Am I missing out by not having a gf?
>>18514143
Yes, on good and bad things. Like everything in life, you can't just imagine how something feels or is, you need to experience it.
THat said, getting a GF won't make you happy necessarily, so don't rush. Let it take it's time.
if you never had one, yes
otherwise, no
Not really. You can totally be happy with yourself
yeah. not that you're better off with one, but you have to experience it i guess
>>18514143
A good relationship is something you're def missing out on. That being said; it's difficult as fuck to find a good relationship and most of the ones people put themselves into are shit and make your life more difficult.
>>18514143
Think about your peers. Think about how rich your life is, and know that they have that same richness. You are "missing out" on an infinite number of things, but only because you are reaching out for them instead of feeling the richness of what you already have.
Yes and no.
I have a very great relationship, if I do say so myself, so if every relationship was like that, I'd say you definetely are, but there are a lot of things that could make it bad, and even what I perceive to be great, you might find very stale or annoying.
If you are enjoying your life right now and don't feel like something is missing, I don't think you're missing out.
If your life is miserable and something is missing, find out what it is, because a girlfriend will not automatically make you feel good.
I'd personally say, you shouldn't just get any girlfriend for the sake of having one, but if you spot a girl that you feel you can't live without, or at least think fits you very well, then the time for a girlfriend has come.

>you have to experience it
Why?
>>18514143
If that gf is me... then yes.
>>18514224
I guess that can be seen both ways.
I may be missing out on sex and love. But a couple that I'm friends with, they always tell me of how jealous they are that I have the ability to travel anywhere I want when I want. I've traveled overseas 3 times this past year, and every time they tell me how I'm so lucky. They can't afford to do this because they are about to have a child. They may never really have the chance to take lots of trips.
>>18514356
its not that you are required to experience it, but there are feelings and experiences that come with dating that I simply cannot describe.
Its a little bit like trying to describe the color blue to someone who has lived their entire life in the dark. Words wont work, you have to turn on the lights and show them.
>>18514378
Oh, well I guess that makes more sense. However, I don't think it's something I'll experience. Which, desu, I can accept.
>>18514143
Are you missing out on anything when you're having a relationship with someone just for the sake of having a relationship, which makes you feel awkward and uncomfortable, and that strains the relationship from the start?
>NO
Are you missing a genuine connection with someone who you can love, share feelings with, and can connect with?
>YES
So go and put yourself out there anon to find that someone you can have this with. Sitting on your arse all day and waiting for this magic person to show up will do jack shit.
Buy a dog anon.
Or a pig
Ask yourself this question right after masturbating. You'll have your answer.
>>18514143
Youre missing out on as much by not having a girlfriend as I am by not being single.
Its just different, thats all. New set of highs, new set of lows, an a heck of a lot of new bullshit.
Which one is better is subjective and everyone will disagree, but youll long for one when you have the other. What is it they say? The Grass is greener?
>>18514356
I cant explain to you the flavour of something you haven't tasted, and even when you do, you might like it you might not.
Theres no describing what a relationship is like. New hookups and young relationships are crazy town (because the body produces natural hormones thats basically fucking cocaine to encourage mating behaviour and pair bonding) so that parts awesome almost no matter who you ask.
But it levels out and then you just have a roommate who you think is pretty cool sometimes, pretty annoying other times.
>>18514146
FUCK OFF there is nothing good about not having a gf.
A gf would make any man's life perfect.
>>18514657
Troll?
>>18514657
>MGTOW
Lookout, a big faggot just blew into town
>>18514622
>New hookups and young relationships are crazy town (because the body produces natural hormones thats basically fucking cocaine to encourage mating behaviour and pair bonding)
It sounds like that should be something worth avoiding
>>18514667
Not a troll is it really that surprising that someone is lonely
>>18514686
I am not a homo.
I would like a woman, but there personality are too hive mindy and toxic if you get what I mean man
>>18514143
Honest reply from a man that is 25. I've had a girlfriend since I was 18 till I were 23-24ish. That has been the best time of my life. Period.
Not a single day passes without thinking about her. I recently bought a home and while preparing it, ie painting, I think about her dad, because he is a painter. When I am cleaning, I think about how she'd think about the home.
Coming saturday I'll be moving in (starting a topic about that in 10 minutes or so), and I guess I'll be very lonely. I've already made a dating profile and texted like 10 girls, but none of them replied (some replied using a default not interested text).
>>18514700
>should be avoided
I dont know what there is to be avoided by one of the best and greatest feelings life has to offer.. I mean its not actually cocaine, man, obviously. Its just a good comparison to the highest fuckin high you get.
Either way, It is what it is man. if youve been in that new love thing where you can read a phonebook together and its magical and wonderful.. Thats extremely high dopamine...
But the question was about relationships anyway. Long term.. Some are good, some are bad, none are without bullshit.
>>18514711
>surprising someone is lonely
No not that part, everyone feels that..
But completes a man? Thats coming from someone whos obviously never been in a relationship...
The feel levels out. There is no madly in love forever. You become comfortable and life pretty much normalizes except youve got a roommate (who if you chose right isnt so bad.)
But completes a man? Thats extreme brother. Just because you havent had it doesnt mean everyone else should feel the way you think it feels...
>>18514711
>hive mindly and toxic
I think mgtow is a hive mind. Also, toxic.
Crazy how you can dehumanize an entire group and any individual member of it, anhuh?
>>18514744
That just sounds dangerous to me Tbh
>>18514758
Why?
>>18514754
It would complete me, You have no idea how fucking lonely it is being this age and never having had a gf, I have never been loved anon, that just hurts to know that
>>18514756
Men like culture, the arts and science. Women... They want Chad. I wish it were different I really do. Don't you wish that females would wake up stop listening to the same top 40 chart songs every day and get a personality. Saying that even I would like anyone I could get. I don't even care about looks.
>>18514789
dude you're completely delusional
I've never been in a relationship and I don't blame the world for it and make up a justification like that
have you honestly never met a woman with real interests and personality? go outside or think harder
also this
>>18514756
>>18514789
Oh.
Ill go tell my past girl loves, the PhD toxicologist, the mortician/funeral director, the epidemiologist, and ill tell my current girlfriend, the tattoo'd truck dispatch manager to go back to pink shit and sparkles.
Also some of the literal greatest astronomers if the 20th century should hear about that too.
Ill also write an open letter to all universities the fact women are currently dominating the sciences in academia and university they should stop accepting them because they dont actually like it.
By the way friend... What you read in internet forums written by bitter ass failures with women is not an accurate depiction of reality.
Jaysus christ man. Its not women. Its you.
>>18514830
>women in sciences
social sciences are not sciences you fucking retard
>>18514761
You describe it like a drug. Which to me, it sounds like it can become addictive. So, if that girl who's making you feel so great leaves. You'll be all fucked up
>>18514857
Drugs work because it games your reward system....
Cocaine for example coaxes tour brain to overproduce dopamine to an absolute extreme..
Thats also how your brain tells you you like shit..
Anything you like, anything at all, people, video games, food, sports, exercise, movies, showers, cool tshirts.... You like beacuse it triggers a dopamine reaction.
Thats what drugs are, what they do and why theyre addictive. They make your brain does its own natural brain shit in a huge way.
If youve got a problem with that then im sorry to have revealed to you your entire life and everything you love essentially s drugs.
>>18514830
Nice troll m9
You know they are the same, I wish it were not tru but it is I would like a gf, but they ALL only want Chad until Chad doesn't want them then they get with a beta provider who they hate and wish they were a Chad.
>>18514829
I do go outside and all I see i attractive guys with gals. I am so fucking lonely it just pisses me off, how would a gf not make my life complete?
Not really. I finally got one and I'm fucking miserable. At the very least, don't date crazy.
Here's the simple truth,
A gf only adds value to your life when you are happy with yourself.
Otherwise you're shooting yourself in the foot.

Truest post in the thread right here.
Although I wouldn't underestimate the value of getting your heart broken, shit can do an amazing job of forcing you to wake the fuck up and start getting serious about your life.
