But things happen for a reason.   If you're as old as I think you are, you just need to start dating like you don't give a fuck and start slaying the bar slut crowd.

You might actually have a good time - but more importantly, you'll wear off the "embarrassingly awkward" edges of a fully adult male who hasn't figured his shit out yet.  

And then, all of a sudden, women will see you differently - and when you see that special someone, you'll mentally be in a better place to be desirable and actually close the deal.

Walking around like a 40 year old virgin isn't helping you.  The last of the virgins all got married 10 years ago.   The best ones have been locked down for 30 years, and their kids can vote now.

You're stuck picking from the pieces of failed dreams and trying to find the most normal of what's left.   Make the most of it...  really - what else do you have left to lose?

I'm 32, and I'm not a virgin. Didn't lose it until I was 22, so I was still kinda late in that regard. I haven't been with a lot of women, but I certainly don't have that hanging over my head. Also I don't care if a girl is a virgin or whatever. That story is from when I was 19-21.

Although I will say I've never "made love" in that none of my sexual encounters have ever meant a meaningful thing. To me anyway.

You are right. There is a reason everyone is divorced.

Take notes 556Cliff:
We went to work an ice storm in OKC years ago. We had been there a couple of weeks and had most of the city back on. Being tired of the chow that was catered, we decided to swing into Hooters, as a bunch of unsupervised dudes are want to do. One of the guys started hitting on one of the waitresses and convinced her that we had volunteered to work the storm, heavily implying that we were doing it out of the goodness of our hearts, instead of being the degenerate mercenaries we are. The bullshit seemed to have worked, as he reported a much better night than we had.

Find a bunch of grouchy dudes in big trucks with foldy stuff on the back. Befriend them, and tag along with them on their journey, kinda like joining a tragic circus. The sloots are drawn by the smell of money and will do stuff in the hopes of accompanying you, and your not so merry band of miscreants.

In your travels, keep an eye out for some gal that looks like someone you could live with. Start a conversation, and if she is indeed nice, buy her a house and go on your way. It's easier and cheaper that way.

18 lucky quartz crystals for the price of 5? You may have burnt out all your luck just in receiving that order.

But seriously, that might actually look good on some drummers while playing the drums... Obviously not me, I'd just have to keep them in a box in a drawer.

I actually had homemade fajitas... I don't eat all that much processed frozen food and it's rare that I drink soda.

I didn't even go out today other than to make a trip over to take care of one of my neighbors dogs and horses while they are away on vacation.


Edit: Gorl, seems like a very manly woman... I'm not sure if I have a type, but I'm sure I'm not into gorls.

Remember, this one is/was my base line...

Picture removed by me.

Fun fact: Her Mom was my dental hygienist up until I was a teenager (she's the wife of one of my Dad's old friends), but anyways, about 10 or so years ago in a Christmas card she sent to my parents, she maybe not so jokingly asked if I was still available for her daughter... This was shortly after she had just went through a divorce from her first husband. I'm not sure that my Mom ever got back to her on that, but I probably wouldn't have really considered it anyways since she had kids by that point.

I think her Mom always hoped her daughter had went with me over the guys she ended up with. I wasn't bad looking around that time and I still had most of my hair... I even wore jeans back then, lol. We might have made a good match. Just thinking about it all here recently makes me kind of sad.

Well, I actually have 2 brothers and they both failed me there... Though they are younger than me, so I was supposed to be the one setting the example. So really we all failed each other.

I don't have that on my bucket list... Not even sure all the peer pressure in the world could make me take one step into the parking lot of a strip club... Or even a Hooters, a bar, a casino and so many other places.

In a few ways I sometimes wonder how it's possible that me and my brothers are even related. I wouldn't call either of them social butterflies, but they are still way more social than I am.

Single and stay away from crazy. A number of my married friends think I'm crazy for doing stuff like waking up and driving 18 hours to WY and going backpacking in the winds. Or 12 hours and backpacking the west for of the Gila in New Mexico. Pretty non crazy to me. Not a party type person.

I spent all weekend playing video games.  Literally didn't step a foot outside and basically played games from sun up till sun down.  I already did the lawn during the week and the house is clean, so didn't really have much else to do. Tomorrow I think I am going to wash and wax my truck after work.  

The reality is that this is what I want.  Quiet, things taken care of and NOTHING crazy happening.  This is peace and happiness.  I am gonna go put a history documenty on the TV and sleep now.  

Fuckin crazy shit happening over here.

Depends on what video games you were playing? My brothers and their friends were pretty big into online gaming (mostly Call of Duty) when they were single, I'm so cool that I only watched them play. I suck at video games.

But you've been to parties, yes? If so, you're more of a party person than myself.

Most determine that they either are or aren't party people by attending a few. I figured out that I'm not a party person because I knew there would be other people present.

I never cared for parties either. Been to plenty of them, basically was thinking the whole time "yeah, this is why I don't go out." Same with bars. I just don't like the environment. Now, that isn't to say I didn't have fun sometimes, but it is not my cup of tea.

At least you came to that conclusion through experience (the normal way). You didn't let fear keep you from it. But I am curious. Why keep going to parties and bars once you figured out they aren't your thing after the first couple?

Not that I'm completely clueless, the answer to that is probably as simple as "there's women there". That wouldn't be (never has been) enough for me to get over the social hurdle to make myself go, plus the environment and the types of people I associate with that kind of environment... It's obviously not for me, but I do get it.

Because there were people I wanted to hang out with, and that is what they were doing. My one old buddy used to have parties at his house almost every weekend. Sometimes there would be people I was cool with who I haven't seen in a while, and I wanted to see them. Also, I liked getting fucked up (quit doing that a while ago). As far as bars I used to go with my old coworker to get some Milk Stouts after the Friday double shift. It was right across the street. It was more tolerable than other places because it was a little more chill, the crowd wasn't too big. Saw some interesting things, like a guy in a wheel chair almost get rocked by this other guy because he was hustling pool. There was this one kinda husky girl who kept trying to get with me, but I wasn't the least bit attracted to her. But holy shit she would not leave me alone, even when I was a total dick. Like goddamn girl, take a hint. I'm not playing hard to get, I legit don't want to talk to you. Also got hit on by gay dudes sometimes.

But I'm not really that much of a social creature. I'm quite introverted. But I can act the part when I need to, though I can still be awkward.

Ah, well... There goes my theory on the motivation for going to parties and bars simply being due only to the possibility of women being there.

You do really sound like the typical introvert with what you're saying. I've watched plenty on YouTube about that as I'm obviously also on the introverted side, it never perfectly fit as I have such an extreme case of it. Of course there are other issues at play for me.

Quoted above in red (not that I'm going to any parties or bars any time ever), but what might be the best tip you could offer to not be hit on by gay dudes? My first thought was to walk in wearing a shirt with "Totally Not Gay!" printed on the back and front, but it's probably better to be a bit more subtle than that.

Don't go in like this for sure, obviously. >

I dunno about you, but one of the most peaceful & relieving shits I ever took was on a bucket... in the rain, under a tin roof structure at my buddy's hunting camp in the dark. It beat trying to shit in the RV bathroom where my thighs were literally touching one another the entire time...

I mean, if I was looking for an easy lay that would be real easy to do. But you sit there and watch them go from guy to guy all night looking for attention, see them leave with different guys all the time....not attractive to me. Just wasn't what I was looking for. Like I said earlier, I'm not a slut. I've only hooked up with a handful of women. Tried that before, made me uncomfortable because I don't know this chick. Guess I'm just weird like that.

As far as getting hit on by gay dudes, usually took a minute to figure it out because they weren't total flamers. I was hanging out with a lady friend of mine and her friends (but I knew them from school) and this one guy, absolutely shitfaced comes up and says "you're hot, I want to make out with you." He was swaying and barely had his eyes open so I thought he was just super fucked up and saying weird shit. I told him "well, you better not try to." He walks away and then later my friend told me "oh yeah, he's gay. Guess he likes you." Most other times I just assumed they were a regular bar patron just talking to people like most people do. Until they start asking questions that make you feel like you're on a date or something. Then you notice they way they're looking at you, their body language. Then you notice their shoes, always their shoes. "Yup, only a gay dude would wear shoes like those." Sometimes you see their friends and that makes it obvious. Only once did one ever made bodily contact, touched my forearm, so I just deadpan said "ok, don't do that."

You don't have to be rude, usually you just give them a look and they get it. Never bothered me too much, they gotta try too I guess. So long as they don't try to touch me or push the issue after I make it clear "not happening ."

Doesn't seem weird to me at all, man. I don't know how anyone can do the "one night stand" going from one woman to the next kinda thing. But then again, I'm the furthest thing from a normal guy.

I'd definitely have to know someone way deeper than surface level before my mind made the huge jump to sex.

Those are some good tips, the gay shoes I might not have thought to look out for, but the styles have changed so much over the last 15 years that even what the normal straight guys are wearing anymore seem like gay shoes to me. Lol. And that seems to go for all modern styles and fashion in general, everything just looks gay now.

Those are some good tips, the gay shoes I might not have thought to look out for, but the styles have changed so much over the last 15 years that even what the normal straight guys are wearing anymore seem like gay shoes to me. Lol. And that seems to goes for all modern styles and fashion in general, everything just looks gay now.

Bold #1: Most guys don't seem to care, as long as she's attractive. I mean, I can see an attractive girl and think "yeah, id fuck the shit out of her" like any other guy, but if she walked up and said "let's fuck" I'd be like "umm, hold up a sec." I don't need to have a super deep connection, hell I never have with ANY of the girls I've had sex with, but being a total stranger is just weird. Only did that twice and it was more of a chore than it was enjoyable, other than knowing "ok, so I DO know I can get a woman off and it wasn't just that one girl" (as both those times were right after the girl I lost my virginity to). But it did wonders for my confidence. Then there were a couple I briefly dated after that. But I usually get looked at funny when I tell other dudes that, they don't care at all as long as she's attractive.

Bold #2: Yes, that is true. I think that used to be called metrosexual back in the day, but now it's just common style. Might not be a reliable predictor anymore.

Like I said earlier, I'm not a slut. I've only hooked up with a handful of women. Tried that before, made me uncomfortable because I don't know this chick. Guess I'm just weird like that.

As far as getting hit on by gay dudes, usually took a minute to figure it out because they weren't total flamers. I was hanging out with a lady friend of mine and her friends (but I knew them from school) and this one guy, absolutely shitfaced comes up and says "you're hot, I want to make out with you." He was swaying and barely had his eyes open so I thought he was just super fucked up and saying weird shit. I told him "well, you better not try to." He walks away and then later my friend told me "oh yeah, he's gay. Guess he likes you." Most other times I just assumed they were a regular bar patron just talking to people like most people do. Until they start asking questions that make you feel like you're on a date or something. Then you notice they way they're looking at you, their body language. Then you notice their shoes, always their shoes. "Yup, only a gay dude would wear shoes like those." Sometimes you see their friends and that makes it obvious. Only once did one ever made bodily contact, touched my forearm, so I just deadpan said "ok, don't do that."

You don't have to be rude, usually you just give them a look and they get it. Never bothered me too much, they gotta try too I guess. So long as they don't try to touch me or push the issue after I make it clear "not happening ."

Yeah I’ve been hit on by dudes a few times. Which I kinda find odd. I personally think I look the last person a gay dude would be attracted to. I’m short, I don’t dress particularly snazzy, a bit of a perma scowl, I probably look more like a guy that’s gonna steal your car. I won’t of course.

They were all cool about it when I told them no thanks I’m straight.

Well there was a kid in HS that essentially lunged at me like a fucken maniac. I had to punch that guy. He wasn’t very cool about it.

I have tons of fun married and felt pretty lonely single. I don't like partying or drinking or gambling though, could be my issue

Married with a baby - I train jiu jitsu, judo, the occasional kickboxing class, go to the gym, hit the range, and buy whatever I want - and I have a partner in crime to do everything with. Sure we squabble at times, but it's much better than be alone without someone that truly loves me.

Don't marry a crappy gal and it's not bad at all.

The funniest one was my old neighbor's friend. Not sure how I never realized he was gay, I'd seen and talked to him a bit because she always had her friends over. Well, I used to live in a 4-flat and there was a white board near the front door we'd leave notes on. Claire (my neighbor) texts me one night "go look at the white board." So I go out and look and it said "CastleBravo, how about dinner and a date? Love, Dalton." I didn't see them right away, but they were all standing right outside smoking a joint. I said out loud "what the fuck?" And then I hear them all bust out laughing. I go outside and I'm like "omg, that's hilarious!" Then Claire goes "Dalton heard you and just ran away." I said "why? Was he being serious?" "Yeah, he's gay. You didn't know that?" "No, guess I didn't notice." "Oh yeah, he's gay and he wants to go on a date with you!" And started laughing again.

I said "well that's flattering, but I ain't like that. Wait, so why did he run away?" "Oh heard you say 'what the fuck' and thought you were going to beat him up or something." "No, I don't care, it's just not happening. He didn't need to run lol!" Then we all had a good laugh.

Then next time I saw him he got all red. I was trying not to laugh. Nice enough guy though.

Honestly you seem like one of the more rational guys I've talked with about women and relationship stuff. Not that I resonate with everything you're saying, but I 100% agree with better than 60% of what you're saying, and the rest that I don't really get is a me problem (most likely). Usually I can't relate with even 20% of how most guys see things.

So I cast no judgment on you and how you're doing things, not that you should care at all if I did.

I really hope you do find that special someone some day and make that fully reciprocated connection. Luckily you still have a few years before you really might start loosing hope over the possibility. For me at 40 I have more than a bleak outlook with my issues.

Anyways, cheers to that! Not that I drink anymore.

No idea the price on those racing axes, I'm sure they aren't cheap though.

But anyways, even if she had the nicest personality I'd be very afraid to be held in the arms of a gorl as manly, or possibly more so manly than myself...

I do indeed greatly prefer the appearance of the feminine looking ones... You know, as long as I like them for other reasons besides their looks alone. That's just how I'm wired.

you'll tell her "be gentle, darlin'.  it's my first time."

you'll play hard to get and let her get you drunk on box wine and make it that much moar specialer.

i wood say if you are not at least 5'10" and 185-lbs then it could get awkward seeing that she is 5'10" and 185-lbs.

on the other hand you'd have a great story about poppin' your cherry with an Amazon aussie timbersports gorl.

Futurama - Death By Snu Snu


Cliff556:  so there i was...

i'm sure she has a former USFS single cab '72 F250 factory hi boy with 390 (it is oregon, after all) so you'll have to accept some dirty sweet lovemaking from the timbersports gorl on that plush bench seat (covered with a messican blanket from the truck stop) whilst she's using the rifle rack in the rear window for handles and grinding away.

[very enthusiastically]  Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

afterward y'all can stay up late, swappin' manly stories around the woodstove, and in the mornin', she's makin' waffles.

Thanks bud, cheers! Lol, I don't drink anymore either. Been 3 years, and almost 2 months. Been talking to Jaime on the dating site for a couple days now. Seems we have a good amount in common. At least enough that I'm gonna ask her out for coffee, see where that goes. We're both home bodies, don't socialize much, and we like doing outside stuff. Not sure how she feels about guns, but I'm not gonna bring that up right away. She has a cute, nerdy look to her, and she's pretty thin at 30 years of age. So we'll see what happens.

Unless I get catfished lol!

I'm not so sure. Dalton did dress up in a dress and a wig one Halloween. They were coming inside as I was walking out, I'm just like "hey how's it....oh, it's you!" Said to Claire "Dalton is a girl now?" "No, he's just dressed up." Lol, ok then! So maybe in that configuration (for midcap)...

Fun fact: Her Mom was my dental hygienist up until I was a teenager (she was the wife of one of my Dad's friends), but anyways, about 10 or so years ago in a Christmas card she sent to my parents, she maybe not so jokingly asked if I was still available for her daughter... This was shortly after she had just went through a divorce from her first husband. I'm not sure that my Mom ever got back to her on that, but I probably wouldn't have really considered it anyways since she had kids by that point.

I think her Mom always hoped her daughter had went with me over the guys she ended up with. I wasn't bad looking around that time and I still had most of my hair... I even wore jeans back then, lol. We might have made a good match. Just thinking about it all here recently makes me kind of sad.

@556cliff

Bro plenty of ways to reconnect with her if that’s what you so desire.  Facebook, twitter, getting her address from your mom.  Go for it man nothing stopping you. Worst case she’s taken or don’t work out.

No worse regret in life than not going after something you want.  Could be a job, woman, sport ect.

When I think about it I can safely say that's really all I've ever wanted out of life. Fantasized about it since the first time I ever felt feelings for a girl (7th grade, I think). Just always seemed like the most magical thing that could happen to a person.  Really thought I would have had at least 1 special relationship by now, even if it didn't last. Sometimes I wonder if the lack of that in my life has anything to do with my extremely cynical outlook on the world. Used to bother me a lot, then I got used to it. Maybe it never happened because I wasn't actually ready, still needed to do work on myself. Been a very transformative last 4 or 5 years for me, and I'm still changing for the better. Guess going through hell will do that to you if you channel it into productivity instead of letting it destroy you. In my life I've found out that everything happens for a reason, even negative things. Kind of gave up on the whole idea for a while, but now I think it's time I start trying again. So I am.

Sometimes I wonder if the lack of that in my life has anything to do with my extremely cynical outlook on the world. Used to bother me a lot, then I got used to it. Maybe it never happened because I wasn't actually ready, still needed to do work on myself. Been a very transformative last 4 or 5 years for me, and I'm still changing for the better.

I'm single and came damn near to selling everything to buy a sprinter van and live down by the river all across the country. But cancer struck and I came to realize that I need a home base, so I decided not to sell my house for the van and I'm still living in my house. Probably a good thing because as I'm getting older, I realize I would be tired of living in a van down by the river. Anyway, I have no wife to tell me no, so I'm broke as shit, but I have lots of cools toys to play with until I'm dead.

i wood say if you are not at least 5'10" and 185-lbs then it could get awkward seeing that she is 5'10" and 185-lbs.

on the other hand you'd have a great story about poppin' your cherry with an Amazon aussie timbersports gorl.

Cliff556:  so there i was...

i'm sure she has a former USFS single cab '72 F250 factory hi boy with 390 (it is oregon, after all) so you'll have to accept some dirty sweet lovemaking from the timbersports gorl on that plush bench seat (covered with a messican blanket from the truck stop) whilst she's using the rifle rack in the rear window for handles and grinding away.

[very enthusiastically]  Have you seen what she wears? Forget about it. Have you ever been with a warrior woman?

afterward y'all can stay up late, swappin' manly stories around the woodstove, and in the mornin', she's makin' waffles.

No, luckily I'm 6'-2", but other than that my genetics overall aren't all that great. Weight for one (though I've tried to stay on top of things), has ranged wildly over the years, I've ranged from an almost anorexic looking 197 Lbs. in 2006 to 278 lbs. in 2013. I went hard at loosing weight and managed to stay around 225 +/- 10 Lbs. since 2015. Though over this last Winter something changed because I gained more than I have in a while. It's coming back down as I get busier with work and am more active in the nicer weather of Spring and Summer, but it's either my age catching up with me or something going on with my health because I've been having some very odd issues for a while now... Not going to get into that really, but I've been in and out of the doctors for a while now trying to figure things out.

Now I will say that I'd enjoy some good waffles with real maple syrup, but it sounds like the experience leading up to that would probably be the end of me. I mean, those shackled guys with the crushed pelvises in that Futurama clip didn't look like they made it to the waffles.

I think I can easily do without the box wine and Amazonian/timbersports gorl love-down and just make the waffles myself and probably be better off.

Not sure how she feels about guns, but I'm not gonna bring that up right away. She has a cute, nerdy look to her, and she's pretty thin at 30 years of age. So we'll see what happens.

Unless I get catfished lol!

I don't need to have a super deep connection, hell I never have with ANY of the girls I've had sex with, but being a total stranger is just weird. Only did that twice and it was more of a chore than it was enjoyable, other than knowing "ok, so I DO know I can get a woman off and it wasn't just that one girl" (as both those times were right after the girl I lost my virginity to). But it did wonders for my confidence. Then there were a couple I briefly dated after that. But I usually get looked at funny when I tell other dudes that, they don't care at all as long as she's attractive.

Bold #2: Yes, that is true. I think that used to be called metrosexual back in the day, but now it's just common style. Might not be a reliable predictor anymore.


Honestly you seem like one of the more rational guys I've talked with about women and relationship stuff. Not that I resonate with everything you're saying, but I 100% agree with better than 60% of what you're saying, and the rest that I don't really get is a me problem (most likely). Usually I can't relate with even 20% of how most guys see things.

So I cast no judgment on you and how you're doing things, not that you should care at all if I did.

I really hope you do find that special someone some day and make that fully reciprocated connection. Luckily you still have a few years before you really might start loosing hope over the possibility. For me at 40 I have more than a bleak outlook with my issues.

Anyways, cheers to that! Not that I drink anymore.

Yeah I've always wondered what would be the way to bring up the fact that you like/own guns to women... Probably best avoided at first and just try to get what her views are as the relationship goes along. But at the same time it's such a big part of my life that I don't see how the topic could be avoided for long. For me, if I was setting up a dating profile I think I'd have to mention it as a hobby at the least to only appeal to women that have no issues with it.

Good luck on the date!

Yeah, I kinda figure it's best to allow her to get to know me first so she doesn't just automatically assume I'm some crazy nutjob with guns, because it seems a lot of women do think that. Show her you can be chill and down to earth. The three C's: calm, cool, and collected, which you want to give off anyway so you don't scare them away. They have all sorts of little tests for that. I wouldn't be surprised if a woman just flat out asks if I own any, as I'm sure I seem like kinda guy who would. Shit, when I worked at the restaurant this newbie and I were sitting in the break room. It was maybe is 3rd or 4th day. I hadn't interacted with him too much. Out of nowhere he just goes "you seem like the sort of guy who likes weapons, you ever seen this?" And brings up the XL18 flamethrower.

I could totally see this happening: Go with her to my bedroom for the first time. Her: "OH MY GOD! IS THAT REAL???" "Is what real? " "That!" "What are you talking about? " "That thing on the nightstand!" "Oh, THAT! Uh, yeah, of course it's real." "Why do you have that?" "We'll darling, let me explain...." Then at the end "here, want to hold it? "
