>be me>be 24>have physics degree, in grad program of dream>have a 50k starting salary as a teacher out of college, kids love me>has family that loves and supports me>financially self sufficient >comes home, still depressed because no wifeGuys, realistically, how do I cope? I am grateful for what I do have but it fucking sucks being on the solo grind with no woman to suck the bad juju out of your dick. I have almost everything I want in life, which hurts. How can I remain humble despite my dilemma? Or is wanting love despite having everything else the antithesis to humility?
You work a school so there should be female teachers
>>84021453what's your specialization
Tbh that doesnt sound like a good deal. A masters is 6 years of study to end up as an incel school teacher. Being a teacher also sucks its one of the real jobs.
>>84021572I'm going for Ph.D. I'm a teacher now but I eventually will become a professor. I like teaching, though. I've always seen myself as a mentor>>84021545Astrophysics, going into nuclear engineering. Wanna specifically learn about fusion science and I wanna help design stuff like fusion reactors>>84021474None young enough for me or my type, but maybe I just need to work in the big city
>>84021572>one of the real jobs.What is wrong with a real job? Someone needa to look out for the younger generation.
>>84021453I was in your spot years back. I didn't go the college route but I started my own business and by 28 I was able to stop going in and just "work" from home. I realized that I had ground my dick off with focusing on work after high school I never focused on the social aspect of life. I was 28 and alone in a house i just bought. And I thought to myself whats the point. Wasnt i trying to be successful to bang women? like thats what i thought as a teen "just make it and its all gravy" then you stand at the finish line and there is no one
>>84021619What's your type? Figuring that out might give you a ballpark for how and where to look for someone
>>84021740Tomboyish black women but still retain feminine aspects and shares some interests with me be it creative, or hobbies. Needle in a haystack, ik. It's not like they don't exist though, but I've just never been successful romantically
>>84021453>Guys, realistically, how do I cope?hey man i'm a 34 year old failed shrink with an undergrad making 45k a year, and i still figure it ain't too late yet. might be delusion in my case, and might even be intentional targeted self-delusion so that i'm not depressed! it's possible that you're fucked for love, but it is also very possible that you aren't. reckon you oughta try and focus on that second part, with the first part only in the back of your mind, as a part of reality. best of luck!
>>84021816>reckon you oughta try and focus on that second part, with the first part only in the back of your mind, as a part of reality. Sounds like some advice my old man used to say to me. Thanks, oldfren
>>84021846no problem, man. i gather a real sense of gratification from having said a Good Thing at the Right Time. so thank you for allowing me that sense for a moment. could i ask at what level and subject you teach? if kids at school love you, i betcha you aren't anything close to a lost cause romantically. we're in Babylon for a good woman, so i can't give you actionable advice besides attempting to comb through dating apps and give a lot of first shots. don't care for it much myself, and i live in the sticks so that's about my only avenue besides camping the few bars. ain't doing that. if you're in a grad program though, you gotta look there. unless everything's gone completely to shit since 8 years ago when i went back to finish after dropping out. man i didn't know how good i had it in undergrad, but i was just too young to know. many many such cases, such is life!
>>84021453just find a trad christian woman I guessalso all this is meaningless unless you achieve biological immortality, which is now possible since AI is a thing
>>84021453date a student
>>84022062>could i ask at what level and subject you teach?High school math and physics. I teach mostly 9th and 11th graders.>if you're in a grad program though, you gotta look there.I definitely will. Hopefully there's more of what I'm looking for where im going.>>84022083I don't believe in the "trad Christian wife" meme. And no, AI will not contribute to biological immortality anytime soon.>>84022097Unironically, kill yourself.
yeah I work with fish and reptiles, really love my job and everyone there treats me really well. no complaints.still feel that emptiness every day. I know it's depression and not like a real threat to me but it still sucks.
>>84022119>High school math and physics. I teach mostly 9th and 11th graders.aw hell yeah you'll be fine man. they'd fucking eat you alive if you weren't someone that could, conceivably, land a nice wife. best of luck out there. you'll probably be alright m8
