Hey dudes
I was hanging a friend (girl) the other day she decided to call her buddy with facetime. This girl started flirting with me big time and this isn't me assuming she was because of some subtle comment or an eye wink, she literally got a fan and started fanning herself saying how i'm so hot. I loved the attention, as anyone would in that situation (who doesn't like being told that?). This went on for a good 1/2 hour and I didn't think much of it at first but I thought she was quite funny with the way she presented herself and I started to like her. I had to leave so we stopped the facetime convo and then she messaged her friend (the girl who I was hanging with) saying YOU CAN ASK MY NUMBER YOU KNOW! I wasn't really sure if I should have or not because it was a little unusual for me to get that kind of attention so I just said to my friend "give her my number, she's cool", and she just said ok and I said goodbyes then left.
Today I messaged my friend and asked if she wanted to meet up for a sushi and then also asked her friend's number. She agreed to the sushi and said "Lol she has a bf, I'll ask her and see what she says". Then all of a sudden, I felt like a brick was thrown at my head? You know, that feeling where you feel as if you are inadequate as a guy and then you think of your history with girls and it just dawns on you how dissatisfying the girl success has been? Now, I am just sitting here with that pain of feeling that way.
This was a small acquaintance was some girl that I barely knew and she was cool but for some reason, even such a minor thing is affecting me so much? My feelings have been shut down for a long time and suddenly they have come to life again and I do genuinely want to feel like a man should with the opposite sex. What I mean by that is actively meeting girls to get to that point in my life where I have a fulfilling relationship and don't feel the need to cheat. Instead I find myself longing for some girl, no standards, lack of respect for women and happy to take whatever I can get. This is sad and I don't believe this the way of a man, many men don't ever get passed this stage.
The way society is nowadays, it's all about helping women with their issues and to make things better for women. Guys don't really get any of this, guys are all expected to be tough and to be able to handle anything so expressing feelings as a guy is misperceived as weakness in a guy or inadequacy. This is not to say that I have resent towards women for this reason, but moreso that guys don't really get any sympathy for anything going wrong on their behalf and A LOT of things have gone wrong for me in my life time. Part of my screwups were because of bad decisions but most were just simple lack of motivation. So why the lack of motivation? Well it is pretty difficult to be motivated for anything in life when you do not feel like a man and you believe that it will never change. This is all down to my lack of success with women.
So to put this in perspective I'll give a little background but I'll try keep it brief:
I am now aged 32, living in UK - London. Iranian background and skin/hair/face/etc. I have no choice but to live with parents because I haven't got a good job or a place
For those of you not interested in this history, you can just skip it
- 1st gf at age 18 who was 17, white english girl -> We didn't do anything (no sex or kiss), she ended banging another guy, lasted a total of about 3-4 months
- 2nd gf was in Canada, we met online from some game, we were both aged 20 -> I went to meet her and we did everything, broke up because we just didn't get along + the stupid distance, lasted 10 months
- 3rd girl was a kind of fling, university friend who was an american chick, I was 21 she was 24 -> Good sex but that's all it was, she just suddenly cut contact after 1 month
- 4th girl was a gf who was 18 when I was 22 of oriental origin who I also met from the same game as girl 2, long distance again... - Distance just killed it and we never met, lasted 9 months
- 5th girl was very very hot, met through a friend, I was 24 and she was 23 -> Knew her for 2 months before I asked her out but the relationship lasted a week, too demanding... (no sex or kiss)
- 6th girl was a fling with a Polish mum of 2, met at university, who was supposed to break up with her husband but didn't, I was 26 and she was 35 -> I just thought it too harsh of me to interfere with a family like that so I broke it off after 3 months (no sex)
- 7th girl was a very confident girl but airhead, met on a night out, I was 26 and she was 26 -> Lasted about 3 months (no sex), I think I just got too clingy with her so she lost interest
- 8th girl was 28 when I was 27, from work - Kissed once but girl wanted to settle down an I wasn't ready for that so after 3 months it ended (no sex)
- 9th girl was probably my first proper relationship that I had (lol), I was 27 and she was 23, met on a holiday, friend of friend - Last about 18 months, we did everything but it just didn't work out in the end because of too many differences
- 10th girl had a 1-night stand with a girl from a night club aged 22 when i was 28 (I dislike clubs very much so this was a surprise)
- 11th girl was an old friend of mine and we just screwed once or twice but wasn't really a proper relation, ended after 1 month, she was 26 and i was 28
- 12th girl was 19 while i was 28, met online again... -> Too clingy, too demanding, ended after 2 months
- 13th girl was a friend who was with someone else and supposedly loved me for a long time, saying that she would break with him and be with me but could not decide in the end so we had a month of fucking and then stopped talking, I was 30
The last was 2 years ago, I have asked about 15 girls for numbers since then with no luck, either it screws up via text or they just don't show up to our meet spot and don't answer the phone then come up with some excuse later. Now, that history of girls initially looks like I've had a lot of girls but if you look at the detail, most of them were pretty insignificant towards anything. They were mostly a waste of time except for number 2 and 9, maybe number 8 too. I have had a terrible history with girls, mostly being a waste of time, or maybe I just didn't move fast enough in some cases but here I am right now, thinking that this will never change and I won't get anyone worthwhile.
I have been working on many areas of my life including:
- Addressing my career and going back to university after a dropout
- Going to therapy to address many social aspects of my life
- Fighting off addictions and getting them out of my life
- Taking care of my diet and gymming regularly
- Reducing any masturbation to eventually be 0
None of this matters if I can't meet girls though...
So where do I start?
