Instead of laughing he should have learned from their warnings.

Get a blue robe with stars on them. That is what all the fancy wizards wear.

Never visited 4chan personally but this hits way close to home laughs nervously

The only difference is that I thought I would care as I neared 30, but I really don't. That adolescent pressure to lose your virginity kinda wears off unless you obsess over it

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Honestly that's the thing I'm afraid of the most. That I will stop wanting sex and just give up.

[–] starman2112 15 points 3 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Why is wanting to have sex so important to you? Aside from being a societal norm, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to having sex

[–] [email protected] 15 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because they want to have sex, they just never learned how to get someone to want to have sex with them.

[–] starman2112 4 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Right, but like. Why is wanting to have sex so important?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not very sensitive to my feelings, this my entire life I relied on my smarts to figure things out. And now that I think about it bit more indepth, sex itself is not as important to me.

I'm a romantic type, I want to love someone and maybe hopefully be loved too. Now, here's my rambling: the sex part probably comes in a strong desire to have children that I noticed I have, and a want for emotional bonding.

I'm not exactly 100% sure on this self analysis, but judging by a gut feeling when I imagine those things happening, I'd say thats probably the closest thing to reality.

You sound like a reasonable dude. So long as you’re doing stuff for fun that requires other people and being in person, nigh on guaranteed you’ll run into someone who wants to hang out with you and is basically the same.

People wind up sleeping together at some point.

Just mix. Your people are hiding in the same places you are.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Thank you for these words, I really appreciate that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Because when having it with someone who you really dig, and they dig you, it's absolutely fucking incredible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Idk but if it was a felony to get laid I still would. Probably a biological desire or something.

Like, it’s valuable to deconstruct the social aspect of it, but also people had to go to the Supreme Court for the right to get laid in my country so there’s definitely more than just a social aspect.

The issue is that barring external factors you still have to actually get someone to want to fuck you to have sex with them and that’s the hard part for many of these folks. And I get that that sucks

[–] starman2112 -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I get that. I just think that the idea that not wanting to have sex scares ma1w4re is strange.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That makes sense. I guess I just assumed he meant it as a “some dreams are met with acceptance of the fact that they’ll never happen” way. Like being ok with the fact that you’ll never be famous or learning to stop wanting parental love. Not asexuality, but complacency and acceptance.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sex is important to most organisms. I don't think people want sex just because it's a norm in society. I think they want it due to an instinctive desire. Just like people want to eat food and breathe air.

[–] starman2112 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, I worded my comment poorly. I can easily understand why someone would want to have sex. I just don't understand why someone would be afraid of not wanting to have sex.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I guess it's personal to different people. Some people don't care about sex and that's fine. Some people want sex, and as long as they do it in an ethical way (e.g. not sexually abusing anybody), that's fine too.

If sex does matter to someone then they might not want to lose that part of themselves. Just like, if you have a certain hobby, you might think "I hope I maintain my interest in this hobby, because it's a key part of who I am".

That hyper sex drive doesn't lessen until you're 40.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I cast self-loathing and feelings of inadequacy!

Are you implying it's MY fault I never leave my apartment!?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Absolutely not. It's probably the bad batch of reagents for alchemy that have been going around.

Should have started looksmaxing.

The truth is girls have way more options than guys and girls aren't going to choose the worst option.

But still 30 is still young. (I actually can't believe how far away and old 30 once felt). But look after yourself and be nice to be around. Someone will touch your peepee.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago

But also they need to personalitymax. Pretty don’t keep me company

dunno I've seen some visually mismatched (by social/tv media standards) couples. The fat white weeabo man with the cutesy japanese girlfriend exists, I've seen him and he's huge yet somehow absolutely terrifyingly good at ddr/itg. The man defies gravity on those no bar cardio tracks. There are others too but this man is a legend at the arcade I frequented in highschool. Actually I've has suspicions that he is just fat looking, but actually rock solid if you were to poke his belly. In hindsight probably not the worst option...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There is maybe a subtle but big difference between being a fat slob and being powerful.

Big guys/ strong guys always seemed to be attractive at least to some people. Henry the 8th was big to look good. Apparently he was much slimmer as a youth.

But I'm not a woman and I have no first hand experience on being overweight so what do I know?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

To be fair, Henry got brain damage from a jousting incident that destroyed any impulse control. And it helped that no one could tell him no if they wanted to live.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

That's interesting. I didn't know that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The age of 30 is where you are in your physical, and mental prime. I would kill to be 30 again.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yeah I'm 30, strongest I've ever been in the gym.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Also 30, withering away, chronic incurable disease, disowned by family, homeless, broken shin, traumatised, living like Anne Frank. Hello from the otherside!

(Atleast the world is going to burn)

Crowd fund this man a weekend in Amsterdam

I mean, you don’t have to become a wizard

<glances at Glock 19 on table>

[–] starman2112 6 points 3 months ago

You'll still turn 30, with the added benefit of not having a chance to not become a wizard
