Lmao I was able to get around this by saying I was earning revenue online through a YouTube channel. This got me in the door which eventually lead to a lucrative career, this was literally my first full time job at 27.

Don't be honest with hiring agents. Your mission is to sell yourself, not to treat them fairly.
Pretend to be a politician, with your mission being 'Spin anything into a good point about yourself'.
Work interviews are psychotic and you have to prepare so much for them.
I’ve never done this
I go in and just charm the frickers
I’ve never done a proper days work in my life at any job and they’ve never fired me for it
Everyone loves me and thinks I’m hilarious, even when I clearly do less than the bare minimum
Mind you I’m also Native American so if they fire me I get a racial discrimination suit
Hooray the luck of birth
How do you zoomers manage to do this when everyone is so fricking literally moronic out in the public today.
>zoomers

Bitter 30somethings aren't zoomers, they're millennials like you.
You just answered your own question.
In my experience, everyone likes to larp as a dumpsterfire failure but very few people actually are. Most people are doing relatively okay. They finished college and work some shitty 9-5 with the prospect of promotion in the distance. Even on the >No gf front, only a tiny percentage of people are actual khhv's. The rest just like to whine and complain.
im 27 and I went back to the job I worked from 16 to 22 this last year because I am terminally bad at applying for jobs. My problem stems from lack of motivation and probably something to do with drug abuse has distracted me over the years as a crutch.

congrats friend, I started working at 31 too
Unironically how do you lose your v card after your mid 20's? I need some serious white pills because I'm completely distraught over here.
yeah you gotta be attractive
that's it
my misanthropic zoomer friend who gets pussy pretty regularly told me in complete sincerity since he was drunk asf, that when you make yourself the most interesting person in the room, girls gravitate towards you. Otherwise I would say just go out more and try to brute force a chance encounter
>make yourself the most interesting person in the room
Damn is that all lmao
Rule of relative vicinity. They react to local dominance and very rarely consider non-local dominance. In other words, a relatively high value bro in this village is better than an objectively high value dude on top of the mountain.
>In other words, a relatively high value bro in this village is better than an objectively high value dude on top of the mountain.
Until society let them see the top of the mountain whenever they want
The problem with modern dating is that apps let them be aware of the homie on the mountain, so they all think they have a shot with chad rather than settling for their local match.
i know, easier said than done, but sitting in the corner and being quiet, they wont even know you are there
It helps to learn to talk to girls casually and not feel like a sperg around them.
Flirt with older women at bars.
You won't like this answer because it's the one that everyone says and it's not wacky or funny but you literally just have to go out and join clubs and socialise
i learned how to talk to women by working with them in min wage jobs, once you learn that you just have to spot an in and make a woman feel special when you talk to her but also display your interesting side
>once you learn that you just have to spot an in and make a woman feel special when you talk to her but also display your interesting side
This killed it for me. As someone who has had sex, a sex-haver, nothing made me lost interest in women more than realizing how easily manipulated they are
Well at this point I’m assuming you’re out of options. The there’s probably no girls at your job since you’ve know them too long and they’re clearly not interested. You probably don’t have any friends if you’re a 29 year old virgin, so you won’t be meeting women through them. You probably don’t have the confidence and charisma to talk to women and break the ice with them in person anyway. Your only chance is to get on dating apps, take good pictures of yourself, and cast a wide net, maybe you’ll catch a few fish. I am 28 and was a spiritual virgin until 3 years ago until I decided to get on dating apps, met my cute solid 7 gf, and now we own a home together and are going to get married and have kids one day. To be fair I was just a failed normie, had a good job, and was decent enough looking (far from chad, maybe like a 7 with a good haircut and nice clothes (but take away 0.5-1 points irl because my nerdy nasally Chris griffin voice) so I probably will have an easier time than you, but you just gotta stick with it and eventually you’ll get somewhere. I’d say go out to bars, board game shops, join a hiking group, join a community sports league, etc., but, as said before, you most likely lack the charisma and confidence to be successful irl. But you can do things like that and just try to talk to girls. For irl and on dating apps what really worked for me was just asking questions. They say something about themselves so always keep the conversation going. Acknowledge what they say, relate it back to your life or something about you in any way you can, and then follow it up with another question. That way you’ll eventually break the ice, find things in common, and the conversation will begin flowing more naturally.

Based and similar
Met my about to be wife at 31, she was 24, her family is wealthy and started taking care of me
I got a great job doing fun shit and make great money
Now taking care of us both while she does her post grad knowing we have a future locked in even if either of us frick up
Really does take money to make money and be successful
Don’t know how poor people actually do it short of getting rich help like I did
how'd you earn acceptance of a rich family and a younger woman? wicked charm? I'm just glad I charmed a poor girl into revolving her life around mine
Yeah. That and I had nothing to lose by trying
Also flirted with her mom a bit when we met and her dad loved it, said I reminded him of himself at a young age
I honestly think I might kill myself at 30, I've never been suicidal before but how the frick am I going to deal with the crushing realization of how wastes my 20s were.
sex and drugs
don't think about it if you don't have a gun and an iron will
just trust me this time...
wasted compared to what? Some third-world street shitter who spent his twenties hawking hand-mixed rice and curry slop on the streets of Bombay?
Yes compared to him.
>get called an incel on Cinemaphile
>start getting self conscious about my virginity
>know it's not even a troony/roastie calling me it but probably just another virgin shitposter trying to get me angry
>get angry anyways
How do I get over this? God fricking damn it. I'm 22 and my dad is putting pressure on me to lose it. He recently caught me watching a vtuber and thought it was a cartoon until he figured out what I was really watching. I don't think he was angry, but he was really disappointed. He also hates it when I watch streamers too but Jerma unironically helped me get through high school since I was bullied constantly. It made me feel like I had a friend at home and the community didn't constantly berate me like the kids at school. Streamers in general really helped with my depression growing up.
I still live at home and depend on my parents and they know I'm not bringing any girls over. He's started calling me "Virgy" in public and around my friends instead of referring to me by my real name. It's getting annoying.
He used to play baseball while he finished his degree so I tried to show him how competitive e-sports were while I was watching Smash evo and he just asks "Aren't you a little too old for Nintendo?"

I hope this is fricking real lol. Your dad sounds kinda like white trash but this response is based as frick.
My dad is an engineer, definitely not white trash
No, I can't blame him because my younger brother came out fine. I take responsibility for growing up to be a virgin loser, I'm not going to blame someone else for my own failures.
>my own failures
the system failed you
No, it didn't. That's a liberal Black person or woman way of thinking.
Smells like pasta, but your dad is a piece of shit who failed you when you were growing up.

greatest Cinemaphile thread of all time
>character wastes his 20s due to cowardice and indecision
>Actually does turn things around in his 30s
Does turning things around include fricking hotties in their early twenties?
That entire thing of "regret of not trying hurts more than trying" does not work for me, at least for my near 3 decades of life.
I am only becoming more and more content with the fact that I will most probably die as a lone kissless virgin, not motivated to change my situation and do something about it. In fact I wish regret of inaction would hurt more because then I'd be motivated to stop being a kissless virgin still living in my childhood room avoiding anything and everything around me. But clearly regret doesn't hurt more, so I remain in this non life state.
>spend 20s being an incel
>0 interest from women
>through massive effort manage to get act together
>all the women who are interested now are fat, ugly and mentally disturbed

What's the point. I can't even sow wild oats. Should have just kept being a loser and killed myself at 30.
Find younger women, dumbass
They're not interested.
>character's life gets better at 30 while side characters are bald and virgins at 21
That actually happened to me. Wasted the entirety of my 20s shut in posting on Cinemaphile and occasionally playing MMOs. Turned my life completely around at 30. Don't give up, bros.
>Turned my life completely around at 30.
qrd?
Spent a week without the computer while visiting my grandparents. Gave me time to reflect on my life and how much I regret everything. When I got back I cut out junk food and started exercising everyday. Asked for a raise and got it. Re-enrolled in college. Started trying to socialize.
You can never leave.
You're still here though.
Any advice, LARPbro? Currently about to hit 30 and trying to turn my shit around.
you already know how, you just gotta find a way to get motivated to do it
jesuschrist great advice homosexual
>NOOOOOOOO FIX MY SHITTY LIFE FOR MEEEEEEE REEEEEEEEEEE
This is why you fail.
sorry, its pretty basic stuff bro
NTA but I was in your position.
What helped for me was letting others decide for me and completely giving myself up, letting them help me and being largely honest about my crippling self-imposed depression.
You wont get to be a rockstar this way, but at least you can live the life of an ordinary peasant normie.
literally the best advice ive seen on this website
i have a hard time letting others help me when I'm too anxious to schedule a doctor appointment and my parents are min wage workers too who need help themself, that advice seems like it only works for people in highly specific scenarios
>character wastes his 20s due to cowardice and indecision
>tells himself that he'll turn things around in his 30s
>is already 35 and nothing has changed at all
>40's it is!
You still got 5 years.
What the frick do I do how do I get laid how do I get a girlfriend the years are closing in help
Who cares? I'm 33 and ignore my girlfriend regularly because she's so boring. Stop putting pussy on a pedestal.
why don't you break up with her then?
She's mentally ill trans and I live off her gibs
I like having someone to cook and clean, she also contributes to bills by having a job
Hey guys, I guess that's it.
I've fricked a trans woman before, and I'm not afraid to admit it. It's still considered straight at the end of the day, so it's nothing out of the ordinary for me. It was strange at first making out with her. She rubbed my wiener through my jean shorts, and she started to undress. I was surprised by her feminine penis, but I started kissing it anyway. She rode me, and I came instantly from how tight she was and how her hard wiener kept bouncing off my belly. I'd do it again, but I'm too low on cash to get another escort any time soon.

it works bro

For anyone genuinely feeling stuck - unironically, start by cleaning your room and going for regular walks. You've likely gotten into a depressive spiral, so getting little wins day by day is the way out - build up to bigger stuff over time.
I got out, I got a real job, got a gf, married her, have 2 kids and house now. It can be done. But you got to do it every day.

>I got out, I got a real job, got a gf, married her, have 2 kids and house now. It can be done. But you got to do it every day.
My room is autistically clean and I regularly go for daily walks since I was a little kid.
Never even kissed a girl
The only possible way for me to ever even just try to get a girl is to hire a professional assassin and pay him tens of thousands of dollars to literally seek me out at random times putting a loaded gun on the back of my head where if I don't approach at least one girl he'll blow my brains out on the spot or something like that.
I have no clue how anyone is actually motivated enough to seek girls, try to win them over and then spend money, time and effort to try to keep them with you after that. All what happens in my brain when I see a hot girl anywhere is just "damn, she's hot" and I continue on walking, that's it
Seems like a fun idea for a movie
Go download the Blueprint Decoded by Real Social Dynamics.
You are gay
are there even adult kissless virgins who are gay? hell I'd say that even most gays kissed a girl at some point
Same, women are so unbelievably boring I don't know how anyone does it.

>thread about stagnantion and procrastination in important life goals
>expecting anon to have dental insurance
I haven't had health insurance in 8 years, i'm still getting around to getting some coverage
Give it to me straight: Is 33 to late to turn things around?
No the new 20 is 30
keep in a mind a hundred years ago nobody sat their first 25 years in school swallowing scienceslop just to get a pencilpusher job
so maturty is vastly delayed
Will it ease your mind to learn that most people don't do anything productive in their 20s?
Men don't mature until their 30s. That's where routine and career focus kicks in.
>Men don't mature until their 30s. That's where routine and career focus kicks in.
This wasnt the case a century ago. It is vital that you recognize that maturity has been stunted due to the feminizing organizing of society around school benches and abstract achievements.
I'm aware but I'm talking about nowadays. I even had a, for a lack of better words, career coach talk to me about this stuff and he said "it's fine to mess around in your 20s but by your 30s you should have a goal and career choice in mind", and that's what you naturally see with a lot of gen-Xers and millenials. None of zoomers I talk to have any idea what they're gonna do job-wise. Most of them live with their parents and show no impulse to move out and work on their careers. We live in a society that allows such behaviour so yes, men are going to stay sheltered, infantilized and lazy for much longer since there's little to no outside pressure.
No I've seen boomers go back to college and trade school trying to start over. You will be fine anon.
>No I've seen boomers go back to college and trade school trying to start over. You will be fine anon.
One thing you guys keep forgetting about is that these boomers had some kind of life experience. They will have some wisdow and be able to tell stories about their old job and their wife and shit...
I don't know if I am projecting but I think the people here who complain wasted all their years alone at home not talking to anyone and without a (serious) job.

You are me just one year younger.
So you have nothing to lose. Find a minimum wage job and start from there
That's what I did this year and it landed me a new job and talking to younger people which is fun (I'm 35)
You fricked any of them yet?
>Find a minimum wage job
this is so embarassing when i see what my peers have done with their lives.
And? Comparing yourself to them won't take you any where
Nah, they're moronic (also lots of gay people)
You're a 32 year old virgin NEET. Embarrassment is the very least of your concerns.
sounds like you have some shame related emotional issues you need to sort out brother. shame is a very destructive emotion.
I feel the same way and its the biggest motivator to live elsewhere, even moving one town away can help you start a life without the shame of running into the people you used to be an equal to
You've likely developed some sort of anxiety at that point and should consider professional help.
There is no "professional help" for personality disorders.
not sure anxiety constitutes a personality disorder
Joke's on she/her/them. Nutbag's don't have an egg timer.
Actually men's semen quality starts to decline about the same time
although the chance never reaches 0 like it does with post menopause roasties
My parents keep acting like getting a fricking bottom of the barrel shit wage job is some sort of panacea that will fix everything.
It'll give you the nudge to meet new people and experience new stuff
this, I always cite my wagie job as how I became a functioning adult despite never getting a better job the rest I did get
Yeah the real solution is continuing to ignore your problems and do nothing, right?
I'm literally the most awkward man in the world, I'm awkward to my bones. I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm not a shut in, I socialise a lot. I just can't string a sentence together.
Sometimes it just be like that anon
There’s a high likelihood your parents weren’t very charismatic
My dad is all charisma but very little actual substance except for a couple of people (not me or mom)
He can manipulate and get people to believe and do whatever he wants
So I became that person too, but tempered with my moms kindness
Now I get what everyone wants via gaslighting and other tactics
Men learn to fear me and women frick me whenever I want
But inside I’m actually a screaming mess of anxiety masked by this character I play
I’m literally a con man, just don’t steal from people

It's never too late anons.
Got molested by my dad as a kid which made me a timid coward and afraid of sex, then was embarrassed a lot by girls in school because they saw what a coward I was so now I'm terrified of them. My anxiety meds make it almost impossible to get hard. I'd off myself but it would ruin my mom's life.
You can atleast beat your dad to death if he's still alive
We all wasted our 20s here. That's the point of this thread. OP knew what he was doing.
Jokes on you, I wasted my teens here too.
You just have to try, fail, and keep trying til you succeed. And also just have realistic standards, you’re a 29 year old virgin, you probably won’t get a solid 7, you’ll probably be lucky to even get an average 5, maybe you settle for a below average 4. Take what you can get, at least at first, lose your virginity, get better at talking to girls and becoming more socially adjusted, and if you did settle and you think you can do better than just dump her and try. Practice makes perfect. I said I was a spiritual virgin because I lost my virginity at 21, to my long distance e-gf. “Dated” for 3 years, I thought I could do better, dumped her, and went out and improved by getting a solid 7 with a better job, who I could see every day, was 3 years younger than me rather than 2 years older than me, and didn’t speak with a Chinese accent. But I doubt I would have been successful getting my current gf soon to be wife if not practicing first. So just don’t be afraid to settle in the beginning basically is my point. Practice and see for yourself what works.

How do you even meet women
>0 success on dating apps
>go to meetups and hobby groups, sparsely attended, only women are over 40
>WFH so don't interact with colleagues much
>go to bars/pubs and all the women are siloed in their little groups
>cold approaches get cold shouldered
>every female accquataince I have is in a long term relationship
>none of my friends are willing to set me up
I actually have a secret for meeting 18-24 year old women but you have to be kind of attractive
Speed dating and other singles meetups. They are usually gated by age ranges and you know the people there are looking to date. Plus the woman has to actually talk to you for a few minutes rather than being able to swipe left immediately because you have an unflattering pic on an app.
>go to bars/pubs and all the women are siloed in their little groups
I spent the first half of my twenties cold approaching groups like this until I became so oblivious to social cues that I no longer gave a shit about being pathetic
sure I was never seen as a chad, but I did get to have sex because it threw off their incel detector
Whenever I attempt it the shutters clamp down and they close ranks immediately. I'm too naturally spergy to overcome it.
How do you have 0 success on dating apps? I really find this hard to believe. I thought it’d be hard but ended up finding a gf in a week. I’d just love to see the pictures and conversations of guys who say this, not in a mean way, I’m just genuinely curious what I did different that you guys aren’t or what I have that you guys don’t.
Statistics and genes. Dating apps are like 100/1 men/woman.
>what I have that you guys don’t.
you are not short or ugly
i am not short or ugly, but i have very little success with women on apps, unless by ugly you mean "not perfect". I also have terrible luck. Too many times i have met women who were genuinely interested and attractive, only to have them duck out for some bullshit reason or go crazy on me. The one time recently I got a date with some qt, while i was on a date i got a booty call from a random cute ho on tinder and i ignored it since my date seemed interested, but big surprise she actually wasnt even though i got like 99% there with her, and the ho ghosted me after that. I'm not sure why i only seem to attract crazy girls
I am short, 5’8. Granted I am not ugly, but I am not attractive either. A 6-7 depending on the angle, picture, and how much effort I put in. I was able to get my looksmatch, so I really just don’t get how other guys aren’t, which is why I’m just curious to see how there conversations go and the type of women they’re going after.
It’s not, everything I’ve said is the truth. Maybe I was just extremely lucky, because I literally didn’t make any huge effort or make any radical changes in my life, I just downloaded bumble and hinge and actually tried talking to girls for once. I find it hard to believe people are getting 0 matches if they’re going after girls in their league, although tbf I guess I only did talk to like 3 other women and the conversation went nowhere so who am I to say, I could have just been super lucky.
>I am not ugly
There you go big brain, mystery solved.
But if you’re ugly are you going after ugly girls and they are also rejecting you or unresponsive?
I swipe right exclusively on average and below average women and get 0 matches.
because average and below average women are not looking for average and below average men
and why would they, these days even 2/10 barely human obese female hamplanets have the luxury of choosing thanks to these apps
But the only reason why that is the case is because there are way more men than women on those apps. Basic supply and demand. If all you beta males stopped going on these apps, and actually left the house to join a gym, go to a bar, play soccer, etc., and looked for a woman there than the percentage of woman on those apps would go up, their value would go down, and you’d have an easier time getting your looksmatch. You are enabling and allowing these women to be overvalued by using these apps. Leave your house and be social, and guess what, there are far less men doing that than women! But the problem is you guys are anti-social beta males with depression, anxiety, and have no friends so you never leave the house and will not leave the house and instead go on dating apps where there’s 5 men for every woman and the complain when they have options and you don’t.
I do all that, the apps are supplementary. I get no interest regardless of the venue.
What do you do irl where you’re getting no interest? Do you actually try and talk to girls? Do you have friends? Do you do those things with friends? Cause I got news for you guys, no girl wants a friendless loser, you’re gonna have to make friends if you want a gf. That’s probably why your guys dating profiles don’t work either, because you don’t have any pictures with friends in there. Make friends, do things irl with your friends, and eventually the girls will follow, assuming your friends are not other beta make autists. And if you have no way of making normie friends surely you have a brother or cousin or someone that is a normie, become friends with them.
>Do you actually try and talk to girls?
Yes
>Do you have friends?
Yes
>Do you do those things with friends?
Yes
Then you’re lying or there’s something you’re not telling us. If you have friends that you hang out with (and your friends are normies who have sex) and you also talk to girls irl and when going out with them you would have gotten laid at some point. It’s literally impossible otherwise. You must be extremely autistic or extremely ugly or something. If your friends are other bets make autists than you need to become friends with normies first.
>phoneposter giving advice
only few edge cases go through life with literally zero chance presenting itself. most guys problem is that they actually chicken out in the moment because of self confidence issues.
I am very awkward and physically unattractive. It's really not that hard to imagine why I don't get laid. I regularly go out and try to talk to as many women I can and get rejected at every turn. Me being in the presence of normie friends in public does not somehow make me attractive.
How much of a blissfully ignorant Chad are you?
Do you really, honestly, genuinely think that if a man has friends and talks to women that should somehow magically make girls interested in him?
I am an total fricking sperg but even I know that's the truth. Everyone I know who engages in that sort of behaviour gets laid, not that I condone being a normalgay but it really is as easy as having friends and doing all that gay shit.
Anon I have friends and I went to countless parties, clubs, concerts, festivals and other events with said friends and talked to many people, male and female.
I also never even kissed, let alone got laid
Maybe you're just autistic as shit, you can't cure that by being around other people. Wasn't there something about kefir fixing autism? I never looked into it because I like being autistic.
>kefir fixing autism
???
Did you flirt with women at those times? Did you make your intentions clear? You are a man, and as such all the legwork is on you.
I won't pretend that I was a PUA master flirting and approaching every possible girl around, but yes of course I did those things too when it felt appropriate. Obviously with zero results
god this is some painful truth, when I got my gf years ago I had a close knit group of friends and it made me seem cool the wacky shit we'd do, now I don't have any friends left and I don't think i'd be able to get this gf, these days its probably ideal to try and make girls your friends
your experience flies in the face of what most other dudes report and all data on the subject.
surely this is a troll
>The internet is a massive echo chamber. There are millions of people living mostly outside of it, or not even on it at all.
For guys like us, the reality is pretty grim.
The hottest and least ran-through chicks become trophy wives by 19 and call it a day.
Cute-Average women are harem girls for alphas until they turn 30, and torment their beta male husbands who waited a decade to get with them. Stepkids are ubiquitous.
Ugly women become lesbians, feminists, or both.
>protagonist goes to take a piss but it all slides out of his wiener in a solid, greasy rod
What's their agenda?
>wastes twenties fricking around
For me, it’s spaced
My dad just narrowly avoided being a frick up himself. God knows how he managed to be with my mother long enough for her to have me. Mom doesnt understand why she ever got with him, and he has been alone since they split up 25 years ago. I'm just the natural end of the line I guess.
That movie fricking sucks
haha
at least college in my country is free,
so I didn't get debt enslaved to the ~~*banks*~~ for playing vidya instead of studying
threads like this have more or less destroyed this board, redditors who came here to troll the "racists" or whatever, can't make a good thread, can't make a funny troll, just c**ty b***hy low IQ arguing
the irony is that all the cool nerds left and now its just redditors trying to troll other redditors
>"hey protagonist, we've been living in the same town for the past 15 years, how come i never saw you around?"
how do they come up with this stuff lmao
himself that he'll turn things around in his 30s
Actually in my 20s, periodically I would have moments of lucidity after wasting another year in college and ask the internet for advice and people would tell me "you are still very young" and that gave me temporary relief. I kept telling myself I will start improving any second now and then I hit 30 with 0 progress in life.
Now I am just living with the realization that I am fundamentally broken and have 0 potential and I will never have the drive to improve. I can't cope anymore and tell myself I will improve because now I got 10 years of proof. Just how could I suddenly turn around my life and become disciplined after wasting my 20s completely? It's impossible. I don't think anyone has ever done it before.
People do it all the time, you just need to have a nice day and hope you respawn with better stats.
I've had my gf for 8 years and we're about to have children hopefully but everytime I hear about the WFH dudes who can't get a date to save their life part of me wonders who has it worse, I work 40 hour weeks at a pizza place but I do have a woman I absolutely adore, would you trade your chill well paying job for a good relationship but you gotta work like a wagie slave?
I've had my gf for four years and we live together but if you told me I'd have to start wageslaving like you in order to keep her then she'd be out the door in a heartbeat. I like my lifestyle and wouldn't give it up for a woman.
what do you do for work
>desperate for another opportunity
I live off dividends from investments and rent out properties.
did you make a killing on crypto or is it inheritance related
Probably grew up in a rich family if he's got a bunch of rentals and retired early at a young age.
I made a good amount in the early days of crypto by investing everything I made at my retail wageslave job and then inherited the houses.
I work as a risk analyst for pwc. Anyone "living off investments" had rich parents and their "investments" are just things their parents bought and gave them
feel like i have developed some mental block or crippling fear of applying any sort of effort for fear of failing.
for me it's less a fear of failiure but more that the internet gave me unrealistic expectations by confronting me with what the best of the best from all around the world accomplish so doing anything and making small progress doesn't give me any satisfaction
>main character's life has devolved into a endless cycle of anticipating drinking, doing the needful, and recovering from it
I finally started trying dating apps but I'm intimidated by how many women have PhDs, Master's degrees, and/or much better jobs than me. I feel completely worthless compared to them.
You shouldn't feel worthless, Anon. Comparison is the thief of joy.

You sound like a beta that would have trooned out if you didn't end up being such a cowardly man. No offense, of course.
happened to me in middle school except my friend just told the girl as if he was doing me a favor, she proceeded to avoid me every chance she could for the rest of the school year, true shame by 6th grade, wasn't until 9th grade that I hungout with a girl outside of school but I fricked that up before even holding hands and the rest is history
In the episode I watched it ended with
>character debates between buying a shotgun to end things or just rent in a shooting range to save money
>worried about saving money when you're about to be dead
yeah you aren't serious about it
>thread about wasting life
>instead of talking about what they want to achieve people talk about girl problems
cringe
I want to achieve sex and girlfriend.
lame
aim higher
these things should be sidequests and not your main goal
making your whole life about women is pathetic
Zzzzzzzz
What are you striving for then big guy?
women live rent free on the minds of men. we unironically need them a lot more than they need us. men tend to spiral and frick themselves up when they are alone for prolonged periods of time.
Speak for yourself, dumb virgy.
im sure you are the exception good man
Most men don't put women on a pedestal and that's exactly why they are with women in the first place. Desperation isn't attractive.
if you feel it doesnt apply to you then great friend
They don't put women on a pedestal because they've already fricked a bunch of them.
and they fricked a bunch of them by not being desperate losers
Nah there's loads of desperate losers about who've had sex.
Yeah, I'm a manlet loser who has a cute gf and has sex. Women still don't like desperation.
Nobody likes manlets either but if you have enough other qualities they'll look over it.
i have a longtime gf, I want to achieve a job that doesn't make me feel pathetic to show up to every day, nothing too wealthy but something I can do without needing to get high to get through it, I'm especially tired of working in service industry because everyone acts like my job should be a cakewalk when my zoomie coworkers call in every day and my friend I work with is a deaf mute schizo
>character wastes his 20s due to cowardice and indecision
>figures out what he wants, and musters the will to carry it out, but has become to physically ill from the self destructive lifestyle to change
dont be me bros. no matter how depressed and lost and adrift you feel, try to take care of yourself. you never know when inspiration and opportunity will strike, and when it does, you have to be physically able to grab it
i may be a 30+ turbo frick up, but at least i still have my health thank god.
Every Gosling character I ever looked up to and wanted to be was in his 30's when he turned his life around and got a girlfriend and saved the day. My rule is that if I get so old that I'm older than my favorite Literally Me archetypes then it's game over. Until then it's all about bettering myself slowly.
>turned his life around and got a girlfriend
that's when you REALLY frick up your life
Only if you're a moron. So many guys just jump at the first pussy that accepts them. True intelligent men know to wait for the right one before getting involved. Not my fault you got played by some hoe because of your moronic decisions and bad judgement.
>True intelligent men know to wait for the right one
I wasted my teens due to cowardice and indecision. My twenties have just been me waiting to see how long I can live with my parents without having a job or a car or any adult responsibilities. I dropped out of school at 18 and have been living in my childhood room ever since, I'm 26 now and still going strong.
I had been thinking my life was over when I turned 18 as Noah in The notebook was 17. Then I realized Dicaprio in Titanic was 22 when I was 23. Recently I watched The greatest Gatsby and he was 27 and supposed to be young and now Im turning 29. Its fricking over. I needed a phrase in my whole autistic life "youre still young"
GBV singer and songwriter didn't get success til he was 35, granted he was a school teacher before that but thats my line for defeat
>implying he didn't pitch a no hitter
>implying GBV is famous
Everyone is getting married and my body starts telling me you arent young anymore. I remembered right now Tom Cruise was 38 when she met his hot thief gf in MI 2 haha
>The greatest Gatsby
Comparing your age to fictional characters is a rookie mistake. Most characters are young just so they can be more relatable to viewers, their ages are often not realistic. I felt bad when I got older than all the jojo protagonists then i realized that's fricking stupid because there aren't any 15 year old mafia leaders with abs
>Character went undiagnosed with borderline personality disorder throughout his 20s

>she dumps you and tells you to look into bpd

Just turned 30 in May.
>character dates a skinny single mom
Didn't read the rest, you absolutely deserve anything bad that happened to you in that relationship.
Why is that the case?
I am dating a single mother, but she doesn't seem to have BPD.
so she had a made up mental illness that she used as an excuse to be a piece of shit and then told you about it and now you have your own excuse to be a worthless piece of shit, trust me bro your probably just lazy anxious and depressed
Trust me bro. Its real. Probably half the people posting here have it.
If youve ever felt like you wanted to love and connect with people so badly, but every time you try this dreadful feeling comes over you you cant even describe... look into bpd.
Its different than depression or social anxiety. Just trust me. I know how to deal with those things. I dont get socially anxious, and there is no positive feedback loop occuring to make me sad. Im sad with positive thoughts about myself. And what I feel isnt anxiety from people. Its so much deeper than that. So much deeper. Like we're fundamentally not the same.
People with bpd have organically different brains. Fight or flight is triggered easily. Its a bunch of fricked up shit.
Believe me bro. She was faking nothing. It was absolutely brutal to watch her suffer.
>half
No way. Not even close. To get BPD, you need to have had an especially traumatic childhood. Being beaten over a 100+ times, raped, etc.
Not true. Its genetic half the time actually. Anyone can get it if theyve had a particular terrible time with their parents. Incompotence and neglect come in many forms.
Its a maladaption the your needs as s child not being met. Or specifically your emotional state not being responded to correctly.
If you had a childhood where you felt like you couldnt communicate with anyone in your family theres a good chance.
I think for me it was genetic.
hahahahaha
haha yeah thats so silly, who could unironically think something like that..
If I turn my life around as a 30yo friendless, obv khv, lifetime neet I can become one of these motivational speakers and write a book about it. That kinda motivates me.
Name 5
no seriously, I need some relatable kinos

Me unironically
What age did you anons fully abandon hope? Happened to me a few months ago after miraculously getting a gf at 30 and losing her in a matter of months. I'd always clinged onto a glimmer of hope before but coming to the realization that my long inexperience has permanently damaged my ability to form lasting romantic relationships was the final nail in the coffin.
I am getting there at 26 because I am starting to realize that no matter what I do, the universe just rejects me anyway. I genuinely dont believe there is anything on this world for me.
maybe we'll have a better run next time around brotha
dont want a gf, since I am not sure I could stomach living with another person at this point. would like to get laid though, but I have neither the looks or charm for that game. guess I'll have to pay.
I hate how that's literally me
I'm 5'4'' is it over for me?
>I wish i had friends bros everyone rejects me when I try to get close to them
What did the character mean by this, with this quote from that one film that I just posted
i am 20 years old
what should i do right now?
leave this site and never come back. please anon, trust me, close the tab and forget this site ever existed
Not him but this website has made me a more interesting person, I think.
exactly, I'm basically reading different peoples perspectives and opinions on every subject imaginable every day here, I've learned so much here that for 90% of people I'm a master conversationalist
>I'm basically reading different peoples perspectives and opinions on every subject imaginable every day here, I've learned so much here that for 90% of people I'm a master conversationalist
this is literally what every redditor believes lmao
I'm sure plenty of redditors have improved their knowledge by using the internet, point is I can talk about television, video games, music, outdoors, traveling, politics, classic delinquency , literature and plenty more and a lot of that is because I've learned so much online, I'm only 27 but I regularly talk with boomers or gen Xers that are shocked I know about the shit they think about
>I'm only 27 but I regularly talk with boomers or gen Xers that are shocked I know about the shit they think about
God I wish I had some boomers in my life to talk about 80s action movies.
Yeah I don't fricking know, something about gut bacteria fixing autism. At some point people were shilling for that.
I wouldn't go so far as that guy but it probably does enlighten a bit. Imagine all the people you know irl who are still mystified with places like Asia and Europe when people on here shoot the shit with people from there casually. I was swapping pie recipes with a brit anon the other day while my cousin is talking about going to England as if it's really going to be the most magical experience ever. Plus, 'paris syndrome' and all that
your entire post is extremely sad how don't you see it. online anonymous shitposting replacing actual life?
like a virgin who says he doesn't need to ever have sex because he watches porn. what's next, telling me how listening to podcasts is better than having actual friends?
>online anonymous shitposting replacing actual life?
I don't think he's saying that. It's just that learning through others experiences is far more efficient than learning through your own experience.
>It's just that learning through others experiences is far more efficient than learning through your own experience.
biggest lie ever, how deluded are you?
you can endlessly read about approaching and flirting with girls, but you will learn the most by actually doing it. you can read about swimming, swimming techniques, water physics everything as much as you want, but you will learn the most by just going into the water and trial and error yourself. goes for literally anything
you only get the feeling as if it's "far more efficient" than experiencing it on your own. you can watch a travel vlogger reach the top of a mountain, but nothing will compare to you actually doing it yourself. you can watch the most detailed passionate porn, but nothing will compare to you actually having sex yourself etc etc
>biggest lie ever, how deluded are you?
You're missing the point. We as humans are just very good at learning by watching or listening to other people. That's what makes us the top of the food chain, if we weren't so good at learning from what others are doing we would never have gotten this far. That's what makes us human, some of our ancestors were blessed with a mutation that made them good at learning that way and they dominated everybody else.
Stay away from women
not what this guy said
I've had great times on here and I still do and it never stopped me from getting a gf, My advice is go into trade school if you're a hands on type and if you're a nerd learn software development type shit. Whatever you do don't coast for the next 4 years.
Get a dui like me if you want to frick your life up for a few years and fall way behind in the rat race
i haven't been able to make friends in years and it really bums me out cause my old friends basically cut me out, I feel like I wanna find Cinemaphile type bros but you frickers are all terminally outsiders so we'd never meet anyways
What's your location?
Oregon
Sorry that's 9-hour difference with me. Maybe we can be friends when your sleep schedule is truly fricked.
euro?
The anon's dilemma. We're probably the only people that could tolerate each other's autism.
around 2015 a mixture of alcohol and strange coincidences made me a bunch of friends and got me into a new social circle
then the pandemic happened and then all of those people moved away to different cities and the group chat we had is basically dead now
i can't drink like that anymore and i don't know how to make friends anymore, i'm going to be a very, very lonely person from here on out
when it's cold i'd like to die
The most important thing you can do for getting your life together is to get off Cinemaphile and the internet in genera, unless you're using it to gain skills.
>character is a virgin at 29
>not because he can't lose it, but because he only likes redheads
>can't find any
Shit's fricked
How the frick does this even happen?
I had a good job by 21. Do you guys just not have any sense of responsibility or desire for anything new?
>Do you guys just not have any sense of responsibility or desire for anything new?
Basically yeah. My life is literally just wake up, wagecuck, eat, shitpost and go to sleep. Rinse and repeat for the last decade straight
severe lack of motivation, I literally had the highest grades of any male in my graduating class and a scholarship purely based on poverty and having a high ACT score. Dropped out of college almost immediately and have bottom barrel waged since. I think I need an adderall script or something, everyone else I know seems to have a driving force inside them but all that really drives me is avoiding being homeless and staying out of jail
>or desire for anything new
Nope not really, I'm very content as I am. The only desire I have is to learn more, I really should learn a new language but the constant flow of information on the internet is far too addicting and I don't know what language to start with.
>constant flow of info on internet is too addicting
wow thats my exact problem, I'm too busy reading random shit everyday to ever actually do anything productive for myself, half the time I'll try out a board like Cinemaphile and be fascinated with the shit they talk about and flashforward 6 hours laters its 2 am and I have to go to sleep to go to work
Yeah, I barely even find the time to engage in other hobbies like watching movies sometimes. It does help to just force yourself to take a break, going on one of the slower chans made me a lot more productive for a short while. I probably should stop going on the faster boards and just stick to Cinemaphile and so on. I really want to learn a new skill and a new language.
What's it called when you finally get friends and even snag a girlfriend, only to realize that it felt more exhilarating just watching Youtube slop from your couch every weekend and shitposting online.
Granted my friends are extremely boring normie-wannabes.
Its called dopamine.
Breathing dorsnt feel that great either. Now hold your breath.
>characters turns 40
>life keeps passing him by
>only 30 to 40 more years to go
20s are ten goddamn year. How can you waste ten fricking years of your life. I got my life around at 22 and I was already feeling like a loser, you're telling there are morons out there that hit 24 or 25 with no real achievements and STILL remain in inaction?
my problem is my achievements by 25 were traveling america in my van, playing in a rock band, and recording a couple albums. Made me seem cool to a lot of people but now I'm near 28 and being cool hasn't gotten me anywhere cause I'm application averse
> owned a van as a young man
> knows an instrument well enough to be in a garage band good enough to sell albums and get a few gigs at bars and local events
> spent life of the road
Bro you didn't live my dream but you did live many others. You spent your prime doing what you love with other people. Most people cannot say that. I'm happy that you did that.
I'm 23 and I spent less than 2 semesters in college before I dropped out when the universities kicked everyone out of dorms for covid. I was already struggling hard in half my classes and didn't give a shit so I dropped out so bad grades didn't go on record. Not that it would've mattered though, as I probably will never go back. I spent almost a year as a neet at my parents house feeling awful every day, then got a job at a pizza place for 2 or 3 months, then I got a real job as a cable guy and come January will have been doing it for 3 years. Still virgin, still live with parents but I got a lot of money. Not sure what to do with it but even though no gf no longer afraid of talking to people because I meet at least 4 new people a day for my job and no longer nervous.
Good luck with your life anons
>ten goddamn year
>I got my life around
I fricking hate ESLs
A couple of typos don't change the reality that in order to remain a useless loser for 10 years means you gotta be a special kind of moron. I'd have starved to death, so I assume all of you received handouts from your parents or some shit
No handouts for me, I just do the minimal to get by every month and that's it. That's my entire life
>I just do the minimal to get by every month and that's it. That's my entire life
Just as god intended. You don't see a rabbit in a field stockpiling carrots for a rainy day or thinking he's the hero of his own narrative, or that he has to become king of the rabbits.
Life is a gift. Never let anybody make you feel guilty for enjoying it.
>you're telling there are morons out there that hit 24 or 25 with no real achievements and STILL remain in inaction
How about 32 years h-haha
don't worry lads
