Location matters. Move.
Was in a rut in the burbs that I lived in.
Went on a 8 day trip to cali, never have I ever vibed with so many women in such a short amount of time

Everyone here says it's a numbers game
Also that's not how
[–][deleted] 19 points20 points21 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
It is a numbers game. What that means is keep trying, not holler at every girl you see walk by.
They come in waves. It's odd

Why do you think 30 is a bad age?
[–]peakyraven 19 points20 points21 points 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Yes, I am in the same boat. I am working out, making money, attending dancing classes, and fixing my mental state. I have never dated in person. I don't know how or where to begin with.
Things like flirting, "game" or being funny and witty are foreign to me.
[–][deleted] 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't imagine there will be very good tips for those things in here, I've never gotten any.
[–]OnlyInterest2041 16 points17 points18 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Fuck it. Make more money and fuck some hookers then.

No, everyone here says you can get laid without hookers.
Tell us how it's done.

lmao what? you turning 30 has nothing to do with a certain age group not being available to you.
[–]Important-Quote9544 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yes they are not available. Especially if he is isn’t high value.
[–]VVSimani 7 points8 points9 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Even if your not high value in your twenties it still won’t work.
Generally, girls like cool, fun laid back dudes that aren’t needy
[–]VVSimani 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I’ve seen 33 with 23 year olds, 35 with 26 year olds. my uncle is 32 years old and his gf is 24 years old
[–]dobbs1997 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
what’s your definition of high value ?
I understand that it can be really frustrating when trying to attract women and only to get turned down.
I would invest on getting a coach to help you get this in order. It saves time and mental health hahah
[–]Woujo 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I'm 38 I bang 21, 22, 23 year olds all the time.
What’s your aesthetic appearance wise and where do you meet these girls? Do you make decent money? Just out of curiosity.
[–]Woujo 3 points4 points5 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I look good. I work out and dress well. I look young for my age but tney know how old I am.
I make good money but thats a non factor because I dont tell girls about that part of my life.
I meet them everywhere but mostly bars and clubs.
[–][deleted] 6 points7 points8 points 4 years ago (27 children) | Copy Link
The problem is you think too much. When fate decides to get you laid, it will at any cost no matter what you do.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (14 children) | Copy Link
I don't believe you, you don't know that for sure. Maybe fate never will decide to get you laid. It hasn't for me yet.
[–]broctopus13 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (13 children) | Copy Link
Yeah we could tell by the way you’re rabidly replying to every comment that you haven’t been laid dude, go outside
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (12 children) | Copy Link
Wow it's like you were trying hard not to be helpful.
I work on a giant college campus and ask for like 5 girls' numbers every day. And never get a date with any of them.
Same thing when I go salsa dancing.
Also you didn't explain how your braindead fate idea is supposed to work.
[–]broctopus13 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Hey peabrain, I’m a different guy than the original comment. You can’t just sit around all day asking questions to the wind expecting people to answer - the bottom line is work on yourself, build your self confidence, and stop telling yourself lies. Good luck
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link
If I do all that and it doesn't work... I just did the exact same thing I did in college, it didn't work then, and no guarantee it'll work now.
Unless you can explain how self confidence will solve all my problems
Thanks for the good luck, I'll need it since this whole things boils down to luck
[–]broctopus13 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Man I took a look at your post history and it’s no wonder you’re miserable - it seems like you’re devoting your entire life to getting laid, and you’ve somehow convinced yourself that that’s the only way you’ll be happy. Stop putting your happiness into other people’s hands. Do things because you enjoy them and not simply as a means to an end (ie taking salsa dance classes as a way to get girls). I’m confident that people can sense your desperation, which is ultimately making you less attractive.
Look bro I know this comes off as harsh but please start being honest with yourself. Start doing some research and try to find the answers for yourself instead of pestering and annoying people on Reddit. I highly recommend reading the Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark Manson as soon as possible.
No one is going to change you except yourself.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
So in other words this sub is completely useless and counterproductive, and no one can give advice.
I did all that in college, and more, and it didn't happen.
[–]broctopus13 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Get off Reddit and seek professional help. Goodbye

Another way of saying it's random and based on luck. Just say that?
And literally one person has ever approached me, and that was after I approached her and moved away.

Sadly you’re correct, the western society has been in decline for a while. But it seems that OLD has made it decline even further with the help of the pandemic shutting everyone inside
[–]the_root_of_all_evol 4 points5 points6 points 4 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
Get it out of your head that 21 year old women are the “prime” catch. Realise that women of all ages are equally worthy of your time. Sorry if that comes across a bit feminazi but come on man
[–]its4thecatlol 2 points3 points4 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Okay, I like girls in their 30s too but this is flat out bullshit. I’ve noticed drastic changes in some women as they approach 30. Some don’t seem to age, others seem to age overnight. I think solar exposure matters a lot here. I’ve noticed that introverted or housecat type of women age far better. The girls who were on the beach all the time get hit with age like a truck.
[–]tealifehk 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Agree 100%. I blame society for this programming. I'm glad I see the light now and that things are improving

You're so obviously young it's hilarious. Nobody is going after 50 year old women. Hahaha.
[–]the_root_of_all_evol -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Why are you saying that like it’s something to be proud of lol? There are plenty of hot 50+ year old women but guys (possibly like you) going through a midlife crisis don’t want to be reminded of their age lmao
[–]ExtremeNihilism -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
If you cheat around when you're young and betray your men don't be surprised when we don't weep when you're old and nobody wants to pay any attention to you.
[–]the_root_of_all_evol -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
dude that’s completely unrelated 😂 who hurt you? maybe try some therapy if that’s how you see women
[–]VVSimani 1 point2 points3 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s hard to identify why you haven’t pulled after speaking with hundreds of women because I don’t know you.
Do you dress with nice clothes that fit well? Is your hair properly styled or in good condition before you go out? Do you come off too needy or too anxious/nervous? Those are general questions you can start from there.
Reflect of how you’re interacting with girls by documenting or journaling your approaches.

I have no self respect because I’ve hated myself for decades and I have never known how to be honest with anyone especially about dating and sex. Or anything that bothered me. On top of this obviously being mentally ill to a degree for a long long time.
So I’m almost 28 and I have no job or a career. I live at my parents house in the same one I grew up in. I’m applying to some jobs and trying to turn writing into a living but I don’t have enough belief in myself and it doesn’t matter. I’ve wasted too much time already
It’s really a shitty life. I hate to say it but it is. Especially when you are aware that things could have been so much different and it easily could have been different. Now I’m stuck in this shit life. I might as well fast forward to being 80
I’m getting to the point where I don’t even think about sex that much anymore. What am I gonna do bang somebody in my little bed at home as a grown man? I can’t let someone see who I really am and what my life is really like so... they don’t. It amazes me that I haven’t killed myself yet
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (31 children) | Copy Link
What are the signals
How do you know it will be a piece of cake
And if it was that easy to do those things, and accept myself, I would've done it already.
If you want me to believe you, this vagueness isn't gonna cut it

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (29 children) | Copy Link
You don't give a shit about backing up the drivel that's coming out of your mouth.
None of it is the reason you got laid. You had lots of friends and lots of positive social experiences growing up that helped.
If it's a "piece of cake," you should be able to back it up instead of getting angry at me.
[–]Important-Quote9544 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I’ll explain: you do not have enough value (looks,status,money) for girls to entertain you of any ages.
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I have some money, how do I get social status
I’m only 24 but have had even less success in my 20s than my teens, i guess i still have time to turn it around tho.
You’re wrong about early 20s girls not being interested anymore once you’re 30. Most girls are really into older guys and i’ve heard of many men who did better in their 30s than their 20s
[–]ninjamiran 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I thinks it’s about location and your looks I seen older guys pull plenty of bicthes regardless of age , it’s mostly just the location and opportunity

At one point you start losing hope in late 20s. I attended university until 28, grad program. I lived around campus because of my work and still not success. Its frustrating. Online dating is worst option but if you are inexperienced then it feels impossible to initiate conversation and meet girls in real life. Its difficult, too difficult, and you can not ask for help, its best way to get stamped as looser, you might get some empathy. Things are really difficult if they don't happen in right time. I guess some are just unlucky but at least you could keep trying. Personally I tried really hard, improved my speaking skills, built really good physique, I am proud on myself just for effort I took, despite no success. It is what it is! just face it and if possible fight as long as you can!
[–]MakeItGain 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Late mid to late 20s were a bad spot for me with girls. Most of my friends were either married or settling down so I rarely went anywhere but to family restaurants with them. After university my jobs have been in engineering which is 100% male when you aren't working in a city office.
That period got me into upping my game and non conventional means of approaching women. So don't look at it as a bad thing. If circumstances aren't working for you, change them so that they are.
I'm now 35 and getting back into this and trust me, it gets even harder at this age
[–]5_7pickup 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's exactly what happened with me. I went to school, post grad, got a career, got a high income, was fit and my dating life still sucked. I didn't get it. I did everything right but I had no girls.
This is the problem with modern dating advice. It keeps telling men to do self improvement shit, which is important, but a great product is fucking worthless without proper marketing.
Here's my story on how I changed all that: https://www.reddit.com/r/1PercentDating/comments/sagseq/what\_it\_took\_for\_me\_to\_finally\_start\_doing\_cold/

You'd have to pay me to date a 21 year-old. It's like adopting a puppy, but potty training is emotional labor instead.
[–]Gizzard-Gizzard 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link

[–]its4thecatlol 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My early 20s sucked. I had way too much negative shit in my life to bring anyone into it.
Dating in your mid to late 20s as a successful man, however, is easy mode. You’re at the perfect age to still date the hottest girls in their early 20s, but you’re not too young for girls in their early 30s. I feel like these are the prime years. I don’t want to be 35 and still chasing pussy, though, so I keep a long term view in the back of my head but I have to say I got no complaints.
