Almost 30M

Hi guys almost 30 and I think I will never get a girlfend. I feel like it might be do to watching porn. And I feel like a loser even though I feel tall fake and abs that doesn’t suggest that I can’t get a girlfriend since I asked a girl and that’s the first time I ever cried.

I guess feel somewhat attracted to her but she with someone else so I guess that will never happen with me and her. But I have officially given up with girls because I am to afraid of rejection but I had this same thoughts over and over and i am ******* done with.

I know guys who are older been in this situation but I feel like I am ready for a relationship but I am scared to know what’s that is like.

One girl rejected you and you think this means you will never get a girlfriend?

If you are going to give up on relationships because you are afraid of rejection then so be it. That is a choice you have made.

Or you could learn to deal with rejection instead in running away from life.

You said you have a fear of rejection?
What’s worse the fear of rejection or the fear of being alone?

The reality is your mindset is dragging you down. It’s not hard to attract unless you’re not sane yourself. Get out there, women in your workplace, women on the street go be polite and put yourself out there.


Quit porn nothing good will come out of it.

I know it’s easier said than done but this is how it is. Make a plan and do it.

Also don’t align your age to your goals. Some people get married at 18 some at 50 and some don’t at all. Take it to your own pace.

I thought there might benefits of quitting porn. As I want to quit porn for good but I keep coming back to it and it is just boring now. How do I get my mind of it as all I can do be productive as possible and be out of my room as much if possible.

But nothing really seems to work but the only girl I ever asked out was at work and I cried after rejected me but not in front off her because that would really bad on me.

oh bloody hell. i feel bad for you but the people in the comments are really bloody dumb, telling you it’s over and crap like that . how bloody dramatic. if you’re nearly 30 you’re still young idc and girls like older men anyways. if you’re so sad about just one rejection then that’s a you problem because everyone gets rejected. if it’s constant rejections then focus on yourself a little or even ask why you got rejected (will be a v awkward convo tho but could be helpful) and get back out there. bloody hell the comments are dramatic. lots of girls are attracted to hot older guys i swr. if anything, rly young guys are ugly and immature. be better than those dumb young guys who only care about sex. also STOP WATCHING PORN

Lol sorry if it came across as bitter, it's just not been my experience, when I was growing up it was pretty common for girls our age to go for guys 10+ years older, but the climate over the last few years + social media means even 20+ year olds tend to be repulsed by the idea of going out with guys even a few years older. You're an exception to the rule and definitely not the majority.
