As soon as you finish college and get a decent job, the girls on your job, milfs, single moms, single girls, will start gunning for you. Takes this time to figure out what you want to do as a career and work aggressively towards it.

Khane's cooking advice is seriously good advice. Join a cooking class. Bitches love a man that can cook. Lots of dishes that taste great and can be impressive because they don't know how easy it is to make them because they have always have bought them from a store or Applebees.

And they like open relationships, amirite Khane?

He may also just need to evaluate his life to figure out if he's happy with himself. If you're not happy with yourself a girl will not magically change that. It may mask the feeling temporarily but it will not change it.

Cooking is actually a great woman-catching activity. But be careful if you learn it and act like you like it that you actually do like it; it will quickly become "you never do X anymore" if you never really liked it and just used it as a pussy net.

A cooking class also isn't going to give him the confidence and charm women.

Tenks is right, he needs to evaluate his life and figure how to live happily single.

Not exactly about how to charm women or anything, but in my experience this is the right attitude. What I did is pick up 3 hobbies (I call them the Trifecta) when I was 22-23 and I am 28 now. One to keep you healthy, one to improve yourself and one that can potentially make you some money on the side. They should all also be fun to you.

Keeps your time full and mind occupied. Then the rest kind of falls into place.

I had a complete relationship derail (4 year relationship ended with very little notice) about 6 months ago. Completely ruined all the plans I thought I had up until that point. But I was honestly surprised at how quickly I'd come back from it. Still on track, had fun with some rebounds and now am back in another relationship. But life is funny like that I suppose.

Kriptini just focus on yourself. Finish college, get a good job, move out of your parents house. The women part will happen by almost default if you do the things I listed.

They wont even care if you play video games at that point.
I have a game plan, and I think I'm on the right track. Trying to get accepted to a university to get my BA, but I've been trying to get into one since I've gotten out of high school and I just can't seem to get accepted to the ones that have a program for my major (I'm a film editor). I'm lowering my standards a little bit an applying again for fall of next year, though. (The schools I'm applying to are so impacted that one has to apply a year in advance.) My current assets and prospects are:

  • I have an AA (in Fine Arts) degree from my local community college.
  • I work full-time in a nearby city that I commute to five days a week. It pays really well, but although it's related to my field, it's a dead-end for my career.
  • I have a few thousand bucks saved up.
  • I may have an opportunity to work in a professional film studio this February, which is what I want to do. This wouls probably be what gets me to move out because it'd be too far to commute.

I just get lonely, you know?

If you want to find a hobby that most anyone can find interesting and women will respond to. Learn how to cook. 99% of the time talking about cooking and what you like to make leads to great conversation in my experience. And if you can make things that people typically only get at restaurants it often legitimately impresses women. And hey, ya gotta eat anyway so it's also a very useful skill to have.
Not bad advice, I'll look into it. I gotta start working out again, too.

He may also just need to evaluate his life to figure out if he's happy with himself. If you're not happy with yourself a girl will not magically change that. It may mask the feeling temporarily but it will not change it.
My life right now is "wake up, work, hobbies, eat." I do a lot of junk in my spare time,

  • Video games, obviously, including leading a guild and raid group in FFXIV
  • Tabletop games with my bros once or twice a week
  • I volunteer for a charity called Extra Life, which is an annual gaming marathon to raise money for children's hospitals. I often go to different conventions to recruit people for the annual event.
  • Usually I find time to go see a movie or do karaoke once a week as well

I guess I'm "content" with my life, but only in the sense of "content" one can be with having a lot of hobbies and no romance whatsoever. It gets kinda lonely at night.

Sounds like you should just roll up an online profile and don't overthink it. Your life seems pretty well in order.

Alright. I'm gonna sign up for a cooking class and get a gym membership, then try out a dating site. Thanks, guys. Maybe I'll report back.

I've been nailed by this more than once, but then again they pretty much turn everything you used to do into a "pussy net" accusation at some point.

Her: "You used to take me to Nick & Sams every week, now you just want to order in Chinese and watch movies".
Me: "You used to wake me up in the morning with a blowjob, now I wake to you in period panties using my Mach 3 to shave your pits".

Video games aren't a problem. If video games are the only thing you ever do in your spare time that is the problem.
What if his other hobby is furiously masturbating? I think in that case he should focus on the gaming.

Krip, bro. I thought you were forever jailbait. Who said you were allowed to grow up? Anyway, I suggest tinder or oriental massage parlors to knock out that stench of desperation. Also, roll the video gaming and table top gaming into just 1 'gaming' hobby if you mention them to girls. And finally, I don't see why you didn't list film editing as a hobby. Just because you want to make a living at it doesn't mean it's not a hobby. That sounds like something chicks might dig.

Haha, I'm like the kid you never wanted but are secretly glad you have! It's weird to think about it, but I was 14 when I joined Flames, and I even sent a PM to LFG asking him if it was okay for me to post there! It's been seven years, now!

And finally, I don't see why you didn't list film editing as a hobby. Just because you want to make a living at it doesn't mean it's not a hobby. That sounds like something chicks might dig.
You're right man, thanks for the advice.

Rescue a dog. Those fuckers are happy to see you every time you walk in the door. They don't even care about your video game habits and will usually cheer you on as you slay dragons. You can then hang out at dog parks without being the creepy dude without a dog. If your dog is cute, women will flock to them and you can get used to socializing with them again.

After I got divorced, I used to think I needed to be dating or in a relationship to fill that void. After awhile it just got old when things didn't work out. Now that I have my dogs, I find that I don't really give a shit and spend my time enjoying my hobbies and I'm generally happy and when I'm not dating someone I don't feel lonely like I did after the divorce. I'm getting old though so maybe it's just an age thing.
