I'm 30. I started college again and I never felt this old. I can't connect with anyone because I'm too old and they don't want anything to do with me or they are too young for me and I can't have an equal relationship. Girls my age are complete whores and I can't connect with them and 18-20 year old girls are so icky about the age difference that makes me feel all awkward and like a pedo. I can't connect with dudes my age either and making friendships at this isn't the same and coming from broken 10+ years relationships seems like it can't compare. I feel like Frodo at the end of lord the rings. I want to be loved and have friends but I can't connect to anyone. They say that men don't really age but I really feel that my time has passed.What can I do? I'm always weary because I don't have friendships, I have people to spend useless time and they will forget I exist the moment I escape their line of vision.
>>33651170Why do you care about the opinion of other people? Fuck a milf. Fuck an 18-year-old girl. Get drunk at a bar and sing chanties with the guys there. The world has much more to offer and you are in the golden age, that can fit into any social situation - not young, not old. The linitstions are only real as long as you believe in them.Oh, and the last girl rejected you because of your spaghetti and not because of the age gap.
>>33651170You're just self conscious Chill out brah
>>33651239I'm muscular and a bit chubby. I could crush 95% of males of my college campus with my hands but it doesn't matter, I have the dad bud orc look and not the slimy one.And I want a family, and I can't have sons with a whore.>Rejected because macaroniIts all about looks.>>33651243How can I get rejected because I'm self conscious if I don't even say a word? Whore just says a short phrase and puts her look away again.
>>33651170Relax, I’m an expert in hand to hand combat, recently I was involved in an exchange where I was forced to use my skills which resulted in two people going to the icu. They claimed they were trained like me and kept provoking it, I am going to court but I’m not worried, I was defending myself, the fact that they are 11 and 12 years old shouldn’t have any bearing on my case. Basically if not worried, you shouldn’t be either OP.
>>3365117030 is literally the best age, get fit and go get it
>>33651258I'm not talking about that, what I mean is that I'm strong and I even have that reverse pear look on my chest a bit, but because I have a bit of a tummy and boobs, it doesn't matter. I can hide it a bit with shirts but it's not magic.>>33651278I literally see no way I can get an 18 year old without looking like a creep.
>>33651170It largely depends on how handsome you look. That's it. Remember when anon posted a story where he was called a creep for trying to hook up with a girl at a party? He was 21. She was 20. She still called him a creep. But it was not due to "age difference". Because he was not handsome and/or had charisma.That's all. Lose fat. Lose as much fat as possible. Face fat and body fat. Face fat is more important. Dont overthink it and just follow my advice. Also, hit the gym and/or boxing like crazy. It will give you new self-confidence. New looks will help a lot with confidence as well.You are welcome. 30 is the best age. I am 31 and regularly match with 22-25 years old on Tinder. But I am not fat and regularly go swimming and to the gym. And I wear clothes that actually fit my body, no oversized baggy crap.
>>33651317Hey retard, have you gained no life experience or what? Emotionally Manipulate those retarded toddlers we call 18-19 year old girls because they’re retarded toddlers who can easily be emotionally manipulated. Boom shackalacka
LOL.We’re the same age, but when I was in college my autism made me feel that way too, so I didn’t really make the most of the experience.Are Master’s students part of any orgs? If not, maybe check online platforms for events happening in your city where you could meet older people. Back when I lived in NYC, we had The Skint, which was super handy as it made recommendations based on hobbies.
>>33651170I'm 30 started college earlier this year. My shit social skills are carrying over and people aren't playful with me as they are with others. They do try to invite me but my brain is slow to follow up with a joke.Stop caring about age difference and if it's such a big deal, just try to dress like a rockstar and get a wild looking haircut. People will like it and find it cool, it will boost you a bit but in the end it's your demeanor that will ruin things.You have to get out of your headspace at all costs. Having friends, sharing stupid shit with them, anything that comes to mind helps with it. You probably have at least some interesting life experience to tell people so they will listen to you a bit.Also there are many kind of girls, there's absolutelt rotten chicks that have been intentionally hooking up with 30+ guys since highschool. Sure they are distant bpd damaged whores but know they are out there, chicks into older guys are probably more sexual in nature, looking for aesthetics and vibe.To me the killer is that I have no real reason to be in most places, people are busy in their degree, no common interest goes on when randos are waiting in the courtyard, so try to join clubs, specially at the beginning of semester to meet people open to know you.
>>33651170The fact that you've got a preferred age means that your mind isn't in the right place
>>33651691So what? Do you think it's best to fake being a normalfag, trick an ugly woman into fucking you, be an ass at her because you don't really like it, hate your guts for conceding to a faceless society instead of giving a shot at your right to live the way you want?If your mind is not in the right place that's carrying over from the fact other people were fucking with you. Let society live with its consequences, you will figure things out only if you try living by your own will.
>>33651170Stop being ugly and retardmaxx.
>>33651691All the girls my age I've meet are broken whores.No, I won't form a family with a tattooed girl that has fucked 30 guys and now wants to hang out with me because of pitty.
>>33655165Sounds like you're just jealous that those women have already accomplished what you're trying to achieve yourself
>>33651691No it means he's stable and wants to be with his actual peers, not pretend he understands or cares about what a bunch of teeny boopers do.
>>33655177But I don't want to get tattoos and fuck 30 men
>>33651490>Hey retard, have you gained no life experience or what?where do you think we are? of course he hasn't (neither have i)
I'm taking some recommendations for some new hobbies along with ideas of how to get into them, I'm a bum who sits at home and at work and sometimes works out. I like getting /out/ into nature and national parks but only have enough vacation time to make those trips a couple of times a year unless I do mini camping trips.
>>33651170I started community college at 18 and already felt old because it was full of high school kids getting dual credits. We had to do a group thing so I sat down and said hi to them all. They completely ignored me and I just stood up, walked out and never went back.
>>33651256>How can I get rejected because I'm self conscious if I don't even say a word? Whore just says a short phrase and puts her look away again.because at the pathological level, your self consciousness guides every decision in the direction of self destruction, and it oozes off of you.
>>33657295What's the solution then
>>33657959Have you ever stood up an entire night and kept just going the rest of the day? You don't only feel like shit tired, you may feel GOOD, feel like the world doesn't matter, like you listen to music and live it, i've never been drunk but this is what having no inhibitions feels like to me.You have to practice get into that mindset, clearing your mind of worries, risks stakes, and live like an animal. If you're feeling it, you'll be able to go to a woman, say bullshit, go away, go to another woman say bullshit, and just not care about anything. Out of all the tries more than one will be somewhat receptive. You can't expect to gain their trust in the very first contact. Just make your interaction be low stakes, make it as you're playing, that you're a break in their shit lives.(Attractive) Women are absolutely sick of simps proposing to them, they're not comfortable with rejecting them or being called sluts. They treat better whoever persists but doesn't thirst them.
I also recently started uni (MA) while in my mid thirties. It seems the other students dont realize yet im 10+ years older than they are.
>>33651170>and 18-20 year old girls are so icky about the age difference that makes me feel all awkward and like a pedoyou have been brainwashed. there is nothing pedo about 18-20. you need to undue your conditioning, no man outside of americans in the last 5 years has ever thought this
>>33651317>I literally see no way I can get an 18 year old without looking like a creep.a creep to who? you seem to be judging yourself, most people don't care about judging you. even if they did, who cares? why does their opinion matter?
>>33655177>>33651691a women's accomplishments in the corporate world don't matter. neither to mens
>>33651170I’m in pretty much the same place except I’m not going to college. I’ve had some success by making a bigger effort at being a friend to others. Treat it like a numbers game. I don’t relate to people my age either but there are a few I have found that are cool. It just takes a lot more effort. Maybe try graduate students? They’re older and more responsible usually.
By 26 I already hated all the college parties. Young people at 18 of age are genuinely retarded. I could not connect with them even if I wanted to. What is the angle here, to with young people? You want to be a step parent?
>>33651170Just be yourself. There are 27 and 28 year old men and women at my university. I even regularly see a 34 year old freshmen at the vet center.
>>33651170https://youtu.be/lqZehFAwoTM?t=32It's over as soon as you turn 18 and leave the school system without a well established social circle. You go to work, but you won't make any friends, just coworkers. You join a sports club, same deal. It's over, because everyone already has their social circles locked in since childhood. You'll be nothing more than a coworker, destined to be alone for life. Social life and relationships are like trains you have to catch at the quay, a race against time that takes place during adolescence. And by extension, logically of course, no social life and no women.But normies don't understand this because they are clueless normies who think you can walk into a bar full of strangers and magically form a social life like in The Sims. Only women can start from scratch and create a social life and get a boyfriend from scratch because of their status as women.Whether you're 30 or not it doesn't change anything, maybe for the normies, but for you and me Chud, a year is like any other, the sands of time flowing towards nothingness, nothing more.. nothing less.
>>33651170You have to just embrace being the old man with experience.You have a 10 year relationship under your belt. No doubt that shattered you and forced you to reflect on everything that went wrong and what you won't do in the future, right? This is invaluable insight to any zoomoid who wants to hear your advice, especially one who's never been in a relationship anymore. I know plenty of zoomoids who come to me for advice after my 6 year relationship shattered and I became a husk then built myself up again. I even give advice to women and have female friends now.Just don't be a weird sex pest or anything. You can get laid with zoomettes, but you can't be pushy about it.
>>33651170Fuck friends, find hobbies
>>33660711I'm not brainwashed, but they are. I think they see me as a pedo. One guy thought I was a teacher. I don't even look that old, I only grew a beard.
