How do I stop caring about romantic relationships? I couldn't figure out how to get a girlfriend, and now that I'm 35, it's highly unlikely that I'll ever will. It makes me depressed.I'm already lifting, running, going to boxing class, volunteering, and attending board game clubs regularly.What else can I do to cope with this?
Well there gotta be something that turns off women or made them not go any further with you.Not being a dick but it could be your looks, dress style, personality etc.Be humble and not seem too eager or desperate. Don’t come on too strong either. If you want an honest reply you’ll need to give us details about yourself to pinpoint what it is.My first red flag was the anime girl gripping a pillow. If I was a chick and saw a bunch of anime memorabilia I’d back away. SOME women dig that though.
>>34486427>Well there gotta be something that turns off women or made them not go any further with youThat's for sure, I never had a woman interested in me. I have some autism, I'm bald and generally find myself unattractive, so that could be the reason.Honestly I'm looking for ways to cope with this, because I don't believe getting into my first relationship is possible at this age.
>>3448648Man, don’t beat yourself up. Maybe get some new clothes, try a new style, be cool calm and collected as much as possible. You’re on the right path with exercise, but there’s someone for everyone out there dude. I just saw some article where a dude lost his lower half but his chick is still with him. You got both halves man, you can turn it around. Gain confidence, wear some nice cologne, and make sure you’re happy because that will come out in the way you present yourself.
>>34486401Stop coping nigger.>lifting running Solo aftivities> boxing, board games, volunteeringMale majority activities.Go where women are (back to college, part time jobs, language classes).Stick to it for at least one month. Find intersticial (inbetweening) spaces to pull her apart from her friends and invite her to something you enjoy.If you enjoy nothing, you are doomed.
A jerk a day keeps the feelings away.
>>34486401>35>still posting anime girlsWe need more men like you on this website.>How do I stop caring about romantic relationships?Urgh... Are you religious? Try to dedicate yourself to your religion/God, maybe it can help...
>>34486498lol this is the fakest thing ever
>>34486401>35>What else can I do to cope with this?Actually, have you ever tried cold approaching a woman in your entire life? How many times? It's impossible to have all these things going on and not have a girlfriend by your side, my suspect is that you jester maxed and you forgot the most important thing, to approach women, to have contact with them, to talk to them, to show your feelings towards them. They don't want a boxer, a volunteer, or anything like that. They want you to approach them. If you let people on the internet say you shouldn't, because it could be called harassment, you should just ignore them. How else would you be able to meet them?
Well half your life is over and the last half will seem much faster anyway, you won't have to suffer for too much longer. We are all at the mercy of things we can't control. But as Morrissey said, there are things worse in life than never being someone's sweetie. You can either accept what fate gives you or fight it and feel 10x worse in the process
>>34488202Loneliness cannot be lived with, it causes severe health problems.
>>34487680Jerking off every day is bad and can cause erectile dysfunction.
>>34488235A severe health problem is being a literal cripple. Loneliness only feels like the worst thing ever to people that haven't had what they take for granted taken away from them yet.
>>34488304Loneliness causes inflammation (which increases the risk of heart disease), brain shrinkage (which leads to memory issues and and impaired ability to enjoy social interaction), and sleep issues, among other things.Overall, it has a worse effect on a person's health, quality of life, and life expectancy than smoking, drinking, or being obese does. A lonely person cannot live an optimal life, they're extremely likely to end up dependent on expensive medication just to function and end up dead by 65.
>>34488330Nobody is talking about 65 in this thread though. Or the risks. They're talking about a problem that they're having today. To say it "cannot be lived with" is an overly dramatic statement. And this is coming from someone who used to have manic suicidal episodes because of it. I'm just saying, you don't realize how much worse it can get, besides just loneliness.
>>34488363I've been fighting loneliness for 20 years and the inflammation and sleep difficulty has been a recurring thing since it began. I take medicine for them, but it barely helps.
>>34488379I am sorry to hear that.
>>34488235>Loneliness cannot be lived with, it causes severe health problems.it's not like there is an alternative
>>34488774Sure there is, finding friends and a girlfriend. It's not insurmountable and is in fact critical to surmount.
>>34486401>going to boxing class, volunteering, and attending board game clubs regularlyHow is that supposed to help? Yeah board game clubs, very sexual environment. Unless you're a teenager a relationship starts with sex. Go to a fucking bar and hit on a milf or some ugly hag and get laid retard. Try getting pussy not getting a girlfriend. Loser.
>>34489023This is dog shit advice.
>>34487741How is it taken you fucking retard. Maybe actually change things about yourself and things will change about your life. Fucking reject.you’re probably just like OP
