How does it feel knowing you are missing out on scenes like this mindless bullshit right here, which happens to go by living? We are missing out on life, preferring to live vicariously through our books. Pages are no real window into living. So, why aren't you out there doing shit and having shit happen to you?

Trial and Error

It's a continual process that will not end until I die, but so far, I'm pretty sure I've discovered the lifestyle that maximizes my happiness.

Every so often I'll try something different and see if that increases my happiness any more, but so far I'm pretty sure.

Of course I don't.

It's why we should avoid using such an absolute word as "know."

I don't "know" anything, I'm only pretty sure given what I've experienced up to this point.

I go to parties sometimes, but I have to really think what to say at them, and I always feel like I'm acting some part rather than enjoying myself. It wears me out and I just feel like spending the whole of the next day inside by myself.

I spent a two-month holiday trying out online dating. In that time I got fifty response, fifteen dates and twelve makeouts. Seven of the twelve became sex, four of which were semi-regular. I could've had three more sex-buddies from the twelve makeouts, but this was during the final week in which I quit.

Fun fact: I had sex before I'd ever masturbated (not Catholic, etc; just never happened.) With masturbation, you can jack off whenever you want at however you want. It's clean, quick and convenient. With most cases of casual sex, you're going to need to organise a time, travel and a whole host of other things. It's practically two hours minimum. Like another anon said, this is a completely subjective judgement so take this and other points in mind.

You know what the most fun was? Confidence boosting and the chase. You take a woman out, you use whatever methods you have and, by the end of the night, you take her. I literally said to about 4/5 of these women in my first message 'I'm just looking for good conversation and/or casual sex'. That kind of shit doesn't fly with women 18-21ish, but I was a hit with the 25-36 demographic. Maybe 18-21 is an amazing sweetspot of sex; who knows?

Double-fun-fact: I was a kissless virgin when I started this, 20 years old. I lied to the first person I managed to get into bed; making up excuses that it had been a while. If she noticed she didn't say anything. I kept a text file recording who responded and how old they are but I stopped keeping it up after a while


This is starting to feel a bit rambling, in short; once I'd gathered a certain amount of social/sexual skills/knowledge, I had diminishing returns and started doing more important things. Perhaps you've got a specific question or two?

That's actually pretty interesting. How easy was doing the whole online dating thing? As someone who seeks to learn 'the hard way' what you already appear to know, I want to head down that path.

How are you in terms of attractiveness and what kinds of girls were you getting? How difficult is the 'date' part of things? I'd love to hit that 18-21 range, but it seems like that's a no go? Is there any chance we could see this text file recording? Very curious

Finding compatible friends and partners isn't exactly easy. You just kind of luck out.
I was really lucky in high school because I found a circle of friends I could connect with and go out every week.
Since I stopped contacting them regularly though, I've just been lonely. I don't know how to really hook up with someone other than the internet. And I'm the type that quickly gets warmed up and friendly with someone but I suck with strangers so Idk.

You learn to not get attached to any one person. You'll think it'll be different, that 'this one is in the bag'. Don't. They'll just stop responding one day, even if they say 'where and when.' I also had to learn to kind of take the lead, women will rarely make that first move unless they're somewhat older.

I used a simple format for almost every message: a basic form of maybe a paragraph of words + a few personal details from their profile. Simple. Profile is something I don't feel qualified to talk on, but I was told by the people I went out with that it would 'probably be intimidating for younger women.' OKcupid is your best bet by far.

>How are you in terms of attractiveness
Shit, I don't know. One woman said I'd be pretty attractive in my 30s. Ages of women I was getting was 30+/-6. I got pretty used to dating people 10-16 years older than me.

>What types of girls
Fat chicks were happily few, made out with two and slept with one. I met some damn-fine people: educated (the fat chick I made out with was doing postgrad medicine.). Others were just, I don't know, average. Probably the top-tier was this American game dev woman in her 30s; great body (kind of 40s style) and, I kid you not, a KISS length tongue. That is some shit right there.

Don't rule out the 18-21, you'll probably just have to be less full-on. The longest I ever waited for sex was after the second date, not sure how that differs for that category.

>text file recording
Honestly, it's just 50-odd names in categories like
Discussion

Yet to meet

Unsure about
Schedule (shit can get busy)
