i am 24 and have never had a boyfriend. i feel trapped inside my own head and don't know what to do. everything i try ends in failure. can someone please help me understand this? or how to fix it? i have awful luck and i feel like there is an invisible barrier stopping me from finding love. i am petrified of turning 25 and still being like this. i feel brain damaged and humiliated. i have tried:>hobby groups>dating apps>networking events >ask friends for anyone they know>cold approachesand nothing is fruitful. to be fair, i am a bit ugly. but i have my life together to the best of my ability- i'm employed, i'm social, im educated. i go on dates with guys, and they ghost me, or make fun of me, or say they're not ready for a relationship. i don't like begging guys to stay with me or coming across as desperate but i have been feeling myself do this more often recently. only one man in my entire life has "chased" me, but it was because i approached him. and then he dumped me anyway.i went to college during covid and i think it nuked my social life to an extreme degree. but at the end of the day, i know i am the only one at blame. everyone else is doing fine. how do i get there? i wish i could force love. if i could i would.
Ur a chick just sexmaxxAnd don't let people humiliate you, tell them fuck you too then send em off
>>34070738>sexmaxxwhat is that?im not interested in sex outside of a relationship/love. i physically cannot be sexually interested if i don't have feelings for him and trust him
>>34070743It means, look like you give the sexx but don't give the sexx
>>34070786what purpose does that serve
>>34070820You'll attract a buncha moids, ?? Dumbass
>>34070828what does it look likeand why would i want to attract men who just want sex
>>34070834So you can be the one making fun of them and not the other way around?
this is hopeless
>>34070834Stop replying to namefags, since they're often blatantly mentally ill and desperate to any kind of attention.
>>34070893can you help me then?
>>34070893Not me, no. I just use namefag to collect my posts. I don't give a fuck about attention from any of you faggots
Is this normal?
>>34070666I think a lot of people, both male and female, are in the same boat these days. Keep your chin up and don't get discouraged because nothing has worked so far - there's no guarantee things will stay that way, especially if you're actively socializing and putting in the effort.
>>34071057i dont know anyone else who has struggled like this
>>34071068So what if you don't? Doesn't mean you're doomed to being single forever, just that you haven't met the right person yet.
>>34071075what if i fucked up so badly that i missed that person? my chances get worse and worse every day i let this continue
>>34071085>what if i fucked up so badly that i missed that person? You're not looking for the perfect person, but the right person. Meaning, you're not looking for one guy in the entire world, but one guy who you click with, out of many guys you could potentially click with. >my chances get worse and worse every day i let this continueThat's unreasonable. Why would your chances decrease over time? If anything, the longer you are actively socializing and looking, the higher your chances of meeting the right person are. If it makes you feel better, this experience is fairly common for guys.
>>34071159>Why would your chances decrease over time?running out of people? missing connections, losing time from my lifeit doesn't make me feel better at all
>>34071335ok i take the baityou say you have tried approaching and even dating appshow in the fuck could you not find a single dude as a girl?you admit being a bit ugly, so please for gods sake tell me you actually approached ugly men too, and not chad looking guys and then went suprised nothing sticked i cannot see that if you actually tried it with realistic standards that you couldnt find anything, bc males are way more desperate in the area of dating nowadays, dating apps alone is literally a huge shithole for men and even the ugliest women get tons of likes
>>34071383>so please for gods sake tell me you actually approached ugly men too,yea, i hate calling them "ugly" but they would be shorter than me, balding/bald, etc, but nothing ever worked out or happened. even if they were nice there was just no friendship
>>34071407so youre saying you tried everything in the book and had realistic standards and expectations as a girl and you still couldnt find anything?can you answer this honestly with a yes? i still have my doubts bc as i said, dating is way more desperate on the male site, chances you couldnt find anything if you were realistic and actually tried seems pretty low to me
>>34071430yesi will say i have bad luck straight up. and when my feelings get hurt, i go into these months long hibernations where even the thought of a new infatuation makes me sick
>>34071448well then you cant complain if you isolate yourself for months i can see that it isnt as easy for girls if they are ugly, but i still cant imagine that its impossible bc ugly people, especially women, get laid all the time clearly
>>34071457im not isolating, but if i dont go for a guy i don't get approached at all ill go out with my pretty friends and they get flirted with while i get ignored
>>34071464if you go out with girls way prettier than yourself what exactly did you expect? i kinda get its shit but for real what did you expect lol? i dont really think the bar scene is a good way to meet a good partner anyways, bar scene seems to be all about sex, its obvious why hot girls will be approached a lot
>>34071489i dont expect anything i just expect to hang out with my friends but they get pulled away even if they dont want it im just saying. men aren't interested in me whether im alone or with others
>>34071512dude if you go out with way prettier women, ofc men will generally be interested in thosethere are plenty of desperate men, for gods sake are you fat? i dont believe you tried everything bc like i repeatedly said now, the male site is just way more desperate and even if youre ugly or a plain jane it shouldnt be impossible if you actually had realistic standards and tried
>>34071521right but no one appraoches me when imsolo eitheridk i havent felt this desperation at all. im not fat, i work out and take care of myself. my standards are normal and low for a woman my age
>>34071542stop expecting to be approached by chad or any guy if you give zero signals and look like a cold biatch, i wouldnt want to appproach girls like that eitherif you want to be approached give guys hints you want to be approached, eye contact smiles whatever the fuck women usually do
>>34071554ive tried eye contact doesn't work i also dont expect to be approached, but men seem so uninterested when i approach
>>34071573dude you cant tell me you actually tried this on 100s of men who were not all chadit does ofc not always work, bc other men can already have gfs etc too, and men are often times scared to approach too, girls smiling and then approaching some girls are bitches and then act like why are you approaching me i was just smiling bc i was nice etcjust be on a look for guys looking for a gf, i know they are out there, and give those signals or approach even, there has to be one who would date you
>>34071593not hundreds no i don't think anyone normal has done that
>>34071600so then you clearly havnt tried that hard
>>34071603ok
>>34071621
>>34071627why is that a gif
>>34071629no idea bro i just saved a random pepe that portrayed the emotion i wanted to portray, and it happened to be a gif
>>34071635are you mad at me
>>34071636no i just think you are silly
>>34071638why
>>34071643you make a grand thread about help me im gurl who cant get laid even if i try so hardsome guy finally points out you didnt try so hard and then you write oklike dude wtf
>>34071648i think i tried really hardyou just don't believe me
>>34071653you were literally admitting that you didnt try that hard after i asked you, you made the >>34071600i just know you didnt do that much, some guys literally ask out 100s till they finally get a gf
>>34071658i don't count my failures
>>34071665from your replies to me seems you didnt actually try that hard, i believe you that you maybe approached 2 or 3 men maybe a few more idk, maybe made some signals but after it didnt work out seems like you just quit immediatelly and literally isolated yourself again for months like youve said ... some people just have shit garbage luck in attracting a partner, and have to try harder, i am in a similar position
>>34071673i haven't quit
>>34071685no but you didnt try that hard and literally admitted to isolating yourself for months, why backpaddle?
>>34071687i said it wasn't physical isolation, more like emotional. but its not like i had any people suddenly approach me or come into my life during those times either
>>34071698i doubt you constantly tried and giving guys signals, you tried it on 2-3 guys it didnt work and then you went back to 'emotionally' sulking
>>34071708no
>>34071712no what you want me to believe you consistently asked out or gave signals to 100s of men out there and nothing ever happened? bc if you actually tried it for so many years it would literally be 100s
>>34071716is it 100s for you? there are numbers between 2 and 100
>>34071725its probably 100s if we count trying to make eye contact and signals, yes
>>34071732now come on now lets be real with ourselves
>>34071732ten its 100s for me too wtf lol
>>34071738then you are cursed like me, but i can tell you im older than you and im still not making grand incel threads about myself and still keep trying, but i have to say im a bit worried about myself, too. but im a male, its way harder, i dont think i would be worried if i was on the other side but who knows
>>34071757i have less time than you. ill be infertile by 30, you wont be.
>>34070738>Real a$s nigaYou're not exactly the sharpest tool in the 4chan shed, are you?
>>34071767thats only if you dont keep up good care about yourself, its probably grim for both genders if they dont and are single
>>34071780i try my best but my friends who drink and smoke and dont sleep and eat like shit look better than me, and are less sick than me. and thy'll probably have better kids anyway
>>34071785i see very fortunate people too and question the world as well how some are just born rich etc and some are obvious poorfags or ugly etcbut i still think it catches up with people if they dont keep up good care. you never really know what goes on in another person, you see them smoke and party once and you are confused how they are looking good, but just bc they did it once doesnt mean they are always like this etc
>>34071803i just wish it felt like there was a point to all this
It is what it is, you have what you have.That's what the rest of your existence will be built on.Could be not too bad.
>>34071807yea i mean you are not alone... i and many others feel the samebut imo you still cant deny some things in this harsh brutal world are beautiful, too. even just seeing beauty when i look at a landscape etc nobody can say it all looks like shit.at the end of the day you only need to get lucky once and get one partner and then you can do a lot of the nicer things in life, even if it may seem meaningless, its possible to enjoy the life too. thats what keeps me going i can realistically see if i just luck out one time my life would drastically improve and not even be that bad after all even if life can seem harsh and stupid a lot, shit like comfy netflix and cuddles still exist likewise though and i realise that
>>34071775Yet somehow I manage to be sharper than you still
>>34071821it literally is as bad as it can get>>34071826of course. i love this earth and nature and the things and people i love. but i wish i had a partner through it all. i fell for the solo travel meme and i just cried the whole time bc i hated seeing beautiful things aloneit bothers me so much that i just need to get lucky once and that i haven't
>>34071842We shall ignore where we are and....well, good for you.Kinda edgy name though, post hand?Post hand!(I'm aware of the irony)
>>34071857well you are not alone and you arent that old yet, i can see if youre actually a virgin how it could be confusing to you but at the end of the day you still got some time and youre a girl, chances are if you actually keep trying it should happen
>>34071857>it literally is as bad as it can getSo it's what you build on.Are you sure you just don't like to stir up some drama?Suspicions rise.
>>34071864i don't have time. even if i met the loml tomorrow, it'd be years before we got married, and by then id be nearly 30. my youth is gone, i look worse every day
>>34071867my worst nightmare is never finding love. thats not going to change for me anytime soon
>>34071826>>34071857Get a room you two>>34071858I wasn't careful with that edge and lost my hands
>>34071871lol 24 isnt old, and you wont suddenly look like shit by 30 unless you kept eating sweets, alcohol, mcdonalds and salads
>>34071880i don't eat any of that except sweets but why are salads bad?
>>34071877>I wasn't careful with that edge and lost my handsNo worries.I just like to help. You may too.>>34071875>my worst nightmare is never finding love. thats not going to change for me anytime soonOnly one way to find out.Right?Yes, you'll need to do some things.I have not read most posts in this thread, but what is your social situation?Friends?
>>34071885stop eating sweets then its not good for you, i just know a lot of females especially love going the vegetarian root and eat a lot of salad and shit, and its actually not good for you, has low minerals and you can actually not really digest it much either
>>34071891>but what is your social situation?i have four friends and i see them often, weeklyi also go to a dance group and am friendly with people there >>34071893>rootroute?oh yea im trying to cut down. i mostly try to eat iron rich stuff bc im a bit low but fruits and sweets are my favorite
>>34071895stop eating so many sweets and fruits then its garbage, and iron rich? you mean steak or what
>>34071904liver and i eat fish and beans and sweet potato and a lot of eggs. maybe i smell like shit and thats why men hate me
>>34071895>i have four friends and i see them often, weekly>i also go to a dance group and am friendly with people thereNot too bad.Now, friends of friends, that's a huge vector.Is that a possibility?dance group sounds good tooEven better if we have to send you out.
>>34071907stop eating liver and just eat like a normal person. whos telling you to eat such weird shit, i can only imagine you read it on some internet meme like the solo traveling you mentioned, lmao at the girls solo traveling to shitholes like africa, asia and south america etc its like you try being raped
>>34071909send me out?i asked, they don't know any eligble bachelors>>34071911i dont eat it a lot it just has a lot of iron i eat a lot carbs
>>34070666I don't believe youHow many matches did you get on bumble? You're basically guaranteed a date every single day if you just use any dating app, doesn't matter how ugly you are.
>>34071924>i asked, they don't know any eligble bachelorsDon't ever even ask.Friends of friends, do as much as you can with your friends, don't actually worry about getting anything, No. Meet new people, take an interest in them, go full "Be curious, not judgmental" on all of them.Learn.Filter.Keep the good.Also, what about you? Do you have a personality? Hobbies?
>>34070666The species is declining. You were born with expectations that do not match reality.
>>34071979Your species is declining.Fuck, I need to make more babies.Because you're all too fucking lazy,,,or so it seems.
>>34070666It both is & isn’t your fault.Right now people suck, which isn’t your fault.But you are a person, and I’m pretty sure you suck too.
>>34071946yea>>34071979i disagreehe has to be out there>>34071985>I’m pretty sure you suck too.so does everyone else in relationshipsi want to suck and still be loved like them
>>34071648>you make a grand thread about help me im gurl who cant get laid even if i try so hard>some guy finally points out you didnt try so hard and then you write ok>like dude wtfPerhaps not too far off.My first post.>>34071821Turns out "Real a$s niga" is a pretty reasonable and cool dude.>>34071867>Are you sure you just don't like to stir up some drama?Perish the thought.Then, after enough, "you"'s anon had to go to bed.I've seen worse endings, have fun!Or else!
>>34071648>who cant get laid eveand im not trying to get laid. i know men will fuck anything, i want a relationship
Ah, timing, anyways:>>34072047>yeaThus:Drama. At best attention and some conversation.Likely a dude with a bit of the tism too.
>>34072082what?
>>34072086>what?Apparently not too bright either, so likely less of the tism.There's boards for your type, like >>>/soc/Go there to talk.
>>34072097no
>>34070666>i feel trapped inside my own headWhat does this even mean?
>>34072133i am constantly thinking about thisif i like a guy i think about him and get ahead of myself which makes me 10 times more heartbroken when he leaves me and then i think about why he didnt like me and all the other times someone didn't like me
>>34072124>noLeft or right?Anyways, you just waste people's time. With a decent chance of killing some.>>34072133>What does this even mean?Ignore it, just observe how it's desperately fishing for attention over there:>>34072146...and killing people, but that's what it does.A vile creature.
>>34072162if you dislike me get out of my thread choosing to be unhappy is retarded on our part
>>34072166Nah, you're not looking to improve, just to chat.Aren't you?
>>34072176i would skin you if it meant i would improve is that right or left?
>>34070666moids cannot feel love. moids literally just want to rape and batter you
>>34072183girl go do your homework
>>34072178It's enough.Likely lost on you, but when you get back, remember.
>>34072186of course, kisses
>>34072189You're welcome.Love too!
>>34072202im not her but youre mentally ill, stop molesting other people you retarded incel
>>34072207At least you make it clear why you need advice.Bit twisted there.
