Man, reading this thread is opening up some old cuts. I feel like the ppl here generally boil down to a few types:
1. Those that have natural game and have had little to no trouble w/ getting laid.
2. Those who have trouble getting laid but that's too painful to admit so they pretend like abstinence is their choice.
3. Those who have trouble getting laid but not really cuz they could've done it anytime...
4. Those who have trouble getting laid and flat-out admit it (mcatdestroyer).
5. Those who had trouble getting laid but then pulled themselves up by their bootstraps through luck, effort, or some combination of both.
I myself am between 4 & 5, but I gotta say, the handful of people here who are 1's will never understand just how non-applicable a lot of their "advice" is. They've just never been in the position where you look around and everyone you know is seemingly getting some, at least everyone who "counts"
.
It is like a prison man, and any progress you make will be glacial and volatile--two steps forward one day and one step back the next. All the while, nobody gives a ****, other people who are in your position are either too embarrassed to admit it or just as incapable and frustrated as you are and therefore are of no help, and you have absolutely NO reassurance from ANYONE that things will get better, ever.
mcatdestroyer, I sympathize w/ you bud. I can't promise you it'll get better cuz I don't know, but I extend my hand to you and wish you good luck.
