all about? Who thinks like that?
Is it just me or is this a terribly disturbing statement? He sounds like a future or a present one.ihk3Sl3mBL2pfbRe
As to the OP there is not enough of a portrait of your friend to give clear advice, maybe he needs time off from relationships to decide what sort of relationship he wants.
Relationships are never easy, they take time and a give and take attitude to work.
But giving up is asking for a lonely existence.

It seems as if your comfort zone is more comfortable and attracted to men not considered buff and I can relate to that, and don't find ''perfect'' men very attractive either, or at least a conventional idea of a guy that is so toned he loves his body more than mine.
I tend to be attracted to slimmer,arty talented thoughtful types, but the thing is, we look for certain traits that send tingles and thank goodness we all have different tingle-o-meters.
