I was agreeing with all of that, right up to the link, lol

I can only do so much. Might as well link to a place full of people who were once incel virgins, and are now living their best life. If somebody wants to change, that's a good place to go to read stories on how other people have done it. A good portion of it is indeed misogynistic, but like, pick and choose your poison here. You want to die a virgin, or start developing some misogynistic techniques in order to self-improve and attract women.

There are a bit of darkness w/ the light. That's the essence of life. The Yin cannot exist without the Yang.

I will admit I am VERY surprised by the honest responses in this topic. I always just assumed GameFaqs grew up and become stable adults. I guess the majority of the "normied" or whatever migrated over to Reddit or Social Media with age increase. So GameFaqs was left to the "underground" or whatever.

I don't know. I'm just surprised is all.

I've been talking to several users in private who have DM'ed me looking for advice, and I just don't have anything that is a mircale drug or whatever. Life isn't "6 minute abs" it takes work - but it all starts with self-love, self-respect. The world is NOT going to change, so you need to change yourself. However, when doing this one needs to realize that YOU are NOT the problem - it is the world that is the problem. It feeds you lies, and tells you to behave a certain way in order to suceed - but its all bullshit. If you do what the world tells you to do, you'll be forever a doormat.

It is a strange concept, because you are both accepting responsibility and displacing the blame at the same time. Typically when somebody gives somebody else the whole "self improvement" schtick, it involves accepting responsibility for one's actions, to look at one's life, and be like I am the reason I am unhappy - this is my fault. That is true to an extent, but it doesn't build self-esteem, it doesn't build self-worth, and is also frankly pathetic, beta, and unattractive.

Recognizing the the world has been feeding you lie. All that shit it tells you makes for a well adjusted, well respectful, successful, attracted person...it is all bullshit. If you recognize the BS for what it is, then you can actually change yourself for the better. Take responsibility for yourself, and legitimately self-improve, and take the steps necessary to give you the best chance at success/happiness...but don't ever blame yourself. Recognizing that nobody else is going to change for you, and you are going to have to rescue yourself is NOT the same as accepting responsibility for your current predicament. All you are doing is finally seeing the light. You are finally seeing the world as it is - in the terms of the Matrix you are taking the red pill.

You are NOT worthless. You have a lot to offer. You have talents that other people do not. These talents can and should make you money. You would make a great boyfriend, husband, and father! The only reason you don't have these things is because you did NOT know how to get them. You were not properly taught how to conquer the real world. You were fed lies by society, and you paid the price for it. However, NOT anymore. You are going to self-improve, get your shit together, and conquer life like a fucking alpha gorilla!

It starts with NOT giving a fuck about anyone but yourself (that's hyperbole, but always put yourself first, no matter what) - you are going to get in the gym and get yourself in shape, you are going to save your money, you are going spend that money on yourself to improve your image, and you are going to find out what you are good at, and find a way to make money out of it.

If you need to move someplace else in order to give yourself a fresh start, then that's what you are going to do. If you need to delete your Facebook and start over with new friends who don't know your oneself then that's what you are going to do. if you need to change your name to keep you from identifying w/ the failures of your past self, well fuck, that's why we have three names; drop your first or last and substitute it w/ your middle. If you are too physically meek, and need to learn how to fight to be confident around others, then by fucking golly you are going to join a jiu jitsu gym and fucking learn how to choke people out.

Just because you "shouldn't" have to go through all of this reinvention bullshit to be happy, doesn't mean that you won't. You still will go through it. You still will play society's petty game, and confirm to it's views of attractiveness to get ahead. You will do it - but you will also keep taking the red pill, and realize that society and its social structures are full of shit. You won't lose the soul of what makes you who you are, but you will be placing that soul into a new image, and you will be living a different life.

You will be happy. Go fucking do it Gamefaqs.

Facebook can't win. The Republicans go after them for imposed censorship, and Dems go after them for not censoring enough.

I'm of the POV that I'd rather the hate groups and various extremist/controversial groups/figures on all sides be left uncensored.

Let them express their nutso views, let them destroy themselves. People are adults, they don't need to be protected from potential dangerous ideology by big business of all people.

Deplatforming controversial views is not going to stop it. It's just going to radicalize it more. Let it exist, and allow other people to point and laugh at it.

That's really not true. Anyone can talk. But not everyone has the wit. What do you do if you don't know what to say? You can't just ramble about nonsense. If you have no wit, you have no wit. If just talking works, how do you know you're improving? Is the girl going to give you a an annual review of how you did? Hell no. You won't even know if she's interested or not. And yes I do want to improve and learn. You just can't learn something that is unlearnable. Name one person who went from being a socially awkward dude to a stud.

What's your solution then? Start talking to people? Give me a break lmao

This self defeating behavior is why you can't get a date dude. It's not that you aren't good enough to attract others, it's that for whatever reason you go out of your way to present yourself in an unattractive manner.

You need to self improve yourself. How can you be good enough for others if you aren't even good enough for yourself?

Giving up, and just waiting to die is NOT the answer.

I suggest finding a friend like yourself. And creating a game between eachother. Put up money or games as bets. Who can talk to the most people at a mall. Who can hold the longest conversation at a bar, etc.

Do it together. Have a conversation between yourselves. Try to bring a third pay into it. Don't do it alone.

Either being diagnosed by a professional or pure happan chance most of the time. From my personal experience, I didnt know I had it until my late twenties.

As such while casual talk with woman isnt a problem for me advancing the relationship beyond that I honestly have no idea. Doesn't help that it's generally something guys are expected to know. Media romanticizes it in a unrealistic manner, and any guys who try to do so teach it proper outside of locker rooms are viewed negatively.

This guy gets it.

The Aspergers/Austitic folk I've seen heard about self-improving in order to attract a mate typically do so by playing a character. Treating it like a form of cosplay. Overtime the "confident Wall Street latin lover" or whatever the fuck rubs off on then to some degree.

I like how people are trying to "fix" others in this thread. there's nothing to fix, a lot of them have stated that they're not interested

A lot of the reasons why it's hard to improve is because of social skills. social skills is not an attribute that you can accumulate. You either have it or you don't, it is something that you are born with. If you think otherwise, remember something. There are no social skills classes, social skills do not grow on trees. There's no way you can improve them.

This is false and self defeating thinking. You can improve your social skills. It's just takes practice, and a willingness to want to improve. Seek out others to help you, there are support groups for this. Find someone in your city, become friends, and go practice together.

27. There are so many reasons why.

* Struggled with depression since freshman year of high school, and as a fun side effect I really missed out on learning a lot of the social skills most people have
* Said depression lead to me dropping out of college after the first year, further missing out on social experiences
* I did finally return to college and graduate but I commuted instead of living on or near campus so I never bothered to really get involved with anything
* Still live with my parents at 27 and with no likely prospects of a full time job that won't be changing in the near future
* I'm 5'11 and probably pushing 240 pounds now
* I'm losing my hair already which is just another cherry on top
* Have no friends or social life to speak of other than this board and some Discord servers
* Social anxiety combined with the lack of social skills leaves me pretty much unable to really connect with anybody
* Personality of a block of wood so I can't even fall back on that to make up for being an unattractive, poor, fat sack of shit

It's just never gonna happen and I've accepted that.

Join a gym. Save your money. Spend the money on yourself. Treat life as if its a movie, and you are an actor. The part you are playing is that of a confident, STOIC, badass.

I bolded stoic, because thats the personality that "blocks of wood" need to portray to appear sexy and desirable to women. Stoicism is the practice of both being indifferent to the things that are happening around you, and realizing that due to this indifference whatever negative thoughts the plague you arent really all that meaningful - therefore they don't matter.

Try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRedPill/comments/6s4mfa/i_have_been_practicing_stoicism_for_3_years_now/

If thats too confusing then just start acting like you don't actually care - and then you wont. That's attractive.

Uh... I know from browsing here that some people want many notches on their belt as a goal. I guess if that's your goal it's fine, but after taking that journey, why did you stop and settle at access to women and not just a wife?

I was engaged twice. The first didn't work out because I thought being engaged meant that we were equals. I once again became too nice, started putting her needs above my own, and she eventually just lost attraction got bored of me.

I'm engaged currently, and I am living and dying by the concept of Hypergamy, so it's going all right. However, I long for a time when I'll no longer have to always portray myself as superior. I'd like to be on equal ground at some point, but every time I've tried its caused great turmoil and almost led to a demise in the relationship. Things like trying to talk about my feelings, or wanting to open up about my past trauma, being sad/depressed, or when I lost my job due to Covids - these things were portrayed as weakness.

Men who are successful with women do NOT open up about their feelings, because they rightfully don't trust women to be able to handle them - women tend to negatively judge men for whatever it is they decide to share. This is why you always hear women complain that "men don't talk about their feelings" because the ones that do get friendzoned. The ones that don't are the ones women are attracted to - its an allure of mystery and strength.

If you open up to your girlfriend and start talking about how sad you are, or how hopeless you feel her instincts are going to kick in, and she's going to subconsciously start doubting you as a long term mate. It is what it is.

That's kind of the motto I live by. It's why women are attracted to men who ignore them. No matter where I go wrong, as long as I based my various reinventions and strategies around this concept, I seem to be able to always "right the horse"

Evolving like that works for some people, it's not a universal truth though

I mean, its a journey.

I still get stuck in my head thinking of all the girls I could of had sex with. I use to have girls throw themselves at me - like I'd have girls invite me over to their rooms, and somehow I'd still end up friendzoning myself. I had a girl actually take off her cloths immediately upon entering her room once, and then invite me into the shower - and somehow, against all odds I still found a way to friendzone myself before sex happened. It not just physical - it is how you act. It is the aura that your portray. Your presence creates the atmosphere, which is used to set the mood.

I wouldn't consider myself a ladies man by any means. I still somehow find myself overwhelmed at times, and reverting to my previous simpy behavior (cost me foursome in Vegas) - my personality is just like all of you guys at my core. It takes a conscious effort to portray myself as "Top Shit" - but for the past 12 years I've been able to have sex with at least 4 different woman a year, granted I was not in a committed relationship. If you want me to give an actual number, I'd say its something like 40-45 women.

But yea, I still have my relapses, self doubts, and dry spots. You just have to keep on trying my man. Keep picking yourself up, keep reinventing yourself.

I love how none of this true, otherwise I would be the proof it works, it doesn't.

Worked for me. Well I was always in shape, but like, girls have reverse beer goggles. I was always built like a rock. Tall, abs, athletic, and actual high school & collegiate star athlete. However, I was an awkward nerd. I didn't know how to dress, talk, behave, etc.

I use to look myself in the mirror and be like, WTF is wrong with me, I look like an abercrombie model. But all girls saw was a nerdy loser.

Truth be told I cheated a bit, and started going clubbing where none of my awkwardness mattered, and drunk girls were only looking at my physical attributes. However, even that took a while. I use to hide in the corner, and whenever a girl would talk to me I'd sabotage myself and dip out. It took getting "taken advantage of" by some drunken college girl to finally loosen up.

I started going to the club every night, tossing my glasses in my pocket, and going out to the dance floor and acting a fool. Girls came. However, I was still too self-conscious to actually chat with them. I use to go straight to the dance floor, and just start tapping girls shoulders and asking them to dance. I got real good at it. Would make our with several girls a night, but outside the club I couldn't get a single girl to look at me.

I was just too awkward. Once a girl got to know me I was immediately unattractive. I was just too nice. I was basically a doormat that didn't offer her anything in return. I wasn't rich, I couldn't give her status, and I didn't make her feel butterflies because I just wasn't sexy in anything but appearance...and if you arent emotionally sexy, then eventually a girl isn't going to view you as physically attractive anymore either.

Thus, I started being more confident. I started acting like I was somebody. I started being arrogant. I loved myself, and I left everyone know it. The girls never stopped coming, they still haven't. It's all about appearance - girls need to know that you are a "catch", they are going to look at you like some expensive purse to show off, so don't fight it, just be the purse. If she's out looking for Chanel, then be Gucci.

I'm broke, only 5"4 & mentally ill.

Try concentrating on just one problem at a time. I'd suggest the "broke" portion. Sell what you can and take a risk on an investment. Bitcoin seems stable, but it can really be anything at all. If you need to "get rich quick" then take the leap my man. If it works out for you then your mental health will improve dramatically. If it doesn't, well, at least you tried - the effort alone will probably leave you in a better place than you are now.

For instance. Move into your car, sublet your apartment out. Work double shifts at whatever job you have so that when you do need to sleep you'll pass out in the backseat of your vehicle immediatly. If you can sublet your room out for lets say 800 bucks, and working doubleshifts collects you at least 3k a month then thats about 4k a month. Do this for 6 months and now you have 20k. Place it on Bitcoin (or whatever) watch it double, take it out, and thats 40k.

Quit all your jobs, pay a couple of months rent up front. Hire a physical trainer (basically a paid friend) just workout like a mad man for two months and get into decent shape. Use that trainer like a therapist as well. You should still have like 30k left.

Move to China where 5'4 foreigners are in high demand. Get a job a Chinese tech company...they foreigners just because it looks good to their international investors. There is an entire market over there called "rent a foreigner" where chinese companies take nom-chinese people, put them in suits, and pay them to sit at the office and do nothing.

Marry that hot Asian girl, learn some chinese, enjoy your life. Even move back to America, as I'm sure the girl would love her newfound citizenship. Use the bullshit work experience you picked up in China to get a legit job in Silicone Valley doing something you are actually good at...like community management work for videogames or something.

Summary:
Your mental health will dissipate with steady sex, and a positive future outlook on life, so don't even worry about it. You ain't ever getting taller. So go make that money and move somewhere in which your physical attributes are infact desirable. Go get it dude.

If you are sick of being a virgin and want to change:

• Join a gym, both a traditional lifting gym where you can go on your own time & a fitness gym like crossfit or jiu jitsu or something. I highly recommend a large MMA style gym that offers jiu jitsu, boxing, muay thai, and wrestling as well as conditioning classes.
• Stop respecting women. This doesn't mean hate woman, it just means respect yourself more. When you put women on a pedestal you just simp yourself into the friendzone. Be confident, talk to them, but show very little interest in them. Talk about yourself more, when they talk about themselves pretend not to listen - only recite back a portion of it and go about your way.
• Clean yourself up. Whatever money you have should go into your appearance. Nice car. Nice cloths. Nice apartment/furniture. Do NOT spend money on women, spend it on yourself. Women will actually appreciate that, and want to be near the you because they associate these things w/ success.

If you get into decent shape for your age, appear confident & desirable - then the women will come. You can do it inside of a year depending upon how much money you have. Keep in mind that loving yourself doesn't mean you can't also love somebody else, but you must put yourself and your needs first in order to achieve that love. Once obtained, then you can start compromising if you wish.

Virginity isn't my problem. It's the fact that I'm unwanted. I have decades of trauma and abuse built up in my mind telling me that I'm worthless to everyone.

What I want is to be wanted. I want to be loved. Hiring a prostitute would drop a label, and give a new experience, but at the cost of reinforcing the issues that are keeping me alone. I would know she wouldn't want to be with me, I would she's only doing it for money(duh). All I'd get out of that is feeling guilty over having used someone that way, and worse self esteem after. I honestly don't think I'd benefit at all from that situation.

Aside from that option, no other opportunities have occured. All I can think is that I'm not good enough. That I can't compare to other men. The only reason I ever focused so much on being a virgin is because of the sheer number of sex/dating topics that appear daily. It's just a constant reminder that they're better/more desirable than I am. It's what it represents, that those people are desirable and I'm not.

Maybe getting a gf, or hooking up would help adjust that outlook, maybe it wouldn't. Idk, because I've never had the opportunity to find out. I just know that I'd be a bit happier knowing that at some level, someone wanted to be with me.

When someone gets their heads out their ass and starts making it feasible to quarantine.

No rent. No bills.

The government pays the paychecks for all workers as a form of unemployment...call it... employment. This includes business owners & landlords.

Anyone who lost their jobs due to Covid must be legally given their jobs back. Anyone who was unemployed when Covid hit is given UBI.

Government plans to deliver food & essentials. Call it DoorDash & Hazmats.

Basically the world just pauses and one doesn't have to worry about losing their jobs, homes, or income as a result of quarantine.

Lack of social skills, social anxiety, depression, low self esteem, long term physical and mental abuse has seemingly broken me to the point that I can't believe anyone would ever want me(in any form, not just sex).

Though, I'm doing better if I don't wallow in it. So that's the route I'm trying to take, but it's a hard habit to break, and tons of topics/posts here still bother me.

This is why prostitution should be universally legalized.

General Popularity of Ninjas:

1. Sub-Zero
2. Scorpion
3. Mileena
4. Kitana
5. Rain
6. Jade
7. Noob Saibot
8. Reptile
9. Ermac
10. Smoke
11. Cyrax
12. Sektor
13. Skarlet
14. Tremor
15. Frost
16. Cyber Smoke
17. Triborg
18. Cyber Sub-Zero
19. Khrome
20. Khameleon
21. Chameleon

The above list is generated via years of polls on GameFaqs various MK boards.

Sub & Scorp are interchangeable. Kitana & Mileena are interchangeable. Rain & Jade are interchangeable. Noob Saibot is in a league of his own. Reptile, Ermac, and Smoke are interchangeable. Cyrax & Sektor are interchangeable. Skarlet & Tremor are interchangeable. There is a very steep drop in support after this, but Frost is in a league of her own. After that they are all interchangeable, and Khrome would probably have more support if he were ever made into an actual playable character.

If you're going to be mean for the sake of being mean, direct your cruelty towards those who actually deserve it.

This.

Richard Branson is not going to like this.

He's friends with Tobias?

I thought Ze/Zer pronouns were made up by people trying to mock LGBT. People actually use them unironically?

No, they don't. The actual Trans & Non-Binary community don't even use them. They serve no purpose, as there isn't a single "non ironic" situation that they could ever actually be used.

Cartoon Network including them is a "how do you do, fellow kids" moment for them.

yeah they can fuck off, I will never use ze/zir

The problem w/ this is that Ze/Zir are supposed to be used when one has not yet been informed of a person's gender yet. This is too avoid "offending" them by assuming their gender. But, if somebody did NOT assume my gender, and called me by Ze/Zir I would be offended. I'd be offended that they second guessed whether or not I was a He/Him.

This is commonplace for the vast vast majority of the world. In order to use Ze/Zir without it devolving into a discussion cesspool, the practice of asking "what is your gender" needs to first be a general and "safe" social practice. But it just isn't. Asking somebody you've just met "What is your Gender" is not social taboo...nor could it ever be, as the world is too large and vast to start replacing the commonplace greeting of "Hi, my name is ___, what is your name?"

If a stranger walked up to you and said "Hi, my name is Susan, and I am a They. What is your name & gender?" wouldn't that make you uncomfortable. How would you react? It is just an awkward way to start a conversation.

This is why more legitimate Trans or Non-Binary people, and not just young progressive twitter users trying to be fashionable, do NOT get offended by people who assume their gender. It is to be expected, and unavoidable - as they themselves will assume other peoples gender for the sake of avoiding the awkward situation I described above. They simply (if they feel the need) politely correct the person, inform them of their prefered pronouns, and then continue the discussion.

It's not a big deal to them. What is a big deal is when somebody refuses to acknowledge them by their preferred pronouns on purpose, or harass/discriminate them as a result of their prefered pronouns.

I live in San Francisco, just blocks away from the Castro District. This district has more trans and non-binary people than anywhere else in the world. I've been politely corrected a few times...it happens, and they don't throw hissy fits. They understand. Twitter is not representative of the real world, and this Cartoon Network stuff is just a poor attempt of virtue signalling. The actual Trans Community doesn't even advocate the use of Ze/Zir for the same reasons I listed above. There is no acceptable social interaction where using such pronoun would be commonplace.

It would be funny if Best Buy bought out GameStop and merged it into their store. Sort of how McDonalds or Starbucks are inside grocery stores.

This is a decent idea actually.

they just started a partnership with microsoft, right?

They did. Microsoft gets like 50% of the game sales or some astronomical number like that. I'm pretty sure the end goal is just for the Gamestop executives to find a way to eventually just offload the entire company to them.

GameStop is a cockroach. A survivor.

Eventually Gamestop will just be a mall kiosk that sells Nintendo E-shop cards and Game Informer subscriptions.

They laid off 75% of the Game Informer staff this year.
