Should I end a happy and fulfilling LTR because of the fear of missing out at age 22?

VasiliyZaitzev · 2020-09-08T17:48:27+00:00

Here's a radical idea: If you are happy in your LTR, fine. Don't slip in to her Frame and enjoy.

jroseland · 2020-09-08T18:55:25+00:00

I can understand why you might have some fear of missing out...

On this subreddit and elsewhere on the Internet anonymous men brag endlessly about spinning plates.
Your drinking buddies regale you with tall tales of all their are casual hookups.
And of course, Pop Culture is constantly telling you how great casual sex is.

You're thinking...

If I just broke up with my LTR then I could have a harem of sexy girls on rotation worshipping my cock...

Reality check: Casual dating has never been worse for young dudes like you. Whether you meet girls on Tinder or at bars you're going to be astounded at how flakey girls are. Coronavirus lockdowns/social distancing are making it harder and harder to date. Unless you're or extraordinarily good looking or have 10000 Instagram followers you're just going to be another average Joe frustrated that girls are ignoring him.

You should not believe men bragging about their sex lives unless you actually see them up with hot girls.

In all likelihood, breaking up with your LTR will.be a significant downgrade for your sex life.

madfox99 · 2020-09-08T17:00:37+00:00

Missing out on your youth?

Dude. The dating scene is horrible for young 20 year olds unless you are rich or an athlete.

This'll go against the grain of this sub but if you have a hot 18-22 year old girl, stay until she fucks up. Then dump her immediately.

You'll always have access to hot 18-22 year olds if you are successful in your purpose.

Getting career and finances in order needs to be your number one priority in life. Immediately shut down all talk of having kids or getting married. Having access to pussy while on your purpose is a good thing. You'll be able to focus on what's important instead of chasing girls every weekend.

Vegannibba · 2020-09-08T19:48:12+00:00

You are in a relationships with a hot girl who is also solid, and you are in your twenties.

Here's what you are missing out on:

Sex with crazy girls: this includes narcissists, BPD, borderline;
Sex with drunks / drug addicts;
Sex with sluts;
Sex with single mothers;
Sex with strippers / prostitutes;
Sex with girls who just don't quite do it for you;
Sex with ugly girls;
Sex with older women;
Sex with other hot women who may be as good as, but not better than your present LTR, but in a different way, but you won't know that until you actual end things with the LTR;
Sex with younger women, but maybe they're really immature, so you can barely stand them;
Sex with some future version of your GF when you are older.

If anything proves that a kind of hypergamy goes both ways, it's THIS post.

You have basically "won" the game... yet you are not satisfied, because you lack experience. Meaning, since you are young, and you "won" so early, you don't quite appreciate what you have. Maybe if you had gone through years of heartbreak and loneliness you would appreciate it. Maybe if you had gone through thousands of serial rejections you'd appreciate it.

Maybe not. The mind adjusts quickly.

Here's the elephant in the room. What you're REALLY probably worried about is, as you both age, she'll have invested more and more into you, and will have more to lose, and you'll feel INCREDIBLY guilty if you suddenly lose attraction to her as she ages and start stepping out with some young puss. It's not polite to say this, but it's probably factoring into your FOMO.

It's great to sleep with hot women when you are young... but they don't stay hot. More importantly, they don't stay fertile, which is what is really brainwashing you into finding them hot. Your hotness will probably last quite some time. You'll be tempted and approached by women into your fifties and sixties if you take care of yourself and are successful.

This is why a lot of alpha chads are cads in their twenties. They KNOW all of this. They know that if they commit in their twenties, they may get bored in their thirties. So they pump and dump. Then they settle down in their thirties or forties with a woman of THEIR choosing.

So, the next question is, what are you goals? Do you plan to want to start a family soon? With this woman? If not, you should probably let her go sooner rather than later, as her youth is more precious than yours. I mean, if you really care about her, you'll want her to be happy no matter what, so if that means being with you, because it's what you want, then fine. If it means being with another guy of greater or equal value, also fine. She'll probably start pushing for a formalizing of the commitment soon, and if you start hemming and hawing, that could lead to her dumping YOU, unless she's utterly convinced that YOU are the best she can do, which, when hypergamy kicks in, and fear and uncertainty, is doubtful.

But year, you're not really missing anything that great. I've been with more women than I can count or remember, and only a handful of them meant anything, and I still would have preferred to have one good one. What you have is PROBABLY really good, but since you haven't been with all the frog-ladies, you haven't realized it. That's kind of the paradox of having your kind of success: the fly in the ointment is the nagging sense of doubt. However, if you went the other way, you would definitely be more miserable, but then you would be certain that one good one is the best compromise.

Also, another thing: in this day and age, we have "porn," so you can get a taste of what the alternatives are.

Finally, assuming you are super-alpha, and have this kind of clout, you can always open the woman up to threesomes with other women. This could open Pandora's box though.

MrSelfDestructXX · 2020-09-08T17:52:08+00:00

Stay with her. The dating scene is trashed and if you find a girl you can stand or actually care about, hold on to it.

Relationships have an expiration date, don’t throw yours out while it’s still good. Believe me, it will come to an end eventually, no need to speed it up in your situation.

kellykebab · 2020-09-08T19:08:14+00:00

You're not missing much.

My parents got married at 22 and have been together for almost 50 years. They still flirt and get along very well.

Just look for any sign of disloyalty or any red flags and if there aren't too many, just tie the knot.

What I definitely would NOT do is stay in this relationship for another arbitrary amount of years and then dump this poor girl so you can play the field. If you're committed to leaving this relationship in 2 or 3 years and you really don't want to spend the rest of your life with this girl, then dump her now and get on with it.

But my guess is you'll play the field, realize one night stands are empty and eventually get boring, and you'll realize you let the good one get away.

Fucking a bunch of random sluts is not that great. But it's up to you. Either way, better to make your decision sooner rather than later.

ColdBeing · 2020-09-08T19:33:29+00:00

If she doesn't have any red flags and you can see yourself marrying her, then don't screw it up.

The amount of girls that play games is ridiculous. You will deal with getting ghosted, ignored, liars. I've been on like a hundred dates and I'm tired of doing all the same "get to know eachother" bs. Don't ruin what you have because you're thinking with your D, as far as I know, she is probably your unicorn

BestVersionOfMyself_ · 2020-09-08T18:00:31+00:00

The problem is that I am in a very happy relationship

millennials

Noodlesoupe2 · 2020-09-08T17:59:02+00:00

If she’s that good of a person you’re gonna miss her the second you drop her. LTRs are great if you have a good woman bc you have a steady supply of sex that you don’t have go out and look for and most girls out there aren’t worth it. Also with corona your options for finding pussy are limited

His_Hands_Are_Small · 2020-09-08T19:28:58+00:00

If you are worried that you're going to "miss out" on other girls, then quite frankly, you're always going to resent your current girl for it later on in life, may as well end it now.

However, I would also say that you feel like you need to up your N-count, that is an insecurity that you need to work on, and is a very blue pill mindset. Sleeping with lots of different people is like other drugs, it's degenerate, and it's a temporary "feel good" that only really serves as a short term concealer of a bigger internal problem.

askmrcia · 2020-09-08T18:58:06+00:00

You're looking at the grass is always greener. As a guy who was single in most of his 20s you need to prepare for a lot of BS that comes with it.

Unless you have the IT factor, you are not going to get girls to sleep with you with the snap of your fingers. You're going to deal with a lot of flakes, teases, time wasters, girls who will try to put you in a relationship, girls who may suck in bed, clingers, dry spells (these will happen), ect....

I too had a number of different girls throughout my 20s, but I also had to deal with a shit ton of bs. You're going to be constantly on the hunt too. Plates break all the time.

I'm not saying this to say being single sucks because it doesn't. I'm just saying that it's not all sunshine and rainbows.

Now that was my experience in my early to mid 20s. When i turned 28 (I'm now 30)the dating scene became way better.

When you're older you don't chase as much. So a lot of the crap I mentioned above isn't a problem because of the IDGF attitude you will develop. Also you will have way more opportunities to meet better women.

Being single in your late 20s and 30s is way better when you're younger imo. I could be wrong, but all of this is to say that you won't be missing out on shit for being in a good LTR in your early 20s.

ThenIJizzedInMyPants · 2020-09-08T19:59:25+00:00

On the one hand: yes it's awesome to hook up with tonnes of hot chicks

On the other hand: very few men are able to do so consistently, and particularly if you're 22 it's not gonna be that easy unless you're already high status due to athletics or something

you say you have women lined up to fuck you but honestly you should never take pussy for granted because women talk a good game but are super flakey, particularly at your age.

if you're happy in the LTR just stay. and when you're no longer happy or really feel like fucking some new pussy then leave. don't leave because you think it's something you SHOULD do.

2020-09-08T18:20:53+00:00

You're not missing shit, if its all good as you say, do keep enjoying

2020-09-08T18:57:30+00:00

No one can answer this for you. Get a pen and some paper and write down what you want out of life and if your girl lines up with your trajectory and she can help you achieve your goals then keep her on board.

Ive slept with my fare share of women and to be honest you arent missing out on anything. Yea its fun but not so fulfilling.

Standgrounding · 2020-09-08T20:06:02+00:00

It will end on it's own. Just wait.

BlondeHornyElf · 2020-09-08T20:27:47+00:00

i say stay with her but be prepared emotionally for when shit fucks up.

finding a decent young girl right now is harder than ever.

itiswr1tten · 2020-09-08T23:25:42+00:00

VasilyZaitzev and monsieurhire mostly covered it. I covered the MMF/FFM 3some thing in my other reply. As you're thinking about what to do, here are some bullet points:

Immediately dismiss anyone giving advice to do anything based on the "fucked dating market" or "how bad it is out there" or "women are ruined". These losers don't realize they are giving away the biggest loser tell of all - telling you to do something with no frame of reference.
Your concepts of equality and fidelity will exacerbate this "what to do" issue. Make some decisions about that. See my other comment. Getting what you want and changing the rules is FINE. LTRs aren't sacred - you can wake up one day and end it for no reason and so can she. Open Long Term Relationships are a real thing, and that doesn't mean she gets to fuck guys.
If you are who you think you are, and smashing strange just to see if you can do it is haunting you - there's only one way to find out. Go fucking do it.

I will present to you the 3rd option.

You can keep your LTR and solve most of these problems by going out and sneaking some strange pussy.

Here are your options.

Go privately smash that strange, and keep it a secret.
Go smash the strange, and fess up later or get caught.
Try to open up your relationship.
Do nothing.
Break up with LTR prior to smashing strange.

Option 1 is optimal from a sexual strategy perspective. You keep your girl and get what you want. You might go out, cheat, then decide it's whatever and you're not missing shit. You still have your LTR in this scenario.

Option 2 is least optimal - you likely end up with no pussy and your LTR has a free pass to start drama forever because "oh yeah???? Why don't you just GO FUCK SARAH AGAIN" Imagine that in your girl's shrillest voice when you forget to buy toilet paper.

Option 3 is volatile - even if it works, she is banging other dudes, and even a one sided open relationship might breed massive resentment. I have pulled one-side OLTR off multiple times, but my CURRENT one is my best - because she gets off on sharing me.

Option 4 is status quo. You're getting the itch, and it might get worse if you don't do SOMETHING.

Option 5 gives to get. It's suboptimal from a sexual strategy standpoint.

The Key Logger

Some guy who upped his game into smashing primarily models did an experiment. He put a key logger on his fwb's phone, and pulled the results after a few days. Sure enough, she had a pile of orbiters and "friends". All were constantly offering dinner, dates, gifts, and all manner of thinly veiled sexual advances. And she was responding to most of them, some in rotation.

Thinking she was just a hoe, he told himself "wow, this girl sure is bad!" Then he did it to a plate. Same EXACT result.

He finally stopped after 10 girls in a row proved his suspicion right. Now, he was fucking slutty high value women in the big city that were in mid 20's - the point is almost all women of suitable hotness are passively cheating 24/7. You might be surprised what her phone would reveal to you....

The moral of the story is that cheating comes in many forms, and there are some all women are going to be doing to you.

Wise up and realize that physical cheating is what it is - genuine redpilled guys aren't going to judge you on it. We're just going to give you the options so you can decide for yourself.

This is a standup comedian named Patrice who knows what the hell I am about to talk about. It's funny, but also thought provoking. Go listen

mrbill1234 · 2020-09-08T19:57:54+00:00

The only reason they are interested in you is because they see you with your LTR. It is how these females think.

polarizingpotato · 2020-09-08T19:24:16+00:00

My opinion is that you should be as free as a bird.

Being in a serious LTR while you’re still young is not worth it. Time should be spent working on yourself and building your own empire.

What this also means is that since you won’t be dating “exclusively”, you can go and fuck as many bitches as you want.

I don’t know why all the other overdosed redpillers are complaining about the dating scene being fucked, it won’t matter anyways. Why? Because you won’t be dating EXCLUSIVELY/SERIOUSLY.

You let girls know that you’re seeing other girls and save yourself the fuss (no cheating, no hiding anything, no headaches, no nothing). Most guys are too scared to do this due to fear of losing the girl.

Again, let me reiterate to you that this is my own outlook on things. If you think you’ve found yourself an extremely high quality girl, if you honestly think that you’ll end up being with her “for the rest of your life”, then that is your call. At the end of the day, I think most of us will want to be settled down with someone when we’re older and have kids anyways to carry on our legacy.

L2diy · 2020-09-08T19:17:51+00:00

When you say the latest being 25, do you mean that you want to find your wife at 25? If that is the case, you need to be single for some time and fuck around. You need to up your body count and experience the game before settling down. You don’t want to find that partner after only have two other relationships.

catsdontsmile · 2020-09-08T20:04:51+00:00

If you're happy don't break up. Stop fomo'ing and trying to branch jump you aren't a woman

Katzenpower · 2020-09-08T21:01:53+00:00

Have you ever thought that those hot girls you're friends with only want to bang you BECAUSE you're in a ltr? I never got more attention from women than when I was in a relationship with an attractive girl. You'll notice this once you're single- it's ridiculous but it is what it is. I think Patrice O neal was saying that a wedding ring is the biggest chick magnet

Rhyat250 · 2020-09-08T21:02:14+00:00

No. After a while u will get tired of of random wet holes

catz123456 · 2020-09-08T22:55:42+00:00

Classic "grass is greener" moment. If anything right now is the time to hold on to a ltr if u see no red flags.

battmaker · 2020-09-08T22:56:34+00:00

The best thing you can do is to get married. My wife and I are both bummed about waiting so long to get married and getting such a late start on kids.

Kyomeii · 2020-09-08T23:46:41+00:00

You are asking a question that can only be answered by you. You have to make your decisions for yourself.

For me, I can't see myself in a relationship in the near future, but that's because I haven't been able to have a deep enough connection with a woman.

My advice is, if you're happy, keep what you have for now, chasing women is a lot of work that could detract your focus from something actually important, like your studies, career, developing secondary skills, or just enjoying life leisurely. Just don't marry, hold your frame and you'll be fine.

Bear-With-Bit · 2020-09-09T02:59:54+00:00

I say it's the beginning of the end already. When there's doubt, there is no doubt. End the ltr, go on a tear. I think it's crucial for young men to take risks and learn from their mistakes. Not taking risks and not making mistakes --all manageable, that is-- in your 20s will probably make you one-dimensional.

FollowMeKids · 2020-09-09T18:57:30+00:00

Seems like you aren’t truly satisfied or happy with your current relationship. I don’t care if you say you are because if you were, you wouldn’t be having these thoughts. Somewhere in your relationship there are things that are making your subconscious mind want to change. My prediction is that your relationship is bound to end sooner or later because your subconscious, from this point on, will come up with things for you to want to end it.

Roto2esdios · 2020-09-08T19:27:06+00:00

You think like a woman. Don't get me wrong, I don't try to insult you. I congratulate you on your success. It's just that you remained me of all those women in their 30s that complain there are no good men out there but had casual sex with thousands of Chads in their 20s. They want to have BOTH ways so do you. Can you have both ways? You are wired to have sex with multiples women as we all men do. I don't know. It's a very difficult decision.

It's your choice.

thestructuralguy · 2020-09-08T19:52:07+00:00

You are slowly loosing attraction for her. Do what women do. Line up a few girls who can definitely be your plate. Dump your girl next, but remain friends. After you get bored with the plates LTR this one again because she will always be your safe choice. Women do this all the time. Why not you?

garebear19959 · 2020-09-08T21:45:14+00:00

I had the same exact thoughts. Found the girl I’ve always wanted. Accompanies me with all my hobbies. Boxing, running, video games and always ready to suck or fuck. Gave each other’s virginity and so on. Only thing I wish she could do more is just cook.

Basically we both are very happy with each other and I make it clear she’s here to accompany ME and as long as she’s good to me I’ll return the favor twofold.

Here and there I wish I could’ve gotten with that goth girl gf or latina or whenever I used to fantasize about but when I remember of all the wasteful dates with narcissists and parasitic women (a couple women gave me grades on our date) i forgot the realization how fucked the dating scene is for men.

Nergaal · 2020-09-09T00:46:58+00:00

grass is greener on the other side. you might find yourself with no bird if you are trying to give away the one in your hands for the one on the fence.

life036 · 2020-09-09T00:53:31+00:00

The grass will always look greener on the other side, no matter what decision you make.

ZTRP · 2020-09-09T00:59:06+00:00

Hold on

If you're planning on breaking up with her by age 24 or 25 to go mess around You might as well break up with her now

On the other hand, I do not think you should break up with her unless there are legitimate reasons. For instance a clash of values, morals, priorities, her past, etc.

If it is truly a happy relationship, then it is probably a case of "the grass is greener on the other side".

cfbovernfl · 2020-09-09T01:06:57+00:00

No, if your LTR is genuinely happy and fulfilling. I have never had success in that department so I just do FWBs and ONS. I'm 21.

redditme789 · 2020-09-09T02:04:48+00:00

Hey OP, I face a similar situation as you do. Just that in my culture, girls aren’t nearly as forward as you mentioned.

However, as with all things, people always say it’s least risky when you’re young. Part of my reason is that, it’s easier to find another girl now, or soon in the future. It’s better than regretting on your death bed, or end up feeding the fantasy and cheat on her into the marriage and stuff.

My personal hypothesis is that, at some point we’ll be hungry enough to feed our desire. And when that happens, who knows? You may have had a kid, a family. That’s when the risks come and your consequences larger than they are now

Why tf is everyone saying its so hard to find a girl to LTR? Its very easy if your attractive and a good gamer. (if your not fkn get off reddit and hit the fkn gym)

If you were any younger i would say leave but your 22 now...You literally only live ONCE! you CANT get TIME back!

You are a potato and aren't in your peak SMV til 30. You are at some of your lowest SMV at 22. How are you wasting your youth.

spend this time being an interesting person, fostering a fantastic job, being sociable and able to talk to people, and hit the gym hard. Being able to fuck a lot of women isn't the be all and end all. Being the best person you can be who women want to fuck because you are the best is the goal not the fucking. Don't let your lizard brain set what success is.

QueenSlapFight · 2020-09-09T04:47:49+00:00

It's really stupid to waste your youth being stuck in a bad relationship. Some guys waste their time trying to keep something going that honestly is just a bad situation.

That being said, if your situation is really good and you're happy, you aren't missing out on shit. Random sex with random hoes is not all that gratifying. It isn't hard to get women to have sex if you are reasonably attractive and reasonably personable. It's much more enjoyable if you like your partner, and it sounds like you do. So so what? Don't bail unless the relationship is flawed. You can always pull attractive women after 25, or after 35. If you're still into 21 year olds you can successfully pursue them even when you're older (lots of guys here do that). If you're like me and you get a little older, anything under 25 is painfully not fun. But point being is you're not really missing out, and if you find yourself in a situation where your current relationship ends, you can do plenty of things you've been holding off on.

Juanpunchmann · 2020-09-09T05:16:22+00:00

You need to grow up. Stop being so selfish. You're happily in a ltr and you want to finish it just to go and have sex?

axiscontra · 2020-09-09T05:19:48+00:00

The grass is always greenest where you water it. You're not missing out, they are missing out on a good relationship. Sex is overrated. Someone you can rely on is not. She'll probably get comfortable enough to share you exclusively one day, or set up threesomes for you if tyou'rehat good anf you keep her in your frame. she should understand your dillemmas and sacrifices and want to please you.

If it works, keep it.

I found out, that after you turn 30, you can have all those 20-25 year old girls easily and experiment there... And they know a trick or two, the younger ones don't.

Don't rush, you have a LOT of time left... don't be too afraid of it.

Sad_Sleeper · 2020-09-09T09:14:14+00:00

FOMO is a bullshit thing. You are comparing yourself to other people, which is wrong. Compare yourself to your old self. This should be your metric.

FOMO on drugs, or sex, or partying is the dumbest thing ever.

There was a comment by a guy that was in 2 LTR through his 20s, he found TRP at the age of 33 and now(39) he's in the top 10%, fucking women, doing what not.

teatrus · 2020-09-09T09:22:07+00:00

I'm 26 now, and was in the same boat as you are 4 years ago. I decided to stay in the relationship.

Do I regret it? Yes, and no.

I regret it because in the interim I became a little bitch who compromised on his life goals in order to 'keep the relationship' intact, which is something you should never, even under the duress of life threats do. Ironically, it is exactly these compromises made in an effort to 'save the relationship' that cause the relationship to decay.

I don't regret it because it kept my balls empty.

AuberyBitoni · 2020-09-09T10:25:05+00:00

Trust me, I'm 23 and the dating scene is fucked. Your friends/strangers on this sub always exaggerate about the girls they've banged or how how they are.

In reality they're banging 6's with the exceptions of some 8-9's once in a while. But what they don't tell you is the countless of times they got flaked on, trashy girls, sluts, head-aches, games, ...

Keep her, I don't believe in unicorns but you'll have more fun with your current LTR than dating around, the grass is greener..

Yes, absolutely do it. 27 M here and I just did the same thing with my ex of 4 years. Take it from my own experience, if you’re having feelings of “missing out” now, they will only grow stronger the older you get. You will be tempted to cheat and grow frustrated of your current LTR. The only fix is to go out and scratch that itch of “what if.” I’m not guaranteeing you’re going to find any women right away, but you will eventually. You already have a 4 year relationship under your belt. That’s basically a college degree in women, lol. If you got her, you’re gonna for sure get another girl in time. And you’ll also be much happier in the end, trust me. I have 0 regrets.

dump her, fuck around, patch up. too long in an LTR and you'll get domesticated.

My goodness.
Didn't read... Why bother!

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO is sack up and grow a pair and not rely on internet strangers to make a decision for you.

If you love your LTR - then stay in it.
If you want to bang other chicks - then bang other chicks.
If you want to get pegged by a dude - then go get pegged by a dude.

END OF THE DAY... You need to own your decision and make the decision for yourself without any EXTERNAL influences.

Ffs, learn to write and be on point.

Now - Point of life is not a fucking pussy. Hell, they are distractions. Entertaining distractions nevertheless.

But where is the kick?

After fucking for 50 years, what's new when mind gives up?

You need to find that shit, that gives you purpose beyond a wet hole.

Comrades here suggest find your purpose.

Soil shapes around deep roots.

So, to ans your questions:

Do whatever the fuck you want.

Question about purpose than wasting a thought on a pussy.

If you take my word: Just dump the bitch and move on. The thought has arrived, action will follow. Sooner the better.

It seems that everyone is completely dismissing the fact that this guy is a Chad. He is not going to struggle like many of us did/do. Chads will get laid easily pandemic or not. Especially with this guy being 22 with a lot of friends, there's probably a ton of house parties he can go to to get laid.

Now that being said, covid is a thing, please be safe.

If you're happy but feel like you're missing out, ask your girl for some threesomes. Maybe you'll find that casual sex isn't as fun as it seems when you get it all the time. It loses its novelty, just like anything else. But a good LTR? That takes time and a ton of work to build and maintain. It sounds like you have a great thing going already.

experiment now, your dick will thank you later

A happy LTR > spinning a bunch of plates but that's just me

Relationships can be a huge distraction. That would be the main reason not to have one at 22.

murphyA91 · 2020-09-08T23:19:09+00:00

One simple answer. Yes. You owe it to yourself to enjoy what life has to offer. And if ending a LTR is the move do it. She will get over it

Scores_Man_Mund · 2020-09-08T23:25:37+00:00

The short answer is no. Absolutely not. Bro, you have something that a lot of us really wanted, and we turned here because we were bitter that we couldn't find it. It's great to approach happy relationships from the perspective that they're finite, and that AWALT/entropy eventually gets to all of them, but don't worry about that until you stop enjoying it.

Definitely, you will regret being locked down at such a young age
