This is a pathetic post and I am aware of it. Observe the futile effort of a man as he runs around his cage wheel. Let's just go through the checkboxes real quick:

  • I'm 25 years old making $72,500 a year as an engineer.

  • I lift heavy weights three days a week and have been doing so for many years.

  • I keep my appearance in check.

  • I have hobbies. I play piano. I go mountain biking. I go hiking.

  • I donate $1,000 to GiveWell every year.

  • Average height; 5 foot 10.

I don't like being dishonest or manipulative, so I don't play those stupid fucking childish PUA games. I don't spend my money on superfluous shit that doesn't improve my life.

I try to ask women out, and I get looked at like I'm a fucking needy, creepy, pathetic, cringe-worthy loser. What the fuck is this shit? What else would I have to do to NOT be considered a creep? What kind of SHIT game is this? Fucking hell. You can never be good enough.

Here's what I realize: back when I was in college being a completely dumb cunt, being dishonest, being confident because of ignorance, that's when I got laid. This is so depressing.
