Happy Birthday Mate. The good years will come I promise, but I do feel bad for you, women of your generation appear to be fucking mental.

Also don't end up like me:

>Recently come out shitty Relationship
>Find that most women my age are now fucking desperate, damaged goods or both
>Younger women can't make a conversation on topics beyond "lol drinks" and "I like holidays"

Thats not the part thats pointless. Its the look im drinking alcohol mentality. Also the need to put everything on social media. Not to mention all the money they are wasting. Those people barely have anything in their savings and just think thats okay because they are "kids". When in reality they are full blown adults with maturity issues. Their "interest" are shallow and they have no intellectual merit.

What line of work you in?

As a junior lawyer I make a fair bit and still party as hard as I did in School and Uni. Most of the partners I work for, who make a shitload of cash, hit it just as hard as I do. Nothing changes, in fact, the only difference I can see is that even more money gets spent on drugs, alcohol and dick waving.

My idea to get laid is to make physical gainz and social gainz

But college students are so fucking busy (or so they say) in the final 30%ish of each semester and it took me too damn long to figure out how critical it is to make social gainz and by the time I started ramping up my efforts to do so it was a never ending stream of (sorry bro too busy)

Also the only way to join clubs here is to go to the stupid sovo fair and it was cancelled because of snow

Gonna rush a bunch of frats next semester, join all the clubs that look useful, and call up everyone I know from last semester and try to meet new people too

I gotta do it by November or else the semester is over because at that point its just "lol gotta spend over 9000 hours studying for a 40 question exam a month from now" coming from everyone

>Virgin at 19.
I was worried about this when I was your age too, moreso that I hadn't had a girlfriend yet and it made me extremely socially avoidant and weird because I was insecure. Found a gf at 20 and things started to get put into perspective a lot better.

There is a whole bunch of virgins at 19 who just aren't talking about it, take it from a guy who is 26 and at the tail end of the entire collegiate time of your life you are entering now.

A lot of the people around you have never been in a real relationship, haven't had sex, have been sheltered and are just entering that phase of their life. All of them are nervous and insecure.

Keep lifting and work hard in school but don't let your inexperience with intimacy get you down, and don't sacrifice those experiences for moving up on the barbell a little faster. Getting strong is a marathon, it's not a race.

Get some friends, go out and party, join a club, go on tinder. Let yourself mess up and allow yourself to be open, don't be afraid of potentially saying or doing something dumb, literally we've all done that.

Enjoy your time now, all you really have is your experiences and what you make of them. Happy birthday anon.

Hey man, nothing wrong with still being a virgin at 19. I lost my virginity at 19. Now I'm 24 and I've slept with 6 girls (3 long term relationships). I just finished up my master's degree, pretty fit (stats right around 1/2/3/4 at 170 lbs and 12% bf), and I'm starting my first full time job just under 6 figures in a month. Just because you're a virgin at 19 doesn't mean your life will suck.

If people are being nicer to you, you're going to make it. Just keep going. Try to be outgoing and talk to girls when you can. Go to parties.

I'm 5'11" and went from 145 skellington to 155 less skellington. Even if I went to 180 ottermode beefcake like I want to I doubt I'd be any happier

Nothing can replace having something to wake up for and look forward to every single day. I have these 3 month cycles of self-improvement and apathy. Even though I make progress in life I don't see it at all. I always feel like I'm treading water. I'm only alive because it's become a habit

Means to an end bud, I was in your same situation the only difference is that I had two friends that teached (tought? Fuck it Im not a native speaker) Me how to bust out of my cocoon. I didn't liked to go to parties or clubs because I was anxious and thought that people who where there wouldn't accept me and most likely want me to leave. This how ever is far from true, learn your strengths ( are you funny?, handsome, a good listener) and use them to your good. There will be a couple of cunts that will mock you but you have to handle it like the manlet from game of thrones (wich one am I right lulz) use your weaknesses like an armour, so no one can use them against you. Don't over do it tho, then you'll look like a victim and no one likes spending time with them. Take the banter and give it back, with moderation until you are sure you are accepted. Lastly you are not a gold coin, not everyone will like you the best way to get friends (and pussy) is to have fun and be fun. Drugs help out with this.

lol me
I'm 22 in college, but still lost in life. I hate my major and I'm not sure what to do with my life. I thought about just going for a business admin degree, but I've been told that wont' get me a job in the future.

Also I'm still having feels for my lesbian friend. We would used to chill a lot and then we just kinda lost contact with each other. I started texting her again and she said she would love to hang out with me. I'm happy that we are talking again, but I'm kinda sad too because she will never be mine.Also she's in a ldr with some chick and I know that they are deeply in love with each other.

so I guess I just gotta move on or stop being friends with her. The funny thing is at this point I'm not sure if I'm really "in love" with her or not. I tend to "fall in love" with pretty much any girl who gives me attention, so my mind, heart and dick gets all confused.

lol fml bros.

What I'm about to tell you may sound like the most fedora thing you've ever heard, but most people, like 99% of the population are dumb. Not retarded, and not "bad" people, but dumb. Foolish, immature, inconsiderate, selfish, self-absorbed, egotistical and/or childish in general. Those qualities can be found in any class, from any race, to any and all kinds of person. From Ph.D's to African tribesmen. but that does not make it any less true. Most people are dumb.

That being said, all young people are dumb, and those in their early 20's somehow manage to achieve even greater immaturity then when they were children, I'm not sure how, but I think it has something to do with lack of responsibility.

Social media is the lowest form of forum on earth, and no lower form of public dialogue can be found than that seen constantly on social media. As the anon below your post stated, intellectual merit and quality of character are not important, as those things are boring and whatever. Academia is not a life-long pursuit, nor the greatest and most important aspect of anyone's life; it's an inconvenience that keeps you from vaping and drinking bro, or at best an ad hominem argument for getting yourself out of personal responsibility, because your teachers failed you bro, it's not your fault you're a loser.

Financial stability is not important either, money is made to be spent on whatever you want, quit worrying so much about it.

And if you disagree, everything on earth is subjective, it's just different opinions, quit killing my style bro lol, stop liking what I don't like. #SORRYNOTSORRY.

Everything in this post is 100% true, and this is coming from a guy who turns 19 in a week. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only non-retarded millennial in existence.

Also read these books to completely obliterate any idealism you had about people in general.

Donald Trump - The art of the deal

Barbara Pease - The Definitive Book of Body Language

John Gray - Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus

Robert Cialdini - The Psychology of Influence

Dale Carnegie - How to win friends and influence people

Don't get too sad about it, I'm 19 and I've had sex with like 10 girls, it's alright but finding someone you can be passionate with and spend time with is a lot better, most girls I meet are shit quality and the ones I'd like to date intimidate the fuck out of me cause I'm 5'8 with shitty teeth, everything else about me is pretty decent, doing my 2nd year of electrical school and I should be happy but my first girlfriend in highschool cheated on me and that's how I got into fitness and now fitness is just holding me together

Don't ever get drunk or start drinking in order to meet new people. If getting drunk every time you go out is the only way you can have a good time with your friends, I think you seriously need new friends. Alcohol is a literal poison for your body, so good job on avoiding it.

I get the logic that exposure to women makes sense but honestly, how to overcome their natural cold and uninterested behaviour?

>>
>>37148844
>force
>trick
Nigr, are you for real?
Women enjoy positive language, good looks and of course a good personality. Good looks is the first step, all attraction is based off looks at one point unless you meet in a library or somewhere you can talk so she can understand that you have a nice personality that works for her. Not all women are going to like you just like you aren't going to like all women. Some women are just bitches just like the apparent Alpha Chad is a cocky prick. Those type of people usually deserve each other. You aren't going to end up alone, you just need to realize the difference between yourself and them and work on that.

Im just not seeing it
When i talk to a girl im moderatly interested in either:
1. She mentions she has a bf
2. She completly lacks interest
In both cases nothing happens and i cant really change that
if i try to make a move she will either back down due to lack of interest or the fact that she has a bf, doesnt really matter which one it is because end result is the same
I need to make her think she wants me
>>
>>37149195
Have you thought that maybe you're just not interesting? Sometimes these things come natural in understanding women and their signals and signs. It's also possible that you're trying to go for girls that are out of your league. As long as you practice with keeping an interesting conversation with her about her, you should be fine.
Personally, i first make eye contact before i talk to them to understand that they actually want to be talked to by you.
>>
>>37149267
Yup, people online always love to mention that and i honestly dont take offence like i used to
I do stuff, i can keep conversations going and i can talk to anyone about anything
I dont think i go for girls out of my league, in fact i usually aim for average looks with good personality. Most guys i talk to dont agree at all with my view on what makes a girl pretty so its not likely i shoot outside my league

problem is 8/10 girls are in a relationship already and sure, ive thought about sniping them from their bfs but thats alot of work friend...with no guarantee it would work since she might notice im trying to replace her bf and get turned off the idea
>>
>>37141863
Why are you guys so pathetic.

>>37149340
Stealing a girl from a guy isn't a lot of work it's just not a bro move. That's what i used to do once i graduated high-school and i used to think it was fun until i realized what it almost feels like for myself. My friends were hitting on my girlfriend when we were doing long distance. Not cool.

Where did it all go wrong? Can you loose your way with women? Or are girls in the ages of 20+ just a new level of bitches?
>>
>>37149370
Sure it is, you need to play a very sly game
You need to make her think she is interested in you, make her think she doesnt love her bf anymore, make her uncertain enough not to get swooped up by other guys, make her certain enough so he doesnt win her back
Ïts a time consuming effort because you also need to get to know her and make her trust you

Ofc its not a bro move but hey, a guy has to get laid and loved in some way right?
