My two cents: 1) no sex is better than bad sex 2) Sex seems like a bigger deal when you’re not having much of it 3) sex doesn’t fix your problems, it just gratifies the ego temporarily

no sex is better than bad sex
I didn’t learn that until I found myself fucking girls that I just couldn’t wait for it to end.
I’d rather fuck off back home than do that ever again.

This, bro, this exactly. I literally just went through this. Bad sex I’m just waiting for it to be over. Didn’t even cum, I just picked my shit up at 4 in the morning and left. Why didn’t I leave earlier because of point 2. I wasn’t getting enough sex. Prioritize yourself.

Very very true on all points

it’s fun for a while but gets boring and time consuming. It’s better to work on yourself and put time in relationships that you think can go somewhere

What’s about heartbreak, developing neediness, etc
[–]Hurtlock3r 47 points48 points49 points 4 years ago* (6 children) | Copy Link
heartbreak is part of life. Every-time it happens, process the feelings and you’ll come out a better person. Neediness goes away once you’re fully comfortable with the person you are. At the end of the day, do what makes you happy.

It's whatever you make of it, a lot of guys can get deep into it and become totally numb from basically indulging in sex addiction and having less and less of a genuine connection over time. If you really love women and you can continue to do so in spite of rejection and heart break you will have no regrets, but if you end up sleeping with a bunch of people you don't like or care about you will lose your self-respect. Whether it's a one night stand or a long term romantic relationship you should always seek to leave the person better off than you found them and want them to have a good time.

How to be fully comfortable with myself? How to be comfortable with short, skinny, fat, your body image? Your self worth? And I'm not asking how to fake it but truly being comfortable with it.
[–]Hurtlock3r 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Becoming comfortable with yourself is a timely process, nonetheless it’s one of the most important aspects to living a happy life. Identify the issues you may have and start applying new ways to help you gain confidence in those areas. Not happy with your weight? Start eating healthy, exercise, drink lots of water. Self worth is a little lower than usual? Take on hobbies that make you happy and add value to your life.
Set goals and start chipping away. Take your time and have realistic exceptions, no problem will be solved overnight. If you want to feel better about yourself you’ll need to invest time. Life is about stepping out of your comfort zone and doing things that make you uncomfortable! trust me it will teach you a lot about yourself! Best of luck, have fun with it and i wish you the best :)
[–]ajayt365 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah I'm skinny and short. I'm learning to he comfortable with it. Accept it. And improve.

You’re not missing out on much let me list the pros and cons and you can make the decision based on your own views.
Pros:
sex is reaffirming for your ego
sex feels good (had to put that there)
the power you feel having courted a girl or some drunk thot at the bar is an ego boost
you build social skills by putting yourself out there (although I know weird ig/Facebook dm man whores who are anti social irl)
you have cool stories to tell your friends for years to come
Cons:
sex is usually trash I’m of the opinion that good sex takes time to build with somebody not just banging any random thot
if you’re an idiot like me and forget to wear protection it’s the scariest moments of your life for the next two weeks
stds aren’t fun but are relatively easily taken care of.. but still.
being that guy for so long you build your identity around being a player and it’s hard to let go of later on in life
when you are in that game so long you’re a slave to lust and it becomes a trap. Like any other master it can end up controlling you and getting you into so many fucked up situations lol
you can spend that time partying and drinking doing something productive and not getting fat off of alcohol
I’m missing so much because I’m kinda tired but the main point is this: you’re not missing out on that much there’s much more Better things to focus on. Like sure focus on bein attracive but not because you wanna get laid but because it usually leads toward a better life and achieving your dreams.
[–]lana_del_reymysterio 10 points11 points12 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Agree with your list but I have to ask, how tf do you forget do wear protection?
You either consciously do or don't.
[–]wayoflifeforme 14 points15 points16 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah I was a dumbass. Allot of sex I had was drunk. Also sometimes you don’t wanna “delay the moment” by putting on a rubber and mostly I just found that I never had one on me because I never expected to take anybody home it was always impromptu.
Anyway I look back at how stupid that was and it probably only applies to a small percentage of man whores.
[–][deleted] 22 points23 points24 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah ONS or FWB can be a lot of fun. But the best sex is with a long term partner with whom you have great communication with regarding sex/intimacy. Sooo much better/satisfying than ONS.
[–]PondScum420 12 points13 points14 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That part about building your identity around being a player is so true. I’m thirty now and having a bit of an identity crisis since I’m not whoring like I used to.
[–]anoyingprophet 9 points10 points11 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s really a nice self esteem boost the first time you realize you’re attractive enough to juggle a few girls at once. But after a point, it’s just overwhelming. You realize you’d rather have one meaningful connection and even start to miss the days when you didn’t care about getting laid entirely. I’m actually burnt out from this stuff rn. The second half of 2021 I was dating new girls all the time. I went from a guy who had only been in a couple relationships in the past 6 yrs, to a guy that had a 4 girl rotation and was on all apps apps and cold approaching at the same time. I started to miss the days where all I did with my free time was hit the gym and watching movies past midnight. But I believe this isn’t the case for everyone. I know guys that have to have a rotation of girls if they’re single. Some of my friends can’t go without getting laid for 2 weeks. I now know that’s not me, but I do believe that every man needs to at some point in his life have a hoe phase. For me it was 24-25 yrs old. I’m not turning 26 in a month and really just wanna find myself. If I run into some cool girls on the way that’s a bonus, but it’s not something I care for if that doesn’t even happen.

It really depends on what you are looking for. If you aren’t in the head space or don’t want a monogamous relationship then yeah being a manwhore is a lot of fun as long as your partners understand that is what this is about. If you are a serial monogamist and like the connection of being in a committed relationship then you aren’t missing out on anything

Depends on your interests. It's not for me, but I also dont like football. Some people love football and being a fuckboi, all good. Follow your passion
[–]Lord_Augastus 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
For me it isnt, at some point, I became bored of just doing the same things to different girls, hit and miss, i leave unsatisfied, throughts start trailing of during sex, feelings become less than fulfilling. Many women just expect me to give it my all, but they are content to just lie there. Chats, jokes, mid sex transitions become just by the numbers. Sometimes I meet a good lay, but far and few in between it was just being undervalued as a person, physicality became the compliment goto by the girls as they dont/cant know the deeper person so conversations feel more like small talk rather than sharing and caring.
So I quit, deleted the apps, started choosing to talk tl girls based on personality over looks, and eventually found someone that i consider dating. Point is, the game helped me play my cards right with the one i liked, the rest were just steps there. I got bored, its not what it is cracked out to be. But then again, its like wanting something you cant have, the allure of the unattained is better than having something and not appriciating it. Grow as self, go after what you want, dont hide behind masks to get the things you cant have, you can do it without.

If you’re taking all of the women out for a date before you DDO (drop d*ck off) it gets expensive.. But def take the time to curate a all-star worthy starting 5 roster for a little bit to confirm yourself that you don’t like it. In the process of cutting them all off except the one I actually like because I realized it’s not my style.
[–]AngeloMacon 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
If it was a binary choice between being lonely virgin, then it's awesome. But most get bored or burned out quickly. Something in the middle is preferable after you sowed the oats so to speak.
[–]phinkz2 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
you don't seem to have bad intentions, and my opinion may be completely wrong, but I feel like this is objectifying women a little bit.
from my experience men that call them themselves players or talk about body count are looking for self validation, and tend to be on the manipulative side. I know that I would have a very bad first impression of someone if one of the first things I learn about them is that they are a "player" (or the word equivalent in my language or yours).

Imagine paying for hookers, probably not going to be splendid
Now think about if u had the most attractive girl in ur school, not only based on looks ( but definitely a 9) , personality, status, potential. A girl any guy in the school would do anything to have. The perfect girl, and the only person she can think about is you, all she wants is you, you’re so good looking, so charming, ur all she thinks about, u blow her back out for a couple weeks, then u move on to the next perfect girl, who inevitably only wants you.
It’s for people with no real self worth, it’s hurtful, it’s weird to even be like that in the first place, it’s someone who’s emotionally traumatized, literally sociopaths.
I’m not like that but one of my best friends had a hit list 200+ by the time he got out college and all were drop dead gorgeous girls I asked him once “ how do you do itJordan ?” And he said “ it’s easy really, just manipulate them, they’re just girls “ and I thought yep, that’s not who I wanna be 😂 bro wtf? There’s no dignity in that, it’s literally pathetic
Best thing to do is find that girl u connect with deep down and have all the great sex u could imagine all the time.
Remember being a kid, wanting to be able to drive ur own car, say cuss words, “ imma smoke cigarettes “ and then u grow up and ur like man this shits lame asf
Same thing, I’m sure it’s great, he loves it’s, personally I’ll pass that guy banged his cousin once anyway, before he knew but still
[–]ppl_n_r_neighborhood 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That really depends on what kind of relationship you need. My husband is more of a demisexual person, meaning he needs a relationship with someone to feel comfortable having sex with them. I don’t need a relationship to feel sexual attraction/engage in sex, but it feels better when I do have one. For him, having sex with someone he doesn’t care about/know well would be worse than not having it at all.
So that’s all relative, and you don’t need to worry about where you fit with someone else’s standards. Just figure out what types of relationships you like, and do that. Safely. With condoms lol.

The happiest people I know had terrible luck with women, were not amazingly hot and never notched up many notches on their bedpost, yet one day met one person who also wasn't that hot but they liked each other, and that was that.
I've had over 20 sexual partners over all types, but now I'm 42 and lonely and nobody is left.
You're not missing out.
[–]bittr_n_swt 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah it’s fun for a short while, but it is time consuming and some girls won’t always do what you like. A bit of performance anxiety can also creep in
I much prefer having a gf now that I’m older but less than 25? No need to commit so early
[–]Sardrakal 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
0/10 would not bang again
[–]Live-Ad-6309 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It has its advantages. But it ultimately depends on your personality.
You get to explore your taste, and experiment. So you know exactly what you like and what works for you when you decide to settle down
You end up with a better selection of women to choose from because of social proof and having refined game.
You don't have to jack off.
You don't end up desperate
But you also lack the sort of connection and fulfillment only a committed relationship gives you. Also, sex in a relationship is usually better than hookups.
Some guys are perfectly happy with mediocre emotionless sex. Others like to have more connection and more experience with the partner.
[–]NineteenAD9 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You can't pretend to be a player, and you can't pretend to be monogamous. Eventually, you'll settle into who you really are.
If you're not a player, don't try to be one.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sometimes I wish I had the temperament to be a player, so I can become the type of man that many women lust after. Sometimes, I worry that since I'm not the player type that a lot of ladies lust after, that when I do get a woman in my life, that she feels that she's just settling with me and not really wanted to be with me.
