I feel absolutely lost in life. All I do is work and go to the gym. I'm on the path to getting my "dream job," but even though I'll make a lot of money the idea is feeling less and less fulfilling as of late. The only thing that would seem to make me happy would be a meaningful relationship with someone, but I've never had a girlfriend and I'm still a kissless virgin. I'm incredibly insecure about my looks and lifting has only exacerbated that. My life seems so empty and meaningless. I need advice on how to turn things around.

I feel that user. I'm stagnant too.

Try to get some IRL friends. A gf is good but no replacement for having a squad of bros to hang out with. Its good to have some friends that share a common interest that you can compete with or work together towards.

Dude that sounds rough, despite what social media will tell you more people are lonely romantically than you'd think and I can relate to feeling incredibly lonely as of late.
When it comes to girls, perhaps some work with hygiene (hydrate, exfoliate, moisturize) and dressing well will help your chances, but more importantly finding more "social" hobbies will make you a more socially competent person that can make great conversation and make her laugh. The right haircut and facial hair will help maximize your attractiveness in ways that lifting cannot.
Best of luck my dude, I hope you climb out of your dark place in life.

Go to a bar and just go there every Friday or Saturday. Just once a week is all you need. Have a beer or two and peoplewatch. If you see a girl that seems interesting, go up to her and try making petty conversation.
If you see a dude that you can imagine as a friend, introduce yourself with a firm handshake and talk about things you find to have in common.
Mason Flores
take up a hobby, try something new, acquire some goals. There is no such thing as saving time but you can surely waste it.
Julian Young
take the job
it'll bring loads of opportunities
other than that, lifting is more than enough purpose

So you're a simp who thinks the modern woman will complete you. Get fucking real. DESU, you won't even need to be pretty. Just flash them some of that cash and they'll bang you. Then you'll develop feelings, get used, get jaded, start hating women, then finally realize women don't take anything from you except what you give them - in this case your validation. You don't even know what empty is. My advice? Stop being a sad cunt.

Walk around shirtless around the hood, female crackheads will try to flirt with you and then you will realize that there is somebody out there for you (just not them lol )

Thanks for the advice. My hygiene and clothing are probably not the problem. It's more that I'm socially inept.

Relax. OP needs hope. He is not ready for these truths. Let him be hopeful that a good woman will complete him.

Rich user here.
Jobs and money are fickle and gay. Let's work hard for numbers on a screen! That's a great measurement of self worth and value to society and other humans.
Gaaaaaaaaaay.
I don't even work anymore, and I only started making my money when I realised it was just a wank. A necessary wank, but a wank that's no where near as valuable as we all grade it.
Things come easy when you don't focus on it. Things come entirely when you focus your whole life on it.
As for girls I've got a gf now that is the best thing that's happened to me.
I met her when I really didn't want a relationship and neither did she.
We have almost no common interests, she hates the music I like, and isn't interested in powerlifting, but we get along like nothing I've ever seen before, we both constantly laugh, and she makes me happy like I never expected.
Work on yourself, and work on your passions user.
Money, the right girl, a feeling of success. You'll earn them all when you're ready and deserving.
It's a shit journey, and a timely one. Mine took just over 4 years.
But here I am.
On top of the world.

Caleb Gomez
This user has got it. You shouldn't expect a girl to always complete you, but it is possible for that to happen. It also depends on how you and your lady interact, and on your own personality. Some guys just can't be happy. Others are so desperate that they suffer the same fate. Don't fall for the incel rage.
Like many people here you're just inexperienced. Get a job or something that forces you to interact with people.

user, read Models and the Subtle Art by Mark Manson. I can't express in words how much these books helped me overcome all kind of confidence issues. I'm still pretty average looking (or below average, who knows, who cares) but since three weeks ago I started playing the dating game again and I scored 6 phone numbers, multiple dates and a ONS.

Look into oriental philosophy, read up about eastern philosphic concepts on attachment and fulfillment. You dont need to go to church and you dont nees jesus.

IRL friends sometimes make it worse for me. I love my best friend and have never met anyone I've clicked with as much but I sometimes get so insanely jealous and competitive of his successes. It gives me anxiety when I feel he is doing "better" than me. I hate it and hate I am this way.

i'm in the same spot. my days consist only of waking up, going to the gym, going to work, and going to bed. i managed to get a girlfriend and thats helped a ton, especially since shes super chill and patient with me. going to church has helped a lot too, although my friends are distant with me because theyre anti-religion for the sake of being edgy.
so see if religion helps, and try to find a mellow girl you can ride life out with. slow and steady man, slow and steady.
