Decent dude but there is zero connection, and like i said studies prove that you have to spend 40-60 hours wit someone to even be a casual friend.

you should learn to enjoy being around nobody and love yourself first.

second, you attract what you put out there. try to put some more positive energy out there, start small. could be as simple as smiling at a stranger.

you can't force real relationships.

The only problem I have is when I first initially met people is I'm pretty quiet and reserved. Once I get to know someone better though I open up more test their boundaries and crack jokes. I have always been quiet ever since I was kid but I'll just force myself into social situations so I'm forced to talk.

I’m somewhat in your position op. I have literally 1-2 friends now. Lost most of my friends due to having kids/getting married. They were my real bros before. We’d lift together, eat out, have guys nights getting yucky at the bar but all that is gone now and I’m down to 2 single friends that don’t even go out and boring to hang out with.

Try joining a Meetup group. This is what I’m going to try again

Fkn this. Have the charisma, sense of humor and confidence, and within an hour you should be having more friends. One of my brahs who I hang out with on a daily has the ability to make friends asap wherever he goes because of his personality/the reason above.

Bro i'm not even trying to troll i just have standards for people. I'll pretty much talk to any dude as long as he is introvert or has some hobbies that i do. But i wouldn't date a girl unless she is fit attractive/cute. I'm top 10%in looks so i can't be attracted to anything less. Why do you think i am trolling just because i want a 7/10 fit girl? I'm not asking for a super model or anything.

I have no idea how to invite people to do things. I can talk to them. But the majority of my activities are the gym and I don't like to drink. The friends I do have are married and mostly don't go out and do fun stuff as much any more so there's not even events I can be like "hey some friends and I are going to do X this weekend, wanna come?"

So pretty much anything I'd ask them to do would be 1 on 1 and it just feels very homo asking someone you don't know in that way.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Bro i see what you're saying. It's pretty homo to ask a dude to hang out when you get older. Like i said in the OP you need to spend many hours with that person before you can do that. When i was younger i used to meet people in retail and we would hang out a couple days after we met sometimes. It's not the same when you get our age that's for sure.

College aged people are always willing to hang out and are always single. I used to go to concerts with coworkers often.

Working in sales I've been rejected over thousands of times. So when it comes to a social setting and Im trying to approach/say jokes and it doesn't get a positive reaction. It doesn't affect me.

Well then you've answered your own question, haven't you? The solution is to work on yourself so you acquire self-esteem, not constantly make excuses as to why you can't. But you refuse.

Why don't you want to be friends with them? You don't even know them.

Then why are you asking how people make friends? You know they do it by talking to people, which you don't want to do. So how can you wonder why you aren't making friends?

No you can't. Not all the time anyway. Sometimes you have to get to know people.

Again, why are you asking how people make friends? You know full well you won't make friends by avoiding people lol.

Yes, it is a cool hobby. I know a guy who has made real friends by doing this. And he doesn't even live in a country with storms! He travels to America when he can do to this. And he still made friends via this hobby.

I don't understand the whole talking to people who you're only interested in. How do you know they're interesting if you don't talk to them? Generally people have "auras" about them and you're probably putting out a douchey/creeper one. There's a lot of times where I think certain people are douches just from the way they look but after talking to them they turned out to be cool guys.

Plus if you only like people because of their external features and begin talking to them only because of that then your friendship isn't going very far. I don't think I've ever made a friend just because I think they look good. That'd be homo as fukk cuzz.

The anti-social thing I can understand because I hate talking to people in general too. People will tell me I'm very quiet IRL but the fact of the matter is I'm about the loudest person in the room when I'm with people I'm comfortable with. Often times I have to get myself out of my own comfort zone to start talking to people and then it stops being a forced thing but rather natural because the conversation captivates me in some way. Then I've got a new pal. Easy as that.
Wish I could get over this. I'm ****ty at making friends. Very easy/open to talk to/love listening to what people have to say but it seems like whenever I try to connect with people nobody wants to hang out.

Deep down I want to surround myself with people "as good as" me or people that are trying to improve themselves. I judge people pretty hard. A lot of people I'm around at my part time job (bartending) love going out to drink/party and smoke and I just see it as wasting life away. IDK.

I guess I just feel that I work hard (7 days a week, 2 jobs) gym 5-6 days a week, 2 degrees and don't really like partying/drinking - studying towards another designation and just netflix in my free time.

Idk maybe I talk about myself too much or some ****, all this stuff I do, I guess I'm bad at making random conversation about other stuff and peoples interest

I'm at least a 7/10 i have many pictures to confirm this.

I cannot be happy lowering my standards bro. If i befriend other FA dudes or guys that only play video games it doesn't open any doors. If i date 5/10's it only makes me depressed. Actually i wouldn't even date a 5/10. Or a 6/10.

I've never had a friend that wasn't an FA. In 29 years.

I was like this too, but recently we started going our own ways in life. Some became hippies, some rotters, etc.
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.
