The question you should be asking is why anyone would be crazy enough to socialize with the crazies in our crazy world.
Your failing to recognize the change your association with the crazies has changed you for the worse is a bad answer. The change in you was slow but sure and you unfortunately didn’t even realize you’ve changed.
The mere fact you can normalize reference to toeivaniks is itself a symptom of the above. And your lack of cognizance of the results of socializing with the opposite gender is further demonstration of your inability to see yourself and the changes it has wrought upon you.
