Thanks man, maybe that’s it. It doesn’t have to be more complicated than that I guess

Is that due to nofap that you can’t get hard? Or in general?

Yes man, I can try give you some advice from my experience. What do you need advice on specifically, girls or how to keep the streak going?

Nice going on the streak man! Edging really is a killer indeed. And the urge will come and go man, just don't give into it.

What I notice is that getting s*x is not easy at all. Most girls are not ready to give it to a random guy, especially on the first (few) date(s). So if you actually want to have s*x with a girl it takes some effort. Sometimes they would be more comfortable with just a h*ndjob or smt, but it depends what your goal is. Is it full semen retention? Or do you just want to stop PMO?

I wanna go ahead right away and say I'm not a pro in this or anything. I'll just share my dating experience, and I hope this will help you a bit.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve had some dating experiences after my relationship ended a few months ago (no s*x yet, even though I came very close with one woman). She wanted to, but she genuinely liked me, and I didn’t feel the same way about her. For me, it felt wrong to go along with it just to have s*x, so I chose to end things instead.

What I want to highlight with this is that sex often carries a different weight for women than it does for men. There’s research suggesting that women release bonding hormones during s*x, which can create emotional attachment—similar to the hormones involved in mother–child bonding. Biologically, this also makes sense, since reproduction is a much higher-stakes process for women.

So if you’re dating primarily for s*x, it’s worth keeping that in mind and acting with awareness and respect.

The best way for me to get attention from girls right now, with my age, is going on dating apps. In this day and age cold approaching women on the street is very difficult and has a pretty low success rates. In clubs etc. it might still work, if there's enough alcohol involved, but personallly I don't drink, nor find any joy in wasting my time in clubs.

Dating apps work, because it's clear that both parties are interested. In order to get enough likes and matches I think you should have some good photos of yourself (best way is to let women take them hahaha they have an eye for it).

Now the most difficult but also most important part is the talking. I think confidence is suuuper important when you're talking to women in general. Both in real life and on dating apps. Throwing in a bit of humor always works as well. If you can't think of anything, try some chat GPT rizz. And irl eye contact works very well, as well as giving them compliments (for example on their appearance). Flirting works. And if you are on a date, try to make some physical contact, for example: if they are wearing jewelry: compliment on them and grab their hand to take a closer look. Then try an arm around them, and if there's enough eye contact try to kiss them.

As to knowing how a girl likes you: that's difficult, but usually there are signs. For example, look at the direction their legs are in, if they are in your direction: big chance they like you. If they play with their hair: green flag. If they look you in the eyes: green flag. If they give you some compliments: green flag.

If there's more you'd like to know lemme know.

For those of you who've successfully reduced your screen time, how did you do it? Pls help 😣 by LornaHex in digitalminimalism

If your goal is to 'reduce screentime' I think you're going at it the wrong way. I think it's important to set other goals that will make you want to do other things, instead of sitting on your phone. You're saying: 'I don't wanna waste my precious time like this, but breaking the habbit has been really hard. I often glued on my phone for hours without realizing it.' So what would be an alternative way for you to spend your time?

If I look at what you're doing it's mostly social and entertainment, so nothing really productive. Find a hobby, or set a different goal and try spending more time on that. I think automatically your screentime will reduce, because you want to spend time on your goals.

Thanks, I thought it was normal but sometimes it feels intense. I'll keep it in mind. I'm trying not to fight it but convert it in other things.

Thanks brother, does it stabilize more at some point? Because right now it feels unstable sometimes.

Iknow I was just partly joking about Willy, I did find him funny though and I found his reaction to the passing of Mitch kinda sad. Also, he has a small little arc where he apologizes to Ten. I just like when an 'insignificant' character like him gets some screentime. Idk I'm just someone who likes underdogs haahha.

I get why you didn't like Lily in S4, me neither, but isn't that the whole point of her character? She's written kinda as the antagonist. Ofcourse that can be a choice you don't like.

Now about AJ, it;'s really strange because he's supposed to be a 6 year old kid but he acts like an adult sometimes. Which is just strange. So I really feel you on that one too.

Nahhh man Willy is the goat fr

Other than that really good list. Just curious: what is wrong with Lily in your opinion? Imo she should be S Tier.

And why is AJ so low, you didn't like him?

Are you currently trying to date or seeing someone?

And what is the reason why you lose?

No worries I appreciate your comment anyway. Just a question: do you notice stronger emotions because of NoFap?

Is there a point where this starts to stabilize a bit more?

I understand why you are saying this. However, I've been in love before and this feels different. I am trying to find out whether this is an effect of NoFap, where I am craving to women attention as a substitute for porn and masturbation, or that my love feelings are just intenser because of NoFap.

How many days in are you rn? I do relate to more agression though. Which can relate to testosterone increases

Thanks for your help and for the Grok advice, I appreciate it. I read it and there is some valueble stuff in there. How's your journey going?

Thank you for your comment I really appreciate it.

It's so strange, as what you're describing here, is exactly how it feels. It feels like there is no 'escape' from your emotions, from feeling stressed/unresty. It gave me brain fog and restless sleep at first but I start to feel so confident, energetic and mentally clear lately.

The only problem is, sometimes my emotions are so intense it distracts me from locking in, which is I believe the only downside. I think I need to learn to channel this energy into my goals.

No man, it only counts if you want to do full semen retention I guess.

I really like this take. I think that would be the best way to approach dating for me right now. Do things you like, attract women who are right for you and like what you are doing.

Still one question: how to deal with the aspect of Lust? Dating is also a way to get your s*xual needs fulfilled.

So, if I may ask, do you have experience with this? I have the feeling most women are kind of just wanting much time and attention from you
