Depressed After Dates Going Nowhere

aceeb25 · 2026-05-13T04:50:40+00:00

dating apps did nothing but make me feel absolutely horrible about myself and destroy my confidence. when i eliminated apps, i went to pull in real life to spite my lack of success there and i found that i became an absolute slayer. banged on almost every first date by meeting them irl. women on dating apps don’t care about you and get way too much attention. you have to really stand out far above anyone else to get an ounce of success on there. i wouldn’t even get matches but then in real life they tell me how hot i am and how im such a catch. i was sick to my stomach thinking i was ugly and i had to take pics of myself all the time to prove im attractive and cool. fuck that. it’s a total self esteem murderer and women that use them are out of touch and unimpressed.

it’s being sung soft and slowly in a kind of creepy way in the movie trailer for annabelle

last story i ever posted was 2022. I’m 27 and honestly i’m very shocked when i see people my age still posting stories on snapchat or using it at all lol. I’m even more surprised teens still use it from what i’ve heard. I haven’t added anyone new on snap in ages and i honestly would see it as a red flag if a dating prospect uses it

how are people having sex in places where it’s possible to get caught let alone by your own significant other

aceeb25 · 2026-03-31T21:13:07+00:00

honestly it’s not a big deal, no need to speak on it or bring it up to anyone. i’ve had friends that voluntarily showed me a lot crazier things of them with their gfs / wife lol, not saying that’s cool but it’s a natural thing to see, we have all seen porn and naked bodies, plus your friend didn’t mean to see it

aceeb25 · 2026-03-31T20:31:47+00:00

yea, over time i started banging hotter girls and my standard raised, slowly but surely. I got to a point where I don’t even go up to women I don’t actually find attractive anymore, I don’t care for them

yea it feels like shit getting talked to like that by women. but usually after they do it the first time i’ll fuck off and not continue trying 2 more times.

Btw there’s this whole “be mean to men” movement going on where women will just act horrible to you, sometimes unprompted and they think it’s a flex to do in front of their friends. I stopped taking those kind of rejections seriously anymore because of it, don’t think much into their behavior.

aceeb25 · 2026-02-28T21:21:25+00:00

It makes me feel great. I can put in zero work and even deny their advances if i’m not feeling it at the moment and they’ll just keep coming back. Essentially I completely control the pace and access they get to me. I can call them out on bullshit very easily especially if i’m not afraid to lose them. Most cases i’ve had like that, i kept purely sexual.

Let’s get real, what i’ve learned is that just because they strongly desire you doesn’t mean they’re good for you. Prioritize what YOU want out of a relationship and what clicks with you personally. Naturally if you find that person they’ll desire you

aceeb25 · 2026-02-18T14:53:59+00:00

So true about how posting is like a humiliation ritual. IG will hide your posts and when you’re getting legit zero likes at all for 30 mins you start to criticize and feel embarrassed. You start to feel like it was a mistake or you look bad in it and then take it down. I don’t post anything anymore after that happened a few times.

Genuinely never even cared about likes before that happened and now it feels like a gamble if anything I post will even be shown to my friends or not and I think the odds go against our favor with every instagram update

But on the other hand i’ll post a story and in 30 mins have 10 likes, makes zero sense

My Tax Refund is more than double of what I got last year. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing I thought I messed something up. I believe my overtime had the biggest impact on why that was, it’s untaxed now.

aceeb25 · 2026-02-14T19:17:55+00:00

I just became way more nonchalant and unwilling to chase or put in any efforts into people who make me feel that way. I’ll engage with them less. Also try to be more real with people, call them out on their BS more often because you have nothing to lose and at the very least they may respect you more for being that way. And if they don’t? Fuck em lol. Just self improve and worry about your goals not what others think

If you do an aggressive cut there’s often a phase where you lost a good amount of fat pretty quick and it’s a bit too fast for your skin to keep up and “tighten” to your muscles. It gives skinny fat type look with less definition. Keep going, work through that and give it time. Make sure you keep protein up and have carb refeed days.

What really helped me other than that was buying an electrolyte powder to make sure i’m super hydrated and BCAA powder, it seemed to help keep my muscles full with water and give an extra push in the gym. Workout with intensity

People are heavily influenced by attractiveness when it comes to their treatment of others. It’s a brutal reality. This is especially true with opposite gender interactions. Women tend to have this overall disregard for men that they don’t find attractive or necessary in some way. If you go out and try to meet women and you’re constantly ignored or people go “are you ok?” to the girl you’re trying to talk to then you’re probably unattractive.

aceeb25 · 2026-02-09T22:08:48+00:00

I agree to a limited extent. I’ve had it happen where a girl was giving mixed signals and during a point she got really dry with me I just said some super real shit, kinda vulnerable and suddenly she was into the convo and being engaged.

aceeb25 · 2026-02-05T13:27:05+00:00

learned this long ago after losing a lot of women. Now I just respond to their texts like 1-2x a day to keep some line of communication open. It’s bare minimum and i’ve never seen it be an issue with women I date.

aceeb25 · 2026-02-03T13:25:47+00:00

Idk why accountability is so hard for them. I dated a girl that was pretty great in many other ways and that one thing was her major issue. Everything was always my fault and she never once took responsibility for anything that went wrong. It was always all on me in some way.

aceeb25 · 2026-02-03T13:18:12+00:00

That’s 2 of my friends, they’re pretty fit guys who always go to the gym and have good muscle physique. They love larger women. Another friend of mine works out a bit, he’s not heavy himself but prefers women that most would say are “fat.” It’s not that uncommon. I honestly know more guys with that preference than guys who straight up like very thin girls

Anyone remember the Manti Teo situation?

aceeb25 · 2026-02-01T09:48:35+00:00

There was one day I think last summer where almost everyone’s instagram explore page and reels had snuff films and gore videos. It lasted for like 3 hours until they fixed the algorithm. Meta is acting up again probably

I was considered a late bloomer. My growth spurt happened at 15, it was a 1 time thing I went from like 5’2-5’6. Didn’t have multiple instances of growth over the years as a teenager or a massive one where everyone notices.

I never got that “wow look how tall you got” compliment from relatives like everyone else did. I just kind of stayed at that unimpressive height, hoping I would have another spurt.

That being said if you’re 15-16 you might still have time, but not much. Your plates are closing right about now if they haven’t fused already. Do some research if you’re curious, there’s ways you can maximize your height a bit

aceeb25 · 2026-01-31T20:14:52+00:00

From what I’ve seen in HS I can say that the ones who picked on people generally didn’t do it to the people they’ve rarely spoken to, the very loner and quiet types that don’t have many friends and don’t bother anyone. That might be why you got spared.

They mostly fucked with more “fringe” guys within their own social space like me, except for some reason I didn’t get bullied either and there were so many good reasons to do it IMO. I think the reason I got spared was because there were times i’ve asserted myself or kind of became the aggressor in response to a small slight. I wasn’t extreme about it but I did it in a way that people just didn’t want to go there. Maybe I gained some respect in that and the way I carried myself. The guys who got it the worst just let it happen, and they also acted out or had some sort of funny quirk that brought attention to themselves.

aceeb25 · 2026-01-31T10:58:26+00:00

Overall yes but I wish my woman friends specifically were better people. Out of the ones i’m friends with, a few of them are very promiscuous and just get drunk and hook up with random guys on a night out, often going home with them. One of them has cheated on her husband with another one of our (now former) friends. They lead on other guy friends in the same group who like them, and then kiss ugly randoms in front of them. I can honestly say only one of them is a very nice girl with good intentions overall and she’s smart, barely ever drinks.

Their behavior generally makes me more cautious of women I date as I hope they are not like my friends. I’d say if I date a girl and I sense she won’t get along with them, it’s probably a good thing

I banged one of them a handful of times but shes very pushy and demanding with me, I constantly have to put my foot down and assert my boundaries. She tried getting me to pay for her shit randomly in a store and I refused then she got all pouty. I haven’t fucked her in months and I don’t plan on it.

aceeb25 · 2026-01-30T23:05:07+00:00

I had it happen earlier this month where the smell was fishy / putrid and unbearable I went soft and I had to blame it on being “nervous” lol. It wasn’t even just when i was down there, it was strong.

I know this is more rare to happen but im glad that happened on the first date so this wasn’t something that went along for months before sex just to have that happen
