I hugged a girl today

should i start jelqing?

26 here. Got married at 22 like a complete idiot and in the middle of a divorce. Let this year be the ultimate transformation.

25 and still going strong. Semen retention is a beautiful thing.

Were you a chronic daily fapper before?
What benefits have you gotten from srmen retention?

23 here. It took a while and I’ve had major bumps but I’m finally getting things right.

24 here and getting scared

Can feel my youth slipping through my palm AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

28 reporting in, not really mid-twenties anymore, haven't made it yet.

Wage cage job.
Broke up with my fiancee last year.
Getting nervous about hair and teeth (drank buckets of sugary rubbish as a teenager).
Been totally miserable for the first four months of 2019.
At least I've started to make real gains for the first time in my life.

We're all gonna make it, r-right?

27 here,. Preparing myself to be a solid mofo in my 30s. Past years of being at the bottom taught me valuable lessons, hope everyone doing good.

s-shut up, ok?

Fair comment.

Mostly it's the breakup though, I thought I'd found her, but she was way over her head in debt and I don't make anywhere near enough to rescue her. Shit sucks man.

>semen retentaion
Is it not the same as no fap?

Yeah I was in that pretty bad over the years. After about a month or two my voice got lower, I have way more energy than before. I'm more in tune with my body, and it's gotten to the point where even if thoughts like that come oh, I have learned to just let them go. Additionally it's become really easy to build muscle and recuperate.

Semen retention means literally no ejaculation. Wasting time for degeneracy only brings you down.

articles say about having orgasm without ejaculation. Never had that before.
Maybe it is impossible to have it for someone without ejaculation.

I got no problem with nofap, but semen retention seems impossible for me, since I always get bi-weekly wet dreams. I need to find a way to get rid of that, I feel really shitty and weak afterwards.

27 and doing the same... two kids from a 3.5 year relationship. No woman will ever want me with this kind of baggage, I used to work as a fitness model, now I’m a programmer and my body looks like shit (still better than joe average).

Hence why I started lifting 4 times a week. I have a new job, just need to move closer to it so I'm not driving 2 hours a day and can be in a city where I can hopefully meet people. Anybody gone from 0 friends to having them at this point in life? How? Tinder seems like a bad shout seeing as I'm like a 6 and have ni pictures of myself at all.

he's 23 now senpai

I feel for you mang. I got married at 25 and just now realizing just how much of a loser she is.
Women vary so much and want so many different things. Go on Bumble and tinder and see how many single moms are on there. You're improving yourself and that's all they see, pretty much

I've jumped out of uni, would need an another 3,5 years to the already wasted 2 and I had no money to do so. Got a job in a multi, climbing the ladder since ( successfully). Has opportunity to go to 3 other department, Udemy is free and I paid back my lmao 1400$ debt ( eastern europe).

I made the best decision I could.

Whoops. Disregard that, i suck cocks

Mid 20s is nothing but a peanut, my bro's. You'll hit your stride at some point in your late 20s, or even your 30s. If you don't find something meaningful by your 30s Idk what to say.. Confidence builds and gains momentum.
You're transitioning from a careless college kid to an adult right now and you will feel inadequate. Keep on working towards your goals but don't neglect socializing. People will notice your hard work and will talk about you positively if you're competent. Gawd bless.

Socialize. Turn your hobbies into socializing hobbies or get new hobbies.
guitar -> get in a band
drawing -> take group classes, or try exposing or something
It's time to stop living like a teenager doing things by himself in his room

I will be 27 in October
I had a degree from local Med Uni in my country
I am not really fat. Just an average with no belly but also no muscles
The only job I had was trying to be a car seller for 5 days last year. Made me realized how much I actually hate to interact with people.
I have my driver license for 4 years but waht's the point if I don't have a car and no practice?
Also a virgin.

Honestly you are not so bad. Even though my achievements could be considered better in the end we are on the same spot.
Don't let it make you feel down user.

30 and /fit. Reminder what whoever shills no fap is most likely coping cuz he cant get pussy

im just glad im not in any debt and no kids, clean criminal record, could be so much worse

28 here starting lifting last year after being a skelly all my life. I think I'm gonna make it
Got a decent job I enjoy and a qt gf of 6 years who I love. Thinking about having kids in the next year or two but I want to be a bit further in my career and make more gains first

The great question, settle down soon or continue fucking around into my mid 30s?

>never got the chance to be Jow Forums and enjoy a load of dirty thots

Same. I wish I started lifting at like 16 instead of 23

24
Just started my first adult job after college making 50k starting. Job is so fucking easy but it doesn't fulfill me. Saving up currently to buy first house to start renting out and slowly building my net worth. I'm bad at dieting but still fittest I've ever been. Just not as lean as I'd like.

6'2 185 probably 15% bf or so ugh.
But I can't complain I'm pretty normie tier. Just impatient

24 @ currently 35 partners. I think you eventually stop caring to fuck in all honesty. I actually just stopped caring about women all together unless I'm drunk

Let me tell you straight up I was not ready to be personally attacked today

brb going to the gym

...

It's not like porn. Porn gets all the good cuts, they don't show you the awkward maneuvering and boring bits.
The reality is that you only have one penis and one brain. Unless you're an advanced multi-sexer, you cannot pay sufficient attention to two women at once. One of them is going to get less-than-your-best.
>But why can't the women get eachother off while you fuck one
Have you ever laid down a good dicking? Women are functionally braindead when they're being fucked right. Yes, they can engage in all the sub-conscious behaviors like kissing, clawing, and hip-mobility, but they won't have the presence of mind required to fingerbang/eat out their friend.
In a FFM, one F is going to be bored most of the time.

MMF is theoretically different, as women have multiple holes (as opposed to men, who have one penis). Men also don't become retarded mid-intercourse the way women do.
But MMF is within spitting distance of homosex, so be careful.

I'm working on that, as per my post. We design, build and repair audio equipment, which is good work - it's just shit money

You're holding down a job and you're starting to get fit. Now learn to drive, continue progression within that job, meet new people along the way and have a few more girlfriends.

It isn't that deep. Whilst you're doing the above you can take the spare time to understand what motivates you and focus can then be put on that too.

What else can I do to delay the wall as much as possible ?

Attached: emily-ratajkowski-robe-800x800.jpg (800x800, 85K)

i turn 30 in july. i'm about 18 pounds overweight. my hair line is shit but it hasn't moved in like 10 years so i guess that's good. i look young for my age, most people guess i'm 24. but my body is shit.

it's not a good feeling.

If you still look good at 27 you have already dodged a few walls. My advice would be stay the fuck out of the sun and avoid alcohol. I'm in Florida and half the 25 year old roasties I see on tinder look 40 because they spent their youth doing a never ending spring break

>delaying the wall
If you're not pregnant by 30, you've objectively failed.
Men do not have complicated standards. There is
>would not fuck
>would fuck, but not marry
>would marry
Being childless at 30 indicates that you belong in category 2, if you stay attractive, but it's a "soft" wall at best.

proper diet, giving birth, exercise, avoiding excess (alcohol, sun etc.) things like that to keep your endocrine system balanced as your hormones play a key role in aging.

That's actually helpful. I really am over complicating things.

Thanks user!

We're all gunna make it brah

Been sick for 2 weeks and missing exercise, finally getting better.
Working a lot more, going up in my career. Fitness is good.
Mental state is a lot better, working to meet people.
Life going well, just trying to meet a girl I like a lot.

27, norwood 2 and increasing, I didn't have much sex yet but I want to fuck thots

25 here. No friends, never had a gf, never had any love or affection, live completely alone with almost no human contact because no job, even thiugh I have a Master's degree in Business.

>Pathetic
>Earning money and sleeping with women
whew lad

Assuming you view this as a negative go get a job and face the world, you're putting yourself in this position. Assuming you view this as a positive, fair enough.

>27
>qt coworker is 24 and basically perfect
>she's marrying a 30 year old chad soon

At least I know its not too late if I can sort my shit out

Doing it isn't pathetic. Every functioning adult puts bread on the table and is sexually active. Making it the first thing you say when you're asked how your life is going is extremely pathetic

I'm trying to find work. Applied for hundreds of entry-level jobs since September but no luck. Fucking sucks.

If you're a functioning adult who earns money and is sexually active, I'm jealous as fuck and so are probably 90% of people here

>t. dicklet

That's why you should never try. Do you have autism and misread the situation? That's the kind of thing I'm most scared of

28, soon to be 29 here.

Left gf of 2 years, and a close friend for previous 4 two months ago, still can't get over it. She's kinda troubled, a bit depressed, a bit autistic. There was little affection and even less sex for the last 8 months or so, she can also be quite rude. She felt that I was getting distant and asked me not to leave her couple of times. I still feel that haven't done everything I could to make things work and it's eating me up along with the nagging fear that I'll never know anyone that close ever again.

On the other hand I'm going into a masters program in the field I'm very interested in this year, I'm pretty well off financially and I'm making good progress with sports, so I feel like my best years are still ahead of me, when I don't think about the social aspect of it all.

this is a kike post. try again , there is no success without failure, find a different girl a fresh one

I was scared too,but I tought I read the situation well.
Turns out no,fuckkkkk.

I know you have to try to find out,but I would be happier just not knowing

PATHETIC

This is bait. Most women will kiss you even if they aren't interested. You aren't ugly, are you user?

I was kidding about not trying, I promise I'm not a kike

Just start asking girls out on dates like an adult, that way you can avoid awkward situations like this

Trust me lads it wouldn't have made a difference. I started lifting at 17 and had a body far better than anyone I ever came across for the full 3 years I was at uni, still remained a gf-less virgin.

How do you meet new people? I have 0 friends. I tried looking at meetup.com but they're all like 45 year olds and stuff and I'm early 20s. Feels like everybody my age has friends so makes friends through friends but I have none.

ive taken a loan to buy my own place, i have also taken a risk and gotten a new job with stable hours and better pay however it is a summer job with no guarantee i will be allowed to stay after, altough it is a factory job where they always need workers. The alternative is going back to working at mcdonalds. Other than that im just focused on making gains, trying to score and spending my free time with my dog, playing games or relaxing.
I plan to go on a world trip to experience the world before settling down and studying to become a industrial technician for the dairy sector.
22 year old btw.

My first ever relationship ended 4 months ago (relationship was 4 months too) I've tried to have sex 2 times since then. Both times i'm struggling to get/stay hard.

I'm not sure if its a fear of sexual intamacy, performance anxiety, emotional feelings due to inexperience, or if im not attracted to my partners.

I tend to settle so my partners are 5/10's at best, but it just seems like anybody could be able to at least fuck a 5/10 and i just cant stay hard. Broken dick at 23 lol

You’ll be fine as soon as the divorce is settled

been in a similar situation: broke up with gf of 5 years, moved to another town where I didn't know anyone
Lucky thing was, it is a quite huge city, so if you're not a totally autistic you can meet new ppl easily
Moved here 2 years ago, now I have good friends, had a few gfs since

Do you like the girls at all? Forcing yourself to fuck annoying or just boring girls you’re not into is the easiest way to make a healthy dick suddenly not work. Just because some people can separate sex from anything deeper doesn’t mean you can or should.

Pls

If you’re already doubting it that hard then you had better just nip it in the bud before you spend your ENTIRE 20’s slowing growing to hate life. 18 year olds should not marry they are just children with higher hormone levels.
