So much to unpack here dude.
First, yeah, stop with the porn.
Second, being 24 and going back to college will be shooting fish in a barrel, if that’s what you’re into.You can buy booze without a fake. Instant cred.
Also, for the love of god, do not pretend to be gay just to talk to them. That is you being dishonest and manipulative. Nobody likes that. Not an attractive quality.
You have experiences that your peers to not. That is always an advantage.
Also, own up to why you’re older. Don’t hide from it. Depending on how you frame it, you can seem really mature or a loser.
For example- why are you still in college at 24?
“ eh, you know what they say, if you don’t succeed, try again. In all seriousness, I wasn’t ready for college when I was 18 and I knew it. I needed to get into the working world first to understand the sort of opportunity I have in front of me.”
Well what were you doing those years?
I worked on x for a bit, I traveled some, I worked on y, and then transition to something else.
People like to talk to interesting people. You have a non-traditional story. Make it interesting.

It would so be easy if i could get over the fact that i look 5 years younger than i am lol. It's the first thing a girl asks about when she talks to me so i'm always assuming it's an obstacle for her

Nope.
I went bald at 22. Balding all through college. I thought that it impacted every conversation that I had with people... and it did. Not because they gave a shit. But because I did.
When I realized that nobody cared... I stopped caring.
The key, is don’t be defensive about it.

yeah but balding makes you look older / more mature lol, not like a baby

Please don’t get defensive with this forthcoming comment, it is meant to help.
The tone of your response there, was, for lack of better term, a bit childish. Instead of internalizing the advice I just gave you, your response came off as a “woe is me.” Sort of thing.
You are more mature than these women. You are older than they are. Don’t try to act like a 19 year old, because then you’re putting yourself in the same pool as your “competition.”
What are your strengths? What can you offer that her 19 year old compatriots can’t? Write it down if you have to to really think that through. Use that.

Wasn't being defensive, just realistic. You're right, but I've also talked to girls younger than me about these experiences I've had that my peers havent, and the way they reacted was almost in a sort of condescending, patronizing way, like the way you might be talking to a young boy ("look at YOU and the things you do!") Looks DON'T mean everything but to a lot of these younger slutty college types they play a big role. I'm 5'6" and 123 lbs. I've also been 5'6" and 150 lbs. I looked older when I was heavier, but not in a good way. I guess I could get jacked at the gym, but that is also EXACTLY what those same "competitors" are doing for the same reason and I think after awhile these girls get BORED of it. Maybe I could be the exception to the rule

Go the gym and get fit for yourself man. Do it for you, not for girls, that comes after you do it for yourself

Can totally relate. Going back to school at 24. 5'6 132lbs. I can pass for 16/17 easy.
I work full-time overnight (11p-8). When I get off I go to classes (9a-1). The thing is there's always another person. There's always someone on campus with the same age, someone older, someone older who looks 10yrs younger, etc going through the obstacles your going through.
There's always another girl. There's plenty of girls that you will find attractive and not. Some will be like you going back but majority will be younger. Im going to a community college that has high school students. I relate to the age struggle. But I def don't let it get in my way of my studies and connecting with them as a human.
Your in school focus on that 1st. Women will come and go but your attention should not be fucked with

yeah...well..its infuriating having paid my own bills, worked dozens of shitty jobs, etc, and still get addressed like almost as a child by some of these young ladies....i should be the one being the daddy to their daddy / girl thing, not vice versa. in a way, it makes me want to have some sort of dom relationship or some shit as a kind of playful revenge

That first paragraph? That's my life right now 100%.

As for girls, I'm 24 soon, still a virgin. But I'm attractive and 6 foot 4. This Hell is one of my own creation.
