/htgwg/ - How to Get Women General #316
>What is /htgwg/?
How to Get Women General is by men, for men, about women, so bring all of your questions about getting and dealing with women here. Some anons on this site actually get laid, and some of them even want to help. If you're trying to meet and date women, then this is the place to ask questions, seek advice, and share experiences. We know how hard it can be. We got you bro.

>What is /htgwg/ not?
These threads are NOT for whining, moping, incels, volcels, MGTOW, hopelessness, or demoralization. We're all aware that meeting and dating women is hard today, and even harder for some, but /htgwg/ is for trying to overcome the challenges. IGNORE the posters who complain, give up, or insist there's nothing they can do. This site has other boards and threads that they can pollute. BE SMART: Spot the bait, don't reply, and DON'T WASTE TIME ARGUING WITH THEM!

>How to ask for advice
Context is important: be more specific than "This girl ghosted me, why?" We can't help if we don't know the situation, so try to provide as much (useful) info as possible ("I was at the bar, this chick was checking me out..."). What's your relationship with the girl? How long have you known her? Any conversation screenshots? Etc... Don't forget to ask an actual question.

Zoomer emos are all posers. They are emo/scene because they have BPD and are adopting a consumable aesthetic because it is the way they cope with how BPD strips them of having an actual personality. You don't want to date women like that. Most of them aren't actually even into emo music and just listen to $uicideboy$ or Sleep Token or that one Deftones song that got popular on TikTok

If you’re trying to find the “real deal” emo, goth, or scene girls then I suggest finding local emo/goth/indie/hardcore shows and going to those. They’re cheap, you can maybe make some friends, and even find a girl there if you’re not a creep.

Ever since the scamdemic I've stopped telling the truth and started lying to everybody. It became clear that people don't want to hear the truth or anything negative for that matter. They only want to hear positive shit and things that reinforce their beliefs. So now I'm constantly lying to these idiots.
Just today I went to the gym and this twink zoomer I barely know started making small talk. Anyway he was doing most of the talking when he mentioned he has a crush on one of the gym thots and that she is way out of his league so he is afraid to approach her because he is kinda ugly and all that. Anyway I straight up told him he is good looking and he should definitely make a move on her and that his chances are pretty good, even though he is an ugly twink manlet and basically has no chance. The way he looked at me with those puppy eyes when I told him he is good looking kek. Towards the end of the conversation I was thinking about coming clean and telling him that I was joking earlier and that he is physically deformed and ugly, has no chance and will probably die a virgin like so many incels nowadays. Could have probably driven him to suicide easily but I just kept my mouth shut and he eventually went away, which I was glad.
I just pray he approaches the girl when I'm there so I can laugh at him as he inevitably gets rejected and btfo.

I have no idea how to talk to women. A lot of the time I'll ask for advice here and it boils down to "just do it, it's no big deal if you fail" or here's a way to be more attractive, do that and then do it." but I had a super controlling mom and a pussy dad who would lecture me and/or cry whenever I wasn't mama's little boy, or when I wanted to pick out my own clothes in high school, and would either laugh at me or just act weirded out whenever I had any questions about sex, or even saw people kissing on tv (oooooOOOOOOooo anon has a girlfriend!) They sleep in separate bedrooms and he's a complete doormat who blames me when she's on the warpath because of something I said or implied that gave her no choice but to scream at me, and treats me like an asshole when I do anything but take it.

When it comes time to just talk to women, I just can't think of what to say. I knew what I grew up with is utter insanity, and I finally cut them out of my life (it was more difficult than it sounds, psychological stuff aside lawyers were involved) but I'm in my 40s and I have no idea how to recover. I've tried going to therapy, but they're full of feminist bullshit and don't actually care about men being emasculated, at least around here.

How do I fix myself? I've gotten laid a few times but it's from women in chatrooms with slutty names.

That's a good thought. It seems like every shrink around here does cognitive behavioral therapy, which is just gaslighting you pay for in my opinion. Maybe they have "I do X, Y, and cbt!". I remember looking at a list and just getting pissed off. They all sound like my dad too, all passive aggressive guiding questions and putting words in your mouth. And CBT people don't take no for an answer. It's like "So why don't you like CBT? Mmmmhmm. mmmhmm. So you're saying maybe you should try again and see if you click? Did you know that CBT is evidence based? You see this as an argument, why is that?" You just can't say no.

Still, that's a direction I should start looking for again. Maybe I could find someone online, I've tried searching for things like I hate CBT to no avail, but maybe I could try keywords like anti-feminist or conservative.

Thanks for the ideas!

cbt can absolutely be helpful, but it depends on what it's used for. It's a useful tool to adjust your reactions, but much like various types of meditations, it can often be used too far to get you too comfortable with your shit situation. So yeah, if you've had too many failures with previous CBT shrinks, it most likely makes sense to try other stuff first.

Feminism is just marxism applied to genders, and being anti feminism has nothing to do with people anti woman, anymore than being against blm makes you anti black.

Men have declared spiritual jihad on women and it shows as they slowly begin to lose it. This is it anons, the real gender war has begun, not the fake one with countless pronouns that is being shilled everywhere in the media, but the real gender war between man and woman.
Women are about to learn a harsh lesson.

Don't talk to women, don't help them, don't ask them out, don't have dating apps, don't interact with them. If a woman approaches you be nice and respectful but do not flirt or overtly joke, treat them as an equal man and then leave after the reason for the conversation is over. If a girl comes up to you and flirts kindly turn her down, if she asks you out suddenly say no thank you, don't make up a reason she only has agency because of some external reason not because she likes you. Be vague when talking about your life or weekend plans, anything you do or do with them like hooking up will be picked apart and analyzed by her and her online friends. You are a traitor and not helping anyone if you fall for their tricks.
If men can't display a modicum of power over society, this world and women, then I guess they don't hold much power at all.

However, I feel even worse when not abusing porn because then my mind gets clouded by sexual things. Dumb stuff like imagining random women naked. What is the fine balance?

How do you know if you are actually a porn addict? Sometimes I think I am addicted but outside looking in, I don't know if thats true. I can regularly stop looking at porn for 1-2 months(usually not 3 months). I brought my masturbation down to 1-2 times a week at one point. I can still masturbate without porn and I still can get strong erections without porn. So what constitutes as being addicted to porn? To me, I think I was making it out to be "If you watch porn at all, then you are addicted." But is that true in your opinion? If I could watch porn 1-2 times a week, I think I'd be fine. But then I replaced the word "porn" with "fentanyl" and then it sounds insane. "If I could just do fent 1-2 times a week, I'd be fine." Is that even a good comparison?

nta, but I think comparing to any physical drug is a bit dicey, especially something as intense as fentanyl.

The line is pretty blurry for when it goes from being a habit to an addiction, so a firm number won't work for everyone. I think it's better think about when it becomes problematic in your life. If it is your only source of emotional regulation (relieving stress or wanting to escape what you see as the dullness of your life) or you end up gooning for hours a day, neglecting responsibilities or not pursuing otherwise enriching activities, then I would say it's problematic (speaking from personal experience currently).

The question of addiction becomes more relevant when you consider how looking at porn affects your enjoyment of other things in your life, like if it's the only thing that really makes you feel good, it's probably safe to label it an addiction.

I see what you mean. I think for me its tricky because I am in my early 30's. Masturbation and porn has been the only thing I ever known in regard to sex. I have never had sex and my first exposure to sex was via porn. Do you think its possible to ever use porn in a healthy capacity? or rather in a capacity that isn't harmful to me? My perceived struggle with porn has basically made me feel really ugly about sexuality in general and I only see it in a negative light. To me, there is nothing good about sex or porn or masturbating but that isn't how regular people see it which means how I see it is probably wrong. I would love to have a good outlook on sex but not sure how I can get to that point.

This but unironically. I won't approach women or use dating apps, since every women I have dated, met, or talked to online was crazy, controlling, or uninterested in a relationship. Typically, they just wanted attention. Sure, I fell for the bait, or they tricked me long enough into thinking they could be someone special, but it always ended poorly. I'd bend over backwards and do almost anything for them, within reason, which led to being taken advantage of - to which I said, no more. I'm perfectly fine with being single now or for life. If a woman is truly attracted to me, then she can make it known without playing games. That's the kind of woman I want anyway.

>Do you think its possible to ever use porn in a healthy capacity? or rather in a capacity that isn't harmful to me?

Of course, it make take some work though. I lost my virginity in my early 30's with an escort and I've only had sex with escorts since. Before and in the time between it's strictly porn for me too, so I can relate.

You use "ugly" to describe your current view of sexuality and say "there is nothing good about sex or porn or masturbating," which to me sounds like there's shame behind it. Just with this mindset, I think it would be very difficult to have a healthy relationship with porn or masturbation or even sex for that matter. I'd really recommend taking some time to think deeply about where these negative associations regarding sexuality come from; did you get caught masturbating as a child and your parent(s) punished or shamed you? Where you bullied or teased when people found out you had a crush on a popular girl? Or maybe you just come from a very conservative culture which shuns open expression of sex and desire.

I'm assuming this was you:
>I feel even worse when not abusing porn because then my mind gets clouded by sexual things. Dumb stuff like imagining random women naked.
You sound guilty for having sexual thoughts about women when you haven't been masturbating to keep that "beast" at bay, so to speak. In that case, if jerking off and watching porn 1 or 2 times a week helps you avoid that type of thinking, I would say it's a healthy thing to engage in. But, also keep the bigger picture in mind: do you want to be having sex? Do you want a relationship? Then if you find that looking at porn at all is keeping you from that, you're going to have to reorient to figure out how you can get your needs fulfilled while also pursuing the "real" thing.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

the first is growing up. Seriously. It's accepting that whatever situation you find yourself in right now is within your control and capability to change YOURSELF. There is no one to blame but yourself. Your parents did their best and probably have their own preconceived notions about those topics anyway. Now that you are an adult, you have no excuse- no one else to blame.
>When it comes time to just talk to women, I just can't think of what to say
even niggers know how to talk to all sort of women. Put yourself in their frame to learn- they drop all social mannerism, tradition, social cues, norms and accepted societal truths to talk to women. They just go for what they want, they do not care about the immediate results or consequences (I don't believe they ever do anyway). That is what attracts women first; before the talking, before the physical attraction, before anything- its the confidence to even go up to say something to a woman because you found them attractive or to your interest. If you can't muster this, you have already failed at the very basic level.
>How do I fix myself?
stop blaming others first- you are you own human being now. Responsible for your own actions and thoughts. That also means being able to learn new things and from old mistakes. If younger women than you of today prefer men now who look after their physical stature- you must be open to doing the same to compete with other men. If they prefer men today who have a certain kind of lifestyle, do self-reflection of what yours is now- and make moves to be more appealing.

when I was younger, I had anxiety about talking to women in general because my dad never taught me how. So I started challenging myself to talk and meet with stranger women in public settings. Literally just approaching them and attempting conversation. I failed many times, but there were also successful interactions. Eventually got over the anxiety from repeated practice and experience.
>hitting up beautiful women?
This is like a level-up from before. Once you got the hang of talking to below-average looking women and then average-looking, came the time to talk to the most desirable women. In certain settings like public spaces meant for socializing, it is more difficult; you face competition from other like-minded men who also want to talk to beautiful women. So the challenge comes with understanding specific socializing skills. Not only do you need to learn how to talk to beautiful women, you also have to learn how to defend yourself from other competitors who want to do the same. Its a high-skill type of deal. In other settings however, I would say it is not the case. In university for example- the setting is more relaxed and the competition is less fierce talking to pretty girls as other men aren't all trying to get her. Friend group social-outings also works for this as it is a small-enough group where competition wouldn't pose much challenge. Eventually, you will learn how to deal with beautiful women. Things like dealing with those with extremely high egos due to their beauty. Other aspects like being aware of your own person- able to remain intact even if a beautiful girl is rude to you or teasing you. Maybe being able to turn your attraction to them off: so that you could better filter and screen their personality instead. It's a whole game that needs constant skill checks and tests. You never really stop learning how in life as its a constant challenge. Beautiful girls are into pop-culture so you need to move the same.

Let me tell you all again, DO NOT DATE HIPSTERS.

Hipsters you will never win a conversation with unless you are extremely neurotypical. Go instead for the very thing you thought against, a party girl, as working towards that will lead more results than a hipster.

Hipsters on the other hand are a walking deathmine communication wise, not worth it. What will be up will be down eith them.

They are now mere entertainment for women. If you bothered to check social media, you'd find countless posting about people talking about how useless "dating apps" are today. Most are locked behind ridiculous paywalls and the more insidious ones only work when the algorithm finds you appealing- and that's even after the paywall. You quite literally would have better chances hanging out at your local shopping area in your city- talking to and approaching as many stranger women as you possibly can.

you're suffering from perfectionism as criticism-avoidance. you want to believe you can do something "perfectly" to avoid rejection or awkwardness. that's why you need the right thing to say and why you freeze up. there's nothing wrong with you, it's a perfectly normal reaction to a controlling mom. but you do have to train yourself out of it if you want results, and you do have to be open to people who are telling you that yes, you do have to make each interaction feel like less of a devastating critique from mom

i recommend a book called psycho-cybernetics. it contains all sorts of tips for practicing things just like this, and doing so in a low-pressure way so you don't feel so judgmental about yourself.

one technique in particular: being like a baseball player whose only focus isn't to hit a home run, but to just make the bat contact the ball. lower your standards for what is "good" to say by making a new criteria for success: whether or not you said anything at all. eventually, that feeling of "winning" will build and if you successfully rewire yourself into believing "talking = success," you'll notice the best things to say slide out of you automatically. there never was a thing to say. there was just a way to be. best of luck anon

I think there’s a lot of socials factors that contribute to that. I don’t know what a woman having a career has to do with being Jewish people. You sound like one of those psychos who believes The Protocols of The Elders of Zion. Anyways, femicide rates are sky rocketing worldwide and women have a much higher rate of being killed by a (ex)partner or spouse. I think that contributes to the sentiment that there’s not good men today. As well as the rise in inceldom and alt-right ideology which is not particularly respectful to women and tends to make sweeping statements about them as a whole. However, that’s not really new. Some men have been doing that since recorded history. There’s still plenty of good men out there though.

This is more than I could ask for, thank you severely for this.


>Maybe being able to turn your attraction to them off: so that you could better filter and screen their personality instead

I do understand what you mean by turning your attraction to them off as personality is what's the most important to me. I do not care for random women who just so happen to look beautiful because without personality they are just a hollow husk. However I do want to have courage to talk to someone I genuinely like, it just takes some time of me having my "stalking" phase at gym or elsewhere aka just getting comfortable and confident enough to finally get to talk to her.
I still remember having a high school crush, taking about few weeks of courage and then finally befriending her only to find out she's straight up a boring person and not interested.
It's a very important lesson to learn that there isn't JUST ONE woman in the world, there are literally numerous but at first we don't really know that.

My problem is just that I don't really know how to properly approach. I need to use the environment to ask out to not give it away that I really just like them.
Does cold approaching even work? The classic "Hey I think you're beautiful and I'd like to get to know you" - doesn't it just give them the creeps since they don't know you at all?
I feel like it's just less romantic and better if you help someone out once their groceries fall, having some sort of proper opener.

in your perspective, its men who are weak, frail, emasculated and willing to put up with your bullshit like paying all your bills while you put him aside to bang Tyrone in his own home. Sad really.

Went into this weekend 100% focused on wife with affection, intimacy, etc. Wife barely initiated touch or affection while we were out. Basically I did all the initial flirting, affection, and touching. Eventually I emotionally checked out and started checking out other girls due to no reciprocation. 2hrs in we run into her coworker who is very attractive 23yr old. The girl just straight up stared into my eyes the entire time and glowed like the sun. Is this what I need to do going forward to gain more respect from my wife? Nothing else has worked this well.

I also kind of want this girl now too the interest felt so good. It's also crazy how you can only focus on your girl for so long and receive nothing back or initiated. Like I couldn't even help but check out other women once the loss of interest was felt.

I am completely smitten with her and it’s really done a number on me, maybe just because I’m getting older now but I went from not really having much of an interest in women besides to fulfill sexual urges to being like “holy crap I want a woman like this in my life and I want to spend lots of time with her and THIS is my type”
but it’s just really hard and I see so much potential drama with us being coworkers that I think it would be better to try and meet a similar woman

34yo did speed dating for the first time.

despite the 34-45 age range a few of the women were good looking. did not match this time but overall it's an ok experience, not degrading like the apps. and the reported "yes" rate for women was about 30%.

at the end of the day it's probably still 90% appearance that matters though cause all my talks were smooth enough but im probably a 5.

something to try if you want a change of pace.

I think the number one way to cure incelism is to teach guys afflicted with it some proper social skills. Whenever I see or read about guys struggling to get women it seems to go hand in hand with not being able to make friends and being socially isolated and struggling to make conversation with people. Sure getting fit and looksmaxxing helps but the world is full of athletic guys spending lonely weekend after lonely weekend.

Questions to dudes who have sex often. Can you get temporary ED from too frequent sex?

I went on vacation to a place where prostitution is legal.I fucked escorts 5 days in a row, each time lasting about 40-50 minutes of nonstop jackhammering. No issues, fully hard. Prior to this I haven't had sex in 5 years.

Then, a day later, I got a girl from tinder, and I couldn't get hard. The dick would grow in size, but it wouldn't be fully hard. We took a 2h powernap, and I kinda managed to fuck her after that, but it still wasn't fully hard.

Private tutors are great for skills or knowledge that you can't learn or teach easily, such as advanced math, music, and singing.
Moreover, female private tutors are a great way to usher boys' healthy psychosexual development. At 13 I fucked my piano teacher for a whole year, and at 14 I did the same with my singing teacher. This did great wonders for my self-esteem and mental health.

those are women's hints that they want you to approach them or are open to being talked to.
>Had one chance to say something but completely chickened out
there is such a thing as a "Three Second Rule" where once the woman gives you the hints that she wants to be approached, you only have that time to decide if you want to do it. If you pass that time, you have lost your chance.
>Now I just sit there like an NPC every time
you might have lost your chance. But if she does it again, don't waste it and go say something. Just say something that would make her emotional- like laughing.
>every time I take this train, there is this smiling gremlin looking at me. Maybe she is trying to sell me something? What's your name?

Kind of a weird problem. I've only ever been able to attract online women (yes actual women) that want to meet me and have me like rape and use them for a week. Like they want me to just be ultra degenerate.

I don't want to be used for sex. I don't know how to either make these women into wives or attract wife material irl. I'm a virgin, I've never actually followed through with these things, I just tell them I won't have sex with them until marriage and they lose interest.

Doesn't work like that. Yeah I'm single now but I'm a 33 year old man and it shows. I have my hair and I'm over 6' but chicks have a sixth sense and can tell I'm this no-fun grumpy business guy now instead of the fun carefree guy with tons of potential I used to be. Just how it is.

Western women now have their own money, they don't need an older man. They want a chad their age they can spend time with. A tiny minority still goes for older men because they really love fucking money or have mental health issues. That's the norm. Exceptions exist but they're exceptions for a reason.

I'm getting my skill back and it feels great. Each approach I do, I'm getting a little further each time and each approach is getting a little easier. I'm at that phase where I'm finding it pretty easy to get numbers during the day and occasionally getting the make out at night. I've got 1 fuck under my belt since my breakup a few months ago, 1 fuck I blew, and a few make outs, one with an unquestionable 10 although the rest were all attractive as well. The 10 was girlfriend material I think, but logistics blew that one. People are trying to hook me up with girls they know again as well which is nice.

What I'm noticing though just getting back into all of this is a difference in the social landscape that's jarring to me. Women so far have been way more forgiving and easier than they were a few years ago. There is a feeling that they want you to press the right buttons and are genuinely disappointed if you don't have game.

In the course of looking for new wings, men on the other hand seem to be having a lot of trouble. I don't know if that's dating apps, social media, or what, but there's a shitload of negativity coming from dudes that once upon a time would have been like "teach me" or "alright, let's work together." I made great friends that way, but now I'm not just solo, I feel like I'm almost better off solo - unless any of my old wings suddenly become single again - and that was never the case.

It's weird out there.

It was a missed opportunity. The way that you speak to them on the street is you become more sociable. By that I mean you need to impulsively recognize shit to talk about. There are countless pathways you can go down from something like what you described...
"Look at you rockin the beret. You have to be an artist right?" If she delays like she's trying to answer the question in a way to impress you then you can soften it for her and go "it's okay, coloring books count."

"Hey you seem pretty worldly, my buddies and I are trying to try out a new bar around here, do you have any suggestions?" blah blah blah blah blah. "by the way I'm digging the African warlord look you're going for there." Delivery obviously counts, but you have to get good at bullshitting because it all starts with bullshit. It's also a bit like standup comedy in that you have to find your "voice" and you only find it by practicing and getting comfortable bombing.

You could have just been like "I'm autistic or else I'd love to talk to you." It probably wouldn't work, but it would have been better than forming a habit of feeding the impulse not to talk to women when they smile at you.

The worst sex ever is with the so called “baddie” cause she used to dudes worshiping her this she doesnt even know how to have sex but more so just lay there.

And if you never dated “bad” chicks then you are unaware of the headache they are plus how insecure they are. They only good for hitting and quitting.

This why my philoshpy is keep ot simple, when you have to over think shyt you already down bad.

I feel if dudes figure out how to get around chicks who share common interest (lets be real most dudes DONT have hobbies this is why even finding a place for dates is a struggle for them), that conquers 70% of the issue.

If you are among people with common interest it makes convo much easier thus you can gauge vibes and not come off as a 2002 PUA tryna remember what you read in a book lol

I'm gonna cross post this here where it fits a little better. Would women find it off putting if a guy has no close friends and mainly hangs out with family? I've slowly drifted away from my friends and am struggling to build new connections so as a result I'm a homebody. Also don't do a lot of the activities/sports I used to but still exercise regularly. Other than this and my lack of experience with women I wouldn't consider myself a loser, I regularly leave the house, go on cool vacations, have a decent job, etc. My family are all loners too so I feel it kind of rubbed off on me. Also I don't know where to meet girls, I see them out all the time at restaurants, grocery store, gym, etc. What should I do? I'm retarded and could use some examples.

There's this girl who works at this pastry shop in my city, I like her and want to ask her out but I'm not sure how to go about it. Would it be best to try and build rapport by becoming a regular and striking up small conversations when I buy stuff, or should I just be upfront and ask her out next time I go there.
I also realise the inherent awkwardness of asking out a girl who's is working a job but 1) she is so beautiful I am willing to risk embarrassing myself and, as much as I ashamed to say, inconveniencing her, as I otherwise would regret it for the rest of my life if I didn't at least try 2) she works there alone and the shop doesn't get many customers but it's not like we're alone either as it's in a wide open market so it wouldn't be like I'm cornering her or whatever but it would still be not nearly as bad as if I asked her while waiting in line with her coworkers nearby.
I have met her once before when she was working at a Cafe I visited once. When she served me I was struck by her beauty and the quality of her service and I did notice she kept looking at me (Yes, I realise that might not mean anything). This is also part of the reason I want to ask her out now as I now I might not ever see her again and don't want to miss my chance.
Also I groom myself, wash regularly, dress nicely, and I would like to think I am at least a 7. My social skills aren't super great or anything but I can hold a friendly conversation and I'm not a completely antisocial autistic weirdo and I do get social cues. If she said no I would be perfectly fine with that.
I know I sound like a creep but I would greatly appreciate any help.

Lol are you me? If so, I would personally be inclined to build a bit of rapport over 2-3 visits and then escallate the next time im there. Like first you briefly exchange names and what you do for a living, next time you ask her if she does things other than work at the bakery, third or fourth time you ask for her number or socials. Progressively make it more and more obvious that youre interested over the first visits so she wont be too caught off guard, hopefully making her more receptive. Once you clear that bar then you can ask her out outright

There are a lot of ways to be attractive to women. If you're really family oriented you can spin that in a way that is palatable (and keep in mind the cooler your family is the less you need to spin it), especially if for example you really do in fact have a decent job, go on cool vacations, and are at least an average looking guy. Don't let it get in your head too much.

I have a social circle that is now scattered hours away in different directions, but for example my cousin and I can also hit up places and absolutely destroy and the fact we're cousins only makes women more interested for some reason. I would guess because we're both decently attractive guys, both successful, etc. so women see at least on a subconscious level "oh 2/2 on the genetics."

So again, don't let the "family as your social circle" issue get in your head or make you insecure. What you need to do is start building a life a woman would want to be a part of. That's your bait. Get out and do some shit. Go to an art museum, go to a show, go on a hike, whatever fits the identity you want to convey. Do shit even if it's alone. It's going to be hard at first, but get in the habit of doing shit and exploring life.

As for meeting women, "doing shit" can help with this, but if you can't approach and you can't be social with a stranger, you're going to fall into that zone where you may be surrounded by beautiful women, but too afraid to say a word to them and then you beat yourself up mentally or rationalize your inaction. Eventually you have to get out of your head and approach or wait for a girl to fall in your lap, or use dating apps.

Personally, I approach. You fail with 50 for the sake of the 500 successes you'll have down the line. You build an identity so that you aren't just saying dumb affirmations in your head or using self-help shit, you are in fact living an undeniably "cool" life and it should give you the confidence to talk with women and laugh off rejection.

Biggest issue I see is that you've already pedestalized this girl. So let me try to set that straight first, it will help...This girl hasn't earned your interest yet. She's attractive. A lot of girls are. She might have had a gangbang a month ago. She might shit her pants frequently. Bottom line is she hasn't earned this caution you have towards her. She's beautiful. Big deal. She's still just a regular human being.

>My social skills aren't super great or anything but I can hold a friendly conversation and I'm not a completely antisocial autistic weirdo and I do get social cues.
That should be good enough to build rapport over a few visits, but you have to keep her off a pedestal or you're going to overthink this shit and you'll psych yourself out. Every time you walk in it will be like "okay this is visit number 2, I have to have enough rapport by visit number 5!" or something like that. You don't want to fall into that trap. Go, chat her up, have fun, feel it out. You should also find at least one other girl and be chatting her up as a side project while you work on this one.

The reality is that few girls are going to look at you and be like "wow, it's really cool that you have no social life." Dating is an inherently social activity and women in general are social. Social skill leads to social life. Social SKILL...that is to say something that can be practiced and developed. So I would encourage you to do that.

1. Get out and do shit that builds an identity you can be confident and comfortable with. You really have to learn to be comfortable in your skin and in your life. You should get to a point where your steps feel light. Like you're walking on clouds. Where you aren't in your own head all the time. You're just living.
2. Actually socialize with people. Getting out is great. There's beautiful women all over. Most of them masturbate at least once a week. Most of them like to get fucked. Most of them are looking for a guy that excites them and it can be some jester-maxing douche bag that will steal money out of their wallet or it can be you, someone better.

The main thing though is that being surrounded by women you don't talk to is like having a million dollars in your bank account that you can't invest or spend. You need to get out and do shit and socialize. If it helps, read a bunch of books on body language, rapport building, etc., but you'll still eventually have to put it into action. It's your life though, customize it, take charge of it. If you're living righteously enough, you will find other people doing the same. You'll also find a lot of shit heads. It's part of the game and it's why you can't take it too seriously or personally. It's just onto the next. Keep getting better.

All of that being said, that's just my philosophy. You could always lie and some would even encourage you to do that and say make it as elaborate and goofy as you can. "Well, I used to be a lot more social, but I was shunned from the Amish community I was a part of [elaborate lie]." You could also just say fuck it and try to boost every trait besides a social life. The Batman Approach as we call it. In practice though, that's probably harder than just sucking it up and making friends.

You start by saying hi and ejecting, then let yourself think about whether there was anything you could have said after that. Even trying to think about stuff you could have said will exercise that part of your brain to be more alert in the moment. "Hi" is also really easy to eject from.

You just say hi or hey or whatever and keep going. If you can't do that, you aren't even crawling yet. You aren't even out of the womb yet. But that's useful information. You need to objectively figure out what's wrong that you can't say one syllable to a pretty girl you see.

If you don't have any trouble saying hi, after enough times you should find yourself not even bothering with hi and just making an observation or comment about her or the shared situation or context. You'll actually get restless from saying "hi" and nothing else. Eventually, you just won't give a shit and to break your boredom, you'll follow up and that's where the real fun begins.

If you need to, make yourself look good, then drive an hour away. If you need to, only do it to fat girls at first or old ladies. If you're decently attractive, you might even harvest some confidence out of this if you walk past a pretty girl and say "hey" and she says it back in that "aren't you going to say anything else?" sort of way.

The difference between you and a guy that knows what he's doing is first, he will be able to say "hey" to any girl he wants without having a panic attack AND THEN second, follow it up and just start talking and being interesting. And he can typically do that because he doesn't give as much of a shit as you do and because he actively makes his life interesting.

I'm saying all of this under the assumption your grooming is in order and you don't look like a sideshow freak. If everything is in order in that area, there's nothing you mentioned stopping you from being great other than yourself.

I'm 30 and I feel for the "good at sex= whore" mentality. I'm seeing a 20 yo, and the sex is terrible. Just lays there, doesn't know how to do shit (only been with 2 other dudes, fucked each 1 time) and plus she has a vaginismus(shut pussy). The head was bad. Doesn't know how to stroke a cock. Plus she has zero tits. She's a good kisser. That's fucking it.
I've never dated girls over 22, and but they were all pretty bad at sex. I know because I've seen porn and I've gotten escorts.
I don't fully agree with you, because my ltr gf was hot, with big tits, despite star fishing. But I think if you are a "baddie" you can star fish, because your hot body is doing most of the lifting. What I don't get is fucking mid women just laying there, specially when the pussy is fucking trash. Fuck outa here...

>np we will do something another time.
>" so are we getting ice cream tonight?"
>no , I'm going to rest.

I don't want to hang out with her. I tried seeing her but I'm actually more unhappy then when I was "single". I do believe the biggest thing is the fact she's flat chested. I like everything else about her, but I just can't feel any attachment. Whenever I see a girl with big tits I'm reminded of what my type is, and how unhappy I am for trying to make it work with a flat chested girl. The only "long" relationship I had (1year) was with a big tittied girl. I guess you can't fake this. Now I'm wondering how I can break it up with her, without hurting her, but since she has trauma with her sexuality and I don't want to make her think it's because of her trash shut pussy, which has apparently made guys leave her quick in the past. Maybe I should try having sex with her a few more times? believe it or not, I don't really care, because it's more of a chore than anything.
btw, I'm >>33655752.

Ok anons, how do I make second date move from nice friendly chat, and start to get some physical going? She's shy and sweet, don't expect sex on second date, but hand holding, a kiss at the end. That's my goal here.

She's into history, but not sure if she's done all the museums already. Could just do dinner again, but feel sitting across from each other might just end up as friendzoned as we haven't moved from that level.

Make the second date more intimate, cook for her and or do a movie night. Tie the kitchen apron for her, place your legs over her legs while watching the movie on your couch. If that's not possible, plan a romantic stroll, hold her hand while you walk, you're on a second date you don't need to ask consent to simply hold her hand. You already said you're not expecting sex so there's nothing to lose.

How to I reconcile the fact that I’m a boring quiet guy that loves to stay in and read of watch movies with the other fact that I need to put myself out to meet women

You don't. Lean into the shit anon, go to book clubs, writer's workshops if you write, film clubs, theaters to watch plays or small indie films. You have to repeatedly show your face and let people know that you're open to conversation and have a genuine interest and passion for what you're interested in. Find online spaces to talk about film and literature, there are women users on these site. Take a curious approach and don't engage in flame wars and e-peen measuring, if you're pleasant and fun, and informative, and inviting to talk to online, then those public messages turn into dms and then they turn into texts and then face to face conversations. Also you should simultaneously work on improving your looks (weight, clothes, hygiene, hair) and lowering your standards on looks, everyday women are already not that good looking and doubly so for women interested in books and movies and staying in to read and watch them. Instagram baddies are a very rare sight at book clubs.

My time, sons

Either you are a woman, or your father didnt raise you fully. You are giving advice for female-style affection

>>33656453
You are already out. Paralyzed by your fears, for weeks you pretend to be a friend. You are literally training her nervous system not to desire you sexually. You are not her therapist, you are not her friend, you are not her safe space. You are a busy man, conquering life, who happens to want her sexually. What stops you is your fear of rejection, of not being loved for going for what you want. Sit with this thought for a while, next time act like a man, not like a nice asexual friend

>>33656526
You are neither boring, nor quiet. You travel through books and movies to the depth of fascinating insights and wild adventures. You want that

If right now I would kidnap you to travel, to move, to explore, to live, you will have resistances and limitations. Then you will slowly bloom into it, having exciting adventures of your own in hour body, not behind the words on pages or images on the screen

Start making new choices of exploring the world around you, step by small step

Ots not too much if you are being a rake. Shining to matter what, enjoying spreading abundance. If you bring flowers as a bribe, you will suffer later

No, bad. Wrong direction

Date fully single, fully available women. Otherwise you will be heartbroken at best, and physically injured at worst

You can do beter. Overcome temptation,
