Dwelling on the past

smokecheck1976 · 2016-05-23T21:52:42+00:00

I had tons of female friends in high school. I didn't fit into any easy stereotype. I was popular but reserved. I was dating a cheerleader. I was also president of the school's chapter of the FCA and a dedicated Christian. People assumed that I wasn't but I was a virgin.

Several of my friend's and classmates discovered their girlfriends or fuck buddies had "surprise pregnancies". Hell, it seems like half the girls in my graduating HS class must have been pregnant when they walked across the stage.

Then I got in the Army. I wound up fucking some chick that came out of basic training two weeks after me and was horny as hell from not being able to get laid for two and a half months. Then I moved on to another that didn't want condoms. My Drill Sergeant overheard me talking about it and called me into his office and told me, "Private Smoke, there are women out there, in the service and just off post who have only one real goal in life, and that is to get knocked up by a soldier because then they have a guaranteed paycheck. Don't be that fucking stupid private."

I took the lesson to heart. Two months later, she was knocked up be somebody else. I saw the pattern play out again and again by myself. I tend to be rather cynical when it comes to women in the military or living near a base.

Some find the right material late in life or early. If you base your life's happiness around fucking or dating women it won't end well.

Well, its not so bad. And 23, you're quite young. Since you're virgin, you can't swallow TRP completely just yet. Pursue hobbies, be attractive, get some game. Unless you've been with few women, you can't know them. It's like looking up a city in Russia or Europe on internet and visiting it in person. Well, u know somethings, but somethings can turn out quite differently. Most importantantly, u get a perspective to see where everyone are coming from here in this sub

You can say that again brother.

I was depressed for years in my bp days. I had an ltr girlfriend who I thought I was gonna.marry. we broke up and I was bitter for a long time. I was also kind of a loser in highschool and thereafter as well.. never had much going for me other than a minimum wage job and a loser group of "friends" who were all wannabe thugs.

Fast forward a few years.. I distanced myself. I am now at a prestigious top tier school and doing pretty well for myself. Working harder than ivr ever worked and am in great physical shape.

Most of my old "friends" are now drug addicts, in and out of jail, and generally just have no future/becoming fat losers. A few of them have kids and just this small town loser mindset where they loathe successful people and think of them as grreedy.

Fuck em. Crabs in a bucket.

It's all about perspective. You dwell on the past, but in a positive manner. Usually we preach that if you dwell on the past, you will be depressed, and if you think too much about the future, you will become anxious, hence, being grounded in the present and being in the moment is the best state of mind to be in.

We all have our reasons for being on this sub, most of which has to do with our past. We can think about our past and consider those things to be bad, all the missed opportunities with women, all the social faux-pas we made, etc. Or, we could use those experiences to build upon a better us and not make the same mistakes again. How you approach it is up to you, and you seem to be approaching it the right way.

Mad props bruh. As someone younger than you and aspiring for something similar to your success, would you mind telling me about that 50k job without college? I'd love to learn about your field because I know there are a lot of them, just hard to find and move up in a short amount of time.

[deleted] · 2016-05-24T06:27:47+00:00

If you base your worth as a man on the opinion of a woman, you are already lost.

We don't love these hoes.

SemenMoustache · 2016-05-24T07:24:33+00:00

On a different note, I wouldn't recommend getting a vasectomy at 23. 23 is too young to be making a such a big life decision.

At 23 I was very against having children, I'm only 26 now and have already come round to the idea a bit more. I think when you're younger you only see children coming round as a mistake, when you're older and friends start to have them by choice then you see them differently.

I'd at least wait until you're 30 before making that decision, I'm sure you can handle condoms for another handful of years.

It's impossible to say whether or not having sex in high school would have made your life better or worse.

Maybe you knock up a girl or maybe having sex frees you up to think about other things than losing the v, greatly expanding your interests.

Regardless, it sounds like you had a feeling of regret for a few years after highschool. So at the very least you can say those years of your life would have been different. You might even have felt the way you feel now, years ago.

Do you think that losing your virginity improved your outlook on life?

What experiences of highschool weren't a waste and why?

Do you think you would be at TRP if not for your highschool experiences?

Can you envision a life where you lost your v in highschool/what is it?

The present always trumps the past, for good or worse.

I remember a spall parable I read here which illustrated that judging an event as good or bad before you see the consequences of the event is basically guesstimation.

Found it!

There is a Taoist story of an old farmer who had worked his crops for many years. One day his horse ran away. Upon hearing the news, his neighbors came to visit. "Such bad luck," they said sympathetically. "Maybe," the farmer replied.

The next morning the horse returned, bringing with it three other wild horses. "How wonderful," the neighbors exclaimed. "Maybe," replied the old man.

The following day, his son tried to ride one of the untamed horses, was thrown, and broke his leg. The neighbors again came to offer their sympathy on his misfortune. "Maybe," answered the farmer.

The day after, military officials came to the village to draft young men into the army. Seeing that the son's leg was broken, they passed him by. The neighbors congratulated the farmer on how well things had turned out. "Maybe," said the farmer.

Truly, if some of us had the success we desired to have, but with a blue pill mentality, right now we might have been in a much worse place than where we are right now. You can't tell where things will ultimately lead, all you need is a moment by moment pragmatic approach, that will eventually build up confidence on your future. And TRP is a very great step in that, because you go from "I can't fuck for shit" to "I fuck so much I don't give a shit anymore".

OP IS A FLAMING FAGGOT LIAR / ATTENTION WHORE.

Bro, in your comments history, you say you live with your sister and her husband. Not sure if I buy your story that you own your own home and three vehicles.

Heres a nice quote from your comments history that proves your full of shit you faggot:

Buddy hooked me up with an HB7 a couple weeks ago. She stayed the night the first date and we fucked on the second. Finally lost my virginity. She drives 2 hours once a week to come suck my dick now.

Yup.

Also, dude your a virgin. I would wait until you get laid at least a couple times before and have an actual relationship with women before cutting the chord. The fact that you can't get laid means there's a lot of room for self improvement before judging on others. Quit going to the internet for validation you bitch.

PantsonFire1234 · 2016-05-24T03:20:23+00:00

First time I fucked I was 19, got unlucky heaps of times but I also sucked despite being popular at school. Some guys I knew in high school also sucked but ended up with a girlfriend regardless. Others I knew weren't popular at all but ended up fucking chicks anyhow.

This one guy I knew got laid way more than he should. He was lucky at the time, he matured quickly- this attracted the girls. I matured very slowly, I never expected to fuck allot of girls in my life.

Ironically this guy that matured so fast ended up real fucking short. He had allot of expectations about himself, he thought he'd become a womanizer. Almost every girl is taller than him nowadays. He became bitter and a low energy beta. Gets zero girls.

On the other hand, I kept on growing. Girls started noticing me quickly, I was already socially apt. Because I never formed any expectations about fucking women things started rolling naturally- no pressure. Nowadays I've got more lays and fucked hotter girls than most of these high school mates.

The point I'm trying to make is that the past is the past. Some we're great back in the day and suck now. Some are great now and sucked back in the day. Find the positive and you will roll.

PIGamer86 · 2016-05-24T00:17:43+00:00

You can't move forward while looking backwards.

Luckyluke23 · 2016-05-24T00:26:24+00:00

50k gets you a house a 3 cards? dam son what country is that?

KartagoPill · 2016-05-24T07:59:23+00:00

I'm virgin 21 years old. I feel shame, but I know this isn't end of the world. Gonna move out look for job outside my country.

Stythe · 2016-05-24T14:29:34+00:00

If you work for it you understand and appreciate it, but I'm the tradoff is that it takes time to get it. Most people who don't have it naturally spend too much time trying to make up for wasted time. That essentially is the same as not moving on. It keeps you stagnant.

mirlalt · 2016-05-24T18:49:10+00:00

Well if it came naturally to you you might have a prego wife by now.

... that's not true at all. It's male hamstering.

It's to make you feel better for not having gotten laid earlier in life.

DoctorNation · 2016-05-23T21:32:09+00:00

Whatever you need to cope with your shitty high school experiences OP.

Cars, homes, etc do not replace memories.

penguin_party24 · 2016-05-23T22:12:25+00:00

Or you might not have a prego girlfriend? Just because it happened to him doesn't mean it would have to you.

[deleted] · 2016-05-23T22:39:31+00:00

Being virgin not so bad cause some guys were like knocked down pilots. They were having leadership qualities and then boom. Stuck in the shit. This is not 'nice guys finished last' sentence for sure. I found out that there are basically two types of guys who start sexual life later in life: 1) Those who were interested in something plus socially awkward 2) Fucking nerdy loosers.

Type 1 will grow with skills and background. Late 'adulthood' will save him from being sucked into marriage or the dating carousel. Type 2 will grow to be an Omega male.

It just plain statistics nowadays early boomer fail too early - they don't have intelligence and experience for not getting into traps. So-called 'high-school loosers' (I'd suggest its self-perceiving) can: 1. learn from their early-leading comrades. 2. learn a lot from other sources. life is a minefield now so experience matters.
