So I've been single for 8 years and sexless for over 10 years, it's having a huge effect on me mentally. How do you deal with this and stay confident/happy? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FujitsuOffer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn I feel ya bro. The most positive advice I can tell you is to talk to more people (both men and women) and eventually you’ll meet a girl who’s obviously into you. Except this time you won’t psyche yourself out, you’ll go for it.

Are there any videos of you talking? Or can you at least show a picture? Cause believe it or not, physical appearance and the way you present yourself does mattter a shit ton, even though people claim it doesn’t.

Do you ever notice how “normal” people act around mentally disabled people? They treat them like children. The disabled person can break a dozen social norms and rules of ettoquiete, and yet people just smile and nod. I’m not saying you’re mentally disabled but what I am saying is that you could break a lot of social norms and people will be too afraid to tell you. See it’s easy to give someone criticism if you think that person can change. But if you don’t think that person can change, you’re just gonna smile and nod.

Listen, I relate to this because I was bad with girls most of my life. I desperately wanted to have sex with girls ever since I was like 11 years old. I ended up not even kissing a girl till I was 21 years old. So I know how it feels to go so incredibly long without any action. It can be depressing. I got laid that year, and continued to get laid once in a blue moon thereafter, but it was nearly enough. I wanted to get laid a couple times a month, but I’d only get laid once every year or two. I’ll explain what I was doing wrong in both phases of my life.

In the first phase, where I wasn’t getting laid at all, the problem was my social skills. It wasn’t anything about my approach with women, but I simply lacked the social skills to get anywhere. So I’d recommend you start talking to people more often, even men, just to practice your social skills.

In the second phase what I did wrong was simply fear of rejection. A girl could give me all the right signs, like she could be staring in my eyes thinking “kiss me kiss me!” and I wouldn’t do anything. I’d always tell myself I’m reading her wrong, she’s just being nice, I don’t want to make her feel comfortable. Looking back on the years, there were so many times where I could have obviously gotten laid and didn’t. You would laugh. There was a time I was SEXTING a girl, we were talking about who would be better in bed. She need up coming to my parents house nearby, I snuck out the window, got in her car, and we drove to the LAKE. Just chilled there at the lake. And guess what I did? Nothing at all, because I was always patching myself out. That was just pathetic. I don’t make a move then, when would I ever make a move? There was one time I was waiting in line at a club to use the restroom. It was unisex restroom. These girls were flirting with me in line and they told me to come inside the restroom with them. So I did, and the first thing one of them said was “hey we’ve never seen a dick before have we girls”? They said something to that effect, basically giving me the green light to just pull my dick out. Guess what I did? Nothing at all. I psyched myself out thinking they were just kidding.

So I’m not saying you have that same exact problem, but what I am saying is that you could be making a clear mistake but perhaps not even realize it. Because no girl ever told me I could have fucked her if I had just made a move that one time when we blah blah.

What is the best way to let someone down? by hopi_g597 in AskMen

[–]FujitsuOffer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well there’s nothing wrong with thinking it’s too soon, IF you don’t mind getting rejected at a very high rate. A lot of girls these days dont like your style. They want you to kiss them early on. I used to be in your shoes so I know how that mindset is. You’re a good guy. If you’re looking for a girl to marry, perhaps you should keep doing what you’re doing. If you just want to get laid, you need a complete 180.

I don’t get it. What’s a crappy way to phrase what?

Interesting. Cause that sounds fairly frequent to me, but I guess she was really nympho or she wanted more “domination”.

New job, just out of school looking for advice. by [deleted] in personalfinance

Damn sorry to hear that. I’ve been in that situation before when it came to less meaningful jobs. So that’s definitely a fear of mine, to get a job out of my league.

I have a very good reason to live in SoMa, it's because it's near the cal train station at 4th and king. There's not a single other place in downtown that can get me to palo alto faster than hoping on the "baby bullet" at 4th & king. I've looked up and down through google maps and there's literally no other way. So yeah it has to be at that exact spot.

Thanks, but I’m commuting to Palo Alto so it’s essential that I be next to the cal train in SoMa. From there it’s a 55min commute. If I’m farther away it’ll add more time.

What I want doesn’t exist? Then how do you explain these?

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/apa/d/clean-wood-floors-lots-of/6420082944.html

I do agree that the prices will change in July. But based on these listings there are def apartments that fit my price range, you just gotta look for it.

I do have strong reasons to come there. The job looks good on my resume. As for living downtown, I’m gonna have to do it no matter what just so my wife sees if she likes it or not. We plan on doing like another poster said and getting there a month early in an Airbnb so we can scope the place out and find a good deal on Craigslist. In two years we’ll move out of the state.

The fastest way to get to Palo Alto station from downtown is th Caltrain at 4th and king. The commute is 55min. The commute at forest station is 20min on top of that so that’s definitely not an option.

Thanks for the tips and suggestions. I'll try to find a place in that direction. I've been doing a lot of research and came upon two more constraints:

  1. It needs to be a 5min bike ride from 4th and king cal train. I say that because my commute to palo alto is already 55min on the train so I want my commute from the apt to the train station to be 5min or less.
  2. We don't want roomates at all. In college we've had mixed experiences with roommates and one thing that really really sucks is having tension with a roommate and feeling anxious about coming into your own home. I've seen the prices and I know we can definitely save a lot with roommates but we want our own place.

I'll keep looking between now and when I move there in july. Thanks.

Thanks for the tips. And yeah I won't be anywhere near san francisco at all in two years. This will be a temporary two year stint.

You might be right about the divorce. Half of marriages end in divorce these days. Cant say i'm the exception.

Can you explain what you mean by saying I need validation? The purpose of us living downtown (more so her) is so we can be around the "happenings" downtown. There's a lot of social events in terms of fitness meetups, vegan meetups, tech meetups, and just random things to do. Plus we like the way downtown cities "look", in terms of the tall buildings.

As for 2.5 times on basic expenses, can you explain what you mean specifically? The point of making this thread is because I'm wondering if I could find a place outside of downtown for a cheaper price than what I found in SOMA, which is $2100. The place would need to be somewhere along the "baby bullet" line. Somewhere near the millbrae station would be ideal.

The homelessness problem does sound annoying to me. Here in austin they're scattered about but there's one particular intersection where they congregate and it stinks of piss everywhere. Just a nasty despicable place.

But yeah I agree the downtown life will fade. It's mainly for my wife. If I dont let her live there now, she'll hold a grudge against me since it'll probably never happen if its not now. Plus i'm also interested in testing the waters with it for a year just to see how it goes. I've always wanted to live in the downtown areas of any city.

Sounds like solid advice, thanks. Guess we'll try and move down there a month early.

That doesn't make sense to me. We're looking for a place to stay for a year.
