BECAUSE IT'S SILLY TO LIMIT ONESELF TO JUST ONE PUSSY

>>2024987
This man has wisdom of the falcon.

They are a distraction

But I do have a boyfriend. We just live about 200 miles apart and most of our interaction happens over the internet.

...fuck, that's worse, isn't it?

>>2024996
Yeah

>>2024996
no. i personally know a couple separated by multiple continents who got married and now live together.

>>2025010
BUT I KNOW A BAZILLION PEOPLE WHO WASTED EVEN YEARS IN SUCH A RELATIONSHIP AND IT DIDN'T WORK OUT

>>2025012

As long as the odd years are well spent, all is not lost.

Cos we spent years accumulating a pale form of knowledge to increase our self-worth, but found that we weren't satisfied with the average "shallow" woman.

>>2025015
GUY: "BABE, I'M SO HORNY. SHOW ME YOUR TITS ON CAM"
GIRL: "OH I AM SO SHY OF THIS INTERNET THING"
GUY: "BUT I LOVE YOU, LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDARIES OF SPACE AND TIME"
GIRL: "I LOVE YOU JOHN.... OKAY.."

GUYS SEES TITS AND VIEWS IT AS TIME WELL SPENT

WHEREAS JOE IS IN THE NEXT ROOM FUCKING SOME SLUT

>>2025012
you can "waste" years in any relationship.

>>2025012
You can "waste" years in any relationship.
Or you can learn what "waste" really means.

>>2025022
>>2025020
Holy shit.

>>2025022
I NEVER SAID YOU COULDN'T FUCK HEAD

BUT STATISTICALLY THERE IS LESS TO GAIN FROM LONG DISTANCE

YOU MUST BE MAD BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOME INTERNET GIRLFRIEND IN JAPAN OR SOMETHING

CUTE

>>2025027
Nope. Real girlfriend. Just trying to keep loudmouthed dicks from keeping this girl down. Online relationships are slightly less rewarding than IRL ones if you count every kind of possible interaction as a net gain. In the end, they can both lead to great things and BOTH are far more rewarding to most people than no relationship whatsoever. I had an online girlfriend once. It didn't work out, but I don't regret a thing. I've had three or four "real" girlfriends besides. The online relationship was more rewarding than most of the IRL ones in every way but physical contact. It totally depends on the person.

>>2024982

I'm married.

Because the majority of women in the US are clueless fucking rubes.

>>2025018
This is the best way I've ever heard anyone put this.

>>2025069
Thanks. It's just a crystallization of /lit/

>>2025040
protip: the online girlfriend was the most rewarding because you didn't actually have to meet her. You fell in love with an ideal form.

>>2025074
Specifically tripfags. Girls don't care about their literary pretensions, so they boast to us.

because tripfags

I don't have a girlfriend because they cost money.

>>2025075
... and to continue on with that, this is why online relationships get ruined with the addition of Skype into the mix. All of a sudden, you have to confront the other person's image.

because I'm not in love or have romanticized feelings for any guys. because I don't care to have one. and because it's better this way.

>>2025100
You're just ugly. Or think you are. Same difference.

>>2025102

if I was deeply madly in love with a guy then I'd be open to having a relationship with him. but I'm not, so I won't. I don't want to have a boyfriend now anyway- it's better like this. and none of it has anything to do with physical aspects of myself. I simply don't wanna be in a relationship for the sake of being in a relationship, and I don't go out searching for a relationship because I don't need one

Because I am an ugly fatass who has high standards and can't find a perfect 10 that doesn't read shitty books, if they even read books in the first place.

Too beta. So beta that an Ivy League degree, a sweet high-paying job, and genuine cultural literacy can't get women the least bit excited about me.

>>2025107
so you think you're ugly and fat but you wan't a physically attractive 10/10 that is intelligent and perfect and smart ? pahahahahah. oh wow

I used to have girlfriends. That was before I became a 438 pound shut in who literally cannot leave his apartment due to crying, crippling, batshit insane anxiety.

I have no idea what the fuck. I've gained 100 pounds in 2011 alone. I'm in a death spiral.

how do you motivate yourself to read?
i find it so hard to start reading a book. after a few pages i get into it and wanna read it more, but starting and opening the book up is so aggravating to me. when do you read and how much time do you spend reading a day or week and where do you read mostly?

>>2025118
yes. life is about pleasure, and i don't take pleasure in being with girls who are 8 or lower

>>2025123
yeah, well, you're a shallow dickhead.

>>2025075
nope. we talked on skype, i saw her often. i knew her myriad flaws, we occasionally fought, and i didn't really "fall in love". She was just a really, really good friend. nice job trying to judge a guy you don't know to support your own opinions, though.

>>2025127
That was basically how all of my online relationships went. I liked the girl when she was only talking to me through text, but the moment I had to talk to her on skype, she started nagging me and complaining, and playing games with me. It was pretty bad. I just logged off and deleted my account.

I don't want to have to put up with people I can barely stand if I don't even have the consolation of physical intimacy with them.

>>2025119
Well... hmmm... you clearly are aware of your death spiral, so the only person you have to blame is yourself for not getting out of the death spiral.

You can... stop eating so much and start exercising, you know? But I don't think you have enough will power to do that, you lazy fucking faggot.

Fuckin' first world problems, I swear to god.

>>2025131
i don't get what the point of a post like this is, obviously a 438-pound shut-in is fucked up in some way that goes deeper than his mom always doing his laundry for him as a kid

>>2025129
that's not what i said in my post at all. things were great on skype. when we did argue it was in text over stupid things. we're still on pretty good terms. i'm sorry it didn't work out for you, but i get mad when people like the guy i was responding to say it can NEVER work. the chances are as good as any IRL relationship that isn't based largely on physical intimacy.

>>2025136
Both posters involved in this exchange should get therapy, because both could be good, happy people were it not for their totally curable but crippling illness.

for poster one, that would be depression and anxiety. for poster two, immaturity and anger issues.

I'm sorry it didn't work out.

It's really sad that the fatalist, bitter remarks far outnumber everything else.

>>2025142
>advocating therapy

Yeah, no, you cunt.

>>2025145
You sound angry.

>>2025131
Hey buddy. I don't recall _blaming_ anybody. Three years ago I was 22 years old, 210 pounds, getting ready to begin the final year of university. I wasn't blissed out or anything but I was on what seemed to be a normal path. Then in September of 2008 my little sister was killed by a drunk driver while walking across the street. I didn't think I felt much about it at the time. It fucked me up how little I felt.

At the funeral I couldn't talk to anyone. I didn't open my mouth. My uncle hugged me and said, "it just doesn't feel real, does it?"

And all I could think about was that it certainly felt real to me.

My Dad had passed away from lung cancer in September 2001. (Fucking Septembers.) My Mom committed suicide a few months after my sister's death, leaving me alone in the world (for all that matters) to start the new year.

Since then I've spent approximately $80,000 on food and alcohol.

There's something fucked up, and I wish I could explain it. It would sound like bullshit to tell you I have developed an eating disorder or alcoholism. but there's some black-hearted evil shit at the center of this thing. Some tornado of hunger and pain and rage that I can't even begin to fucking confront.

But yeah. Fuck you with your instant assessments of somebody else's life.

>>2025119
how did you gain 100 lbs in a year? out of curiosity

>>2025146
You sound like a fag.

>>2025149
toko?

>>2025147
Bro, amidst all that death, you need to keep moving forward.

I don't feel sorry for you in the slightest. You're just giving up on life and finding solace in food and alcohol. Serious fucking first world problems, if I've ever heard of them.

You're like my friend, who whenever he breaks up with a girl, retreats into his room with a bottle of JD, because that's what he's seen repeated over and over in movies.

Put one foot in front of the other. Then put another foot after that. Keep going until you're through your door. Don't head in the direction of the liquor store.

And fuck you right back for being useless. You think I haven't had family members die on me? You think I haven't known hard times? Don't assume that you're the only one in the world with REAL PROBLEMS, man.

The difference between you and me is that I got over it and you're still wallowing in self-pity.

So fuck you.

>>2025150
i thought it meant it kept you in a thread, and then someone told me it was noko or something, and then I forgot to erase it out of there. woops

>>2025147
I'm sorry to hear that. that is very traumatic especially the sequence of everything. I've lost close people too, so I know how you feel, but everyone copes differently. have you tried counseling? you sound like you're probably depressed, maybe even have binge eating disorder. it's not healthy.

>>2025151
Yes, I went to counseling for about four months. I finally quit in May. The guy was a hack. He didn't take me seriously. He didn't listen to me. It sucked.

>>2025156
You're a baby. You want to be taken seriously by a therapist?

You have a home and enough food to balloon out to a 500 pound fatass, and you want to be taken seriously? You're a joke. Nothing more.

>>2025150

You're a real asshole. everyone copes differently so maybe you should back off. yeah, moping and sobbing around about loss isn't going to do anything, but that is how some people respond to it without further guidance. also, I doubt you know what it's like to lose a sibling, or in the case of him, a sibling and both parent. fuck you man.you have no right whatsover to say such things.

I either lack social ability or I just hate the majority of the people I've encountered. A mix, perhaps.

lol this thread

oh boo hoo, your whole family's dead, is that supposed to make me feel bad for you? man up and contribute something to society like me, an internet hardman posting on 4chan at 3 am

>>2025126
you're right, i am shallow. it's not something i want to be because i'm sure there are a lot of wonderful people out there who aren't the most beautiful but i can't help it. i like girls that are pretty.

>>2025162
wow. 4chan disgusts me so much. i doubt any of you would say half the shit face-to-face to someone that you say on here, and if you do believe the things you say, you're a shitty person.

>>2025162
I'm actually doing one-handed pushups and sequencing the genetic code of a rare strain of sheep at the same time.

What have you done with your life, faggot

>>2025165
I sincerely do believe the things that I say. I also believe you're a faggot.

If you wanna fight me about it, you're gonna have to leave your apartment.

>>2024982
The real difference between you and me is that I don't make idiotic comments about other people who I know nothing about.

You had hard times? Well whoopdie-fucking-do, bro. What the fuck does that have to do with me?

YOU got through tough times, so everybody else's pain is bullshit. You win. You're a winner. In the contest to see who could handle it better when he came home and found his mother with the top of her head blown off lying in her own shit and piss, a few months after his baby sister got mangled so badly they couldn't even have an open casket at the funeral, you win every time.

Eat shit. I never asked you to feel sorry for me.

>>2025165
>she thinks that people need to be able to say something to that person's face before they are allowed to post it anonymously on 4chan

>>2025166
hmmm. i don't physically fight people. i like to believe that i'm more mature than that.

>>2025170
pics or it didn't happen, ya fairy

>>2025170
Fuck. And now I've responded to the wrong post.

>>2025176
You really don't understand anything about the world.

>>2025171
no, i don't think that. i just think it's disgusting how fucked up people on 4chan act, and how they think it's OK to act in such ways just because it's the internet. like the internet is some sort of excuse to act like a piece-of-shit douchebag, when it's not.

>>2025175
It's OK. It's not like I needed any further confirmation of your poor intellect.

>>2025173
Note to self: Remember how you don't talk about your life on the internet? This is why. Just pretend everything is okay. It's cool. It'll all be over soon.

>>2025170
You should read Infinite Jest. Your life sounds like a poorly written DFW novel.

>>2025170
dude go to bed or at least get off 4chan until this thread falls off the front page; it's obviously going nowhere good and arguing with 16-year-old sociopaths is a bad way to spend your time even when it's not personal. i don't have much good advice (although i will say - if you have the money you should try therapy again. it makes all the difference in the world when you find one who's actually good) but i hope you get better mang

>>2025181

>>2025170
ROTFLMAO @ this dude over here.

Oh, man. Basically your mother killed herself because she'd rather kill herself than take care of you.

LOL.

>>2025179
you're just a e-douchebag and a pathetic excuse for a human being.

>>2025197
Ouch, girl. Now I've seen the light and am going to change my ways. You've really done a lot of good today, you know that? Go ahead and treat yourself to another serving of plain yoghurt.

>>2024982

Because I'm asexual and thus am unlikely to find someone who would want to be in any sort of long-term relationship unless I go looking for other asexuals, and I have too much going on right now for a relationship anyway.

I actually have a girlfriend, OP.

My dating pattern is cyclical; every 10 or 11 months I round up as many ovulating hicks as I can find in a single trailer park and have sex with all of them over the course of 36 hours or so, pollenating each specimen 2 to 3 times. At least one of them will become pregnant, but it's alright if there's more than one, because they seem indifferent to polygamy. I marry the pregnant woman/women and move to a remote ranch in northwestern Nebraska. 6 months into the gestation period, I kill each of my wives, eat the fetuses, and begin having sex with the corpses only once the genitalia show signs of rotting until limbs begin to fall off due to friction.

>>2025199

Learn to live with your mistakes, darling~~~ You'll grow up one day.

>>2025207
yeah, almost as bad as using green text to make up for illiteracy and unoriginality. :)

>>2025131
If this guy is still here I want him to know that some people DO care, and the fuckholes here are being mean for kicks. That doesn't make it better and it doesn't undo it but they really don't mean it. There's good in the world, you just can't find much of it on here. I hope you get better, man. There are still people who care, and you're still important.

I wish this stupid thread would get deleted

>yfw when there are no /lit/ related threads on the board and /lit/ is deleted like so many other boards.
