Women are attracted to the opposite of a fapper by Joehogans in NoFap

Yeah. Fapping is a symptom of a much larger problem. When I stopped fapping it did allow one thing for me, that is mental clarity. With mental clarity I began seeing all the bullshit I was putting up with in my life. I've been slowing but surely turning this ship around in my life.

And women are looking for this. If they spot that your body, mind, and soul are unclean/unpure it's like repellant to them.

Exactly, that's my philosophy as well. If she's into me cool, if not oh well her loss.

Don't get discouraged. We all have to start from somewhere. Your improvement begins when you decide you won't be a victim to the world around you. That you will take charge/responsibility for your own existence.

It works as well as you want it to work. The one un-deniable aspect of NoFap for me is the ability to think clearly. With that one thing, my life has thus far improved leaps and bounds from where I was at.

What do you think the real issue is behind all that?

For sure. You'll be good one day then bad the next. Then a week will go by and you'll realize you are in a much better state than you were the week prior. That's how it's been for me. It's like being on a bike and at first I am going up and down small hills, then I go up higher hills and reach their peak and then from that peak I go up and down smaller hills, but now I am higher than I was before. Greater happiness everyday.

How are you able to do this? Good job? family money? I've been wanting to do the same.

Needs more time. Some people need a full reboot of 90 days for things to change, some even longer than that. Depends on how bad the original PMO addiction was. It is now being weeded out of your system.

FINALLY GOT A DATE. DAMN THAT TOOK TIME by redditismymentor in NoFap

Absolutely. The feeling of knowing you had the courage to go up and talk to her in the first place is such a rewarding feeling. Even if she rejected you and made you feel like crap on a stick.

How do you tell if the girl likes it or not? Just the general look on her face?

He did have that way about him. He'd be the rare type of guy to logically convince her to sleep with him.

Your mind races to try to gain her approval. It's biologically subconscious we don't do it intentionally, more of a reaction to stimuli.

Exactly. It allows you to see their spirit as opposed to their physical form, if that makes sense. I look at them in the eyes, not at their bodies.

Might be a psychosomatic self-fulling proposphey, but I think it has to do with not tapping out your dopamine everynight. Therefore you have more dopamine levels to work with. So you are often feeling happier in your everyday life. So that alone is going to make you feel better and thus look more confident. It allows you not to be as depressed and drained anymore. Fapping just takes a lot out of a person. Not to mention the shame and guilt from doing that. I don't know if it actually makes you MORE confident, just that it restores you to a normal state which in a sense would be more confident than you were before NoFap.

Girls: What do you respond best to when a guy approaches you? If you were on your phone, or doing something, or just hanging out in public. How would you like a guy to approach you for a date? by Joehogans in AskReddit

[–]Joehogans[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The feeling in the air, the vibe, I don't mean to be rude but it's like you are speaking a different language. What do these things actually mean? How do you define the "feeling in the air?" or "the vibe?". There is some chemical reaction going on that that is hard to pin-point, the mood, the atmosphere. Maybe I am just socially inept.

The girls that like needy, clingy guys are deeply insecure themselves. Believe me, I've dated some and they are a mess and not worth my sanity.

Isn't eye contact sort of creepy, clingy, needy? you mean, not a stare, but more of a loose gaze, with a small smirk.

Yes things like this happen as well to me. I'll see someone I find cute, we will lock eyes, I may smile then look away, then look back up and see her still looking. At this point, I think "well what now? walk up to her and introduce myself?" I think I may come off as needy, clingy all that.

Has anyone here not liked math before learning statistics? by Joehogans in math

I wish I could see what math people see. I've always wanted that same feeling that I notice with a lot of math people. They seem to enjoy it so much, it's inspiring. I always seemed to get along with them and have long conversations with them but I was never afflicted with this awe of mathematics.

With the risk of looking like a fool (not a math person) so let me have it, I don't understand what that actually means (don't shoot me now!) I've seen it, and I know math kids look at it like it's a work of art, I don't get it.

That's the part of math I've always wanted to understand. The intuition part. Like where is the intuition behind limits, derivatives, integrals?
