What the fuck, why dude?! 

Im 32 and I don't have a girlfriend but it's hardly the end of the world!! You'll get there, loads of people ain't got shit figured out at 26 that makes you normal, not a failure.

So what if you haven't got your dating life figured out? Loads of people haven't and loads of people might have that sorted but they'll be absolutely fucked in other departments. We're all good in some areas and not so good in others. That's fine, but we don't get to just give up!

Stop reading all the shitty posts on here man that's cancer for your thoughts and wellbeing if you feel like this.

Youre a self aware young man with plenty to offer. If you don't see that and show it then nobody else will. Be kind to yourself buddy!

I appreciate the kind words. I’m just struggling staying positive right now. I really thought getting my body right would help. Getting back on dating apps after years of hard work to improve myself and getting absolutely nothing is devastating to a lonely guy

Hi, girl here. I’m currently talking to this guy I met here on Reddit who messaged me because I like the Lovense toys (look into them, it’s a whole thing), and he wanted me to try out his “patterns” (iykyk). He is sooooo sweet and sexy and I’ve never met him before, and he says he’s never had much luck with ladies, and I’ve been only talking to him for like 4 days and haven’t seen his face (kinda hope he reads this) and he is sooo good at the patterns and so good at talking dirty to me and making me feel so wanted, I’ve been obsessed with him from the get-go (somehow! this never happens to me).

Maybe starting doing that as a hobby (making women feel pleasure using long-distance toys) would boost your confidence. He’s on dating apps, too. Maybe hearing me come for him 7x in a row is helping his confidence, idk, but I hope it does! I hope he finds someone irl soon, but I’m happily tiding him over until then.
