as the title implies im straight up not having a good time rn and i haven’t been for almost a year

for context im a 22 year old college guy w practically no experience with women and i feel like im only falling further and further behind. growing up i got picked on constantly since i was very little. people would exclude me from activities. girls would always reject me, call me creepy, and tell me straight to my face that i was hideous. i never had more than 2 or 3 friends. long story short, my teen years were nothing short of complete misery and tbh not much has changed.

ive only had one “relationship” if you can even call it that. i approached her at the gym of my university last year. we kissed twice, cuddled a few times, never had sex, and she dumped me for some creepy pedophile twice my age that she met on craigslist 4 months later.

my self esteem has completely nosedived since then and has never really recovered since. i had known about RP for a while, but i decided that i wasnt going to stoop to blaming women so i decided to join this community.

unfortunately i fear that hearing about things like hypergamy, “social-sexual hierarchies”, extreme dating inequality, and the various stats about asian men being the least desirable has really caused a sort of pessimistic cancer to spread throughout my psyche. i think part of the reason RP/BP is so dangerous is bc it plants these seeds of doubt in people in situations similar to mine, which proceed to infect their minds.

im really just tired of being a virgin and at this point i dont care if i need to hire a sex worker bc every year the anxiety gets worse and worse. everyone i know lost their virginity 6-7 years ago and have had numerous relationships/hookups since. being this starved of intimacy and having these physical needs unmet for so long is a pain i wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. ive been using dating apps since forever and i can count the number of matches ive had on my hand. im in great shape and take care of myself very well, but nothing ever seems to work. every year that passes with no dates no sex is logarithmically worse than the last and im getting to the point where the anxiety and depression is so bad, im literally considering seeing a sex worker to save my damn life.

its times when i feel so down and discouraged that the old RP conditioning takes over my mind and tells me “youre just a loser incel who gets no p***y” and shit like that and i think about just how unfair the world is and the RP stories of how 1% of guys get 90% of the girls and every other guy is stuck fighting over “the scraps”, how people of my race are the least attractive, how young men are having less sex but young women arent, how feminism has supposedly caused women’s standards to skyrocket to absurd levels, how we’re returning to polygyny, etc etc. its times like these where i feel completely hopeless and what ppl call “blackpilled”. my friends tell me this is “just the way the world works”.

i don’t want to think like this, but every experience ive had in my life points to this being the truth. ive always adopted the rational mindset of following the evidence where it leads and every fiber of my being is telling me that im ignoring the truth and that i was just unfortunate enough to have been born into circumstances unfavorable to the dating marketplace, born the wrong race with the wrong personality type.

Ive been seeing therapists for years and im still working with one but my appointments are few and far between and my mental health is in freefall rn. sometimes i just want to die so the pain will stop. i cant live another year like this.
