    Men - do you feel yourself becoming an 'incel'?

    I'm really glad that change in approach has worked for you, my dude! I suppose my question to you would be; what would you do if you did those things, and it still achieved the same results? Like, that's where I'm at. Socially confident, in good shape, no issues making friends or asking women...

    Men - do you feel yourself becoming an 'incel'?

    So, I've posted here a fair bit over the last year. I believe I'm a fairly 'average' guy, am in good physical shape, socially confident, I have hobbies and interests and earn a decent living. Nothing spectacular, nothing terrible. Problem is, I've never had a girlfriend, and very extremely...

    What's a painful truth you've had to swallow?

    I suppose for myself, the painful truth I had to accept, is that I'm not going to get a woman interested in me just by existing, which happens to most people I know. People I know can just show up to work somewhere, and within a couple of weeks they'll have a date with a co-worker. They can...

    What it means to be truly ugly.

    I feel like you're not really asking me these questions, and if you are, how the hell you'd expect me to know such intimate details of a friend's life is beyond me. I'm sorry the above things obviously happened to you, but this isn't a "Victimhood Olypmics" here, two people can both have...

    What it means to be truly ugly.

    I do agree that both sides come with their own set of problems. I know a girl who constantly gets bothered because she's pretty. She's not the typical "hot girl" type, she's just very petite and naturally pretty, dresses very casually. She'll be walking to work and have cars slowing down and...

    Having more energy than your friends?

    We still get on personality-wise, I guess we've just prioritised different things? Some have prioritised their career, or starting a new family, and let their health & wellbeing take a backseat. Growing up ugly & unwanted, I've had to make my health & wellbeing take a front seat in an attempt to...

    Having more energy than your friends?

    So, this is a slightly unique one, but I can't be the only one. I'm 31 now, with most of my friends being similar ages. I spent my 20s taking care of myself, eating reasonably healthy and exercising regularly. I also like to party on weekends. My friends did not, many are overweight and do not...

    Ho w to talk to your boss in a meeting with him

    It's true, they do, my point was just to get everything in writing, as then they have no deniability. Too often at my work, we can have an informal talk about something serious, then weeks later they can deny all knowledge of it. I'm now doing a fair amount of communication via email, which is...

    The affect I have on men…

    You say you just don't know how you do it.... I would definitely say the behaviours you've described are exactly how you do it. From this side, it just reads that you're constantly pushing for reactions until you get one, and it's not the one you like. You've said you enjoy distracting him to...

    The affect I have on men…

    So, wait.... you're awaiting surgery (I don't need to know what for, that's not the point) but you're disappointed that your partner did NOT pick you up and slam you against a wall and make mad passionate love to you because you asked him about having kids? That just sounds insane. Not only is...

    Ho w to talk to your boss in a meeting with him

    I've just come across this, and realise it's no longer helpful to you now, but I'd like to throw it out there for someone else: Get everything in writing. That is to say, if you're having a meeting with your boss/supervisor, have a member of HR take minutes, as well as a co-worker you trust to...

    Men with low testosterone

    Right, but then you stated having low testosterone robs you of dignity, as you are humiliated by both sexes. So surely having more testosterone is a more dignified existence? What am I not understanding?

    Men with low testosterone

    Oh I totally agree that level of **** addiction is a thing, but so far I'm unconvinced that it's related to low testosterone. So far it sounds like those are two separate things. Again, I'm just not following you there. I'm really not trying to play dumb here. You believe that a decent level of...

    Men with low testosterone

    Could you expand on that? Perhaps I didn't read it correctly, but I can't follow how raising your testosterone equals a lack of dignity. Right, but what I'm asking is, do you think your brain can tell the difference? As in; the dopamine rush from cumming into a tissue, or with a woman, is it...

    Men with low testosterone

    I understand that **** desensitises people to sexual stimuli, but isn’t that a separate issue to testosterone production? That’s a mental thing, surely. I would disagree on that one. As much as it’s not the be-all and end-all, there are a number of things it benefits: quality of sleep, energy...

    Men with low testosterone

    One thing I never understood about the low/high testosterone theory: So, men with high testosterone typically have a high *** drive, that’s a recognised symptom, and if they have a partner with a similar ‘drive’ they’re releasing that ‘tension’ on a regular basis. However, men with “low...

    Men with low testosterone

    Personally, I find it's the opposite, that the mainstream media has become more prudish in my lifetime with regards to ***. There's a lot less nudity in films in the last 10-15 years. As much as we grew up with the raunchy *** comedies of the 80s up until American Pie, it was fairly normal for...

    Beginning to feel suicidal

    Hey man, I appreciate the kind words. Unfortunately very little has changed, I still think of killing myself daily. Not out of a "want" to do so, I just really don't see any other way out of this situation. I haven't, because I really don't want to upset my friends, but I do worry that at a...

    Beginning to feel suicidal

    I have to be honest with you... that's just not what I want from life. I know things are bad and it's difficult to find anyone attracted to me, but a virtual relationship with someone I never meet just sounds absolutely pathetic. Throughout the entire thread I've been emphasising the fact that...

    Beginning to feel suicidal

    Sure. Physically, I’m in decent shape, I have a muscular physique, with broad shoulders & chest. I dress in cuts that flatter that physique, rather than hide it. Intellectually, I’m funny, thoughtful, and can usually hold a conversation on any topic for 5 minutes. I’m a talented dancer & self...
