Hi guys, I'm making some changes in my life and one of the key areas I really need improvement in is dealing with women.

I think one of my biggest obstacles is that I've become reliant on the internet and using it to replace real life. I'm 23 and just finished college. I remember as a freshman discovering Omegle and being able to get 'cybersex' on there where I'd have sexual chats with girls I met on there. Then chatroullete and the video version of omegle came out and I spent so many hours on there, wishing to get lucky and finding someone on cam that I could fap with. Eventually I actually did manage to get myself something of a internet gf out of this, and we did end up camsexing, and developed something of a relationship, and then even met up IRL once and had real sex!

After that though I went downhill pretty fast. Lost my confidence for some reason, sex drive went down. Extremely difficult to talk to girls in real life. I've also always been fapping to facebook girls. Facebook is an awful website in that it really makes you feel like you are 'friends' with these girls when in reality you have zero relationship whatsoever.

Most recently, I got myself another internet girlfriend and we'd call each other on the phone all the time, but we never cam-sex'd. She broke it off with me like a month ago. So now I've been trying nofap to increase my sex drive, and messed around a bit on /r/r4r but not really finding anything worthwhile.

I think I really need to break free from my dependence on the internet. So basically what I want to know is...some reassurance that this is not normal and I should be staying away from all this stuff. right? Real PUAs who have success in real life don't waste their time with omegle and online dating? or do they?

so, sorry for the novel...basically though

tl;dr is it really bad to be too dependent on the internet? do real PUAs ever bother with online dating stuff?
