I'm 36, I'm too old now to let myself be degraded and humiliated by some foid with a three-digit bodycount.
Back then, I tried a few things, both in real life and online.
That ended with me being beaten up, laughed at, and mocked.
Or I was allowed to be an emotional tampon and I could read through the whining about Chad.
When I sent a picture of myself to foids, I was usually ghosted pretty quickly. Yes, before the invention of smartphones and dating apps, it was a bit easier to at least text a girl; sometimes it even worked without having a picture in your profile. There were countless communities and chat rooms.
But as soon as the foids saw me, the "magic" was gone. Or as soon as their Chad(lite) fuckboy had time for them again.
Eventually, dating apps came along, and that's when I finally realized it was over.
Of course, I don't have the money for betabuxxing, but even if I did, it wouldn't change much, and as I said, at almost 40, I don't need this humiliation anymore.
My mother humiliated and laughed at me often enough, and she said no girl would even look at me anyway.
Yes, at least she was honest.
I got beaten up when, thanks to my only real life friend and the internet, I somehow managed to gain access to normie parties.
"Be confident and funny! The worst thing that can happen is that she says "no."

Yes, I tried, and got a beating from some white knights. And probably from the boyfriend of a foid.
Unattractive boys aren't allowed to be confident and go all out.
Unfortunately, I didn't know that back then.
