The 27 Year Old Virgin - Page 31

have you tried physical therapy? (serious question)

A walking stick makes for a nice accessory

 

Sometime my ass. Tomorrow is Saturday night. Just go. Order a Sidecar or a Corpse Reviver #2 -- any half-decent craft cocktail bar worth opening their doors will know how to make those without thinking about it.

 

Incidentally, as far as that twitter link goes, why are you reading that crap? Women are not 'women' -- they are not a single block of like mindedness. Some women are dicks. Some are jewels. There is a spectrum in between. That thread is populated with the dicks. End of story.

I agree. I carried a walking stick when I was 16. I still do, sometimes.

It was worse before. He was earlier reading this really depressing forum about social anxiety and talking about how it resonated with him or something.

Also, haven't seen you around much H. Where've you been?

NOt to mention guys say a lot of nasty stuff about women.

The difference is it's all true...

 

Eh, no reason to read stuff that just drags you down.

 

I've been busy -- grad school part time while working full time, and those activities are separated by a 2.5 hr commute, so my days are 18hrs door to door. Lots of family stuff going on, too. I crop up now and again in the WAY (drinking) today thread, as a late night cocktail is one of the few indulgences my schedule allows.

Twice this past week this thread came to mind, and then of course I thought about tagut's cry for help and the 'you don't understand loneliness, bro' posts;


But last week I found myself in a large hospital waiting for an appointment as a youngish guy gets wheeled by on a gurney, looking like death - and I thought back to this thread, tagut did not even really understand, merely he wanted to tell everyone he is lonely and no one understands that feel.... I feel like, 30 pages later, OP isn't lethally bothered by his solitude or virginity; rather they are simply things that bug him that he'd like to change if it were easy. Anyway, I was sitting there in that hospital looking at that guy about to die and thought, 'fuck, really how hard is it for amathew to get laid if he wants to?'

Last night, had a similar moment, I got dragged to see a band play, I go to see it and the singer was born without any legs or arms and he was up there singing to some pretty hard music; I looked him up on the internet and found that he kind of tended to his own acceptance and later fame, by writing a mega bestseller about his life and did TV, etc - the band seems to be an unrelated hobby thing. Anyway, I am deaf and I wasn't really hearing any of his music, but still I stood there rather impressed that he was living his life and playing the cards he was dealt. He even had a wife and a kid who came to see him. So, you know, adversity and all that, it can be overcome if you crank back the self-pity a bit, or a lot. Really has nothing to do with lingering virginity specifically, just that you gotta stop impeding your own progress. Kind of unrelated but I stood in that room thinking there were a bunch of women who would be really down to fuck if I had been free to do so. As has been said, a bit of alcohol and a convivial atmosphere help.
There is a line in Norwegian Wood, the book, where Nagasawa tells Toru that people who feel sorry for themselves are assholes - and really, that applies to most.

This is very true. It takes a good deal of narcissism to feel as sorry about oneself as some people do.

Drew, has your hearing at least improved a little?

Nah I can't hear. It's not coming back either, unless a miracle happens. As above though, I do make sure to remind myself that everybody has their own sort of problems and that sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and not doing anything with what you have is a pretty shitty existence, I don't let it control me. It might even surprise the tagutcow but I have had times of loneliness myself, and I have in the past lived doing not much but wallowing in self-pity - and then I looked back on all the time I had wasted and considered that the world at large really gave not a single fuck during those spans, and decided to change that part of me.

Anyway, it's more an inconvenience for others than it is for me, I am alive.

That was a great post

It seems like SF wants amathew to get laid more so than himself. It's really hard to help someone who dosen't want to help himself as much.

Perhaps it's related to low testosterone? Might consider getting that checked at your next doctor's appointment.
