I've been lurking on OLD out of boredom and to remind myself WHY I choose to be single. Anyway, I've noticed a reoccurring story from several men that they've "just moved" to town from somewhere far away.

This is usually followed up with

"I don't know anyone."

"'I have no family."

"I'm bored."

I thought I remembered there being a post about such nonsense here, but I could not find it when I searched.

Anyone else have this experience with the "new in town" boys? It feels like a desperate ploy for sympathy and coddling.
