The bar is open, fellas. What is on your mind?

I wish I was little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good
I would call her

Nigger it's thursday

All my close friends and family live several timezones away and I've had to build my circle of local friends from scratch. Currently in that state where I'm super motivated but not really enough time to do it aside from maybe playing sports after work. Trying to at least say hello and make a couple new friends and remember their faces every day I go. But it's rough since you don't really make those kinds of connections overnight and even then I fear I'll always be that guy who'll invite himself to hang out with different friend groups, but never gets invited anywhere himself.

There's an weekly meetup that used to run like 5 mins from my house where a few guys would get together in a bar to play chess and get drunk doing it, sounds incredibly fun, but they cancelled it due to covid and I have no idea if it'll get restarted anytime soon.

The rest of the time I pour my extroversion into shitposting on Any Forums.

>What is on your mind?
my head is too big and not for inteligence

>26
>lifting for around a year, I love it and it's often the highlight of uneventful days
>great career, on my purpose
>best I've ever looked physically and face-wise
>love my work, friends, family, animals

>realise: "holy shit I'm becoming someone I've always wanted to be, maybe right now it might be interesting to let someone into my life after some 4 years"

>don't really leave home without a reason or have hobbies with social activities
>download tinder foolishly expecting to quickly find someone relatable
>get some matches that slowly dwindle over the past few weeks, account is dead in the water for some days now
>sometimes I'll open it and swipe around, look at women that don't take care of themselves, fat, with bad skin but taking photos on yachts around the world
>the few matches I get eventually ghost me
>feel the FOMO, perfect life now feels empty because I know I could be out there with someone I love on a yacht around the world
>feel really bad for striving to the maximum of my efforts and still not being the best out there

the worst part is I know I had my priorities right before, it's just hard to convince my brain again that this is something I might want right now but not what I should seek.

friends will still say I look great and compliment me, I still catch women looking at me IRL, but it just doesn't feel right when you super-like 10 different girls that seem very relatable to you and only one of them matches you back, and then ghosts you.

I'll probably just pay a hooker to tell me I'm beautiful, jerk me off to sleep and get back into my work

>the more cut I get the more I want a 30 BMI gf
>the stronger I get the more I want her to dominate me in bed

Well lads I fell for my roommate after having lived together for over a year and a half.
I talked to my brother about it and I also talked to her about it. I have been losing weight over the last few days because my hunger tanked, so has my ability to sleep.
She made it seem she wasn't interested because she hasn't been treated exactly fairly by men in the past and she has/had feelings for a female friend of hers who didn't reciprocate.
She went on a trip and is going to be back in a few days and we agreed to talk again about it.
If it doesn't go well I am going to ask her to move out. It sucks that she is exactly my type too. I hope I can at least convince her to give me a chance

the pool of girls who use tinder are a really really shit subset of the already terrible superset that is women

In my experience Tinder is the worst dating app. Bunch of hoes on there. If you are looking for someone to actually connect with try something else. I met my wife on POF and she is 100x better than anything I found on Tinder or OKC

>took a progress pic after 1 month
>looked a little bigger
>just took a progress pic after two months
>exactly the same

FUCK

Gf of 4.5 years dumped me last night. Sitting at work, completely numb and unable to process anything. I don’t want to lift any longer. I don’t want to live any longer

One thing that really stood out to me when I first considered it
>how many guys do you interact with face to face throughout the day? complete strangers are fine but you have to actually have a conversation for it to count
>how many girls do you interact with face to face throughout the day?
>repeat this exercise for the week/month and see if the number is higher or you're just seeing the same few faces every time
If you're like me, the numbers are probably really low, especially the second one. So now ask yourself what things you could do to change that? If women are looking at you irl what's the worst that will happen if you tell one of them your name? Tinder thots are ghosting you already so what's one more who will at least remember you specifically for the rest of the day? What do you do for your career/hobbies that you find so interesting, and how can you share that passion with others? Just because some activity is solitary doesn't mean it's impossible to do with others.

It's going to be alright bro. How old are you?

I was there last week bro. Try to eat some food and get as much sleep as you can. There's no escaping the pain but you can definitely make it through.

>had my first kiss recently
>30 years old btw
>she stopped and asked if i was stressed and actually said 'its ok i wont hurt you'
it was humiltiiating but at least i have kissed now bros

I’m turning 26 next month. I bought tickets to a concert and was going to surprise her for my birthday with a band she has been wanted to see live since we got together (she blew off their show to hang out with me on our first date). Im just holding them in my hand now and fighting so hard not to start bawling in front of coworkers. I have never felt this weak before user. No amount of plates prepared me for this emotional pain

That gives you four more years (and one month) until it's boomer time big guy. You have some friends and/or family to talk to?

Just gotta get it out of the way. My first kiss was a train wreck, practice makes perfect.

She was the only person in my life I have ever had an emotional connection with.In hindsight I wish I had made friends with others because Any Forums is the only place I can turn to to let out these feelings.

this is a nice and well thought off gestures, it will be fine bro. It takes courage but you already have it.
