If you need to work on yourself man then do that. But just an FYI, you shouldn’t let these things stop you.
I’m a 29 year old unemployed loser living at home with his parents and I can get dates easily. I’m not that good looking, I’m pretty short (5’7), I only weigh 110 pounds, and I’m also slightly balding.
Don’t let life get you down Man. Confidence is the most powerful asset a man can have. Find hobbies that you’re passionate about (preferably ones women find attractive) and focus on those.
For me it’s surfing and playing the guitar. Sometimes I just take my guitar with me to the beach and women come up to me.

By leaving the house and talking to any cute girl I see. Dating apps also help but you need to have good pictures. My pictures are all of me doing my hobbies, so women tend to reach out to me first to ask about those.
You don’t need a desirable life style bro. My most recent ex was a doctor dating my unemployed ass

How do you get dates and where?

Then what are you doing to improve this? Take a year off to focus on yourself - no women, no video games, no pointless distractions. Exercise, eat right, stop jerking off, and if you can then start taking college classes. Doesn’t matter if you’re going for a bachelors degree or a trade certificate. Work to improve yourself.
If you’re balding then either shave it all off or look into treatments. I’m bald myself, and I spent probably thousands of dollars on stupid creams and shampoos that didn’t do anything. In fact, the only things proven to work on baldness are minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia). Minox works but only as long as you use it - if you stop using it for a while your hair will fall out again. Fin works but can fuck up your libido, so that was an automatic “no” for me. I guess you could get a transplant but those are expensive. So I shaved my head and miraculously, women didn’t suddenly start ignoring me.
If you’re not feeling good about yourself why would you expect anyone else, especially women, to feel good about you either?

That’s fair.

Get rid of the mentality that if only you had X, you could finally do Y. It's a delusion that keeps us from doing what we want in life.

Many potential partners can be very accepting of your current life if you're making a genuine effort to better yourself/career/ everything.
Almost no one in their 20s has everything perfect and making excuses that you have to wait will happen forever.
Allowing yourself to make excuses will keep you in the same life that you lead right now. Make changes starting today and create the life you want. No one else is going to do it for you.

Fuck society "norms." As long as you're not breaking the law, do what makes you happy.
I'm 58 and hooked up with a 20yo coworker

the age of consent is 16 here and we don't have any age gap laws at all.
It's bilogically normal to be sexually attracted to girls who have hit puberty no matter how old you are. We're hardwired to do so. Besides, 28 really is still pretty young
For reference i've hooked up with girls who are 18 (and even slightly younger) fairly recently, and i'm a fair bit older than you.
Are some girls gonna be creeped out? Probably. Not to worry. Are some girls just not gonna be interested? Of course. But that is the same if you are hitting on 30 year olds and not 18 year olds. Some girls are even gonna be INTO the fact you're older. All you can do is keep shooting your shot. If people think it's 'creepy' that's on them. Half the men judging you are just worried about looking creepy themselves (so they pretend it's dusgusting and that they could never be sexually attracted to that 18 year old with big boobs and tiny waist and pretty face lol).
In terms of having your life in order - it depends on what your goal is. That stuff might be important if yuo're trying to get a steady girlfriend (good job, your own place etc), but if you just wanna be banging young girls/have one night stands etc, then none of that stuff matters one iota. I've got countless examples of friends who are in a lot of a worse life situation than you (older, no job, live with parents etc) who get laid just fine

I don’t refuse to date someone my age, just never met anyone over 30 who I’ve been attracted to.

Ayyy same age and I feel very similar. I always feel like I'm creepy and far older than what I am. That women my age or a bit younger are just off the table.
[–]Mr_lightning22 0 points1 point2 points 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
You are at max 8 years older and these women are fully developed and can give consent/ are legal
Bruh don't worry about it
Also you are not old so how are you a creepy old man?

Who cares it’s basic biology for a man to be attracted to women younger than what age you’re
