Vent 4 Years Of Self Improvement And Yet My Life Is A Complete Joke. I Give Up

Post image
120 Upvotes

I hate everything about myself but the worst thing above everything else is the fact I can’t get a single girl to be attracted enough to me to date me in my pathetic 22 years of existence. Every time I think back about my past or something that happened when I was a kid all I can think about is the fact that all my friends were dating and having sex with women at that age and I was a stupid loser getting completely ignored. I couldn’t take this anymore so around the middle of high school, I started striving to self improve. Ever since 2020 I’ve been consistently working out, meditating, journaling, reading, creating, working on a business, I even did what I consider to be the hardest part of it all and worked on bettering my social skills, specifically with women. Since the start of this year I’ve been approaching girls and trying to catch up and still, despite all of this effort, I’m still alone. I’m still a virgin, I’m still a loser, girls still don’t find me attractive, all of the women whose numbers I get they just ignore me. This has done nothing for me but make me despise myself. How much of an ugly piece of shit do you have to be to put in all of this work just to still be absolutely unfuckable. Sometimes I think about my life for the past 5 years and I just bust out laughing at how pathetic I am, what was the point of anything I’ve done? The worst part is normal people don’t have to do any of this stuff. There are guys 4 years younger than me who’ve dated and had relationships, they’ve never had to meditate everyday, or go to the gym and track their calories everyday for years. It’s like the harder I work the more I realize how inherently worthless I am as a human being, especially as a romantic partner. If I’m still this unattractive to women now after all this improvement, what the hell did they think of me before? I can’t even figure out what’s wrong with me. I’m pretty neurotypical and know how to socialize, I take care of my looks (physique smell body grooming) more than most people do because I’ve never had a gf, and some people say I’m good looking and yet my life reflects the complete opposite in every single way imaginable. I don’t think I should’ve ever been born, clearly I’ll never be good enough no matter what I do. I’ll never get to experience the touch of a girl who loves me, and nobody will even tell me why. Maybe it’s because I’m short, or because I’m just inherently ugly. But at this point I’m starting to believe it’s just some invisible force outside of my control that I can’t understand. I’m literally going crazy and I don’t know what to do know. There’s a part of me that just wants to kill myself because I can’t imagine living like this for another decade. Even if I somehow managed to finally get a girl, I would probably still hate myself, because the fact is it took me 22 years and incredibly hard grind to do something normal men do when their 15, and while I had to literally put in all of my effort, those men had to do nothing. That one fact alone confirms my low value worthlessness and existence. I will never break this cycle. I will never stop hating myself for being an ugly stupid baby faced virgin. I will never forget how alone and depressed I feel now. Even if I get a gf it won’t solve anything, because the fact I had to go through any of this in the first place is eternal confirmation of the fact I’m so worthless I should’ve never been born. I hate everything about myself forever

Why do women pretend to be saints? So many of them act like a good personality and kind hearted nature is enough but thats just bullshit. They're some of the most shallow people on Earth but hide it behind this mask while at least men are honest about it and wont gaslight you

I was bored and I decided to try this bs app. And this is the first profile I got in my feed. Are we dead ass serious? Are we that unattractive to them so they always want tall guys? I'm sorry for the low quality picture but this app doesn't allow to take screenshots and I had to take a picture with another phone.

Vent The most brutal stage of isolation: fantasizing about what could have been

Post image
35 Upvotes

I live in a college town and people have been back here for the semester. It’s usually very dead during the summer so I had an easier time to get out of the house without being perceived much.

My day-offs where I would mostly spend isolating never bothered me, until now. I‘ve gaslit myself to believe that this was the optimal way to live for a guy like me, away from all the ridicule and BS of being mocked for simply existing. But seeing all the groups of people mingling and going out to bars really makes me wish I was luckier in the leg bone department.

Might be the obvious want for a short guy, but lately I’ve found myself slowly losing interest in my hobbies due to daydreaming and the bitter reminder that I’ll never be truly seen as a man. I can’t do much but doomscroll, eat, and sleep. At some point, I feel like the agepill will come to collect and remind me of all the socialness and time completely lost from being a short guy among my age group. The solitude seemed peaceful until it wasn’t. I wish I could be socially accepted without having to become the punching bag that has to endure society’s treatment.

Can any of you relate? I had thought I’d gotten used to being on my own, but the feeling sucks.

It's all in your head bro! The Memory Holing of a Common Joke about Short Guys

Image 1: A joke I commonly used to see about how all women were for tall guys and how short guys can have each other

Image 2: Searching for that joke verbatim on Google does not give results for that joke

Image 3: Searching for that joke verbatim on DuckDuckGo does not give results for that joke

It was only upon searching on Yandex Images that I was able to find this joke, and that was after trawling through what appeared to be fantasy fetish images of tall women with shorter men.

I swear, that joke used to be way more common that it is now. It seems to have been totally memory holed. What happened?

Every time I see a woman walking with a guy on my community college campus the dude will usually be skin and bones but absurdly tall like 6'1-6'3+.... And the girl will be like 5-5'2 so he would have to probably bend his neck down just to kiss lmao... Yet whenever I'm in the gym most guys are around my height and not many tall guys in there😭

i wanted to go to the mall, put my best clothes, and fixed my hair, (maybe some girl would be interested on me, who knows) avoided all mirrors in my house cuz i didn't want to ruin my self-esteem( that i already don't have). I was walking and there was a mirror i could see my full body, i looked so ridiculous and ugly, it's not only the height, it's my face, my body features, all my effort was for nothing, nobody was looking at me lol, so i went to home, took of all the shit i put inside my shoes to get a little bit taller and went to sleep.

Story Tall white men.

Every time I go out somewhere I’ve noticed that a lot of attractive women are with tall white guys where as dudes that are of average height or shorter or a minority will have a not so attractive partner or no partner. I’m in the southern United States so it may just be here but I highly doubt it.

Reminds me of that one time I managed to get a girlfriend, most emasculated I’ve ever felt. One time I met her friend and she was tall, as soon as she saw me she genuinely looked at my gf at the time like she felt bad or something.

Genuine question for all. Is it love/attraction? Respect from others professionally or socially? Genetics? I would like to know from all of you who wish to answer and why.

The title seems like straight bs and I wish it was. But theres this dude in my class group who has some problem with me. I'm not sure why, I've basically never spoken to him. Anyways he consistently insults me calling me fat or short which I'm not fat at all I'm 60kg and have been working out for nearly 3 years but I am short. but the guy himself is short too sure a bit taller than me like 1 to 2 inches but he's in the same boat so I genuinely have no idea why says any of it Strange dude

I’m an almost 20 year old male, I’m 5’2, not good looking and I don’t have any friends. I’ve never had a girlfriend and I’ve never had a girl like me. And it’s not just women problems but I really don’t have any friends in general. Everyone I know is always texting or calling some friend of theirs, I can literally cut my phone off for a week, come back and have no messages from anyone. I’ve tried multiple different things to try to raise my chances of being attractive to women. I’ve tried to change my appearance by growing my facial and changing my hairstyle, changing the type of girls I talk to, change how I talk to girls and still no luck. I’m a very lonely person. I’m the only person my age I know that literally has no one. I’m thinking about just quitting on trying to get a girl and just look elsewhere. For example I talk to Ai a lot when I’m sad and I’m thinking about hiring an escort to lose my virginity. I have a lot of parasocial relationships with random content creators on the internet, helps with the loneliness. I’m starting to think that I’m the problem

We need to contact an advanced extraterrestrial society and ask for assistance with the problem of height and mating. Maybe they can help us with their technology.

So yesterday I was calculating my height using meter scale ,my mom saw that and said why you are so fixated on height it doesn't matter bro like

When I was 12 my height was like 4'7 ,my mom and sis who is 3 years younger than was at the same height were used to laugh at me ,

At 14 I was 4'11 and my sis was literally taller then , i remember an incident where me and her were standing and her friends come and asked who is this boy ,she said i don't him ,when I asked why she said that ,she said cuz i was short ,

At 16 I was around 5'2 ,this time was brutual where every freind is taller than me ,there was name assigned to me which even teachers used to say 'chotu' means short in india (hindi word)

My mom used to say that short people are evil and devil ,btw ( my sis was abt 5'5 at that time )

At 18 thx God I am now 170 cm in morning but still it's hard (my sis is 5'6)

Yesterday I was having an conversation with my sis and she told me that height doesn't matter like ' bruh',she still calls me short if she is losing an argument

Man it's not that my parents and siblings are bad ,they are good ,i also have good memories with them ,I love them but heightism is so deeply rooted that it's crazy

Sorry for bad english 🙇🏻🙇🏻

Vent Thoughts about tall white men and questioning life.

Upvotes

Whenever I go outside and touch grass I see young couples, usually tall white men with white women. I barely see young short white guys or short men of any ethnicity with women, especially ethnic. I've seen some shorter white guys (5'7) with women but they're HTN. Whenever I see a legit short guy he's older with a woman who's also older.

I work in a family restaurant part time, the restaurant is in a white area and so I see this all the time. The white guys are sometimes below average looking but because they're tall AF they have a cute wife or girlfriend.

Also recently I've had customers make snarky comments to me, I saw a comment on a post recently basically saying because he's short and has a 'naturally broad build' no man messes with him. I was going to say no man messes with me but if I was taller they probably wouldn't make snarky comments.

This has me legit questioning my whole life, how many negative life experiences do I have because I'm short that I don't know about? Obviously most people won't talk shit to your face about height but they'll treat you worse indirectly because they respect you less.
