You aren’t the only one in life that has self esteem issues and you aren’t the only one in this thread that has had to battle it.

That’s been established and people across multiple post have acknowledged that. What reactions/feedback/etc are you looking to get at this point?
Have yet to have heard a dude share my experience.

Plus y'all got females, I ain't got shyt better to do :yeshrug:

Y'all always wrong.
The older woman is telling the men to be miserable like them.

I hope no young men end up like me .
Although you are somewhat down on yourself, you seem very self aware and less bitter than some people who are actively dating and in relationships. Brehs are in here having emotional breakdowns and telling you to lie and scheme for women. Your responses are actually quite calm, introspective, and full of clarity.

I think you should do and be whatever makes you happy. Good luck.

Yes but would you have ever said that women don’t and won’t find you atttactive?
Yeah i thought that, and that's my point it didn't matter what I thought when I lost the weight, i didn't need to love myself, I didn't need therapy, just going from fat to skinny fat made people look the other way. I understand positive thinking, but not to the point it flies in the face of reality.

Even tho I stopped being in those circles I completely understand why some incels feel the way they do. It's not just the fact that the possibility of them never finding anyone is real, it's also the fact that people like to gaslight and pretend they don't exist.

If the answer is lie, okay. I'm fine with that.

But we are not about to sit here and pretend that women want to deal with a 35 year old with not experience..

It's a lot of women dating men who aren't physically attractive because that man is confident, funny, and has himself together in other aspects that attract her to him. How women view attractiveness and how men view it are fundamentally different.
And there's alot who aren't. There isn't someone for everyone breh and pretending there is, isnt helping them.

I never said that women are a hiveman but never in human history did 100% of men hit it off with a woman. Were playing the same mating game like any other mammal breh and like the others there are winners and they are losers and the losers aren't all whiny basement dwellers who don't talk to women. Ive seen them hell my great aunt knew a man who was an 80 year old virgin. Life ain't fair for everyone

There are some people dismissing it and some people (myself included) tried to give him perspective having been in a similar place. That was dismissed so I struggle with what the expected outcome is. Generally speaking when people share there is a transition to how to fix, improve, etc. the situation.

Breh i completely understand that loneliness isn't just an incel thing, but you can understand why someone whos amputated might not fully relate to someone who has a broken bone.

I’m think you are overstating it. Amputee or broken bone there is still a path forward. Those paths may vary but in this case the amputee is essentially saying because of my situation I can’t ever lead a functional life.

Some people you have to go at like that. I've seen pages of you guys trying to encourage him and give him helpful advice and just keeps flipping it into making himself a victim. He literally has probably a third of the posts in here of him just spreading his personal misery. That's time he could have spent going to actually try to meet a woman. I like how there has been a growing emphasis on men's mental health but a lot of people use that same new avenue as a crutch and this guy/duck is a prime candidate. If he doesn't want to be better that's cool. But stop whining about it too is my point.
I find him exhausting. There was one point in time I was wallowing in self pity about dating like he was, but at some point I realized I needed to get over myself. There are people based on what posters claim people don't want that are always in relationships and are often married. If they can do it while being what society deems unattractive why can't they? Where he's at he needs outside help that no one here can help with, but he's never going seek it out.

I’m not addressing you on this.
Really

Then who is the "him" in this paragraph you are referring to:unimpressed:
But I can't keep up with my own narrative right :unimpressed:

You are a 35 yr old loser. You have less than zero confidence in yourself and any words of encouragement that brehs have given you you've flipped to make yourself as big of a victim as you can. I've seen women with more fortitude and gumption than you. You are exactly where you need to be in the dating market. You don't deserve a woman because why would they procreate and spread your seed? There's nothing to gain adding another coward like you out into the gene pool.

I'm not stating life is over for them, but not all parts of life will be available, just like there people who can never have their own flesh and blood kids, yeah you can say that they can still live happy, but that quality level of happiness ain't gonna be the same. And I'm not going to sit here and say that being locked out of dating is something the average person can brush off especially looking at the response people had towards the quarantine.
