>>24030Damn OP, I won't say I pity you because you don't need any. You're going to be fine. Time is on your side also. I'm 27 now, biggest change i've seen with friends and dating is that somewhere in the mid 20's looks begin to move to the periphery. If you focus on your college and getting a well paying job, the security and success will attract women by default - that is the long game there.
Lets try problem solve now – I’m not sure why I’m so invested in this now, and feel free to simply ignore me, just my opinion. I’ll run along assuming you might want to develop your dating style relationships experience here rather than just fucking.
Judging by your last reply you're probably early 20's, virgin, 'above average intellect' and you seem pretty self-aware, which is all great. I got little experience dating online etc so I’ll focus on face to face and improvement elements of this. From what I understand, dating apps will work to erode your confidence as you may have suggested, if you aren’t Instagram model level sexy.
If you take one thing from me, it is go get yourself into the gym. If you have never been, get online on youtube or into the bodybuilding.com forums or /fit on 4chan and ask for help learning machines and exercises and treat it as a ‘job’ or a mechanism to become both more confident, and sexy for the women you want to attract. The simple act of lifting releases endorphins for free, after 12 weeks consistently going 3-4 days a week you’ll notice differences. At that point the very human experience of delayed gratification will present itself to you and you’ll find yourself more confident. There is real science behind all of this – so if you are at a baseline confidence problem, don’t have a conventionally handsome face, and aren’t rich you need to do what you can, if this consumes you as much as you say. The double whammy here is you’ll look better and your dedication to your body and gym can be seen as a valuable trait when women inspect us – it shows many things, same way you going to college shows you can finish a project, work with a group, and commit to long term goals. The second might be personal, but I like the juxtaposition of a BBW against an athletic guy, you might too – and she probably will if she’s not an FA.
RE: your fear of rejection. It is our lot to be rejected as men – So we work to mitigate this. If I were you I would try to focus less on the sexual aspect of it all, even though I know as a red blooded male it can be hard. E.g. go introduce yourself to the chubby girl of the group (because bbwchan) and ask what she studies, what her hobbies are, music she likes. All of those questions segway you into something that’s a little more real – What do you like about your study, what would your dream job be (Rather than what job does that get you?) Does she have nice makeup on – ask her if she did it herself and that you like it. If she uses a cool word, like serendipitous, be impressed upon it. There is dozens of approaches to take – also go get yourself some new clothes that aren’t cheap shit if you don’t already. A few Hilfiger tee’s and a pair of nice chino’s/jeans with footwear and a watch, and my boy you’re halfway there for 200 bucks.
Flirting doesn't have to be something physical or overt either - you can complement a tattoo, or earring. I found the easiest thing to do when complimenting anyone is tell the truth - if you like that woman’s big belly or tits in a nice dress, feel inclined to say so in a nice way that the situation calls for. E.g. don’t go up to a stranger you've spotted and say your belly looks great in that dress. But if you’re in class or at a bar and it seems appropriate, comment on the dress (not the belly). I’ve found women respond better initially to less sexual and physical compliments out the gate.
“You got awesome tits” – not good.
“You are killing it today in that outfit, matching colours, nice!” – good.
"Love the Doc Martins" - Good.
(Eventhough post pandemic we are spoilt for women becoming fatter many don’t share our preferences and are conscious about it – it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy them but don’t make it the focus of both of your sexualities, it could be uncomfortable and I’d even say objectifying for the woman specifically – sorry if I’m treating you slightly retarded, want to cover all bases.)
I’ll assume you have a part-time job – if you don’t go get one in the service industry or sales where you are forced to speak to people every day and improve your confidence and face to face skills. I worked at a news agent and supermarket for years through college and it helped my confidence – you’re forced to engage with everyone from CEO’s to Postmen on the same level. Remember everyone is just another person. Side note, I think working in a supermarket made me like MILFS way more…
Anyway dude, I hope some of this can apply to you and I didn’t offend you in any way with some of the comments. Let us know how you go if you can be bothered – it can be cathartic typing your thoughts, and the best thing is you know what problems you face. Maybe see if you can bag a New Years kiss this year. Go tee up a NYE party and don’t even worry about bagging a fatty, or even fucking – you’ll have to work up to it all unless it’s a real crazy night! Have a few drinks and a bowl with some baddies, some party girls will happily gas you up if you pass the vibe check - You're young and single so let yourself have a good time, whatever that is to you. It becomes a lot harder once you graduate and get responsibilities. If a skinny girl is into you or giving you signs, give her a go – it will help your confidence and you can use that experience!
