25+ thread

I'm old as shit and thank god I was just born before that threshold of entire generations of kids and now adults who were born on raised on the internet and were desensitized to regular porn by the time they were like 13 or whatever.

We didn't have the internet at home, and so I didn't get access to proper porn, until I was like 16 or 17.

Anyways it's good that you managed to work through all that .

40 and I feel trapped in almost every aspect of life. I am grateful for what I have. I miss the days of being nonproductive, smoking weed and playing video games. I wish I had a time machine to take me back to my childhood.

Turned 30
DNA activated for desire to have stable marriage and kids

Strongly considering if I ever have kids it has to be between 6-10 kids

Mentally I'm alright and the depression gets to me sometimes but really I just need to keep working on myself

also, I'm not broke or a neet
Just a guy who dedicated his life for career goals and fitness goals to actually one day forget to have friends and stable GF relartionships

I just kept on focusing on business stuff in my life

>Strongly considering if I ever have kids it has to be between 6-10 kids

why so many

I focused my life on business and didn't realize or think much about passing down my wealth,knowledge,. or genetics

I just never thought about it at all. I have the means to support a large family and I believe if i ever have a stable marriage I'll hope for 4-6 kids at a minimum and up to 10 if shes cool with it

I have to pass down this legacy, I didn't think much about it when I was younger

turned 25 a month ago, my life is complete shit, i've had depression and anxiety since i was 18 but the weird thing is that seems to have gone away now, i feel positive that i don't feel anxious about much any more, maybe i just don't give a fuck? but also i'm kind of angry that i've wasted so many years, i'm not sure what i'm supposed to do now i kind of want to go travelling but i also want to catch up on everything i've missed out on, but i also want to work on getting a decent career going, i probably sound neurotic right now

>that cons were 'too commercial'?
No, I think user got that impression but I corrected them. Most of the thread was older anons (27+) lamenting missed chances.

idk man I'd focus on just raising as few kids as possible but raising them right. 10 kids would be way too much work especially when you're gonna be like in your 50s or even 60s by the time the 10th kid comes around you'd probably be too burnt out on parenting, but that's just me.

I'm gonna be 29 soon and I've never had a girlfriend. I'm not depressed or anything but I've been single so long that I just can't find the motivation to stop. It's a weird situation really, I want to become a better me but then I am revolted by the thought of my life suddenly becoming awesome once I work out/get my own place.

It's like Im not gonna have changed as a person I'll just look better and be socially acceptable, so my question is how do I stop myself from blaming girls I haven't met for my past failures? I don't want to resent a girl who just met me and has no idea that I just became Jow Forums
And independent recently. Obviously if it was a girl from my past suddenly finding me acceptable I'd tell her to fuck off, but new girls aren't to blame. Anyone else know this feel? How do I get over it

Over 45 female
Wasted 12 years in marriage to a sociopath.
It’s good to be living alone again.
I have more friends than I’ve ever had in my life.
Wouldn’t want to be in my 20’s again.
Lonely at times but not as lonely as when I was married.
Looking forward to being a grandmother.
Grateful I didn’t let myself get fat.

29 KHV here, i hear that people tell in this board that i need to go out and do atctivities to meet women the problem is that in my 3rd world country people is too busy working and there arent really people arround y age in classes (i took photography, drawing and some movie club but all the people in there were 20 at most and when i tried to talk to them they were really "too young"), my circle of friends is very small and they dont have many friends either (also they dont dat just have casual encounters with women), in the clubs and bars there is only younger people as persons arround my age just do stuff with their friends mostly.

Do you hve any tips on where to find some girls to meet, idk if its a good idea to try at the supermarket, shop, downtown, etc. as i've heard you should try only where people wants to be social.

Any tips??

Also feel free to ask questions to me so you can have more info about me and help me better.

Thanks sincerely

I shouldn't exist.

Any advice?

How do you meet new people being over 40?

How did that happen?
Are you successful?

Thats not bad, society making people feel weird if they are virgin is wrong, you are the only one that has the decision about what you do with your body.

If you feel no guy or boy that you liked gave you attention, try to have the initiative, also if a guy cares about your virginity only its not a worthy person as they should love you for who you are.

29 vrigin here, wish you a happy life sincerely

Socially retarded and every time someone actually shows interest in me I pussy out and back off.

Can relate. Got a possibly terminal chronical illness when I was 20. Had to stay in the hospital for months every other year. 26 years old now and my condition is kinda stable but there is no cure. Might get cancer in the near future if I'm unlucky. The future looks oh so bright....

Well at least somebody has shown interest in you, feeling unattractive and not even having a female look at you is wrecking to my self esteem

>27

I finally have gf, but I'm super bored with her, I don't know how the fuck I ended up with her.

Always shits about something every month, eats a lot making her throw up and being sick all the time, the only thing barely good is she's virgin.

The more I am with her, the more I want to leave her. I don't know how to have patience anymore.

If Jow Forums is to be believed, literally any woman can get attention. Besides, the only attention I get is from people desperate enough to chase down a retarded sperg like myself.

Hmm
Even black men don't hit on you

:´(

Dont say that i believe there is a person for everyone, well at least i hope if not im fucked

I did meet one guy who seemed perfect for me, but he disappeared from my life before I could even have him.

Well i wish you the best sincerely, i have never experienced interest from a girl but i hope one day i will meet someone who i can, i hope you too.

Have a life full of happiness and health, sincerely.

I'm 28 and still virgin.

I always been a shy and insecure person due bullying in my school days.

But, I have had better opportunities to meet a girlfriend in later years.

Sometimes i imagine it is like feeling your heart warm

27, married, employed
how the fuck do people afford houses? We've just recovered from the wedding and student loans and we could drop like a 5% down payment if you burned literally our entire savings. Doesn't help that we live in taxachussetts. Anyone have any experience with house shopping? Shit fucking sucks since we're too poor to drop a full down payment but too well off to qualify for first time owner handouts.

I'm about to turn 26. Never had a a girlfriend. I have no friends. I at least have a good paying job. I'm so lonely.

>society making people feel weird if they are virgin is wrong
LOL, virginity *itself* isn't weird, it's the reason that lead to you being a virgin at a late age which are probably weird.

Same age same problem.
It's complicated to say the least.
But you aren't alone, mate

Clubs, friend.
Lots of cities have them. They're pretty much exclusively late 20s loners.
I joined a beer club and a board game club in my city.
All great people.

Is it possible for a 30 year old neet to start from nothing and get a half-decent job? I don''t care about friends or relationships or any of that shit, I just don't want to be poor

in my third world country there are not any type of clubs like that, most "clubs" are oriented to younger people like ages 16-20

That sucks man.
I guess the only get togethers are machismo saturated football clubs.
Maybe... Start a club?
Maybe that's more than you're willing to do.
But I figure that if you feel this way, you aren't alone.
No one is ever unique in feeling such a way.

Also, alternatively, try going to other fringe groups that you don't really belong to but want the friendship.
Like a metal club.
I know the Balkans love their metal bands

Cancer? I just had a lump partially removed to see if auto immune medications will bring it down. I hope they figure out what’s going on with you.

29 year old dude who is just about to wrap up his degree. Trying to figure out what the best wy to meet girls is as a shut in. Online dating seems hard without proper pictures.
Overall I'm finally starting to be a bit happier about myself tho.

How have you lived to 30 years of age with no experience, education, or training? Like how is that possible?

Not that guy but should I go to a board game meeting today? I'm really nervous about it.

Does it really kick in at 30? I'm 29 right now and I'm so indifferent to kids.

Do it mate
Worst case scenario you waste your time
But you'd have done that anyways right?

Go meet some nerds
Maybe you'll make some friends

The alternative would be to work out and play videogames after work.

I'd gladly accept that
But we both know that you faggot will be doing fucking nothing after work

You know nothing about me, cunt. I'll go to the meet up just to spite you.

Congratulations

Thanks. I just wish I had done so years ago. Seems nearly impossible to break into the dating game at my age.

why am I so horrible at being sociable? Sometimes I go out, like tonight. But when I'm out I realize I'm making social errors left and right constantly and I hate it and I get more and more depressed.

I currently feel like absolute shit after a night out. Should I just quit and give up? I could just focus 100% on my career and stop worrying about people completely. When I do that I seem a lot happier but sometimes I just really wish I was likeable and able to perform adequately in social situations.

Expose yourself. Maybe drink a bit to not be as tense. I have the same issue as in that I always feel like I stand out as the awkward social autist. Which leads to me not talking unless spoken too. Not sure how to get over I but for now I try brute forcing it by getting out of my comfort zone.

Mental illness and alcohol abuse. I have quit everything I ever started.

People will see through that and will know you’re that man who wants to be cool like the guys. The more you explain the worse it sounds.

Turning 26 soon, still no real social experience.
Joined the fencing club but it's filled with older people and no women.
All the people at work are boring introverts and no women.

Where do people go to make friends and girlfriends to then go to the beach with?

30/ female

My life did not go how I thought it would when I finally reached 30. Still living in apartments. I had to quit working my cashier job of 5 years because of Lupus. Now I'm on SSI and I'm only fucking 30. I go to doctors I can't afford even on Medicare every 2 weeks and constantly going into debt because I won't live without them. Why am I doing this? Probably won't live past 45 at this point. Can't have kids, I just learn to settle with things now. This is it. Suck it up buttercup.

The only thing keeping me going is Mmj, so there's that.

>Mmj
What now?

Don't make me laugh.

Medical Marijuana. I'm in Colorado, it's legal to buy now but I've always had a medical card for it

Fucking end me.

How did you manage through those addictions and problems? I hit all of those and I am aware I'm wasting a lot of time doing so.

Hell I get anxious as fuck going to the gym. I know everyone there is focused on themselves, but I'm so self conscious about how little I can actually move.

I feel old and young at the same time.
It's not really frustrating though, but it feels like people either think I act older or younger than my actual age. People actually my age are really hard to talk to.

Hey I have it too and it was worse when younger. Focus on goals and things you can control and not on the thoughts of appearance. It's hard but it helps.

I also take photos when I feep really good and keep the ones I like and look at them later because I then know I can look good in a photo and that when I look at it later it's different then when I first looked at it too critically.

I’m trying to think about my weightlifting progress because it’s been steady and good and I have improved my diet considerably. I avoid mirrors for the most part unless I worked out immediately beforehand. I get a huge wave of shame looking at my face and baldness. I realize it’s stupid. I have a lot of empathy for trans people now because this must be similar to what they feel like every day.

I am sick of this thing called life, I want off this ride.

I cannot hold out much longer, soon to be 32 and an utter complete failure, one you have rarely seen before even on imageboards.
The reason, or maybe I pretend it is the reason, why I am still alive is the fact that my death would shake up things at home for my mother and sister.
I am afraid that it would derail their already fragile life situation.
In reality most probably cowardice is what keeps me alive.

However I cannot continue, I want off this ride, some time soon I will ignore my conscience and my survival instincts, overcome them to freed.
Salvation is near, it's what keeps me sane.
Igor, is that you?

In short, I am going through the following:
>25
>tfw no gf
>tfw losing my friends, and now friendless

I keep working to better myself, I think I have a better understanding of what I want in someone and how to be better around women, but it seems like I always fail to pick the interest of the girls that I'm attracted to.
Honestly, maybe going out more would help, but then I have the following issue.

My friends are drifting appart.
I think some sort of compromise has to be made so we can keep hanging out, but they only ever wanna go watch capeshit to the movies, and even these meet ups are becoming more and more scarce.
I wanna talk to them, share experiences, stories and feels, but nope, we only ever hang out to have a 10 minute chitchat, watch a generic Marvel flick or quirky nerd movie, and then go home our separate ways.

Only two of us have a job (myself included), yet I have to go out of my way to gather them together, because they're all "busy" all the time, although busy is a short word for: their parents don't let them go because they have to run errands, or whatever.

It really brings me down, because I thought this was the one group I could belong to, I never really clicked well with anyone else, but it feels like none of them want to put in the effort to meet up, and being the group gatherer makes me feel like I'm too needy and pushy, not to mention disappointed, when I inevitably start to receive their texts telling me they won't be able to make it.

Writing all this down made me think I should stop trying altogether, but that just leaves me alone.
I guess I'll have to shell out to buy a car and attend activity clubs.

>friendless and lonely forever and ever
>but hate social situations and can't see a way out of this
H-how do I meet people? Is it even possible? Pls advise

Just got ghosted by a girl that gave me her number. Feels pretty bad. She didn't even reply once.

36. No boyfriend. I always assumed I would be a mother one day. I don't want to wait until I'm in my 40's to have a kid. I also don't want to be a single parent. I'm running out of time.

>Be me
>34 years old
>Never spent one day in college (Uni)
>Had sex with 100-150 girls in my 20s (always safe, always careful)
>Settled down - been married for 2 years
>Worked my way up the corporate ladder over the last decade
>Now director level at large publicly traded company

You want my advice? Pick battles you know you can win. Start small, nothing (emphasis) happens overnight.

Most guys need to essentially start from complete scratch in their 20s and focus on the most basic of disciplines. Time management, finances, hygiene, organizational skills, social skills, etc.

I am happy to share more if anyone is interested.

huh?

Colorado actually has a lot of opportunity to move up in the world

Find something to do other than smoke weed

Um, you're a guy right
For men between age 30-60 its easier to get laid

How??? (seriously im curious)

Even if you are a woman you still need to put in some work. Did you not meet any men at all?

I'm now 34, I have my own house, car and a work at home job that pays well, but I never really learned how to interact with women. I used to pay prostitutes from time to time. now I don't know what to to with my life. even if by chance I get a wife I still see myself being miserable. nothing seems to make me happy anymore.

This is so confusing desu

You're a woman and don't have a boyfriend or a kid by now?
Can you actually take a few minutes and explain your life?

marry before 30

Well im 29 , just got heart broken by my ex of 11 yrs 6 months ago. she annulled our marriage to try poly and date around.

Just got my house rented out
Just graduated with my computer programming degree , should get hired in 3 months or less
I've never been more Jow Forums, lost 25lbs since she left, stronger now too.

Last week I took a hot 18yr olds virginity

Everything's coming up milhouse but I still love and miss her. Some days are just fucked and I binge drink and listen to sad music thinking of her. The pain is still there somehow even though im doing everything i can to get past it.

In 4 weeks im gonna see her. We're both in the wedding party for a friends wedding. I'm planning on not drinking or talking to her.

28.

I think my 5 year relationship has ran its course. I just want to get those feelings that you get from someone new. Where everything you learn about them and every new side they show to you is endearing. Where you first realize there might be something between you two. Those escalating feelings where you're riding a high all day knowing you'll see her that night.

Is this selfish as fuck? I feel like I might be getting drawn in by the novelty of someone new. I don't want to be a guy who is just jumping from new partner to new partner. I do at some point want to commit. My girlfriend is sweet and I like her but I just don't want to marry her.

This has just been the third time where I've caught feelings for a new girl who's come around.

Anyone else experience shit like this? How'd it work out?

>32
>Briefly achieved success with my childhood dreams of becoming a musician

I want to fucking kill myself. I can't even look back on my accomplishments with those fuckers without thinking about the bullshit that went down. Will an hero after my mother passes.

30+ years old and have never been able to find success as an artist. Sometimes I get a few dollars here and there, but my art has never gotten popular. I've had to struggle and beg for other people to notice my art. I've even gone so far as to pay them to promote me, like the goddamn loser I am.
Thankfully, I have a non-art job, but I keep spending 3 hours or more a day after work to try and be successful, but it's not working after 15+ years.
I try to keep my emotions and sadness to myself because I was told (when I was sad) that "this is why nobody will ever like you", so now I feel like I am putting up a mask.
Also I wish I had someone to talk to about this, but I have no friends and I really do believe everyone hates me.
People are upset lately over celebrities pulling an hero but they were braver and I am

Turning 27 next week. I am currently in my very first relationship which happens to also be LD. I feel I’m going to have to end our relationship in August after my girlfriend comes and visits me again. I’m not looking forward to breaking her heart. I love her, but it has to happen. This is going to be a really shitty end of the year

I wouldn't describe myself as happy but I'm much happier than I was ten years ago as a kid. But I never saw it working out the way it has either.

26, Married homeowner here, and it depends on the market. I don't know about Taxachussetts but Georgia has a rural loan program that basically removes the down-payment. It extends the loan payment time with higher interest but at the very least we got the house. It's a pain in the ass but you've gotta scour the market for something you can at least get into, even if it's a somewhat shitty area.

sounds like a massive waste of money

Scary shit user, you sound like a decent dude, I'm glad you're still among the upright.
