Im am 25. I never moved out of my parents house. I never moved to a new city and made friends with a bunch of young coworkers my age. I never tried drugs at a party. I never got drunk and did karaoke with my friends and went back to my place with my girl coworker who Ive had a crush on for months. I never started a band with one of the line cooks and played shows. I never did anything at all. I have done nothing and I am nothing. How did I get so old? Where do I go from here?
i am in a very similar position, op, only i am 27i am attempting to cope by living the teenage years i never had. call it pathetic, but its what i can do. trying to have as much sex as possible and drink and stuff. its my cope, my solution. only im very well aware its cope, so
>>80078861How is it going? Do you feel like you are making up for lost time?
>>8007855624 yo here and kinda similarim in no rush financially as I inherited shit and have a homebut I want to live my life, maybe go back to college
>>80079007>how is it goingbad. i get lots of matches from younger girls on dating apps, but talks go nowhere. they are either weirded out by talking with (what they perceive as) a much older man or i simply lack basic social/flirting skills any dude my age should have. both are equally possiblebut i'll keep trying, keep going on. it's the only thing i can do, really. experience as much as i can out of life before i get older
>>80079034weirded out? can you elaborate, i wanted to date younger girls when I got my shit together and that puts me offwhy the fuck would they match with you if they get weirded out then?
>>80078556I'm 32 and have zero life experiences. better do something now while you can.
>>80079075i dont know, my dude. if i did, id apply that knowledge to my talks and get them anywhere. i do get loads of matches from 19-22yos but conversations go nowhere. one of them that did go well told me at one point 'her parents would rather she dated someone her own age'. this was a 20yo talking to me while I was 25. it was shocking to me and it probably is shocking to you, too. some see things this way and im not even american where theyre crazy about pedos and stuffanyway, try. who knows
>>80079075they like the ego boost
>>80078556all of those things are just images, shit people aspire to because they think its 'cool'. doing drugs is not cool, starting a shitty band or having a drunken fling is not cool. what actually sucks is not having friends and not knowing how to form them, not knowing if anyone would even like a person like you, not being able to do healthy, normal dignified things that everyone does to live a full life. i could probably go party and get drunk and hook up with a stranger right now if i really wanted and afterwards id just want to kill myself because it would just be yet another transitory meaningless experience that is forgotten as soon as its over
>>80079122b-but anons here always told me girls LOVE older men and that we dont peak until our 40s
>>80079470i am the 27yo dude. my lifts are the heaviest theyve ever been. my body looks the best, too. in a way, i am in a physical peak. dont feel any decrease in libido, hairline is alright, skin is alright, so onbut their opinion is their opinion. i think its absurd, but what can you do. some (most?) women 20 or so want men around their age. what classifies as 'around their age' varies
>>80078556Sounds like you live a half normal life. Like half the shit l listed off is dumb shit you only see in movies and tv. Real life is pretty damn dull and only as exciting as you make it. Also never shit were you eat and try to date coworkers
>>80079499It's funny cause everyone I know that's partying every day like OP describes is still living with their parents
