False. I tried to introduce my wife to ttrpgs with a mecha game (she's a gundam fan) and she greatly dislikes the pace compared to vidya but we now have an ongoing "But Mr. Mechanic, how will I ever pay for all these repairs~?" bit in the bedroom.

>>96703228
I'm married. Have been for a few years now. We fuck most days.
Of the two other guys in my regular group, one is in a long-term relationship and I assume getting laid regularly, the other is single but his health insurance is paying for fortnightly massages at a Thai RnT joint.

My last group before this, two of the guys were in long-term relationships with their highschool gfs, I was single but getting laid at least once a week, and the last guy never struck me as someone who'd have trouble with girls but we didn't talk about it.

She is neglecting her part of the deal if she isn't taking care of your sexual needs. I get that talking to her about it is difficult because she might make a huge scene about it and a relationship counselor might just side with her and tell you of all the hoops you have to jump through to get some coochie. Men don't really have much leverage in relationships these days.

Nerds fuck. Of course there's a percentage of foreveralone permavirgins but thinking about my own TTRPG group 4/6 are currently in relationships while the other two have been confirmed to have gotten laid.

One would think so, but realistically there is not much I can really do. I am a shy asocial sperg that has failed at life, and at this age it is pretty difficult especially in this autism central nation I live in to form new social circles.

Were extremely antisocial people and I reckon trading alcohol for weed has made it worse. The younger generations do not drink as much as the older ones, but indulge more in the devil's lettuce. Then there are smartphones, food delivery apps, porn which have wreaked havoc on what is left of our social skills.

A lot of this is conjecture of course, as I haven't lived there for a decade.

>>96706073
Bizarre how Finns frequently top the charts for life satisfaction and happiness and yet I've known a bunch of Finns and they've all been antisocial alcoholic masochists.
Presumably there's some selection bias at play because people I get to know through online niche interests are unlikely to be well-adjusted. But either:
a) The only Finns I've ever talked to are part of a tiny minority and everyone else is happy and satisfied and not online I guess.
b) Finns are all antisocial shitposters who live in isolated cabins but quite happy about it.
c) All statistics are lies.

>>96703788

This is the one. Statistics by surveys are automatically flawed because the stats are only of people stupid enough to do a survey. That’s assuming they aren’t all just made up which likeliness is they are.

I have several friends from that part of the world and they’re all depressed chainsmokers and addicted to shit like gambling or drinking usually both. They’re miserable motherfuckers, never heard them utter a positive word. They’re always talking on some “Europe is dying” shit or lamenting over gambling losses.

idk, seems pretty self solving

I think I'm a piece of shit. Too stuck in a weekly cycle, work Tuesday to Saturday, I get Sundays and Mondays free and all I want to do on those days is just relax and not deal with people. Even happens on holidays, got off a two week one and didn't go anywhere, went for a few walks, stock up on supplies but mostly just stayed at my house doing fuck all other then hobby stuff.

Im never getting laid at this point, no woman would want a guy who's so stuck to a single cycle that any break in it causes him to be lost.

Extremely true, in OP's case.

>>96703228
There's truth to it: I used to do /tg/ stuff most weekends and also sometimes on weekdays but since I started dating I can't do that since I spend my free time with my girlfriend, who is a normie.
I tried introducing her to trpgs but she said she found them slow and the rules overwhelming and only really liked the fact that we were spending time together. (She is super sweet and I'd die for her).

I still play 1-3 times a month in a trpg group (we run a homebrew d20 system game)

So yeah, /tg/ players have less sex, but that doesn’t mean that engaging in /tg/ stops you from getting land, it's just that you will not be able to hobby as much when you enter a relationship.

Competitive CCG people are human detritus who put a lot of pride in their "skills" because they don't have a lot going for them outside of Magic.

>Bizarre how Finns frequently top the charts for life satisfaction and happiness and yet I've known a bunch of Finns and they've all been antisocial alcoholic masochists
It's because living in Finland supports that kind of lifestyle. If you live like that in the US you'll die homeless and bankrupt in no time, in Finland the state catches your fall and tries to get you back on your feet. That said I find my fellow Finns have no resilience whatsoever and regularly claim they're living in the worst country ever without any introspection about their own life choices

As someone in a similar mindset, you're not missing out too much on a gf. Yeah she'll listen to your problems and stroke your hair all that gay shit, and then you'll realize talking about your feelings sucks and life was better when you felt nothing.

Sex is overrated too, women are terrible at it. You do literally all the work and it's supposed to be epic that you're getting pussy. It's an exhausting and pleasureless experience.

Almost. Husband got the bipolar and it contributed to killing his drive. It sucks but at the same time we have almost two decades together so I hold firm and hope for change, and in the meantime accept chastity. It's honestly not that bad, just a bit sad. One of these days I'll offer to run him some sort of romance RPG one of these days and see if he bites. Middle-age hits you hard and fast though, some cope better than others.

That is because our cultural male ideal is antisocial alcoholic masochist; everyone is striving towards it.

Why are women obsessed with how much sex men have?

>>96706943
I dunno, I got nothing out of it.

>>96707063
Because women control men trough sex, duh.

That is why a lot of the shaming language women use towards men is basically just calling guys virgins in a roundabout way, because the implication that you can't get laid is an insult and indicates you as a man to have low value to women.

Sex is pretty hollow without love and your Sunday school teacher who said that premarital sex is like giving away a piece of yourself was right.

Overrated? Maybe. Porn addicts who get laid are often put off by the experience and want to go back to the porn fantasy because an actual woman has bodily hair/sweat/scars/stretchmarks/flab/moles or is into stuff you don't want to do and there are awkward moments where someone farts or a limb is bent the wrong way or something.

Sex goes way deeper than cooming of course. It's part of your self-esteem and overall mental health. Which is why both undersexed and oversexed people go totally insane over time.

>>96707063

They see the world as a series of dating/power/sex games. So dudes that are doing their own thing are confusing and horrifying to them. A force that can't be controlled so they instinctively want to get them on the leash again. And in a sense they're right, if there's too high a proportion of unwanted men opting out or rebelling, a society will collapse. Look what happened in Afghanistan: Globohomo occupied the country for 20 years, airstriked people who fought back, and poured trillions building infrastructure, training soldiers, encouraging commerce, and introducing feminism. But when the chips were down and the Taliban came swarming down from the mountains, no one was willing to fight and die to protect a neoliberal house of cards.

Different wizard anon here. I tried to do something about my loneliness both in my mid-twenties and in my early thirties. Every time I was just filtered by not having an idea what to do once I am actually talking to a woman. I have zero idea how I could even begin trying to turn normal discussion into anything intimate or romantic. None of it feels natural to me. At this point I just feel like it is too late to start dating from nothing, I don't think most women would want to be the first girlfriend ever to a man in his mid-thirties who is still wondering how holding hands works.

I admit I do often daydream of having a chance encounter with a woman like that, but as said, easier said than done. Dating apps just feel like hell every time I take a look at them. But I have never really clicked with any women adjacent to my friend groups either, not like there are barely any singles among them anyways. It is unhelpful in every possible way, but I do sometimes wallow in some regrets about not trying to actively get a girlfriend when I was still in college in my early 20s, I used to think I'll probably just meet someone eventually. Never did.

All good advice. I am a bit pessimistic about all that though, since I have not really been living a life of recluse (except admittedly couple past years), I was active in student activities and hobby groups through college, did hang out with friends and their friends past it, and there were women in all of those. And I survived through all of it with my virginity intact without ever dating anyone. Even if someone was ever interested in me I would not know, I probably would not get it unless told bluntly anyways. I am pretty sure that just living normally and meeting people along the way is not going to lead into relationship for me, even if it leads into friends. I just got no idea what to do differently to end up with a woman, since it does feel obvious I need to be proactive about it somehow.

That being said I do think I should try to find local groups more since I play anything with my old group and other friends so rarely these days anyways, especially face to face. I live in a small university town, so all nerdy hobbies and events tend to be stacked with people at least a decade younger than me.

/tg/ hobbies are shit for meeting women. I imagine if you're near a big ren fair that's a better option because you can just use it as a bar but you need bar money AND ren fair money.

Keep trying, it is never too late. Even if it doesn't work out in the end you can have peace with yourself, because at least you didn't give up without trying.
Dating used to be easier when we had traditions and a pro-marriage culture, but we all left that behind during the sexual revolution in the 1960s.

A lot of boys just go MGTOW now without properly trying because they are too scared or too much of a loser to try, it's a cop out. I understand those who go MGTOW after being divorce raped three times but at some point you must accept responsibility for your choices, and who you pick.

Depression is a symptom that you need to fix and change your life, you are not supposed to get stuck in that stage.
You sound stuck in the learned helplessness feedback loop. Only you can help yourself, but you have to want it.
Fall down six times, get up seven. Learn from your failures, adapt. Or stay stuck, your choice.

>>96708057
Why did you masturbate like this and not think it would have consequences? After such a long time I think you need to go many months of no fap for it to get better for your dick to heal.

>>96709531
Do not use dating apps, you have to get social in group setting and see if you click with any of the women there, do not have it as a goal but as a biproduct.
It can be volleyball, dancing classes, climbing, hiking club, pretty much any social activity or hobby. Find one you enjoy, it will be worth it for the fun and social aspect of it regardless.

>>96712621
Eh, as I wrote in >>96710264 I don't have much hope of just ending up with a woman as a byproduct of normal life. It did not happen in my 20s when I was way more social and outgoing so I got my doubts about it happening now either. Sure, just the social aspect alone is worth it, but I really do not believe I am going to end up with a woman just by living. By this point I am convinced it is something I need to specifically try somehow, or I will still be a kissless virgin in my 40s too.
That "trying" part is a mystery too though, since as I already wrote too, the act of moving from discussion with a woman into flirting with or touching a woman is unknown territory to me too. I likely would just come across as a spergy creep.

>How true is the stigma that men who engage in /tg/ hobbies rarely engage in sexual intercourse

And why did you stop? Btw, talking is also a skill you can learn, you can watch how people with carisma talk and try to learn from it, you can learn how to control your voice to sound a certain way, etc. Also, there are many women who are in the same situation as you, and not all of them are ugly or horrible people, as the internet might've led you to believe.

Challenge yourself every month, try to do things that you feel you can't, you will eventually surprise yourself.

Most og Gen X and millennial neckbeards have married and had children by now. Gen Z and later have their own wider incel issues that are not the fault of /tg/ hobbies.

>>96713207
I didn't mean that, I meant watching actual people who are good at talking doing the talking casually

>>96713236

I phrased myself poorly then, sorry. The book I mentioned is also good for learning social skills.

>>96713249
No worries. I just downloaded the book, will give a quick read to the first few pages 'morrow

In my D&D group there's 8 guys including me.
1. I am engaged
2. one is married and is expecting a daughter for this december
3. one is in a long term relationship that will probably result in marriage soon, too
4-7 had relationships before and are non virgins but haven't had a gf in some time now but have dates now and then
8. will die a virgin (I'm sorry my friend but we both know this)

in my MTG group which has a lot of overlap to the group above with just 5-6 people more:
most of them have gfs, 2 of them are a couple playing in that group


So from my personal experience /tg/ players are relatively romantically succesful. More have gfs/wives than not. Looks wise, we only have 3 that look like the stereotypical obese neckbeard but even one of them 3 has a gf.

>>96703228

I don't think talking in itself is a big issue for me though admittedly I have had some lifelong problems with stuttering whenever I'm not reading from a paper I can't seem to shake. Back in my mid-twenties I got to "dates" (if they can be called such) through pre-app online dating. I met four times with one of those girls and it indeed was nothing but formal and polite chatting over coffee every time including after one movie date, after which she just called it quits. I eventually got disheartened because it felt like I just can't get over the barrier between trying to make a girl I'm friendly with into a girlfriend. I got no no idea if she or the others were expecting me to make some further move at some point, if they did it still feels I would have had to guess. I suppose I could just ask if it is okay to try to hold hands or kiss if I get to that point again, it can't be much more spergy than my demeanor normally is.

>>96713454
Kek, at least you don't deny it.

Im married and have kids, that I keep as far away as possible from mentally ill predditors.

Out of my traditional and video game core group one is married with a kid on a way, one is living with a gf, one is single but is dating someone most of time. I am the only one out of them who has never been in a relationship and never had sex.
I can also confirm that just hanging out with people and meeting other people (also women) through them does not really do anything to improve the dating prospects, it does not just come as a "byproduct". At least not to someone like me, it seems.

>>96703228
In my current tight knit group I believe we're all singles, at least nobody mentions anything about women.
I've always been and always will be forever alone and I don't mind it.

You're not alone friendo. I'm the same. I'm actually pretty affable. I get along with everyone. I'm not unattractive. But there is some hurdle I've never quite managed to clear and I don't know why.

Sad thing is I know at least one woman who'd jump at the chance of a relationship, but the age gap is enough to make it completely unviable.

>>96714082
That's just an empty platitude. I think it is plenty of "doing" to have doctors put me under and zap my brains, take meds and go to therapy. It is natural to lose hope when nothing you do seems to work to fix the issues you have.

>>96703228
My best pal managed to get a gf thanks to a game I DM'd. The gf in question is a complete basket case barely functional for adult life, but he's happy to have a dependent daughter-wife that can't do anything on her own (honestly, I should have understood that when he essentially took control of her character because she could not understand the rules)
Another good friend of mine got a great gf that essentially find all nerd hobbies boring and creepy but she has been educated by her parents that "men do man things and you have to accept that" and never had a partner before my friend so he's good
Another got a girl 15 years his junior and she essentially does whatever he says
I get the feeling the basics of a good relationship for nerds is to have a woman that has been educated/is born with natural submissiveness, because every time I tried to build a relationship on equal grounds it crashed and burned. I'm honestly quite miffed by that

I retreated into hobbies as an escape from a far more generalized rejection than just that by the opposite sex.

Admittedly, if you have a good woman at your side, you can take on the world, and maybe win a place for yourself.

I am a born mutant; I am cynical, developmentally delayed, have an uneven distribution of abilities that frustrates people around me, and am functionally an inept cretin, who talks people to death about concepts beyond his actual mien.

But I dream.

Sing me a song of the surnames.
Where the heather ran red with quarrelling blood.
Of bastles afire and kinsmen laid low.
And shaggy red cattle away in the snow.

I dream the long nights of watch on the Pele tower, and mistaking the same twisted tree for scotsman eight or nine times, before I give it a name.

I dream I am somewhere else, and somebody else.
It is a diverting game.

it is almost as good as kitbashing with irreplaceable 1980's heroquest miniatures from a partial set find.

Finns are stoic, through and through. A finn could be bleeding to death and he wouldn't want to raise his voice to ask for help because that would trouble someone. That's why when asked on those surveys, the Finss claim to be happy, because it would be a tremendous social faux pas to say otherwise. Happy people aren't anti social, averse to physical touch, and have such a problem with alchohol consumption that the government has to have strict regulations to keep the populace from drinking itself to death. You look at places like Mexico where even though it's a shithole with significantly lower standards of living than finland, the people are much much happier because they have a strong sense of community, aligned purpose, and family.

honestly I feel like nerd hobbies in general are pretty shit for trying to meet or get girls. Actually attractive nerd girls are somewhat rare and therefore are taken 99.9% of the time because someone snatched them up. Not to mention that they will always have an army of orbiters just waiting for their chance. The remaining ones are undesirable for a variety of reasons, either being landwhales, tumblrinas, bpdemons, or some combo of those
and you're not going to find the true shut-in nerd girls because they're shut-in

>The remaining ones are undesirable for a variety of reasons, either being landwhales, tumblrinas, bpdemons, or some combo of those
Not meaning this as an insult, but do you think you deserve better than that? And I guess that goes to all the foreveralones as well. Don't mean to go for the first one with a pulse, but a lot of these discussions come down to "I took a look in the store and nothing caught my fancy." Maybe I'm on the cusp of getting old or something but back in my day, youngster, you had to walk uphill both ways, and you got drunk and you fucked and then you hung around to see if you didn't hate each other. This somehow lead to long-lasting happy relationships. Whenever I see people talk about how they can't get a partner, it seems that you're all filtering out prospective partners before you even know if they like the same food you do, or if they like dogs, or if they think sallets or hounskulls are cooler.

>>96726596
I don't see the point in pursuing a relationship or sex or anything with someone I'm not attracted to. Might as well just jerk off, there's far less hoops to jump through.

you'd be surprised, everyone has their thing. A bit off topic but I'm personally more turned on by women being attracted to me than I am from being attracted to them. Maybe that's narcissism, but the point I'm trying to make is that it's different from beating your cock to static images.

There is a happy medium between obsessing over your appearance and letting yourself totally rot and it's already plenty of work.

A huge part of it is cooking your own food, getting fresh air and sunlight and keeping yourself and your home clean and dressing like you mighcthave somewhere to be other than the unemployment office or psych ward.

When you live long enough to realise the 5.5/10 Quirk Chungus you routinely ignored in orded to pursue thr 6.5 Ice Queen who did the same to you left to find someone capable of paying for groceries and breeding, you will stop holding so much of yourself in reserve.

I'm going to be completly real with both of you. I understand this is 100% a me issue but I simply do not know any single women and have not known any for years. I'm not exaggerating, thinking back maybe one of my co-workers was but at the time I couldn't afford to risk my job for a relationship. I'm well aware that I'm not the easiest person to be around let alone date, but because of the choices I made those "drink and get to know each other" situations never came up except for one person, and that didn't work out. We did have a few good years at least.

The point being that once you let down your guard and give up your inhibitions for a night, you might realise that someone you initially dismissed actually had a quality you are really drawn to, and you might end up caring about them. Once you get past the surface level qualities of person like they fucking love sonic the hedgehog, you'll find they have other qualities that you might not just like, but consider essential for a relationship. It's easy to make stereotypes out of people when you don't know them, and forget that there's a whole person beneath the facade, and that person's favourite movie is the same as yours. But whatever, you'll figure it out eventually.

At this point I've resigned myself to life of loneliness. Even spending time with other people just makes me resentful of them, their relationships and families and what not, because they remind me of my own solitude and a life I can never have.

The classic 80's "nerd' sterotype has been completely dead for nearly 20 years now and absolutely everything that people associated with it is now fully normal and in many cases even desirable.

Neckbeards in a video game or fantasy t-shirt who, despite those things being popular with mainstream crowds, look like nerds because they aren't just aren't cool. There's a universe between "I like spiderman movies" and "I will argue to death about the best Spiderman writers and get butthurt over retcons and that one panel in one issue where Spiderman said black people are OK"

Real nerds dress in black because they don't have confidence, or they're turbo-autists dressing in three piece suits, OR they try to be cool and think wearing a spikey bracelet and motorccle boots will make them look like a tough rocker (which they erroneously think is cool)

Why not? Not him but I have rejected women before
I simply refuse the social convention that men are supposed to fuck at the drop of a hat as if it's some mark of distinction for a man

Pretty sure trannies and their prison gay simps are the subgroup de jour for the current cohort of socially incapable autists and obnoxious rejects.

>go look at an incel forum
this is the answer, trve nerd culture was absorbed by the incel movement. You do get older proto-cels who definitely lean into the old stereotypes but they're a dying breed. God bless them and their Darth Vader t-shirts.

Everyone deserves better than a bpdemon or tumblrina.

How is it fixed? And why is it persistent?
Please tell me the cure isn't fucking meds.

Can't tell, for sexual intercourse requires either being in relationship or paying for hookers.

I don't know enough about your relation ship but the details you've provided sounds like the relationship is kinda over.

I started reading that out loud to the tunes of Ievan polkka, and it worked out pretty well.

>having children
Make a lot of money to hire a surrogate or try to become a sperm donor. I don't think the door is still open for me but you could have a chance. I'm the same as you...

Same and 37 here. I stopped caring about sex and relationships like 12 years ago. I doubt I’d have sex with a woman even if she initiated it now, not that it’d ever happen. I hate having to act normal or engage with other people. I just want to sit in my house and play video games and paint minis alone.
