What validates me as a male?

what was it that destroyed your confidence so completely? what have you done to build it up again?

Have you ever been interested in a girl? Have you ever asked one out for a date?

Same boat as you. I simply don't care anymore. I'm too awkward for the type of chick i like and i don't think it would last anyway.

Being single also means you can do whatever you want.

I guess just consistent failure with no real positive results. I don't mind failing but failing and not seeing results is.. will breaking. I have changed up strategies, tried no strategies, tried going full preparation mode, tried asking friends for help. Nothing seems to work in terms of getting me to a point of relationship.

I have been interested in a few women in my life. One of them I am still enthralled by even though I cut contact with her because she friend zoned me. It was just too painful to see her with other men even though we were friends. I have asked women out on dates but rarely do I manage to get a second date.

I honestly don't know what it is about me. I have asked friends for a honest opinion and none of them can see anything glaringly wrong. Most of the women I date friend zone me which leads me to believe I am so how coming off as not "sexual" enough? It might be my demeanor. I don't have that super "adult" demeanor. I am an adult but I have a youthful face and no beard(can't grow one). I also am not a really sexual person in general(have not had sex and I don't like making it seem like I am only out to get sex).

Essentially, I am just being myself but myself isn't good enough it would seem.

Are you interested in sex? If so, go to a prostitute. It will help you get out of your shell.

>cant get second date
Dont be yourself and pic related.

>friendzoned
Keep trying, lower your standards and be bold. Also always show them you find them sexy.

I know this is shit advice, but dating is all about blind chance, a luck.

Bro I feel your pain 2 years of my life I spend on nothing all my brother and sister left the nest and I am the only idiot still there living with my parents at least they didn't kick me out.

it seems that after the graduation I have nothing to do. Great use 4 chan and congratulations you will never get any girls .

Live all your days with your parents. 30 years later they died your brother and sister forgot that you exist.

20 years and you are old man probably died watching TV with a beer holding a beer .

Well, I started lifting weights. Which lead me to reading a lot. Which lead me to making a lot of money. Which combined lead me to fucking over 30 girls. Which lead me to finding a bitch whore who cheated on me when I was the only income in the house.

what strategies have you tried?
how do you go about it if you don't use specific strategies?

>>18663425

I have tried online dating, I have tried cold approaches(I hate that, I don't have the personality for it) I have tried asking friends for hook ups or connects with women they know that are single.

I have tried being patient and just waiting for an opportunity to come. I have tried being aggressive and actively seeking opportunities(going to malls or conventions specifically looking for women.) I have tried going to malls and NOT specifically looking for women.

Basically, nothing seems to really work.

oh, so you tried different approaches at "getting to know girls".
i meant more strategies on working on the underlying issue. as in, have you gone to therapy or tried to pin point what the issue is yourself and how you could fix it/cope with it?
i once have read a phrase that stuck with me: "work on the character, not the behaviour".
doing the first would be like trying to polish a car before even washing of the dirt and scratching it in the process instead of making it look shiny and beautiful. it's just not getting rid of the root of the issue if you try different ways to talk to girls. they will all fail as long as the underlying cause remains in place.
