Parents said I should get a gf (never had one) by the time I turn 22. I am turning 22 inunder3 months and I think 22 is still young, so I have not really tried, nor cared about trying. Quite honestly, I desire total silence more than anything else, so I can read and do the hobbies I enjoy without being pestered.Tell it to me straight guys, are my parents right and should I grow up and look for someone?
>>34783268out of 10 how would you rate yourself?you should look for someone before the pool shrinks. i mean it sounds like they're paying for you to persist in their home.are you not lonely at all?
>>34783268You should only date if you want to have soneone else in your life. If you don't actually want that, then don't get a gf. It would be unfair to her to date a girl just because your parents said you should
>>34783278I don't know, a 5, I guess. I posted myself on a rate me thread and I got a 5 from an anon. After going from 180 lbs to 150 lbs. I am 5' 6", so same height and weight as Napoleon kek.Not really lonely. I just want to build airplanes as a job and build little airplanes at home. I would like to be a father, I guess.Some girls have shown interest in me in the past, but I just brushed them off. One was because I was quite unwell and was hospitalized and became homebound for some years (thank goodness it was January of 2020, so life catered to me kek). Nobody has really showed interest in me at Uni, though.
>>34783290I mean, I know what I want, so if I see what I want, then I would go for it. Only even seen what I want a handful of times and usual I decide against it at the last moment.Last time I tried, I noped for a variety of reasons (just going into my field and dating someone of her nationality would have been too much of a security risk). Though Telegram is banned in her country too so, she was not all that good of a citizen, I guess.
>>34783293what do your parents say when you tell them you don't want a relationship? do you have any leverage?if you try to pursue someone, you have to put some effort in which it sounds like is past your limit.it's unlikely a woman's going to approach you for a relationship, unless you're a 9 or 10.
>>34783303I say it, but then they say "you will change, we just want you to realize soon enough". I guess I do have some leverage because they stop bugging me for a while, though.I could perhaps put in the effort, if I wanted to. Maybe I am bad at reading signs, but this girl kept eye contact with me and specifically started talking to me in particular out of all the other guys there. I don't know.
>>34783268Did your dad ever give you any advice at all regarding women? Mine didn't and my mom was of course totally useless when it came to that.
>>34783327just walk up to the girl, talk to them. if it goes well, then ask them if they want to go for coffee or a walk sometime.if it fails, you have a story to tell your parents that might give them some hope that you're putting in the effort.
>>34783268I wish my parents had pressured me to get a girlfriend. Having a girl around improves you as a man and keeps you occupied. You also have an outlet for frustrations (you can talk about problems to a gf in a healthy relationship) and an outlet for sexual urges.Date a bunch of women, even if they are fatter or less attractive than others would like. The relationship is about you and her, not other people. I will say this because so many young men marry a girl because of expectation to bag a pretty girl, even though the uglier girlfriend was a better lay, could cook, would go do activities like fishing or ATV riding and would put up with you being more of a slob.
>>34783439A little bit, yeah. Like how to keep things casual and look for signs of interest. I know how to talk to them, just a case of interest. My standards are not too high either.>>34783447Sounds good and low pressure, thank you.
>>34783466I think it is less looks and more humility. I honestly just do not want anyone heavier than me because then it becomes awkward (unless they are taller).I just want someone who has humility and is not extroverted. There are plenty of girls like that, despite what stuff like social media may give people the idea of. It is only natural that those with less humility are more vain and therefore tend to post more of themselves.Now that you folks mention it, there is this one girl I see somewhat often. Might try talking to her first, since I don't know too much about her apart from she likes vidya and watching anime and seemed pretty chill.
>>34783476>>34783495you got a plan. and it's a win-win. please the parents and potentially get someone out of this.good luck anon. you got this.
>>34783293you're a fat short fucker.
>>34783497Thanks bro.>>34783504I'm working on it, going to start my fasting again in a bit. I exercise an hour a day by swimming for a full body workout, some days I cycle too.
