Hi all,
New to the forum so thought I'd introduce myself. I'm 26 and still a virgin, consider myself involuntarily celibate although I know that the 'normies' (I don't typically use this kind of terminology!) would consider that a lie, e.g. because I could just sleep with a prostitute or something. A combination of things, including being a virgin still at this age has been a great source of misery for me for quite a long time. I consider myself above average attractiveness, intelligence and also approached a lot of women, also 6ft, keep in good shape due to MMA sparring/training and am a little lazy but have ambition (I just need to wait for those sporadic bursts of inspiration to get me off the interwebz ). I don't want to say I'm depressed (I'll leave that to a psychiatrist/psychologist) but I've definitely been feeling down for ages. Really and truly, it's sad that I haven't been able to fix this one aspect of my life (celibacy) because I feel I have a lot else going for me
Sometimes, I go online and I do google searches like, 'why can't I get a girlfriend', 'what can I do to get laid', etc. and tbh all the responses suck: 'be more confident' (I think I'm fairly confident); 'hit the gym' (ok, I slack off on the weights more than I should but I am pretty physical and if you're doing MMA, those guys are definitely making you do your circuits!); 'approach more girls' (look, I have already had the balls to approach plenty of girls and still do from time to time, what do you want me to do? risk getting a restraining order!?). Then there's all the nice guy b.s. guys being like "I'm nice to girls, why can't I get a girlfriend" and feminists being like "well, you're not genuinely nice then!" or "you've got nothing else going for you!" ... assumptions much? It basically means the guys like me doing all the self-improvement stuff, NOT expecting women to owe me anything and NOT being fake-nice or anything but actually showing some balls and assertiveness ... well anyone else that's in the same boat as me (well tbh I've never really met anyone like that, not even online) we're just lumped into the category of these rapey weirdo guys. No offense to guys that are just bad looking or whatever.
Well, I'll make more posts like that but for now just want to keep it short. My username is 'TriedAndFailed' because to be honest, that is me - I tried to be successful with women and to be honest I failed. Many women (not all women!) nowadays are encouraged by western culture to be very superficial and prissy - especially if they are attractive anyway. Their standards for what makes a good approach is just too high: they don't realise how difficult it is to think of something unique and interesting about a woman to say to her right off the bat without resorting to physical compliments or generic opening material. On the whole I'm pretty frustrated. I would have called myself 'TryingAndFailing' because I'm still technically giving the whole thing a shot but to be honest I'm just pretty drained. I don't see any success with women in my immediate future. I could bust my arse off at the gym, run around town scaring off women and read a bunch of articles on investopedia in the hopes I get rich but realistically, I don't think I'm going to get that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow anytime soon and I can't really be bothered. I'll still put in a bit of work here and there because sheer boredom and frustration will drive you to that more than anything else but I really don't expect anything.
I look for pretty much any vent when I'm not putting the effort in - frustrated google searches, typing out respectable, non-profain and thought out forum posts or youtube comments ... also try to convince people that not all incels are these Elliot Rodger-esque serial killers ... I just try to bring some sanity into the whole 'nice guy' debate and the misconceptions people have about incels but don't know why I bother. This is the internet after all. The way things have been going, I probably won't get laid by the time I'm 30 at which point I'll just go ahead and get a hooker because let's face it, if you're still a virgin at that point you've got no chance. Probably already don't. I know that all the PUAs and self-improvement gurus would say this kind of pessimism is just self-defeating but you know, I have immersed myself in what they think is a 'positive mindset', I really have and it's never worked any of the miracles these self-professed experts bang on about. I really wish that 90% of these guys would shut down their websites and stop selling their overpriced products, they never helped the vast majority of guys they profess to be of assistance to.
Anyway that's me, hope to speak with you all reading my post later (I prefer to communicate by posts on here than private message, thanks).
