I dunno, I mean, let me put this in no uncertain terms: I have NEVER had a girlfriend, ever. Worse yet, I don't thinkmi want one. I just don't know what I want in life. I been laid, a few times, poorly. I'm not good at sex, they didn't moan or scream or anything. Some girls in my apartment complex, I can hear them screaming and shit even just walking in the corridor. I just don't have any ambition in that area. I mean, are some dudes just BORN to be alone? The proverbial planets weren't aligned to grant me success in that area? Good athlete, when younger? Check. Smart as he'll? Check. Good singer? Yep, I can blow. But chicks? I SUCK at it.MrMan wrote: ↑April 27th, 2025, 6:02 pmIf your mom and your grandma aren't on the forum, you probably won't get any pressure here to get married. And 38 isn't a bad age for a man to marry. Depending on your looks, accomplishments, and charm, a man your age could date and marry from 18 up to past your own age. There are also plenty of women who might be content with a man who doesn't chase them around the bedroom who save sex for special occasions. But you need to go into marriage with a mindset that you will meet her needs if they are more demanding than your own.. You know, "It's a tough job, but someone has to do it."Rygar1 wrote: ↑April 27th, 2025, 4:58 pmThank you for that detailed reply. I think it just boils down to a biological clock that's ticking, as well as other factors Wu has stated, making me question all this. I think, especially people my age, with all this social media hyperconnectivity plays a part as well. Comparing yourself to others, keeping up with the joneses etc..I mean EVERYBODY is married. A 38 year old with a handful of experience is a effing joke. Women are gonna think there's something wrong with you. I just never seemed to have a lot of 'get up and go'. Can you relate? Do you ever just want to be alone? You can masturbate and have orgasms.MrMan wrote: ↑April 27th, 2025, 3:32 pmMy wife and I are both Christians and don't believe in sex outside of marriage to have sex. My wife is really beautiful, too. I just wanted it every day or night, especially as a newly wed. It feels really good, especially when you learn your partner and get into the rhythm of it. But yeah, periods. Most of the time I was getting 'release' every day and intercourse every other day as part of that for two years, or more than that until my wife got late into the pregnancy of our first child. Then she had the hormonal issues with post partum, breast feeding, and the tiredness, oxytocin overload from the baby, and after she healed up, maybe a mere two or three times a week, with some non-intercourse release thrown in. But it depends on what age we are talking about, too. There were times it was more frequent than others. I could still go for every night, but as they age, women can have various health issues and periods can become erratic. They also get sore, can get sore, even if they are young, if they get jack hammered towards the end of it, and her muscles can get sore if you coax her into accepting multiple releases until she's kind of worn out, and she may need a day to recover, and as you get older a session can take a while for a man, and that can wear a woman out. My thinking is lots of sex is good for a marriage.Rygar1 wrote: ↑April 27th, 2025, 10:52 amI dont dispute it, man. Married 10 years equals 3650 days, minus, I dunno, 1500 or so she's on her period would indeed equal 2000. But most of the studies I've read suggest that married couples, ltr's etc, aren't having daily sex, far fewer in fact. I mean, I don't know if there reliable or not, but most stated it was only 150 or so days a year. That's less than half.
Imaging someone penetrating a vagina 2000 times, again, is just unfathomable. Reading that made me physically unwell. I've penetarated 3 or 4 , handful of blowies. I mean, all joking aside, and I mean this sincerely, IS THERE SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME? Are there just dramatic individual differences in sex drive? Where does the motivation come from? I'm really interested in the psychological dynamics. I think it's clear that a 38 yr old man whose never had a girlfriend, a paltry amount of sex, and perhaps little motivation to actively seek these things out, isn't 'normal'. Really, I'd like to change, but just don't know how or where to start. Any advices is HUGELY appreciated.
But, somewhere between one or two thousand (or more) over decades... not sure why that would be nauseating. Sex every night still sounds fun to me in my 50's, and something I could do at this point if I have the time, though my body doesn't feel like it 'demands' it that much these days.
I think that is the incel version of the 'red pill.' Red pill is this ideology about women. It's hard to articulate, but it is something along the ideas that civilization being set up in a gynocentric way. Women are hypergamous, and like men that other women find attractive. Some of it may have to do with pick up artist philosphy about how women treat men who treat them negatively, and all kinds of other stuff about women. A lot of women dump men and take half their stuff. The metaphor is from Alice in Wonderland, and more recently the Matrix, where taking the red pill opens one up to reality or wonderland, and the blue pill is status quo. Blue pill men in this metaphor accept ideas from feminism.Again, what is the black pill?
If I understand correctly the Black pill is the idea that it is hopeless for the individual who swallows it. Women will never like him. He can't get ahead. All women are bad. It's kind of like MGTOW, except a bit darker. Incel means involuntary celibate, but it is also a term used for this black pill ideology that no matter what happens a woman will not be attracted to you as a man, if you aren't a 'Chad' or a 'Tyrone' who gets all the girls.
I think I'm just a lazy person, tbh. I mean I'm just lazy. Shit, I've gotten numbers galore, and most of the time, I don't call because I'm too damn lazy and unmotivated to do so. I live inside my head alot. It's hard to get yourself out of a rut.
This blackpill stuff seems like a lot of vague nonsense. I mean, there may be SOME truth to it, but, like a lot things, it gets exaggerated. I think a lot these dudes have serious mental health issues only a professional would be able help. I have some hang up, though. I don't really trust a lot of people, especially women, I don't know why, I just don't trust them. There's prob some unconscious stuff going on there.
I would be interested in any tips or hacks to improve though(location, language, etc.)
Women single at 38? That's a different story. Some of them still have their young looks at that age, but the wall is approaching. Getting pregnant is harder. If a man wants kids, that's not a very appealing age for a woman to be.
I mean where do you really start? What baby steps can I take?
2000 times! Wow.
