Never cared about relationships entire life

fuck

If it that important to you then go out and talk to people you'd like to date?

Not op

How do you go out and talk to people?

Are you feeling the social pressure?

I'm 25 this autumn and I've never had a GF or gotten laid either. I don't actually want a GF or a relationship though despite all my friends being in a relationship and being adults and shit. I'm too focused on my job now that I've graduated college and moved into my own place. I need to focus on my own money and learn how to properly budget. I don't have time for distractions like that. I've seen what happens to people falling in love. Most girls my age aren't interested either because I look like shit and I'm not very charismatic or charming. In addition to this I'm a weightlifter and I spend all my free time either eating to get stronger and lifting or sleeping/being at work. I would have to give up this if I were to get a GF.

you go out and talk to people

Jack off and you'll be fine.

I've been trying to since the start of the year, but when I'm walking past someone on the street there's usually no time to say anything other than hi

I live near the beach and I went there a few times but I don't know what to do and say to start a conversation

Go to a night club with some friends and do as much MDMA as you can without dying, the rest will come to you naturally

I don't have any friends

>Are you feeling the social pressure?
Not really. I just want someone to cuddle with.
I've been managing on my own since forever without even feeling lonely, but now it feels like I need someone closer than just a friend

Fuck im the same, im 23 also and never had a long term gf. I wonder if ill be hit by a tfw no gf truck soon.

>tfw 23
>tfw first gf
>tfw nothing but wasting money and sex

After the 500th time sex isn't as good as it once was. They also get angry when you want to go gym and not spend the entire day with them.

>How to become an insufferable faggot and lose all self respect in 2 easy steps

Ask some cute girl to rub sunscreen on your back, then proceed to sit next to her and comment on her aesthetics

I don't use sunscreen cause I don't wanna get cancer

Start making small talk with people in public. Not necessarily flirting, just practice talking to them while in line at the grocery store, or Starbucks, or at work.

you sound like an insufferable dweeb

You sound like my fatass friend who thinks only douchebags wear muscle shirts.

>tfw my job requires and mandates a certain level of fitness
>tfw my wife still gets upset when I go tở the gym, despite the fact that I'll lose my ability to support the family if I start getting fat

The good feel, though, is that she's started talking about wanting to come to the gym to get fit with me.

OP i'm 24 and am in my first relationship.
Let me tell you, it sucks shit.

She lets me put fingers in her ass and cum in her mouth but sex is objectively really not that great and not worth the time i have to spend with her.

Its a huge time drain just like video games except video games are always fun.
The lovey dovey cuddling shit is cool for like an hour but i cant help but think i'm wasting my fucking time with her.
She's intelligent and i get along with her but she's not the woman i'm going to marry.

Its all a huge fucking time drain bro. I think people have nothing better to do so they decide to have relationships.
And the worst part is when you're in one it's hard as fuck to get out again.
If you have some goal you are working towards its better to focus on that man.
Dont fall for the female jew

I don't work and my mom cooks all my food and buys the groceries

What are some other public places to smalltalk people?

this, sex and gf are the worst memes you can fall for

Set boundaries then faggot

Add eye contact x 5 to your routine

You could always start working

I also forgot

>have to constantly show them attention, and if you don't some other guy will
>constantly want time together, and gets angry if you listen to ear buds or watch youtube videos in bed on your phone because "she wants time with you beforw bed"
>gets jealous
>constantly wants to cuddle and cant have ny space in bed etc..

Honestly, everyone should tey a gf but after a while you'll notice it's mundane as fuck and the obly thing you do is waste cash.

I've never had a proper job cause a long time ago I made some websites that got popular and I have my own company selling ads on them

Sounds codependent desu

Should I go talk to a girl if she makes eye contact several times?

As cool as that it, it might be worth it for a part-time job in retail to get social gains. Plenty of qts working in retail.

>How do I build a house?
>Oh that's easy, just build the house :^)

How do I into friends at a new city? I realize that all my friends back home I only knew because of school. Not so easy when I'm not in school anymore and just working a dead-end job.

pls help.

talk to fucking EVERYONE
you need to get your baseline social intelligence way up

Most introverts realise at some point that you can't get around having to deal with other people, however because it is in our nature to avoid most social interaction we only learn to socialise when we really need to, i.e. when we want or need something from the person we're conversing with. You need to learn how to talk to people not because you want something from them, but purely to get joy out of the conversation. Talk to literally fucking everyone you meet. Do this for a few months and you'll start to get the hang of it, and eventually you'll have no problem talking to girls.

Do you ever wonder how people seem to effortlessly be charming and fun to talk to? It's because that's what they've been doing all their lives. While you were busy getting to 1000+ hours played on runescape they were socialising and hanging out with people.

Trust me when I say that the more you talk to people, the more you socialise, the more shit will fall into place. You'll start to have epiphany after epiphany and you'll just "get it". You don't need to read books or watch youtube videos or any of that shit. JUST FUCKING TALK TO PEOPLE. A LOT. Humans are social creatures. You'll figure it out without even having to think about it, because it's what your brain is supposed to do.

That being said, reading or watching youtube videos on socialising might speed up your progress so don't be afraid to do that as well. RSD todd (todd valentine) is great, especially for talking to women.

same here but you could say I have a bad case of "yellow fever" as much as I hate that term

wasn't interested in relationships for a long time, but when I realized that I could actually have a good relationship if I worked hard enough for it it hit me like a baseball bat

and for some reason it attracted me to the hardest way to get to that that I could imagine: learn Japanese and find a girlfriend in Japan

I know, it sounds just as sketchy to me but I don't think the regular "yellow fever" truly applies to me. I'm not out for sex at all, in fact I would be fine with a long distance relationship for now. I just want to achieve this and I'll will and can do whatever it takes

end of my autistic post

I know you are supposed to do this to train yourself up and I've been trying to since the start of the year but I literally can't start conversation with people

There have been only a few times where I've been able to exchange a few words with a stranger

It doesn't help that this place being near the beach is full of foreigners and especially Russians who I hate

it's the other way around m8

Also 23 here. I have no problem with talking to other guys, I have friends and go out from time to time.

But the thing is that I absolutely suck at interacting with women. I have no idea how to do it, so I end up being a boring, serious faggot when talking to them. That makes them lose interest after 5 mins of conversation

Seriously, how do I become playful and witty around women? I think they're boring and they think the same of me

Being jacked and having an above average face have helped me out though. Girls are much more open to approach and some even approach me but somehow I still fuck it up

Why not? You have nothing to lose by saying hi and trying to banter a bit.

>tfw 23 and also never had a gf
>also a virgin
>suddenly a fucking 9/10 qt with an amazing body starts showing interest at work
>laughs at all my shitty jokes, stand so close we touch each other, look into my eyes
>too beta to ask her out

lmao that guy

>but I literally can't start conversation with people
Join a group or something where you have an interest in common with the people there. The conversation should flow naturally if it's something that you're both interested at, and if it's in an environment where you're "supposed" to be talking about whatever that thing that interests you is.

>It doesn't help that this place being near the beach is full of foreigners and especially Russians who I hate
Don't give me these fucking excuses. I don't care much for muslims but I could still talk to them and make them think I'm their best friend. I really don't give a shit what your beef with Russians are but get over yourself and go talk to them anyways.

Watch RSD Todd (or maybe he's called just Todd Valentine these days) on youtube. I'd say first of all binge watch all of it just to get familiar with the core concepts, and then watch them again but this time around try to put into practice the concept he's teaching you after watching every video.

just act dumber. Works for me.
When I'm talking to women I just act like I'm talking with my close buddies who always act goofy. I just change the topic from sports or some manly shit like that to something girls like.

With most men though my conversations are more serious, yet with women, unless I'm in a serious situation, they're just more lighthearted, and slightly goofier.

>find a club near you that sounds like something you would enjoy or at least not hate doing
>chat with people there

Best case scenario you find a qt and hit it off. Second case you make some friends which builds your social circle which increases your odds of finding a qt down the road. Worst case you make no new friends so you're exactly where you started with some social gains from interaction with non internet people which makes the next try more likely to succeed.

>talking to people is on the same difficulty as builiding a house
That's some turbo autism but I won't judge, I've seen worse after all
Talking to people is not something to be just studied and executed
Just strike up some small talk things
Greet your neighbours, talk to people at stands or something, talk to people at the register or with people inside clothing stores for example, people at the doctor's, etc etc
It can really be whatever
What you'll need is courage tho. Push yourself even if it feels uncomfortable at first

This isnt r9k faggot

there are people in similar situations to you. Just research what's available, and get out and experience it.
Social scenes are pretty common in most places, you should be able to go out and meet people.

Shit advice because idk what you're into, just figure out things relating to your interests and find social scenes involving them.

Something that has helped me deal with social anxiety is to start with the assumption that if a conversation doesn't work it's because the other person is boring. Ymmv but I know myself well enough to know that I'm witty and funny enough to hold a conversation. Think of it like a game of tennis, you serve and if they can't hit it back maybe they just suck at tennis because it's not that hard to serve.

Yeah I should probably grow some balls.

Two weeks ago a qt Spanish tourist was eyeballing me whilist I was working. Approaching her might have been a bit strange since I was working and she was with a tour group but probably should have had the balls to eyewink or something

Sounds like a shit relationship m8, you should consider looking for somebody more compatible, not just someone who'll you're willing to put up with.
I'm talking as someone in an 8 year relationship that hasn't encountered any of those problems.

I can't talk to the Russians cause I don't speak Russian and they don't speak English

The only place where I've a had a natural flowing conversation like that was at the gym

What is the worst thing you imagine happening if you go up to a girl you think is cute and saying hi?

having a gf and seeing as the relationship gets colder and colder and she drifts apart, knowing there's nothing you can do to stop it its worse than nogf

once I break up with my gf I'll probably never have a ltr ever again

>cared about nogf
>Turning 23 and 2016 happened, made friends with a decent amount of women
>nogf depression went away along with even wanting a gf
Eh.

I have tried to show interest in the shallow things women like, whilist talking to them but that still leaves the being teasing and playful thing open.

I fail to get them excited and on the tips of their toes and I think it's exactly at this point that you can make the connection if you want to fug them

Honestly? My mates or people I know laughing at me for being an awkward faggot

Show initial signs of interest, but always seem like there's somebody more interesting that you're willing to go talk to instead.
Girls for some reason like to chase men, and when a man gives off a sense of "this girl is fine, but those girls over there are also fine", girls tend to want to chase after you and win over YOUR affection from the other girls you have your eyes on.
It's worked for me so far. Girls talk to me and I act like I'm interested, which I am, but the entire time I purposely give off a sense of "you're not entirely worth my time, but I'll give you 5 minutes"
Sounds like a cunt move but most people love the chase I guess.
Just be careful not to push people away. You have to find a balance between not being interested, and being interested enough to keep the person's attention.

You might want to try setting some standards with your friends if they are preventing you from finding happiness. Would they accept that same standard being applied to them that failing out with a girl is a good reason for them to be ridiculed?

you know how often it happens to any regular man? most of us know that it happens, everyone will laugh for the lulz but it's not like you lost your face or anything
even being mildly autistic wont be all that bad, at least you will look original
in the end it's this: either you can act to be what you are not for all your life to have a girl, or bee yourself and see if fate decides to put a girl who likes that on your way
