    People treat me odd, how do I find out why?

    Yes, you make a good point. It's important to put things in perspective. Some men just radiate charisma or there could be more context to it. I was returning a pair of pants. That's it. Though I would disagree that her service was simply "no nonsense". It wasn't efficient for the sake...

    People treat me odd, how do I find out why?

    I was in the returns line of a retail store. There was one man in front of me, 40s something dude with a cart full of baby formula and other things. The attendant, a young girl in her early 20s, was attractive and smiling/friendly with him while processing his return. The man leaves and I walk...

    How to get a friends circle after college?

    This is actually a very helpful post! I'm not charismatic enough for the middle paragraph, but I do agree that I just need to start the slog on the first paragraph. It's just so easy to be discouraged, because EVERYONE around you has a friends circle from high school or college. And you don't...

    How to get a friends circle after college?

    My ask is simple. I want friends. No care for what they do as a career or if their attractive or whatever, no ulterior motive. All I ask is that they are in the same age bracket as me. I am 26. I tried meetup.com but every gathering there seems to be for people in their 40s or higher. And it...

    Cultural Clash, ticking time bomb, what to do?

    Thanks for reading and replying. When Covid-19 really took over in March-ish it was no longer financially wise to keep my property. I had to sell it and move back in with my parents. I can't move out because of money, I simply don't make enough to live comfortably on my own.  I do agree there...

    Cultural Clash, ticking time bomb, what to do?

    Hey everyone. Been a long time off (5 years, approximately). Since then I've graduated college, got a full-time job, bought a house (and sold it..) and many other things. But still haven't been on any dates or kissed a girl (that wasn't being paid). This is going to be a long-winded thread, but...

    Anyone here seen prostitutes/escorts

    Hi everyone, First of all let me apologize if this in the wrong subforum. I've posted in the past before about commercial intimicacy. Over the course of January-March I went to strip clubs every week, I spent about $800 there total. During my adventures there I met an outgoing stripper who...

    One positive thing you accomplished today...

    I took a stand and realized I would stop going to strip clubs to "fill the void" that having no women in my life has left me. After all my encounters, everything just came flooding to me at once. 6 trips, over $800 spent, and nothing to show for it. Just awkward conversations with dancers who...

    Had my first kiss (it's complicated)

    On February 3rd, 2015 I had my first ever kiss. At the age of 19. It was with a very passionate and beautiful stripper. I don't know if anyone saw it in the other thread, but this is part of the strip club experiences I've been on for the last bit. Let's rewind to take in the context. I began...

    Went to strip club to explore female physical intimacy, anyone can relate?

    This is well written. Very well so. And it describes me perfectly, particularly that "divine intervention" part. That was me in 2013/2014 I was as sexually untainted as they come, and hadn't even hugged a female or had female friends. I kept telling myself "just wait, it'll happen. Just wait...

    Went to strip club to explore female physical intimacy, anyone can relate?

    This is interesting. In your emotionally intimate relationships, was there no physical aspect at all? I thought you could have physiciality without emotion, but never thought you could have emotion without physicality. But it seems you've had that. Elaborate if you can, it is peculiar to my...

    Went to strip club to explore female physical intimacy, anyone can relate?

    LONG BORING INTRO FOR CONTEXT: Hi everyone. I know its been a while since I was last here. I was last here on June 19, 2014. Wow. Last time I made a thread about how to talk to women in a university setting. To keep my follow-up short, no, I did not make any progress. I returned to school in...

    Need serious girlfriend help.

    Hey, it's bender22! I read your journal dude, about how you were forcing yourself to get into more social situations. Good stuff. No, you're not too late. You actually brought up great ideas! I never thought of that. Practice is definitely better than straight theory. And practice is something...

    Need serious girlfriend help.

    Hahahah I highly doubt that. During the summer I look something like this. I stay inside and indulge in the internet. There will be no context in which I can meet a woman. I don't go outside. Even if I did go outside to bars/clubs or shopping malls or whatever, I'd have to research how to...

    Need serious girlfriend help.

    Okay folks. I have rummaged through this thread and extracted all the info from each and every post. I can't act on any of the advise, as school is out for the summer. However, I've made note of the valuable tips and will surely implement them. I will resume my girlfriend-hunt in September...
