lmao sounds like the typical beta. if you're on here long enough OP you'll notice how the clueless guys always get mad and riled up when faced with the truth instead of just discussing things calmly. Their arguments devolve into calling everyone FAs, virgins, then they marry some festival sloot, get divorced 6 months later and continue on with their garbage or disappear.

I'm 38 and I believe there is a lot of truth in what the old man is telling you. The world around us has changed a lot, but in the scope of human development/evolution 2 generations is equivalent to nothing. The mating game is the same. In person, human to human interaction is something totally different than looking at 2D photographs or reading letters and words on a screen/page. No matter how high quality pr0n you are watching it will NEVER give you the feeling of a woman's lips on your tip: tfw even when 4/10 nowadimsayin'?

I'm not going to get into my experiences and protips, only supporting the old guy here.

Ok one story: In person I can invite a group of 20 year olds to a party. Online, not so much.

Me: Hey, mind if I come in here (some interesting seating in a bar/lounge)
Girls: No problem boyo (mirin' gainz)
Me: Standard blah blah, whatchu doin' here...
Girls: We're all studying English
Me: Oh you don't say, I'm a native speaker
Girls: Where do you live?
Me: Like 4 blocks away
Girls: You should have a party
Me: I am already, lots of Expats coming, it's on such and such a date...

Grandpa is right. He probably has a brass set and full of confidence, something I see lacking on these boards.

Sorry I didn't know where else to post this. How do I make a thread?? I've reached a point in my life where I'm unhappy with the person I have become. I'm 19 years old, and have had next to no experience with women. I have barely been intimate with a girl, so I'm very much a virgin. I've only ever kissed one girl, and that was over 7 months ago. It was a horrible experience, and has made me avoid opportunities. I am very inexperienced. How do you even kiss? I also have very low confidence and self esteem. Right now I'm so deep in my comfort zone that I can't get out of it. And I'm drier than a desert. The reason why I've ended up like this is because I was always that kid who studied really hard. It has paid off, and I now attend one of the world's most prestigious universities. I tend to always shut off parties and girls so I can focus on my studies. I also play sports and do gym, so I'm quite athletic. And I know I'm not a bad looking guy. I notice girls checking me out whenever I'm out, but just don't have the confidence to do anything about it because I'm so inexperienced. I haven't started thinking about this until recently, because my parents are worried that I don't have a girl yet. I know that if I continue at this rate, I will never get laid, and will end up forever alone, even though I'll have my M.D. My parents will be heartbroken if I don't give them grandchildren. And finally, girls always show interest in me initially, as they message me on ******** sometimes, and I find that I never get very far, and they stop replying, so I'm doing something very wrong. While I may be going for my M.D, and play sports and all that good stuff, and I'm proud of that, but I have no idea when it comes to women. That part of my life is basically non-existent. I have no idea what to say to girls, and no idea how to be intimate. It's not looking good, and I have become depressed because of this. I've thought that instead of being depressed every day, it might be a good idea just to accept that I will be single for a very very long time, and just shut off that part of me, and focus on staying fit, and most importantly on my studies. How do I escape this? Because I'm having a hard time trying to accept this fate

You should not forget about war.

In the olden days of granddad prime young men were sent to war and never came back.

For example over 400.000 American soldiers died in World War 2. But those were at a prime dating age.

In Europe the numbers were even higher. And before World War 2 was World War 1.

How many men returned crippled, burned, disfigured on top of that?

How many young women died in the same time period?

Am i the only one seeing how that could have worked in Granddad's favor?

that is an interesting point. never thought about that.

Grandpa is as stupid as the miscers who think it's easy to pull women. If it were so easy there would be NO FA's or LDAR. If it were so easy most of the traffic on the misc would disappear because guys would easily be able to find there looks match.
If you have negative comments about guys who struggle to attract woman seriously do everyone a favor, take your crown off and jump out the window.

Can confirm.

Grandpa picked me up in his car, only had enough money for dinner. I was hot back then.

lol
