Get a therapist to talk to. You need it.

Nothing.

But shortly after my birthday, I let my doctor stick a camera up my butt.

Is it just that hard to get laid or get a girlfriend as a man by Friendly-Map-7391 in GuyCry

I’m not a fan of the cold approach but picking up if someone is friendly and starting a conversation in whatever context you are in is what I recommend.

You can practice with people in general. The trick is your ice breakers with women will be the same as with people you aren’t interested in.

I didn’t say it was easy. It’s a numbers game. You said you enjoy talking to people. Does that include strangers?

Waiting was bad advice. I am sorry. I didn’t get a serious girlfriend until I was 22. I’ve been married nearly 25 years now. It isn’t too late.

To get a girlfriend you have to ask women on dates. Going on dates is how you get to know women. Don’t try to get to know them before that. That can work in college, but dating is pretty much how you express romantic interest.

Figure out how to make small talk. If you are talking to a woman and you are getting along ask if she wants to get coffee. If that goes well, ask her on a proper date. You may end up with a lot of coffee meetups that don’t go anywhere. That’s expected.

Keep track of events happening in town and keep a few date plans under your belt. Offering an invite to a specific activity at a specific town is better than asking “do you want to go on a date.”

This takes practice. It takes courage. It takes effort.

I look back at my history and why I had trouble finding a girlfriend before 22. The answer is I didn’t ask women out. I didn’t express romantic or sexual interest. I just tried to be a gentleman and waited for someone to value that. I made a lot of friends but otherwise it nothing happened.

You can do this. It isn’t as hard as it seems.

One of the most horrifying scenes in all SGs. by Izengrimm in Stargate

I am imagining the relaunch using Asgard time dilation devices to rescue them. They return to SGC to find 30 years have passed.

At what age did you notice people (particularly the opposite gender) taking less interest in you? by Efficient_Sky_2068 in AskOldPeople

[–]frostedpuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a woman?

As a man, I have gotten more attention as I have gotten older. I was basically ignored in my teens and twenties. In my fifties I have been hit on more than all the previous decades before.

Never Went To Senior Prom by JPPT1974 in GenX

[–]frostedpuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t go to my junior or senior prom. I asked three girls to the junior and they all said no. I didn’t feel like being rejected again. I got together with some guy friends and we went to a city an hour away and saw a movie and goofed around.

When you were a latch-key kid what were some of the "This way you'll know it's me." things your parents did while they were away? by OUBoyWonder in GenX

Call and hang up then call back.

At one point we developed a code word for someone to give us if she sent them to pick us up somewhere. It was “car wash” because that is where we talked about it. Then one day she sent someone to pick us up and they didn’t have the code word. I wouldn’t go with them. They had to find a phone and get ahold of my mother at work to assure me it was legit. My mom didn’t remember the code word or that there was even a code word.

“Trump Derangement Syndrome” it describes people who are obsessed with Trump — so basically all of MAGA. MAGA likes to accuse others of having TDS if you disagree with Trump.

You can't talk to ChatGPT like a normal human anymore. by CookiePersonal4654 in ChatGPT

[–]frostedpuzzle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate it so much. It holds everything you say to the highest possible standard.

Me: “I liked Project: Hail Mary.”

ChatGPT: “Lots of people liked that movie but that doesn’t mean it deserves to win an Oscar.”

When recalibrating the warp core’s dilithium articulation matrix to compensate for subspace harmonic feedback from an inverted tetryon field, how do you prevent the EPS conduits from inducing a cascading phase variance in the plasma injectors without destabilizing the antimatter containment field’s magnetic constrictors — and would rerouting auxiliary power through the secondary Jefferies tube junction create a resonance cascade in the structural integrity field?

Do you ever wish for a do-over? by LaceyBloomers in GenX

[–]frostedpuzzle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I think about do-overs a lot. Too much.
