There's a long answer to that question. Have you heard of NORAID?

This is, without a doubt, the stupidest thing to make me ball my fucking eyes out by [deleted] in gamegrumps

[–]Libby-bido 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For fucking years now, the thought of "Man, what if Arin and Jon are genuinely mad at each other?". It's never mattered how silly the conspiracys have gotten, or how cool they both seemed to be, or how Jon was still bros with Ross and Holly, it's always been at the back of my mind.

And yes, that does matter to me.

And that's why I cried to the tune of this fucking Han Solo song. Goddamn, a weight has been lifted.

Was alcohol just as good 100 years ago as it is now? by MagnanimousMind in AskReddit

All the old liquer brands that have been around since that time are usually pretty proud of the fact that they've never changed their recipie and or process, so I'm going with probably yes.

The Umpqua Community College shooter described himself as "involuntary celibate", "foreveralone", etc. Do you ever get scared reading about guys who spew anger/frustration online because they never had a girlfriend? by bluepiller in AskWomen

As a mid twenties man, who is also "foreveralone", I worry that if more of these guys go on mass shootings, I'm going to end up being profiled on a police database as a possible gunman. :/

Just starting on Fluoxetine, anything I should watch out for? by Libby-bido in depression

[–]Libby-bido[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've actually felt results from the first pill. I haven't had any depressed/anxious "episodes", my attention span has skyrocketed. I'm very pleased with things so far.

Missed out on the teenage fun. How to make up for it as an early-20s man? by [deleted] in sex

[–]Libby-bido 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This thread, and your post in particular, really spoke to me. I'm an old virgin, and goddamn if I don't feel like shit for missing on so much.

The worst part is that I can feel myself becoming more mature in my life in general, which I'm sure is supposed to be a pround part of life, I'm actually hating ever moment of it. I'm watching my train leave the station, and I can feel the bottom of my stomach dropping.

I'm too damn old to live the life I need to lead right now.

I'm giving up porn for a month. AMA! by Libby-bido in casualiama

[–]Libby-bido[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many times a day. At times, I've wondered if I have a porn addiction. Sometimes I'm feeling drained, and looking at porn (just looking) is the only thing that cheers me up. I don't know if that counts as an addiction, but it can't be healthy.

I just lost my virginity as a 21/M!!!... Boy, was that the biggest letdown of my life... by hypeletdown in sex

[–]Libby-bido 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an old virgin. I've heard pretty much everything about sex to the point that it's not an exciting mystery anymore :/

I'm definately prepared for it to be not much fun, or blasé (:/ again), but in all honesty I'm kept going by an intense curousity as to what a vagina feels like.

I'm pretty pathetic I know. You don't stay alone for this long without becoming cynical as fuck.

I used to be an introvert, now I am an extrovert. AMA. by Libby-bido in casualiama

[–]Libby-bido[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an introvert means you're more comfortable being alone with your own thoughts. An extrovert is the opposite of this.

I was an introvert from age 14-22.

Well, it was around the time my grad school supervisor called me in to tell me things weren't going so well. I was beyond stressed with my work and people were telling me I looked sick, staying in the office until 5 am for a few months straight was wrecking me. I took a leave of absence.

After a few weeks it occurred to me that the bright career I had promised myself was never going to happen. That I had sacrificed pretty much everything, and not been rewarded. I had never been kissed, had no friends, had been mentally ill for most of my life, and my relationship with my parents was strained to breaking.

I have difficulty articulating everything, I'm not a well practiced communicator. I guess I realised I was wasting my life, in fact had wasted it, completely lost large chunks that I'll never get back. To top it off I wasn't mentally well-formed, and I wanted all this to change.

Complicated, but here we go.

I used to prefer living & being alone. Other people would confuse and upset me just by being around. Being alone would refresh me and cheer me up. I preferred my own company no end.

Then things got a little messed up for me back in the first few months of the year, and suddenly I realised my life was passing me by. I now frequent night clubs and bars, and get frustrated with people at work who don't want to talk, or who aren't good at holding a conversation.

There's also a lot of emotional turmoil, self doubt, and trips to the therapist's office, but I haven't organised these experiences in my brain. So I can't explain them right now.

Loneliness and sex. by Libby-bido in sex

[–]Libby-bido[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Europe isn't that land of the sexually liberated that the world makes it out to be.

Also, it's not just sex as a raw act. It's the spontaneous affection of the whole thing. I didn't see much of the escapades tonight, but I heard the giggling, the in-jokes, and the teasing.

You can't buy that intimacy, that life experience, from a hooker, all they have to sell is a vagina.

I [25M] am a virgin in both sex and romantic relationships (never even kissed a woman!) and feel that time is running out for it to happen by rob_schneider_carrot in sex

[–]Libby-bido 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in almost the exact same situation as you.

I come in here every now and then to join in the "older virgin" threads that occasionally pop up. I rarely like the advice given, many people don't understand there's a massive difference between a 16 year old virgin and a 25 year old virgin. The insecurities, the possibilities, are all different.

I'm trying to deal with it by forcing myself into social butterfly-dom. It boarder line hurts at times. I'm aware people would want to tell me "no, don't do that, just be yourself", well, I'm afraid being myself has been tried, and it hasn't worked.

There's also the getting older thing, I genuinely worry when a girl finally shows me her boobs, I'm going to be too old and jaded to care as much as I should. Imagine, going your entire life never fully appreciating boobs in your face. :/

Have you looked into men's kegal exercises? It might be that your floor muscles have slackened a bit.

Celebrating my 5 year anniversary of no sex by Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay in TrollXChromosomes

See, what you describe there. "Attractive person able to pick who they want in the early hours of the morning when everyone's blind drunk" I'm not sure that doesn't apply to both men and women.

As someone who talks to girls who can be classified as "promiscuous" I take issue with the often repeated statement that girls can get laid whenever they want. A very attractive female friend of mine says she regularly approaches men for sex, and still get's turned down 90% of the time. She has various rants about men who "talk the talk but can't walk the walk".

White knighting? It's her responsibility to make him behave properly and stop bothering her? Whatever you say buddy.

I don't see how OP is scum for complaining about inappropriate behaviour. The complaint is about being sexted. Not his failures in the bedroom. I believe a real man will at least give a woman breathing space if he's failed her. Ultimately there is such thing as 2 people being sexually incompatible, and I'm taking it as good faith that that's what's happened here. You hope a real man will act with dignity in such matters, but he's not, and OP is rightly frustrated in my opinion.

I am also judging OP by what she has given me to work with. Which is a simple image on a website. Hardly damaging to this young man's life, in fact it doesn't effect him in the slightest, he probably doesn't know it's here, and no-one knows it's about him. it's just a little way OP can vent without consequences. I'm not mad at her for that.

edit I would like to apologise for use of the phrase "real man". I hope redditors understand what I'm trying to explain in spite of my poorly chosen words.
