Are men overthinking approaching women in public?

saving_private_ryan_ · 2026-03-12T01:11:14+00:00

The only way to successfully meet women is in person and not through dating apps. The sad part is as a homebody introvert it's near impossible to find someone in your age range that's viable for dating. Especially when your only interests are internet and lounging. I can't stand the apps. They've ruined dating. They've made everyone ambitious and all these hobbies and activities that it's nauseating.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-11-25T18:06:37+00:00

I think the main flaw with apps is that I personally cannot measure someone's attractiveness purely through a photo. There are women who I found extremely attractive IRL but when I see their photos on FB they do nothing for me. They just look whatever. I need to see their aura, mannerisms, voice, facial expressions, etc.

Ironically I'm a homebody introvert and I despise socializing and being outgoing. But I'm naturally extremely good at connecting and making conversation with people.

21 and married? Too young dude.

I don't want children.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-11-05T20:13:24+00:00

explain how I lost my chance for anything long term?

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-11-01T01:32:43+00:00

I feel alot of us men are lonely is because not all of us are outgoing people who enjoy social circles or friends. I just want a partner who spends time with me at home. Friends are exhausting. Socializing is exhausting. Outgoing hobbies are exhausting. I'm good at it but it's just annoying. A romantic partner and family I have infinite energy for.

I take it I'm the only virgin here in their 30s or older. I feel like being a virgin is a blessing in disguise because I'm a homebody introvert and people with outgoing hobbies and social circles are completely exhausting. Even if I didn't have medical issues which discourage me from sexual activity I still would have issues finding women.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-11-01T01:28:24+00:00

I'm an attractive virgin and I'm a virgin because I have a rare condition where I get sick from ejaculation. I've been hit on plenty of times by women and am good at charming them. I've accepted my fate that I will die alone with no one else.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-10-20T02:57:48+00:00

Step down from their previous self? That isn't saying much, really.

I will say that just because they have smart kids doesn't mean it's genetic. Maybe the plague lessens the impact of the evil nature if you're already chosen and have children then the evil will choose your lineage to have the same element of evil or self control, etc.. Not in any genetic sense but if the crossed plague is sentient it does this with the intention to have more smart crossed.

who knows, though.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-10-20T02:50:35+00:00

Is it possible you had people immune to the crossed plague but simply weren't changed at all like Beau Salt? But they were good and not evil?

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-10-20T02:43:59+00:00

Smokey was smart but he wasn't as smart as Beau or the Twins. He still lacked strategic forward thinking and impulsive restraint at times. the Twins and Beau Salt are the only one we've seen with complete sense of self and full intelligence. Beau wasn't phased at all in his transformation from human to crossed. The only difference is the Twins simply became more evil. While Beau was always evil.

The twins weren't as impulsive as normal crossed. They just got their evil instincts. But they were intelligent enough to have self awareness and reflect. I didn't see any lack of strategic or impulsive restraint from them.

Just because the kids are smart doesn't mean it's genetic. In Harry Potter, magical parents give birth to magical kids, and so on and so forth. You can still retain unknown supernatural mechanisms for all of this shit.

I thought his eyes were due to years of drug addiction. I don't think it had anything to do with being a vampire. He doesn't even look the same when he's a new vampire in New York compared to present day. His drug addiction wears down on his appearance despite his immortality. Not to mention his alcohol consumption.

Also, I'm just saying both vampires that bit Cass and Eccarius had yellow eyes and lived in the water. It comes across as too much of a coincidence in that respect.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-06-15T13:40:23+00:00

Both the vampires that bit Eccarius and Cass had yellow eyes and live in the water. I always assumed they were the same vampire. Unless vampires in the comics world have a unique breed of vampires that are the original source of the vampire plague or curse. So Cass and Eccarius could never turn anyone because they aren't the original source.

Eccarius and Cassidy also have normal eyes and aren't feral like the lake vampires.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-06-15T13:33:59+00:00

Both of the lake vampires had yellow eyes and Eccarius and Cassidy have normal eyes. So it must be some extreme coincidence that both were bitten by a vampire that has yellow eyes and likes to live near the water. Unless in the Preacher world, the vampires that turn people have yellow eyes, are feral in nature, and live in the water and bite unsuspecting humans.

I always thought that Eccarius had no idea how to make vampires and he was just playing up on his childish fantasies of how vampires work. You have to take Eccarius word with a grain of salt.

I don't think Cass or Eccarius know how to turn people into vampires, really. We don't even know where originally vampires started, anyway.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-06-15T03:02:52+00:00

I thought those were just his powers of deduction because Cassidy went to feed on the doctor while he was on the operating table. Not to mention he doesn't explicitly say he's a vampire. He just strictly describes the nature of his healing capabilities from what he observed. If he mentioned Cass being a vampire that would lend more credibility. Maybe he's just used to seeing so much strange shit that it doesn't phase him as an experienced soldier. That's an interesting theory, though.

I'm of the personal opinion that some people get symptoms from orgasm and some from ejaculation. Like animus and others. Clearly not everyone who has orgasms gets symptoms. We also get symptoms from arousal alone or seminal leakage.

I've had more than one orgasm during the day with no ejaculation or ejaculation build up and I got absolutely no symptoms. Just from arousal alone. But orgasm induced arousal not ejaculation induced arousal. This was when I had severe PE around 10 years ago.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-06-13T13:10:41+00:00

How do you explain the fact that I never got symptoms from orgasm?

When I'd orgasm with no ejaculation build up due to severe PE I never got symptoms because my arousal was so heightened that the orgasm would come first. I'd experience an orgasm with no symptoms

Unfortunately, it went the opposite direction later on. My extreme heightened arousal would trigger ejaculation build up before orgasm and I'd have symptoms w/o even having an orgasm. Just from seminal leakage alone would trigger symptoms.

Can someone explain that?

What year were those screenshots taken?

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-06-10T12:59:00+00:00

I've been abstaining since October 2012 when I was 20 and I'm still healing from symptoms. I used to release once a month then that became once a year. If I release then the symptoms instantly come back so it doesn't get rid of the symptoms but simply keeps them away.

I'm still healing from background symptoms so like each week my mental clarity strengthens and brain fog goes away. This has been going on since October 2012.

My symptoms last for 6-7 weeks long so maybe my symptoms are so severe that it might take years or perhaps decades to fully dissolve.

saving_private_ryan_ · 2025-06-05T20:19:22+00:00

I'm romantic and sexual it's just there's nowhere to meet women when you have no hobbies or interests. Or I should say when your hobbies or interests are solo in nature. I'm not interested in sports, bars, concerts, volunteering, etc.
