I have. At 32 and a half years old I've hit rock bottom concerning this. I don't try anymore. Like at all. I've deleted my online dating accounts. I'm sure you guys have noticed that I don't post about it anymore. I'm tired of getting hurt. I just don't care anymore. About a month ago I lost the most important person in my life. My mother/grandmother. So my mind hasn't really been on anything else. I've realized that no girl will love you unconditionally the way that your mom would anyway. So how about you guys? Have you given up or do you still have hope of finding love?

You should really just cry and be depressed and give up hope on everything.

No one cares if you give up. Fine, one less person to worry about if they just want to give up. Get out of the way for others trying.

Kind of, for the time being at least. Things fell apart with a girl I loved a few years ago because I wasn't really ready for that kind of commitment, and I still feel like I'm not(and maybe never will be, who knows)

there's just a lot I want to do with my life that I don't see myself doing with a girlfriend. But, you never know what's around the corner.

He means hiring an escort which could do you some good, or you could visit a strip club and see that you giving up is not the way to go unless you can't even make an effort to go to a place to rent affection.

You probably have no game. Online dating is meant for women a lot of em just like the attention and validation. Plus the ones online are usually low quality (looks and personality) anyway. I don't want a relationship and have given up on relationships as well but not cuz I can't get women. I gave up cuz western women are mainly just useless degenerates now who sleep around all the time, are narcissistic and self absorbed into social media, and have few redeeming qualities.

I just have sex with women now. I would not enter a relationship with any of the women I've slept with recently or the one I'm sleeping with now.

A lot of guys with girlfriends are underappreciated, undersexed, mistreated, and/or getting cheated on anyways. I actually pity guys with girlfriends these days.

I'm not familiar with his story, but I believe it. CE is one of the last places I would take advice from, but that said many guys have piss poor game and still manage to get something (though not necessarily quality lol), so obviously TC is doing something very wrong.

Stop the online. Hang out with friends and family members. Family members have friends that are not related. (I do not want to get modded so I must say love is love who are we to judge) Anyway your friends and family want you to hang out with you as long as you are not over the top and annoying. Keep calm. Let others makes fool if themselves. They have friends you will connect with. Also the book How to Win Friends and Influence People is a great read. The tips are simple yet for some reason we do not use them. I highlighted the best parts and typed them into my phone notes so I can read it often. 
Example text
Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.

Strip club girls know how to make loners feel comfortable talking to women. 

Not gonna say it's a solution or anything but anything sounds more fun than whatever TC is going through. But I know when you're at that stage any interaction feels like it should be important. I think that's half the problem.

It's not worthless, you're just doing it wrong. Getting dates is easy assuming you live somewhere with a moderate to high population. If I had time I could get at least one date or more each week and I'm probably below average looking. For me, the hard part is getting from dates to relationships. Either the girl loses interest, I lose interest, they decide they don't want a boyfriend at the moment, they decide to get back with their ex, they're moving, etc. Also, finding time to date is hard as f*** in med school and that can put a strain on things.

I think guys who have no experience and feel anxiety over it are self-sabotaging themselves and they don't even realize it.

Imagine you meet a guy who's desperate to be your best friend. He'll take it personally and feel devastated if you don't become his best friend. That's a lot of pressure for both you and him to feel when you barely know him right? It's completely changed the dynamic you would have if you otherwise just met him normally. It changes how he approaches you and that in turn changes how you react to him. Perhaps if he didn't feel so much pressure you would become best friends but there's no chance that would feel right starting right away with expectations like that. In comparison someone who can make a best friend out of anyone feels no pressure at all.
Kind Regards,
Darmik

    This. 

    OP, I know I've tried giving you advice before and you ignored it but I'm going to try again. Did you go to college/university? If so, go get your TEFL or CELTA, jump on a plane and travel somewhere exotic (some jobs will even pay for said flight). You seriously need to try being social in public situations. Plus in countries like China, Thailand, Vietnam (pretty much all of Asia except Japan and South Korea) and many Central/South American there are millions of attractive single females who are sick of the local men and want to find westerners (for both dating and simply sex). 

    You need to change things up. By the sounds of it you have absolutely nothing keeping you where you live anymore so try something different.
    How can one person post so much stupid s***?
    I never bothered trying to find one in the first place, and I prefer to keep it that way. Zero upsides and endless downsides to romance and sex as far as I'm concerned, and I'm completely undesirable anyway, so it's not worth the time or effort to even humor the idea of companionship.

    True enough, never been to a party, and I spend the majority of my time partaking in other things. (Deeding included.)

    Doesn't change the fact that I find it better to have never loved at all than to have loved and lost.

    This is what happens when you better yourself. You work out, get into new hobbies, attempt to get into social situations rather than avoid them. Your social skills improve and your confidence explodes. Women(people in general) see this and get pulled towards it.

    So because you feel you're worthless and lack any ounce of self confidence, you decided to construct all of these reasons that relationships are pointless to justify your lack of effort in getting a gf. That way you being single is your choice, not anyone elses. Good job buddy.

    I didn't have to construct anything, there's factually real hurdles when it comes to dealing with relationships that I don't feel are worth the effort to overcome given how little I would get in return even if I succeeded, or how much I would lose if I failed. It's also not a matter of making it "my choice" because even without said hurdles, I'm not a worthwhile person anyway, so the other person would stand to gain even less than I do.

    When you know you can't win and there's nothing to gain by winning regardless, there's no point in trying at all, simple as that. It's not even like I'm dismissing relationships as a whole, if it works for others all the more power to them, but I'm not going to pretend its something for me too.

    What is your guy's experience with woman? Amount of women dated, general time spent around women, number slept with, etc? Serious question. 

    I ask what seems like silly questions because as seen in this thread, many users have very little experience with women and next to no social life.

    Agreed, it's a grim outlook on things. There are good women left on the Western Hemisphere, but they aren't common. I don't exactly agree with his conclusion, but I can't say that his statements about entitlement, infidelity, narcissism, and bringing little to the table are incorrect, but I can see how he got to that point.

    This is what happens when you better yourself. You work out, get into new hobbies, attempt to get into social situations rather than avoid them. Your social skills improve and your confidence explodes. Women(people in general) see this and get pulled towards it.

    Lol, this isn't a romantic movie. I focus on myself every day, work out and have average social skills at the least

    I suddenly don't see these women come out of the woodwork approaching me.

    I never bothered trying to find one in the first place, and I prefer to keep it that way. Zero upsides and endless downsides to romance and sex as far as I'm concerned, and I'm completely undesirable anyway, so it's not worth the time or effort to even humor the idea of companionship.

    You must be very fun at party's.

    Why even bother going to parties? They seem loud with lots of obnoxious people who would have no trouble stabbing me in the back or getting into a fight with me

    Parties just seem like a waste of time. Why should I be in a fully overcrowded area with lots of sweaty people?

    Stop the online. Hang out with friends and family members. Family members have friends that are not related. (I do not want to get modded so I must say love is love who are we to judge) Anyway your friends and family want you to hang out with you as long as you are not over the top and annoying. Keep calm. Let others makes fool if themselves. They have friends you will connect with. Also the book How to Win Friends and Influence People is a great read. The tips are simple yet for some reason we do not use them. I highlighted the best parts and typed them into my phone notes so I can read it often.

    Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself. Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.

    Never give up. Every guys goes through this. One day mom isn't gonna be there, and you'll be all alone. There's nothing wrong with being alone, but...

    ...it's better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all.

    Every guy doesn't go through "this". You do know that each and every persons situation is unique and different right? Some guys are blessed with good looks, others have lots of money and status. Guys who are good looking and fill the mantra of hot chad or good looking male will always have an advantage over ugly and average dudes.

    The Never give Up statement is stupid because you are setting people up to be obsessed. You are the definition of EVIL because you would rather me kill out myself approaching women every day and getting rejected, rather than just not focusing on them or forgetting them


    What you are saying is you want me to be rejected 1000+ times.

    Kinda.

    I browse OKC, but I've only sent messages to like 2 girls.

    Man, okcupid is worthless. I was there for two years. Must've messaged like 50 different girls. Out of those maybe 5 responded. We talked for a bit. Then they disappeared. Never even got a date out of it.


    It's not worthless, you're just doing it wrong. Getting dates is easy assuming you live somewhere with a moderate to high population. If I had time I could get at least one date or more each week and I'm probably below average looking. For me, the hard part is getting from dates to relationships. Either the girl loses interest, I lose interest, they decide they don't want a boyfriend at the moment, they decide to get back with their ex, they're moving, etc. Also, finding time to date is hard as f*** in med school and that can put a strain on things.


    Explain to me how it's easy to get a date in a conservative state where people not only stick with their own race, but where people are less willing to accept new "friends" or put them above as interest.

    Getting dates is not easy for "Anyone" unless you're extremely good looking.

I don't want a relationship and have given up on relationships as well but not cuz I can't get women. I gave up cuz western women are mainly just useless degenerates now who sleep around all the time, are narcissistic and self absorbed into social media, and have few redeeming qualities.

    I just have sex with women now. I would not enter a relationship with any of the women I've slept with recently or the one I'm sleeping with now.

    A lot of guys with girlfriends are underappreciated, undersexed, mistreated, and/or getting cheated on anyways. I actually pity guys with girlfriends these days.

    Going out often doesn't really work when people will immediately hate you for trying to socialize with them.

    I didn't say there is, but to just discard the possibility entirely? seems kind of silly to me. you only get to live one life, I think you should try to experience as much as you possibly can. Being in love was one of the best experiences in my entire life, and losing that was one of the worst experiences, but I don't regret it. It put a lot of things into perspective for me and was a life experience I wouldn't trade for anything.

    How is that supposed to happen when it's not guaranteed. Love isn't something you can't just attain with another human being. With a pet, you can make an effort(from it's childhood) to get it to love and care for you. Taking care of an animal, domesticated, usually will lead to that animal having respect and even admiring you as it's owner

    Women are not the same. Women will reject men. Women will hate men. Women will despise men for simply talking to them. Now lets add in attraction. I can be average-above average, and seek a relationship. But no matter what, said relationship may never happen because

    1. They aren't attracted to me

    2. We don't share the same interests

    3. They may have a partner.

    So many factors go into it. So shouldn't the option be to disregard relationships entirely? Disregarding them puts less stress on you overall


    Putting them into a priority and trying to seek love is a terrible death sentence for the mind.

    @Bryon25

    I've been lurking CE for several years now and I've seen some of your topics and posts through the years, and I can tell you that you are going about this whole thing the wrong way. A lot of people have been giving you pretty sound advice... some of it is troll garbage intended to make you feel like s***, some of it is legitimate and they really want to see you succeed. But I will tell you one thing: you will not find true happiness in other people until you first find it in yourself. This was my problem for the longest time. Honestly man, I never really tried to get a girlfriend in the first place, but I still felt like I needed a partner to help me feel happy and fill the void that was eating at me. I realized my situation and made some changes in my life. I started grooming and dressing better, eat better, work out here and there, made a couple friends. And then 2 months later I was at my job at my grocery store, and this one girl had started working at my same store, but in a different department. She was shopping, looking at paper towels and other stuff in the aisle I was in. I introduced myself, we talked for a bit, had some stuff in common, I gave her my number, and the rest is history. I just turned 24 last week and my gf is 19. She is black and I am hispanic, and despite our cultural differences and some beliefs and ideals, we also have many things in common. It's pretty weird, but we've been together for almost a year now and our relationship is only getting stronger.

    You need to stop being a sad sack and straighten yourself up. Focus on yourself. Get a new hobby. Make a new friend or two. Get a new job. Finish college. Start working out. Whatever it is you decide to do, DO NOT have the mindset that you are automatically entitled to happiness and a girlfriend. Life is all about luck, it can be cruel and unfair, but it can also be a joyous blessing. Make your own luck by making yourself happy and more approachable, and other people will see this and be more inclined to be around you. This last bit also applies to you @LookMoneyStatus though I don't know if you are just an average joe or just a gimmick troll account.

    If you're not happy with yourself or your life a relationship won't really solve that. That's like building on top of an unstable foundation.

    But how can you be confident in that if you've never experienced it?

    There's lots of things I don't need to experience to know "yeah, I won't enjoy this" just from hearing and reading about them, even if its something as simple as not bothering to watch some movie or play some game. There's similarly been things I *have* experienced that ended up terrible or agonizing to where I wasn't willing to deal with it ever again.

    One shouldn't mistake my weariness around the opposite sex as bitterness though, as frankly I don't trust other people in general and thus have no friends/acquaintances at all. But that too is "justified" because I had friends before, lost them for one reason or another, found that post-lost "experience" to be painful, and thus decided I didn't want to make new friends just to lose them all over again. Other people can carry on with such things, I'm not "hating" on the concepts as a whole, I've just accepted there are things in life I'm not meant for and avoid them.

    You even said yourself "you only get to live one life" which is all the more reason to not waste it on things that will always prove to be pointless to one's self. What, exactly, ends up being pointless differs from person to person though, which is why I try not to discourage others in their own pursuits regardless of what I've dealt with or avoided.

    I'll hit the high points. My parents were physically and mentally abusive. My dad told me he wished I were dead. My brother tried killing me to please my dad. My dad refused to sign the consent form for life saving surgery I needed and told the doctors to just let me die instead. A few years later he tried killing me himself. I was bullied all through out school, and never learned how to socialize. I was never allowed to do anything at all.

    I became emotionally crippled. I'm now 33 years old, and have never had any kind of a relationship. Never dated, I want a wife, and kids of my own.

    Instead, I get to deal with constant anxiety, and depression, while life passes me by. My entire social life is right here on gamefaqs.

    My condolences. I can't tell you how to live your life, or give you the magic formula for a perfect life, but as long as you have a place to live and a source of regular income, you have the keys to better your life. It will probably be a slow and gradual process, but it will all be for nothing if you throw in the towel and quit. Life is all about making your own luck with the cards you are dealt. You can do it.
