28M given up on a girlfriend

Hi guys i have offically given up on getting a girlfriend because I try my best to look the best version of myself. I focus on other things like my career and having on having job interviews.

And I'm planning on moving out some day soon which seems to be a ball ache. As I know renting is quit expensive these days I'm planning on saving money from job to invest in something.

Rather than waste it on rent and electrical bills, but hope to be living on my own I just feel like a bit of a loser living at home.

Yeah pretty much I don't know if I want a full-time GF or just to sleep around. But even that's impossible. But I gave up on getting girlfriend as it doesn't happen. Tired of acting desperate or a simp
another painful reminder
If is fine that you don’t want to have a relationship. Focus on doing things that make you happy.

You are 28 years old living at home with parents and complaining about not having a gf. If you were a girl, would you want to have a bf who is 28 and living at home with his parents?

Your first move is to leave your parent’s house and live elsewhere. You can share a house with other flatmates.

Second, you should improve yourself by going to the gym and doing other activities.

Finally, start sourcing and approaching women.

Good luck

Appreciate the advice it's just that it is difficult to move out as you have to get a job first and then get a flat in which you would have some income.i have been trying to move out. hopefull, it will be in Bristol.

I have a job already at my local pub Which is good pay. Good save it up and plan to move. However, a barrier is my family treat me differently as I have special needs which makes it harder for me to leave.

I can stand on my ground to leave the house unless I get a job that's from their statement. But its not up to them when I leave I will leave on my own terms how see fit. With or without a job.

First, it is positive that you are looking to move out. I think your family would be confident if you can show them that you have the independence to live outside of the home.

You could start by living with a mate and sharing bills, then you can progress to your own spot.

To the point about women, you have to continue to put yourself out there. Speak to women, try to be friendly and ask them out. Hopefully, you connect with one and the rest would be history.

Good luck
yeah, because for all time, if you're a guy, you are never owed a relationship, only women are owed a relationship

No one is owed a relationship.

One reason why some men struggle is the combination of misogyny and self-pity that you display. Few women consider these to be desirable traits in men.

Yawn 😵
even if a man has a better attitude, has the complete opposite attitude or mindset of what i have, he is still more at risk than women are at being chronically alone/single or a virgin later than normal, i think even genetic research studies have confirmed that more women than men have passed on their genes/dna throughout human history.

I'd still give it a few more years and until my magical girlfriend is meant to happen to me until then I'm just focusing on myself. Improving health and fitness and finding different jobs rather then washing dishes for the next for few more years.
