Daily reminder that time spent socializing or improving your image (its as easily as jogging 3 days a week) not only improves your productivity and all the chemical shit that make you develop new learnings and retain information, but also your quality of life.
Please take care of yourself anon, your art should be one of your top priorities but your health is quite important too.

Drawing (or any productive hobby you are passionate about) makes you more attractive to other people. As much as /r9k/ type folk would deny it, women much prefer someone who is interesting and cares deeply about something, anything really, than someone who wastes his time and is apathetic to the world and his very short life.

Keep drawing and be happy anon. Most people aren't particularly attractive so you've got the edge with your interest in improving yourself, something Western culture only superficially embraces.

I'm in art school right now and I'm surrounded by girls but every time I start talking to a girl and arranging dates they flake every time.

I never really had trouble getting a girlfriend back in middle/high school. But lately since I started taking my studies seriously I've lost my connection with humans. I'm even loosing connection with my friends. Shit is rough, I feel pretty alone.

and my art is still not even close to where i want it to be.

Am I the only one not interested at all in getting a girlfriend? I just don't feel like bothering being so much with someone else while I can just draw instead. And for sex I can just fap on my own, it's like going to the toilet or washing yourself.

don't let flakes put a dent in your confidence anons, this is just a weird thing that all girls do for some reason. they flake more on eachother than guys.

i'm a girl and i've rarely ever been able to get other ladies to hang out with me outside of school/work. most of them even have the audacity to INSIST that we hang out, only to change their mind after i've gone through the trouble of moving my schedule around for them.

the key is to not give them too much time to think about it. girls have an attention span of a fucking fly. if it's spur of the moment and includes alcohol, your chances of being flaked on go way down.
>>
>>2403301

I like to talk online like here, wouldn't go that far. I have tastes far off from anyone I know, that's also why, most people don't know any of my favorite artists.

But meh, socializing is overrated too. Between talking about random shit with people, chatting with them while doing coop games and drawing, latter is way more satisfying. I'm enjoying myself, isn't that the point of life?
>>
>>2403316
I don't really care. Each time I have a sex urge I just fap and done. Not like there is any point for it, sex is for making babies in the first place and I'm not interested into making a family.

Getting trough all the bother of getting a girlfriend just for sex seems like a terrible deal.

May I ask what happened anon?

I'm sort of going through something similar. Funny thing is, she is somewhat the reason why I started drawing more. She does art stuff as well and I really liked her work at first but now looking at it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Well, maybe more like mixed feelings. Essentially I asked her out on a date and she said she was busy because of uni, so I asked her if we could go out after the term is over and she just gave me a maybe. I was confused for the longest time until I sorta brought it up again and she just told me "she didn't know me well enough" even though I was talking to her for a couple months and took my time with it. She still acts all cute and shit and it's fucking annoying. We still talk and hang out but I don't know. I kinda want to get good at art so I can surpass her. I'm only 20 and she's 26 so I really want to be so much better soon or by the time I'm her age.

I just wish she just straight up told me she doesn't see me that way instead of pussyfooting around the idea. It's painful to still act super friendly but just "being friends" and not being honest about it. It's insulting that I don't get a proper rejection. Just false hope until I realized what's going on. It's fucking dumb.

TL;DR : I'm just confused about a whole situation with my artist friend who I have a crush on. She can't properly give me a fucking no.
>>
>>2403632

Yep. But if you prefer to be alone with your hand good for you I guess.
>>
>>2403649
Either that or having a loyal gf is preferable to your scenario.
But I digress, different strokes. If it works for you then have at it.
>>
>>2403651

It's not about me though. That anon complained that getting a girlfriend in order to get laid was a lot of work. I simply explained that you don't need a girlfriend to get laid.
>>
>>2403648
You're just reading into it too much m8, and your feelings for her are influencing how you see her actions towards you.

Many women aren't direct when it comes to this. I have a co-worker, hot little Asian chick and this guy in another department is always asking her out and hitting on her. She's always nice to him, and answers his requests with "maybe". Soon as he leaves I get an earful about how she doesn't like him at all and how he's a creep... I'm not saying your situation is this extreme... but woman will be like that. I just flat out told the guy in front of her that the reason she keeps brushing off his requests is she doesn't want to date him. She thanked me about 50 times... didn't want to be rude or mean.

You anons are right.

This whole experience just adds fuel to my fire. I just can't deal with women if they do stupid nonsensical shit like this.

It is not very hard to politely say "No, sorry I don't really see you that way". I understand that if someone is not attracted, they are simply not attracted and knowing that just helps me move on that much faster, but you know what. This whole experience was pretty much the last straw and made me lose hope in finding any woman with a sane fucking mind. I've really tried to stay optimistic but all my interactions with women have proven to me that they are just immature brats with no fucking insight on anything. They are devoid of any deep thought or analysis.

I really hope to become like this anon
>>2403323
and just forget about women and work on the things that I love. Work so goddamn fucking hard that women will be nothing more than a disgusting pile of shit while my art fucking flourishes and grows.

What's the point of killing people like a dunce when you can become way better than them? Show them that they are fucking insignificant shit compared to the things that can be accomplished. It's more satisfying that way. If they just die then that's it. They can't see how much better you are then them, or how your goals and achievements are bigger than anything they can ever hope to be.

So you spend a couple of months befriending a fellow artist from your school. Well, she thinks you are befriending her, but really you are feeling her out, pretending to be friends in the hopes that eventually she will fall in love with you. Then, after months of completely platonic “friendship” you ask her out.
Since you've spent a couple of months building this pseudofriendship, she is hesitant to reject you outright to spare your feelings, so she brushes you off with a hesitant “maybe”, but only after her initial excuse has failed to convince you.

Now, someone with self confidence and tact would realize that, if you asked her out and she brushed you off twice, then never mentioned it again, she wasn't interested in you romantically.

You, however, do not push the matter, and decide that since she didn't spell it out in bold letters that she wasn't interested, you will just slip chameleon-like back into the guise of her platonic friend from art school. After even more time passes, you finally come to grips with the reality of the situation. She does not want to date you. You can't admit that maybe its your fault that you aren't confident enough to just ask a woman out, so you respond with anger towards her and all other women for “leading you on”

I bet you still talk to her frequently, and you smile to her face while inside you boil with fury that she has the audacity to be “cute” around you.

I have tried being straight forward with women and just asked them out right of the bat. One of those times also involved an artist girl coincidentally. She proceeded to say "Sure" and gave me her number. Then when I texted her she would give me short answer responses or seem uninterested. I was confused, so later I talked to her about it and she told me she was uninterested and proceed to walk away laughing at me with her friends.

So yeah, even though that event fucked me up I still decided to try. So with the current girl I thought maybe getting to know each other as friends and seeing if we have a lot in common would work. I also just wanted to know what kind of person she is and all of that. I guess I was just being cautious due to previous experiences.

The thing that really fucks me up about this one though is that we have a lot in common, we like the same stuff, and browse the same websites (i.e 4chan) so I just thought maybe it could work. I'll admit I'm not super knowledgeable on dating and women, but I just tried to use a bit of common sense, but I just feel like a complete idiot right now.

Wow, this seems like the perfect thread to write something for you guys that I've been thinking about.

I frequently travel to a different town to see a childhood friend. Every time I'm there I see this girl who is friends with him.
Now since I'm no longer quite as retarded or terrified of people as I used to be, I always chat with her and sometimes at parties flirt a lot, just for fun, without thinking anything. Especially since she seems to like it a lot.
Now last time I was there was something else. I said I wanted to draw her again as we were playing some games, I had done it before, just for fun and practice as always.
So I kept telling her how her hand positions looked cool for the picture, how the head tilt was nice at cetera as I was drawing. And moved her legs and arms back if they moved.
The thing is, she was really into it. She is kind of shy, but it was really, really obvious what kind of looks she was giving me, touching me, even hinting about sex. I don't want to sound like an autist but you get the picture.

Point being, I brushed her off totally and didn't do anything. Because I genuinely didn't care this time. I am the stereotypical ugly hick who got played by all his past crushes, never experienced and interest from girls. After enough years I got used to it, and it's funny. I would have jumped on that opportunity in the past, she really is beautiful and all. I realized then I'm too far gone.

Drawing and my artbros is all I have left now. Thanks if you read this shit.

Think about it this way, if you're a guy.

There's a chance if you have sex, it will be with a crazy chick. Not crazy insane, but 'drag your name in the mud' crazy and 'ruin you if you slight her' crazy. factor in the chances of stds, infidelity, and, in for myself as a black male, being called the father of someone's baby and having to pay child support for a child that isn't yours, falsified charges where the courts are against you, sex isn't in your best interests.

Maybe you could hire an escort, or get lucky and find the right person, but risks like these make such an escapade questionable in its execution. It's not a big fucking deal, everyone's shit stinks, don't hang up on it and etc.

Shit, just remember that greentext about the guy who fucked his ex after she broke up with her current bf, and when he didn't want to get back with her she made up a story about him raping her. Luckily he caught the entire thing on webcam.

Better to take something to heart instead of write it off, and bemoan your actions when something similar happens to you. There is nothing wrong with erring on the side of caution. I can understand your point of view, but I have my own.

i'm not cute or beautiful at all but i consider myself pretty cool. and i like to draw cool shit as well.
