You actually have the right idea, just give up. Stop searching. Stop trying. You're absolutely right.
What do you like to do? What are you good at? Go do that and other things that make you feel good and confident. Work on developing those skills and hobbies.
It's going to have to be a two way street, not you doing everything and anything for her. Make her work for and vie for your attention. You've been alive for X amount of years becoming you, if you like you, then why shouldn't others? I've made that same mistake too and it's bit me in the ass. Just stop trying. Be you, work on you and liking and loving you and the right person will come. Look into stoic philosophy too.
Hope this helps, keep your chin up!

He's still gonna have to talk to girls, mate. So many guys forget about that part lol

Yeah that's what I was thinking about : If I talk to 0 girls, they won't even think about chasing me (except if I'm famous or something lmao)

See you dont actively look out for boys to talk to do you? Yet in a natural course of things you end up talking to a guy and become good friends/develop a connection. Same goes for girls, dont look out for the purpose of datind, just do what you do and develop yourself and they'll fall in place

I'm in complete agreement with what the fella said, a great way to get into stoic, and other philosophies like taoism and absurdism it the YouTube channel Einzelgänger. Getting deeper into stoicism, everyone should read "Discourses and selected writings" it's basically a guide on how to be an awesome human being and live a better life.

Yes. She has to be interested and do some work and if not, just walk away.

Hey, thank you for your answer !
I already tried to have that mindest, except that last time i tried it, it was more like "I don't give a F about girls, and I'm doing that to get girls" Which was contradictory...
It's hard to get that non contradictory mindset tho...

How old are you?
It can take a man a few years to build his body, his mind, his hobbies, his wardrobe and his career to a point where women see him as desirable. If on an upwards path of health and wealth, men become more valuable as they age (to a point).
For many young men, they think their drought will last forever. Yet if they keep growing themselves, eventually they notice women are starting to chase after them.

I'm 17, I'm aware that I'm really far from being at my prime and that girls at this age are more likely of being at their prime

Exactly!

Part of being a man is never giving up. You can fail a million times but an actual failure only happens when you admit defeat. Easier said than done, and that applies to all facets of life not just women. Ooh rah!!
Yup you're totally right, this post is more about giving up for right now, cuz I feel like I have maybe better things to do than wasting my time on smth that doesn't even work

Quit the online bullshit it’s ineffective and honestly a bit in humane. You need real skill with real people.

Yeah that’s what I tought, after I tried tinder i realised how much stupid it actually was

What are you doing wrong? Being a giant D bag.
[–]UnknownThrowaway18 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
What you're doing wrong is chasing. When you chase them, they already feel like they got you so they lose interest. I got bamboozled like that when I tried to go after girls. Now I'm turning into a Alpha, slowly but surely. Watch this video and you'll learn more. Watch more than just this video and you'll turn into a role alpha. Trust me, it'll help you in the long run. https://youtu.be/l82kfzTrrZA

stop listening to these two clowns. there’s nothing worse than looking up to or taking advice from two people who already look and act way worse than you
[–]UnknownThrowaway18 -1 points0 points1 point 4 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
No offense but that’s your opinion and at the end the day, what they’re saying is right. You can either take or leave it op. But do what’s best for you

How serious are you about correcting this?
I'll give you some advice but if you're not going to take it - there's no point in trying to help.

Focus on yourself. Be better than yesterday. Try to build a great life style for you. And eventually girls will come. But you do have to do some leg work, like meeting friends in groups, going out, joining classes such as dancing class, painting class anything you like to do. You might find girls who are interested in those activities and then it will go smooth.

You should take one week out of each month where you take a complete break from the pursuit of women and put full focus on building up your value as a man through passions and purpose (which will ultimately make you more attractive than cold approach and pick up lines will )
