I’m a 22-year-old guy living in Sweden, and I’ve been a foreigner here my whole life. It’s been really hard to get laid or even connect with girls in general. On average, I hook up maybe once a year, and it feels like a constant struggle—especially when I see my friends doing way better than me.

I’ve been told I’m good-looking, and I do get compliments from girls sometimes, but things never really go further. I don’t have a lot of friends because I don’t go out much, and dating apps haven’t worked for me at all. I’m 170 cm tall, and I feel like my height makes things harder too, even though it’s something I can’t really change.

I’ve been trying—whether it’s to hook up or find a girlfriend—but nothing seems to work. It’s frustrating and discouraging. Recently, I went clubbing with a friend, hoping to meet someone, but the vibe was terrible. Almost every girl rejected us, didn’t want to dance or even talk. We saw other people get rejected too. It felt like the girls there had huge egos and just weren’t interested, so we ended up leaving. It honestly sucked, and I’m just feeling stuck.
